[PATCH] x86-64 merge for 2.6.0test3
Without these changes an x86-64 NUMA kernel won't boot in many configurations. The main change is the improved IOMMU code which supports merging of mappings and has various bugfixes. - Update defconfig - Use argument ptregs in 32bit elf_core_copy_task_fpregs - Harden aperture fixup code: read aperture from the AGP bridge if needed, better error checking. - Support nmi_watchdog=panic to panic on watchdog trigger - IOMMU: Support panic on IOMMU overflow (iommu=panic) - IOMMU: Force SAC for mappings >40bits when iommu=force is active (this can potentially give better performance) - IOMMU: Cache northbridges for faster TLB flush - IOMMU: Fix SMP race in TLB flush - IOMMU: Merge pci_alloc_consistent and pci_map_single - IOMMU: Clean up leak tracing - IOMMU: Rewrite pci_map_sg, support merging of mappings On overflow fall back to piece-by-piece mapping. - IOMMU: Tell block layer to assume merging when iommu force is active (this gives better performance with MTP fusion, drawback is that the overflow/fragmentation handling of the IOMMU area is still a big dubious with that) - Fix/clean up per cpu data - Add 64bit clean time(2) - Export cpu_callout_map for IPv6 - Handle nodes with no own memory in NUMA discovery. This fixes boot on various newer Opteron motherboards where the memory is only connected to a single CPU. - Fix fallback path for failed NUMA discovery. numnodes has to be reset. - Check for enabled nodes in NUMA discovery (Eric Biederman) - Remove NUMA emunodes support. Has badly bitrotted. - Add __clear_bit_string for IOMMU code - Add new 32bit system calls to ia32_unistd.h - Remove duplicate default_do_nmi prototype - Make PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS dependent on no_iommu - Fix padding length of siginfo_t to match glibc - More pci direct access functions.
