Fix bug identified by Chris Mason. If writeback_inodes is left holding a ref on the superblock's last inode then the superblock list walk can race with umount and the superblock can be released. Take and put a ref against the superblock to fix that.

From: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> Teach the x86 stack tracing code to use frame pointers, if they are available. It eliminates all the false-positives in the normal stack traces. This is a big improvement, and -fomit-frame-pointer seems to make no difference at all to generated code size. Maybe we should kill off -fomit-frame-pointer.

This fixes a problem with multiple IDE controllers in a system. The problem is that pcibios_fixups table (in arch/i386/pci/fixup.c) uses the pci_fixup_ide_trash() quirk for Intel's ICH3 (my case specifically 8086:248b). This clears any bogus BAR information set up by the BIOS. In a system which has multiple ICH3's can't use any of the IDE controllers beside the one on the first ICH3. Anyhow, the fix is to make sure pci_fixup_ide_trash resets the BARs only for first time being called, so the subsequent IDE controllers will use the BIOS BARs. This is better than "loosing" all these IDE controllers in the case their BARs set right. The issue discussed and agreed with Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz (see below).

x86_64 has an incorrect ffs() implementation. The asm uses "g" instead of "rm" for the bsfl instruction. (This was spotted by Yuri Per.) bsfl does not accept constant values but only memory or register ones. On i386 the correct "rm" is used. This causes NTFS build to fail as gcc optimizes a variable into a constant and ffs() then fails to assemble.

This fixes a bug where different partitions were assigned the same MAC address. Also, according to Anton, gcc 3.5 didn't like our mac_addr_p gymnastics, so this ends up fixing that as well.

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> It is possible to attach a virtual disk to a logical partition on an iSeries machine so that it is read only to the partition. This patch allows Linux to use such virtual disks.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> After I sent the recent patch to include/asm-ppc64/io.h which put stronger barriers in the I/O accessor macros, Paul McKenney pointed out to me that a writex/outx could still slide out from inside a spinlocked region. This patch makes the barriers a bit stronger so that this can't happen. It means that we need to use a sync instruction for wmb (a full "heavyweight" sync), since drivers rely on wmb for ordering between writes to system memory and writes to a device. I have left smb_wmb() as a lighter-weight barrier that orders stores, and doesn't impose an ordering between cacheable and non-cacheable accesses (the amusingly-named eieio instruction). I am assuming here that smp_wmb is only used for ordering stores to system memory so that another cpu will see them in order. It can't be used for enforcing any ordering that a device will see, because it is just a gcc barrier on UP. This also changes the spinlock/rwlock unlock code to use lwsync ("light-weight sync") rather than eieio, since eieio doesn't order loads, and we need to ensure that loads stay inside the spinlocked region.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> When I sent the patch to uninline the spinlocks, I inadvertently left out the change to arch/ppc64/Kconfig which defines the config symbol for inlining the locks (CONFIG_SPINLINE now). This patch adds it. It also adds a symbol CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR which enables the code for calling the hypervisor on shared-processor logically-partitioned system to yield the physical processor to the lock holder when spinning. (The code that depends on this symbol is already present in arch/ppc64/lib/locks.c.)

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Matt Porter's recent changes broke the compile for non-4xx ppc32 systems, unfortunately. I get an error that mfdcr is not defined in include/asm-ppc/ocp.h when compiling for powermac (reasonable, since the mfdcr instruction only exists on 4xx processors). The patch below fixes it.
