Support initramfs on parisc

C99 initialiser conversion; some from Rusty, some from me.

This adds some missing __exit specifications which lead to a failure to
link the AFS code directly into the kernel.

With these changes the boot wrapper successfully builds,
although this may not be the absolute best way to do things.

This didn't compile since sd_find_target is gone, and is to
move into userspace anyway.

This moves the sections which are read-only (e.g. exception table,
kallsyms data) to go before the read/write data section, and the
feature fixup section into the init data area.  It also adds the
initramfs section.

defaults for the advanced kernel config options.

We need __div64_32 exported, and flush_icache_page is now a noop
so it shouldn't be exported.

This simplifies the C code by removing some #ifdefs.

- Fixed min keysize bug for Blowfish (it is 32, not 64).
- Documentation updates.

Just a new PCI ID (and get twice the MegaHz :-).

This makes VT8653 (VIA Apollo Pro266T) work with AGP.  I had someone
test it and verify it works.

This fixes a minor typo in sl82c105.c which stops it from compiling.

This updates the powermac IDE driver in 2.5 so it uses the 2.5 kernel
interfaces and types rather than the 2.4 ones.  It also makes it use
blk_rq_map_sg rather than its own code to set up scatter/gather lists in
pmac_ide_build_sglist, and makes it use ide_lock instead of
io_request_lock.

This updates the macserial driver in 2.5 so it compiles and works.  The
main changes are to use schedule_work instead of task queues and BHs.
The patch also removes the wait_key method.

I know we need to change macserial to use the new serial
infrastructure.  I'm posting this patch in case it is useful to anyone
trying to compile up a kernel for a powermac at the moment.

 - Some constant adjusted
 - Comments added
 - Better hash initialization
 - Correct timeout setup
 - Added __KERNEL__ bypass to avoid userspace inclusion problems
 - Cleaned up locking
 - Function poll_init_wait() now calls poll_init_wait_ex()
 - Event return fix ( Jay Vosburgh )
 - Use <linux/hash.h> for the hash

If a rpc operation indicates that response should
be dropped (e.g. kmalloc failure) we must still
call pc_release to release anything it may have allocated.

This allows NFSv3 to manage 4096byte symlinks.

Also remove now-unused svcbuf_reserver function.

This was used to reserve space in output buffer
for 'data', but now this is stored in separate page.

rq_res->len was not always updated properly.
It is only needed in the sendto routine, so we calculate
it just before that is called, and don't bother
updating it anywhere else.

This patch changes read and readdir in nfsd.

read:
  If the file supports readpage, we use it to collect pages out of the page
  cache and to attache them directly to the outgoing nfs reply.
  The reduces the number of copies by one, and if the filesystem/device
  driver didn't copy the data, and if the network card can support not copying
  the data, then you get zero-copy reads.

readdir:
  A separate page is used for stoing the readdir response so that a fill
  PAGE_SIZE bytes of reply can be supported.

From Hirokazu Takahashi <taka@valinux.co.jp>

As all rpc server replies are now in well defined pages,
we can use ->sendpage to send these replies, and so
make use for zero-copy transmit on network cards that
support it.

 A partial block write over a block on a failed device
 would need to pre-read that block, which means pre-read all
 blocks in stripe and generate that block.  But the generate-block
 code never checked for this possibility, so it wouldn't happen.

When analysing a stripe in handle_stripe we set bits
 R5_Wantread or R5_Wantwrite
to indicate if a read or write is needed.  We don't actually schedule the
IO immediately as this is done under a spinlock (sh->lock) and
generic_make_request can block.  Instead we check these bits after
the lock has been lifted and then schedule the IO.

But once the lock has been lifted we aren't safe against multiple
access, and it is possible that the IO will be scheduled never, or twice.

So, we use test_and_clear to check and potentially schedule the IO.

This wasn't a problem in 2.4 because the equivalent information was
stored on the stack instead of in the stripe.

We also make sure bi_io_vec[0] has correct values as a previous
call to generic_make_request may have changed them.
