Fix some busted comments in page_buf.h, use a more
descriptive name for __pagebuf_iorequest.

SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:155788a

The help for CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS claims that devfs "is a more general
facility".  But that apparently hasn't been true since 2.5.68.  This patch
removes that claim, and adds a warning to the DEVFS_FS help.

This updates my email address.

This corrects the following problem:

- release user buffer mapping early in read path (prevent oops in some
  HBA drivers)

Patch by Ivan Gyurdiev.

Here are some minor updates to the IPMI driver.  They fix the following:

    * A missing check for copy_to_user() in the watchdog driver.
    * Removal of unnecessary check_region() calls.
    * Fixes for the ACPI configuration. The previous one would only work
      with memory addresses, this will work with memory addresses,
      ports, and hadle checking that the type is correct.

The HPT366 code is broken - it tries to set the interface to too high a
speed, which leads to error messages at boot time and/or to data
corruption.

The typical effect at boot time is

 hde: set_drive_speed_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
 hde: set_drive_speed_status: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

Fixed thus.

When a socket has a request ready it notifies a server thread.
When the thread has 'received' the request it calls svc_sock_received
to confirm the fact.

In some cases, svc_sock_received would be called an extra time and
this could lead to linked-list corruption and bad problems.

raid5 tries to honour RWA_MASK, but messes it up and can return bad data.
Just ignore RAW_MASK for now.

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.

This patch fixes a kernel lockup with 2.6.0-test2 when the trident.c
OSS driver is loaded and the driver attempts to initialize the
card. The problem is that in ali_ac97_get() we lock the card->lock
spinlock, but never release it on the good path, only on the error
path. This patch adds the missing spin_unlock_irqrestore().

This bug snuck in in a 2.4 sync from Alan, and 2.4 appears to suffer
from the same problem.  A patch for that will be send to Marcelo
momentarily.

NFS with 2.5.75 as both client and server is broken with GNU Make.

The nanosecond field of timestamps of newly touched files is often
negative on the client, which is probably why Make fails.  The value
also bears no relation to the file's nanosecond field on the server.

The culprit is htons() used where htonl() should be:

-	*p++ = htonl((u32) time->tv_sec); *p++ = htons(time->tv_nsec);
+	*p++ = htonl((u32) time->tv_sec); *p++ = htonl(time->tv_nsec);

The rest of this patch corrects nfsd to use microseconds in NFSv2, not
nanoseconds.  (The client already gets this right, but I have
optimised it slightly to avoid division when possible).

The change to detach the threads in zap_other_threads() broke the case
where the non-thread-group-leader is the cause of de_thread().

In this case the group leader will be detached and freed before
switch_exec_pids() is complete and invalid data will be used.  This is a
patch that makes sure that the group leader does not get detached and
reaped.

This is a cleaner fix that avoids having two separate unlock
operations.

This disables the local APIC before reboot.  This fixes BIOS reboot
problems reported by a few people.

disable_local_APIC() now checks if detect_init_APIC() enabled the
local APIC via the APIC_BASE MSR, and if so it now disables APIC_BASE.
Previously we would leave APIC_BASE enabled, and that made some
BIOSen unhappy.

The SMP reboot code calls disable_local_APIC(). On SMP HW there is
no change since detect_init_APIC() isn't called and APIC_BASE isn't
enabled by us. An SMP kernel on UP HW behaves just like an UP_APIC
kernel, so it disables APIC_BASE if we enabled it at boot.

The UP_APIC disable-before-suspend code is simplified since the existing
code to disable APIC_BASE is moved into disable_local_APIC().

(Felix Kühling originally reported the BIOS reboot problem. This is a
fixed-up version of his preliminary patch.)

Again, more work to do here..

Remove prototype. It was wrong anyway.

More to do, but its a beginning.

if ki_users = 1, we don't do the wakeup, which seems wrong.
