When trying to flash a machine via the update_flash command, Anton received the
following error:

    Restarting system.
    FLASH: kernel bug...flash list header addr above 4GB

The code in question has a comment that the flash list should be in
the kernel data and therefore under 4GB:

        /* NOTE: the "first" block list is a global var with no data
         * blocks in the kernel data segment.  We do this because
         * we want to ensure this block_list addr is under 4GB.
         */

Unfortunately the Kconfig option is marked tristate which means the variable
may not be in the kernel data and could be above 4GB.

Instead of relying on the data segment being below 4GB, use the static
data buffer allocated by the kernel for use by rtas.  Since we don't
use the header struct directly anymore, convert it to a simple pointer.

kexec_perpare_cpus_wait() iterates i through NR_CPUS to check
paca[i].kexec_state of each to make sure they have quiesced.
However now we have dynamic PACA allocation, paca[NR_CPUS] is not necessarily
valid and we overrun the array;  spurious "cpu is not possible, ignoring"
errors result.  This patch iterates for_each_online_cpu so stays
within the bounds of paca[] -- and every CPU is now 'possible'.

We are seeing boot fails on some System p machines when using the kdump
crashkernel= boot option. The default kdump base address is 32MB, so if we
reserve 256MB for kdump then we reserve all of the RMO except the first 32MB.

We really want kdump to reserve some memory in the RMO and most of it
elsewhere but that will require more significant changes. For now we can shift
the default base address to 64MB when CONFIG_PPC64 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE are
set. This isn't quite correct since what we really care about is the kdump
kernel is relocatable, but we already make the assumption that base kernel
and kdump kernel have the same CONFIG_RELOCATABLE setting, eg:

#ifndef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
        if (crashk_res.start != KDUMP_KERNELBASE)
                printk("Crash kernel location must be 0x%x\n",
                                KDUMP_KERNELBASE);
...

RTAS is instantiated towards the top of our RMO, so if we were to go any
higher we risk not having enough RMO memory for the kdump kernel on boxes
with a 128MB RMO.

  Revert "PCI: create function symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/slots/N/"
  PCI: change resource collision messages from KERN_ERR to KERN_INFO

Yannick found that video does not work with 2.6.34.  The cause of this
bug was that the BIOS had assigned the wrong range to the PCI bridge
above the video device.  Before 2.6.34 the kernel would have shrunk
the size of the bridge window, but since
  d65245c3 PCI: don't shrink bridge resources
the kernel will avoid shrinking BIOS ranges.

So zero out the old range if we fail to claim it at boot time; this will
cause us to allocate a new range at startup, restoring the 2.6.34
behavior.

Add a check to the probe function to avoid oopses like:

If btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy() deletes a snapshot but finishes
with end_transaction(), the cleaner kthread may come in and
drop the root in the same transaction.  If that's the case, the
root's refs still == 1 in the tree when btrfs_del_root() deletes
the item, because commit_fs_roots() hasn't updated it yet (that
happens during the commit).

This wasn't a problem before only because
btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy() would commit the transaction before dropping
the dentry reference, so the dead root wouldn't get queued up until
after the fs root item was updated in the btree.

Since it is not an error to drop the root reference and the root in the
same transaction, just drop the BUG_ON() in btrfs_del_root().

when used Posix File System Test Suite(pjd-fstest) to test btrfs,
some cases about setfacl failed when noacl mount option used.
I simplified used commands in pjd-fstest, and the following steps
can reproduce it.
------------------------
# cd btrfs-part/
# mkdir aaa
# setfacl -m m::rw aaa    <- successed, but not expected by pjd-fstest.
------------------------
I checked ext3, a warning message occured, like as:
  setfacl: aaa/: Operation not supported
Certainly, it's expected by pjd-fstest.

So, i compared acl.c of btrfs and ext3. Based on that, a patch created.
Fortunately, it works.
