Introduce possible_cpus command line option. Hard sets the number of bits set
in cpu_possible_map. Unlike the additional_cpus parameter this one guarantees
that num_possible_cpus() will stay constant even if the system gets rebooted
and a different number of cpus are present at startup.

Introduce additional_cpus command line option. By default no additional cpu
can be attached to the system anymore. Only the cpus present at IPL time can
be switched on/off. If it is desired that additional cpus can be attached to
the system the maximum number of additional cpus needs to be specified with
this option.
This change is necessary in order to limit the waste of per_cpu data
structures.

The boot sequence on s390 sometimes takes ages and we spend a very long
time (up to one or two minutes) in calibrate_migration_costs. The time
spent there differs from boot to boot. Also the calculated costs differ
a lot. I've seen differences by up to a factor of 15 (yes, factor not
percent). Also I doubt that making these measurements make much sense on
a completely virtualized architecture where you cannot tell how much cpu
time you will get anyway.
So introduce the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST method for an architecture
to set the scheduler migration costs. This turns off automatic detection
of migration costs. Makes sense on virtual platforms, where migration
costs are hard to measure accurately.

Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This
deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was
mounted with the "sync" mount option.
The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine,
sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via
lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock
the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops.
The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode()
before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in
ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers
of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.

From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com>
- fixed kernel panic when using EDDP support in Layer 2 mode
- NULL pointer exception in qeth_set_offline fixed.
- setting EDDP in Layer 2 mode did not set NETIF_F_(SG/TSO)
flags when device became online.
- use sscanf for parsing and converting IPv4 addresses
from string to __u8 values.
- qeth_string_to_ipaddr6 fixed. in case of double colon
the converted IPv6 address out from the string was not correct
in previous implementation.

This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many
nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to
do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format
in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the
full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally.
The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit
powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart
from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless
do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing
some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also
exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset
it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't
being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length.
Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a
long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called
from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the
factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code
was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did
adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also
duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that
it was (still) correct.
The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the
current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling
do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one,
we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in
the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and
do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length.
Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always
introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could
see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when
an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear
to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than
from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in
adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can
be fixed up at the next tick.

The memory allocator doesn't like empty zones (which have an
uninitialized freelist), so a x86-64 system with a node fully
in GFP_DMA32 only would crash on mbind.
Fix that up by putting all possible zones as fallback into the zonelist
and skipping the empty ones.
In fact the code always enough allocated space for all zones,
but only used it for the highest. This change just uses all the
memory that was allocated before.
This should work fine for now, but whoever implements node hot removal
needs to fix this somewhere else too (or make sure zone datastructures
by itself never go away, only their memory)

This patch fixes a number of bugs in the authentication process:
1) When falling back to Shared Key authentication mode from Open System,
a missing 'return' would cause the auth request to be sent, but would
drop the card into Management Error state. When falling back, the
driver should also indicate that it is switching to Shared Key mode by
setting exclude_unencrypted.
2) Initial authentication modes were apparently wrong in some cases,
causing the driver to attempt Shared Key authentication mode when in
fact the access point didn't support that mode or even had WEP disabled.
The driver should set the correct initial authentication mode based on
wep_is_on and exclude_unencrypted.
3) Authentication response packets from the access point in Open System
mode were getting ignored because the driver was expecting the sequence
number of a Shared Key mode response. The patch separates the OS and SK
mode handling to provide the correct behavior.
