This patch fixes the following link error with xen_domu_defconfig.
Depending on compiler version, it doesn't link as follows.
So remove const and use __initdata for xen_iosapic_ops.

Move down __kernel_syscall_via_epc to the end of the page.
We want to paravirtualize only __kernel_syscall_via_epc because
it includes privileged instructions. Its paravirtualization increases
its symbols size.
On the other hand, each paravirtualized gate must have e symbols of
same value and size to native's because the page is mapped to GATE_ADDR
and GATE_ADDR + PERCPU_PAGE_SIZE and vmlinux is linked to those symbols.
Later to have the same symbol size, we pads NOPs at the end of
__kernel_syscall_via_epc. Move it after other functions to keep
symbols of other functions have same values and sizes.

When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type
"cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct
resource are uninitialized.
Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.
After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.

After TASK_SIZE now gives the current size of the address space the
upgrade of a 64 bit process from 3 to 4 levels of page table needs
to use the arch_mmap_check hook to catch large mmap lengths. The
get_unmapped_area* functions need to check for -ENOMEM from the
arch_get_unmapped_area*, upgrade the page table and retry.

Make page table walking on s390 more robust. The current code requires
that the pgd/pud/pmd/pte loop is only done for address ranges that are
below the end address of the last vma of the address space. But this
is not always true, e.g. the generic page table walker does not guarantee
this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the
address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it
breaks the upgrade of a 3 level page table to a 4 level page table.
To make the upgrade work again another fix is required.

pfn_valid() actually checks for a valid struct page and not for a
valid pfn. Using xip mappings w/o struct pages, this will result in
-EFAULT returned by the (page table walk) user copy functions,
even though there is valid memory. Those user copy functions don't
need a struct page, so this patch just removes the pfn_valid() check.

The implementation of __div64_31 for G5 machines is broken. The comments
in __div64_31 are correct, only the code does not do what the comments
say. The part "If the remainder has overflown subtract base and increase
the quotient" is only partially realized, the base is subtracted correctly
but the quotient is only increased if the dividend had the last bit set.
Using the correct instruction fixes the problem.

Don't boost at the addresses which are listed on exception tables,

Since we now set _PAGE_COHERENT in the Linux PTE we shouldn't be clearing
it out before we setup the SW TLB. Today all the SW TLB machines
(603/e300) that we support are non-SMP, however there are some errata on
some devices that cause us to set _PAGE_COHERENT via CPU_FTR_NEED_COHERENT.

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.
The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).
However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.
So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.
In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)
to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC
calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow
the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.
That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after
programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the
counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.
