The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.
To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page
tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to
clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to
correctly copy the shadow.
We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as
they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which
makes shadowing them rather simple.
For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook
point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page,
and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool.
Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also
uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or
released.

It makes more sense to end the stack trace with ULONG_MAX only if
nr_entries < max_entries. Otherwise, we lose one entry in the long stack
traces and cannot know whether the trace was complete or not.

Current mmconfig has some problems of remapped range.
a) In the case of broken MCFG tables on Asus etc., we need to remap 256M
range, but currently only remap 1M.
b) The base address always corresponds to bus number 0, but currently we
are assuming it corresponds to start bus number.
This patch fixes the above problems.
(akpm: Arjan suggests that if the MCFG table is broken we just shouldn't use
it, rather than try to work around things).

It seems that the only way to reliably support mmconfig in the presence of
funky biosen is to detect the hostbridge and read where the window is mapped
from its registers. Do that for the E7520 and the 945G/GZ/P/PL for a start.

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).
On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.
This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

- Removed an extraneous debug message from allocate_cachealigned_map
- Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to return 63 for the case where there was
only one memory node. The prevents the creation of the dynamic hashmap.
- Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to use only the starting memory address of
a node. On an ES7000, our nodes overlap the starting and ending address,
meaning, that we see nodes like
00000 - 10000
10000 - 20000
But other systems have nodes whose start and end addresses do not overlap.
For example:
00000 - 0FFFF
10000 - 1FFFF
In this case, using the ending address will result in an LSB much lower
than what is possible. In this case an LSB of 1 when in reality it should
be 16.

Remove the statically allocated memory to NUMA node hash map in favor of a
dynamically allocated memory to node hash map (it is cache aligned).
This patch has the nice side effect in that it allows the hash map to grow
for systems with large amounts of memory (256GB - 1TB), but suffer from
having small PCI space tacked onto the boot node (which is somewhere
between 192MB to 512MB on the ES7000).

This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining.
This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth
in some case.
The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the
CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little
faster.

This reverts some bogosity from the dynamic command-line
changes made on sparc32 and sparc64.
Drivers such as drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c reference
saved_command_line, and can be modular.
The boot_command_line is __initdata, yet the dynamic command-line
changes add modular exports of that symbol, obviously wrong.

Preallocate bootmem memory for the PS3 frame buffer device, which needs a
large block of physically-contiguous memory. The size of this memory block is
configurable:
- The config option CONFIG_FB_PS3_DEFAULT_SIZE_M allows to specify the
default amount of memory (in MiB) allocated to the virtual frame buffer.
- The early boot parameter `ps3fb=xxx' allows to override the default value.
It will be rounded up to a multiple of 1 MiB, if needed.
