Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing
the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument
of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored.
Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t
argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA
implementation of pci_alloc_coherent().
This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver
layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these
routines and (correctly) expects that to work.

Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.
SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

Fix some outstanding issues with the pxa2xx_spi driver when running on a
PXA270:
- Wrong timeout calculation in the setup function due to different
peripheral clock rates in the PXAxxx family.
- Bad handling of SSSR_TFS interrupts in interrupt_transfer function.
- Added locking to interface between the pump_messages workqueue and the
pump_transfers tasklet.
Much thanks to Juergen Beisert for the extensive testing on the PXA270.

When performing bound checks during the parameter processing, we
want to use the real chunk and paramter lengths for bounds instead
of the rounded ones. This prevents us from potentially walking of
the end if the chunk length was miscalculated. We still use rounded
lengths when advancing the pointer. This was found during a
conformance test that changed the chunk length without modifying
parameters.

Some protocols (like one for some bitmap displays) require different clock
speed or word size settings for each transfer in an SPI message. This adds
those parameters to struct spi_transfer. They are to be used when they are
nonzero; otherwise the defaults from spi_device are to be used.
The patch also adds a setup_transfer callback to spi_bitbang, uses it for
messages that use those overrides, and implements it so that the pure
bitbanging code can help resolve any questions about how it should work.

can_share_swap_page() is used to check if the page has the last reference.
This avoids allocating a new page for COW if it's the last page.
However, if CONFIG_SWAP is not set, can_share_swap_page() is defined as 0,
thus always causes a copy for the last COW page. The below simple patch
fixes it.

Even since a previous patch:
Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe
The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.
symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course.
This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

The classical IP over ATM code maintains its own IPv4 <-> <ATM stuff>
ARP table, using the standard neighbour-table code. The
neigh_table_init function adds this neighbour table to a linked list
of all neighbor tables which is used by the functions neigh_delete()
neigh_add() and neightbl_set(), all called by the netlink code.
Once the ATM neighbour table is added to the list, there are two
tables with family == AF_INET there, and ARP entries sent via netlink
go into the first table with matching family. This is indeterminate
and often wrong.
To see the bug, on a kernel with CLIP enabled, create a standard IPv4
ARP entry by pinging an unused address on a local subnet. Then attempt
to complete that entry by doing
ip neigh replace <ip address> lladdr <some mac address> nud reachable
Looking at the ARP tables by using
ip neigh show
will reveal two ARP entries for the same address. One of these can be
found in /proc/net/arp, and the other in /proc/net/atm/arp.
This patch adds a new function, neigh_table_init_no_netlink() which
does everything the neigh_table_init() does, except add the table to
the netlink all-arp-tables chain. In addition neigh_table_init() has a
check that all tables on the chain have a distinct address family.
The init call in clip.c is changed to call
neigh_table_init_no_netlink().
Since ATM ARP tables are rather more complicated than can currently be
handled by the available rtattrs in the netlink protocol, no
functionality is lost by this patch, and non-ATM ARP manipulation via
netlink is rescued. A more complete solution would involve a rtattr
for ATM ARP entries and some way for the netlink code to give
neigh_add and friends more information than just address family with
which to find the correct ARP table.
[ I've changed the assertion checking in neigh_table_init() to not
use BUG_ON() while holding neigh_tbl_lock. Instead we remember that
we found an existing tbl with the same family, and after dropping
the lock we'll give a diagnostic kernel log message and a stack dump.

Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch
Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB
The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the
temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region.
EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the
bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable.
If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA
in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap
is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.
AK: I redid the original patch. Thanks also to Jan Beulich for
spotting some mistakes.

The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.
