This fixes DMA on architectures where DMA is nontrivial, like PPC64.
We must use the host-device's (PCI) struct device for any DMA
operation instead of the SSB device. For this we add a new
struct device pointer to the SSB device structure that will always
point to the right device for DMAing.
Without this patch b43 and b44 drivers won't work on complex-DMA
architectures, that for example need dev->archdata for DMA operations.

struct ipv6_opt_hdr is the common structure for IPv6 extension
headers, and it is common to increment the pointer to get
the real content. On the other hand, since the structure
consists only of 1-byte next-header field and 1-byte length
field, size of that structure depends on architecture; 2 or 4.
Add "packed" attribute to get 2.

When receiving an error length INIT-ACK during COOKIE-WAIT,
a 0-vtag ABORT will be responsed. This action violates the
protocol apparently. This patch achieves the following things.
1 If the INIT-ACK contains all the fixed parameters, use init-tag
recorded from INIT-ACK as vtag.
2 If the INIT-ACK doesn't contain all the fixed parameters,
just reflect its vtag.

This fixes Bugzilla #10384
tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.
The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.
More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.
So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

A nasty compile error:
In file included from security/keys/internal.h:16,
from security/keys/sysctl.c:14:
include/linux/key-ui.h: In function 'key_permission':
include/linux/key-ui.h:51: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct task_struct'
apparently the compiler has decided that it needs to know sizeof(task_struct)
so that it can add zero to a task_struct* (which is rather dumb of it).
Getting task_struct in scope in these deeply-nested headers is scary-looking,
so let's just remove the "+ 0".

Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install,
because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h. This problem
was introduced by
commit fb56dbb31c4738a3918db81fd24da732ce3b4ae6
Author: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
Date: Sun Dec 2 10:50:06 2007 +0200
KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM
Currently, make headers_check barfs due to <asm/kvm.h>, which <linux/kvm.h>
includes, not existing. Rather than add a zillion <asm/kvm.h>s, export kvm.
only if the arch actually supports it.

which makes this an 2.6.25 regression.
One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced
me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go. This patch changes
the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y.
If unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all
architectures without asm/kvm.h. Therefore, this patch also provides
asm/kvm.h on all architectures.

Work around the CPU clock miscalculation on Au1000DA/HA/HB due the
sys_cpupll register being write-only, i.e. actually do what the comment
before cal_r4off() function advertised for years but the code failed at.
This is achieved by just giving user a chance to define the clock
explicitly in the board config. via CONFIG_SOC_AU1000_FREQUENCY option,
defaulting to 396 MHz if the option is not given...

The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner
header in the payload to be protected. This causes a crash as
the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second
header.
The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes
to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an
inner IPv4 header.
This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output
function touches the inner header at all. All access is now
done through the protocol-independent cb structure. Two new
attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length
and the IPv4 option length. They're filled in by the inner
mode's output function.

fix the 3D performance drop reported at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328
fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.
The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.
We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

The unlazy_fpu() path calls in to save_fpu() if the task has
TIF_USEDFPU set. save_fpu() being the crap API that it is has the side

Presently with preempt enabled there's the possibility to be preempted
after the TIF_USEDFPU test and the register save, leading to bogus
state post-__switch_to(). Use an explicit preempt_disable()/enable()
pair around unlazy_fpu()/clear_fpu() to avoid this. Follows the x86

add_timer_on() can add a timer on a CPU which is currently in a long
idle sleep, but the timer wheel is not reevaluated by the nohz code on
that CPU. So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This
triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code.
To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the
reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event.
Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the
idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the
other CPU of the change in the timer wheel.
Call this function from add_timer_on().
