Absolute alignment requirements may never be applied to node-relative
offsets. Andreas Herrmann spotted this flaw when a bootmem allocation on
an unaligned node was itself not aligned because the combination of an
unaligned node with an aligned offset into that node is not garuanteed to
be aligned itself.
This patch introduces two helper functions that align a node-relative
index or offset with respect to the node's starting address so that the
absolute PFN or virtual address that results from combining the two
satisfies the requested alignment.
Then all the broken ALIGN()s in alloc_bootmem_core() are replaced by these
helpers.

With commit 5ad31a5751 ("rtc: remove BKL
for ioctl()"), RTC_UIE_ON ioctl cause double lock on rtc->ops_lock.
The ops_lock must not be held while set_uie() calls rtc_read_time()
which takes the lock. Also clear_uie() does not need ops_lock. This
patch fixes return value of RTC_UIE_OFF ioctl too.

In case the binfmt_misc binary handler is registered *before* the e.g.
script one (when for example being compiled as a module) the following
situation may occur:
1. user launches a script, whose interpreter is a misc binary;
2. the load_misc_binary sets the misc_bang and returns -ENOEVEC,
since the binary is a script;
3. the load_script_binary loads one and calls for search_binary_hander
to run the interpreter;
4. the load_misc_binary is called again, but refuses to load the
binary due to misc_bang bit set.
The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual
call to the search_binary_handler.
Caused by the commit 3a2e7f47 (binfmt_misc.c: avoid potential kernel
stack overflow)

The name of brd block device is "ramdisk", it's not "brd".
(The block device is registered by register_blkdev(RAMDISK_MAJOR, "ramdisk")
So it should be unregistered by unregister_blkdev(RAMDISK_MAJOR, "ramdisk")

mminit_loglevel is now used from mminit_verify_zonelist <- build_all_zonelists <-
1. online_pages <- memory_block_action <- memory_block_change_state <- store_mem_state (sys handler)
2. numa_zonelist_order_handler (proc handler)
so it cannot be annotated __meminit - drop it
fixes following section mismatch warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x71628): Section mismatch in reference from the function mminit_verify_zonelist() to the variable .meminit.data:mminit_loglevel
The function mminit_verify_zonelist() references
the variable __meminitdata mminit_loglevel.
This is often because mminit_verify_zonelist lacks a __meminitdata
annotation or the annotation of mminit_loglevel is wrong.

Adjust <Alt><SysRq>m show_swap_cache_info() to show "Free swap" as a
signed long: the signed format is preferable, because during swapoff
nr_swap_pages can legitimately go negative, so makes more sense thus
(it used to be shown redundantly, once as signed and once as unsigned).

Add a comment to s390's page_test_dirty/page_clear_dirty/page_set_dirty
dance in page_remove_rmap(): I was wrong to think the PageSwapCache test
could be avoided, and would like a comment in there to remind me. And
mention s390, to help us remember that this block is not really common.
Also move down the "It would be tidy to reset PageAnon" comment: it does
not belong to s390's block, and it would be unwise to reset PageAnon
before we're done with testing it.

I won't say 'fix', because they still look broken, although this will at
least allow 'make ARCH=CRIS headers_install' to _complete_.
For headers which are exported, we should probably choose between
asm/arch-v10 and asm/arch-v32 by something that GCC defines -- we can't
rely on a generated symlink. And we certainly can't export an arch/
directory which doesn't even exist.
And the only thing that we seem to include from the arch/ directory is
<asm/arch/ptrace.h> from <asm/ptrace.h> ... and that isn't exported in
either arch-v10 or arch-v32 _anyway_.
