Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path
bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways.
* bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then
ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs.
* bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity
data.
This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out
from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as
inline bvecs.
* bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than
bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was
allocated anyway.
* Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in
bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets
there.
* Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how
they're used is more clear.
Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline.

Impact: don't set GFP_DMA in q->bounce_gfp unnecessarily
All DMA address limits are expressed in terms of the last addressable
unit (byte or page) instead of one plus that. However, when
determining bounce_gfp for 64bit machines in blk_queue_bounce_limit(),
it compares the specified limit against 0x100000000UL to determine
whether it's below 4G ending up falsely setting GFP_DMA in
q->bounce_gfp.
As DMA zone is very small on x86_64, this makes larger SG_IO transfers
very eager to trigger OOM killer. Fix it. While at it, rename the
parameter to @dma_mask for clarity and convert comment to proper
winged style.

Impact: fix SG_IO behavior such that it matches the documentation
SG_IO howto says that if ->dxfer_len and sum of iovec disagress, the
shorter one wins. However, the current implementation returns -EINVAL
for such cases. Trim iovc if it's longer than ->dxfer_len.
This patch uses iov_*() helpers which take struct iovec * by casting
struct sg_iovec * to it. sg_iovec is always identical to iovec and
this will be further cleaned up with later patches.

Impact: fix not-so-critical but annoying bug
sg_miter_next() returns 0 sized mapping if there is an zero sized sg
entry in the list or at the end of each iteration. As the users
always check the ->length field, this bug shouldn't be critical other
than causing unnecessary iteration.
Fix it.

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so
that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly
the SHARED_ALIGNED variant.
It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible
without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers
and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Commit a6dc60f897 ("vmscan: rename
sc.may_swap to may_unmap") removed the may_swap flag, but memcg had used
it as a flag for "we need to use swap?", as the name indicate.
And in the current implementation, memcg cannot reclaim mapped file
caches when mem+swap hits the limit.
re-introduce may_swap flag and handle it at get_scan_ratio(). This
patch doesn't influence any scan_control users other than memcg.

Insert PCI root bus resources for the FRV-based MB93090 development kit
motherboard. This is required because the CPU's window onto the PCI bus
address space is considerably smaller than the CPU's full address space
and non-PCI devices lie outside of the PCI window that we might want to
access.
Without this patch, the PCI root bus uses the platform-level bus
resources, and these are then confined to the PCI window, thus making
platform_device_add() reject devices outside of this window.

This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of
spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common
implementation bug.
(As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its
version of this bug. Sigh.)
It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one
device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most
driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.
