If the backing_dev_info doesn't have BDI_CAP_NO_WRITEBACK we're not supposed
to write back an inode's pages. But in this situation write_inode_now()
refuses to write the inode itself as well. Fix.

Andrew Morton suggested to move kprobes from kernel hacking menu, since
kernel hacking menu is in-appropriate for the Kprobes. This patch moves
Kprobes and Oprofile under instrumentation menu.
(akpm: it's not a natural fit, but things like djprobes and the s390 guys'
statistics library need a home)

Access to FBA disks via DIAG fails for block sizes > 512 byte. The device
analysis code of the DIAG discipline does not properly initialize the DIAG250
device environment after completion of the analysis. This results in VM only
serving 512 bytes per block I/O request whereas Linux expects larger block
sizes. Add proper device environment setup to end of analysis code.

Remove pagex pseudo page fault code. It does not work together with the
system call speedup that makes the complete system call path enabled for
interrupts. To make pagex and the syscall speedup code work together we would
have to add code to the program check handler to do a critical section cleanup
like the asynchronous interrupt code. This would make program checks slower.
Not what we want.
Newer versions of z/VM have the improved pfault pseudo page fault interface.
This replaces the old pagex interface and does not have the problem. So its
better to just rip out the pagex code.

This patch reverts back the changes to HOSTCFLAGS and HOSTLDFLAGS
When we were building complete binaries to get constants (such as ptrace
register layout on stack) from host userspace headers, we needed to make the
arch for building HOST binaries match our one: i.e. on a 64bit system
compiling 32bit binaries, we compile 32-bit hostprogs and need, say, 32-bit
ncurses. Now we can revert that - that avoids problem with, say, menuconfig
and ncurses, on a system which can't compile well 32-bit programs.

Remove usage of hardcoded constants in paging_init().
By chance I spotted a bug in zones_setup involving a change to ZONE_*
constants, due to the ZONE_DMA32 patch from Andi Kleen (which is in -mm).
So, possibly, instead of zones_size[2] you will find zones_size[3] in the
code, but that change is wrong and this patch is still correct.

Patch imlements full LDT handling in SKAS:
* UML holds it's own LDT table, used to deliver data on
modify_ldt(READ)
* UML disables the default_ldt, inherited from the host (SKAS3)
or resets LDT entries, set by host's clib and inherited in
SKAS0
* A new global variable skas_needs_stub is inserted, that
can be used to decide, whether stub-pages must be supported
or not.
* Uses the syscall-stub to replace missing PTRACE_LDT (therefore,
write_ldt_entry needs to be modified)

Not quite, something along the lines of the patch below works correctly (and
makes aio performance not suffer from multiple second delays), as skas0 mode
correctly switches mm contexts, unlike TT (which should probably get nuked
from the kernel now that skas0 seems to be working).
