This addresses the recent ATI SB600 errata, where the hardware does
not like 256-length PRD entries during FPDMA (aka NCQ).
It hurts performance on SB600, but it is more important to get a
correct patch eliminating the data corruption/lockups, and then later
on tune for performance.
We simply limit each command to a maximum of 255 sectors, on SB600.

/sys/firmware/reipl/nss/name contains the nss name when defsys or
savesys command has been executed. If the defsys or savesys command
fails the kernel_nss_name has to be cleared since a reipl on that
nss name won't be possible.

IPL from NSS didn't work because the memory detection routine omits any
memory sections with a size lower than what MAX_ORDER defines.
This causes the detection routine to skip the first memory segment which
has a size of 1MB. Which later on will let the kernel think that there
is no memory available at all.
Since in addition the z/VM memory increment size is 1MB force MAX_ORDER
to be 9, so we can support 1MB segments.

In ap_device_probe() we can add the new ap device to the internal
device list only if the device probe function successfully returns.
Otherwise we might end up with an invalid device in the internal ap
device list.

Currently an output buffer can wait up to HZ/2 until the buffer is
flushed. The wait time is noticeable in interactive tools like mc.
Change the value to HZ/20, which seems enough for interactive work.

Using the /proc/dasd/devices interface leaves the reference counter
of alias devices in an inconsistent state. A process that tries to set
such a device offline afterwards will hang.
The dasd_devices_show function returns immediately for alias devices
and this code path was missing a dasd_put_device call.

When a request fails that was started on an alias device then the
first recovery step is to retry it on the base device. If the
recovery request fails again with the same symptoms, the next step
should not be a simple retry, but should be a proper recovery based
on sense data, etc. To do so, the dasd recovery functions need to
recognize the alias recovery step in the erp chain by comparing
the start devices.

If a machine check handling is pending when the idle loop is entered
default_idle will be left with timer ticks and virtual timer disabled.
Fix this by "calling" the idle_chain. Also a BUG_ON(!in_interrupt) in
start_hz_timer must be removed since the function now gets called from
non interrupt context as well.

Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler:
This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers
(i.e. in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents
of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients.
Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'. These DHCP servers ignore Linux
kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
'255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
'dhclient' or 'udhcpc'). This leads to a not booting system.
