Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.
Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.
Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.

Refactored and cleaned up ucc_fast.c and ucc_slow.c so that the two files
look more alike and are easier to read. Removed uccf_printk() and related
functions, because they were just front-ends to printk(). Fixed some
spacing and tabbing issues. Minor optimizations of some code. Changed
the type of some variables to their proper type (mostly buffer
descriptors).

Add function of_get_mac_address(), which obtains the best MAC address to use
from the device tree by checking various properties in order. The order is:
'mac-address', then 'local-mac-address', then 'address'. It skips properties
that contain invalid MAC addresses, which were probably not initialized
by U-Boot.
Update gfar_of_init() and fs_enet_of_init() in fsl_soc.c to call
of_get_mac_address().

Getting BenH's new EMAC driver working on 440GP, I found some more
problems in the native mode paths of the new DCR code:
- dcr_map() is supposed to return a dcr_host_t, but the native
version is a macro that doesn't expand to an expression. With native
DCRs, dcr_host_t is an empty structure, so we just use a constructor
expression instead.
- dcr_unmap() uses {} instead of the safer do {} while (0)
idiom to implement a no-op
Here's a fix.

This adds driver code for the PMI device found in future IBM products.

Cleanups for the PS3 vuart driver.
- Hide driver private data from external interface with new structure
ps3_vuart_port_priv.
- Fix masking bug in ps3_vuart_get_interrupt_status().
- Add new helper routine ps3_vuart_clear_rx_bytes() to flush rx buffer.
- Add new variable probe_mutex to serialize probe and destroy routines.
- Rename some symbols.
- Add platform check in ps3_vuart_bus_init().

udbg_early_init() is a function used on 64 bit systems, which
initializes whichever early udbg backend is configured. This function
is not called on 32-bit, however if btext early debug is enabled it
does have an explicit, inline, #ifdef-ed assignment performing
analagous initialization.
This patch makes things more uniform by folding the btext
initialization as an option into udbg_early_init() and calling that
from the 32-bit setup path.

This is a clean up patch that includes the following changes:
-Some comments were added to clarify the code based on feedback
from the community.
-The write_pm_cntrl() and set_count_mode() were passed a
structure element from a global variable. The argument was
removed so the functions now just operate on the global directly.
-The set_pm_event() function call in the cell_virtual_cntr()
routine was moved to a for-loop before the for_each_cpu loop

The recent vDSO consolidation patches broke powerpc due to a mistake
in the definition of MAXPAGES constants. This fixes it by moving to
a dynamically allocated array of pages instead as I don't like much
hard coded size limits. Also move the vdso initialisation to an initcall
since it doesn't really need to be done -that- early.
Applogies for not catching the breakage earlier, Roland _did_ CC me on
his patches a while ago, I got busy with other things and forgot to test
them.

During ppc64+ppc merge virtual DMA code for floppy driver was not
ported. This patch restores virtual DMA support for floppy in new
powerpc target.
It is necessary at least on Pegasos and AmigaOne machines for the
floppy drive to function. ISA DMA controller works incorrectly there
due to its addressing limitations.
Virtual DMA mode is activated by floppy=nodma option passed to the
kernel (or module). There's no automatic switch like on i386.

Add the PS3 Virtual Frame Buffer Driver.
As the actual graphics hardware cannot be accessed directly by Linux, ps3fb
uses a virtual frame buffer in main memory. The actual screen image is copied
to graphics memory by the GPU on every vertical blank, by making a hypervisor
call.

Preallocate bootmem memory for the PS3 frame buffer device, which needs a
large block of physically-contiguous memory. The size of this memory block is
configurable:
- The config option CONFIG_FB_PS3_DEFAULT_SIZE_M allows to specify the
default amount of memory (in MiB) allocated to the virtual frame buffer.
- The early boot parameter `ps3fb=xxx' allows to override the default value.
It will be rounded up to a multiple of 1 MiB, if needed.

The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture
individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in
asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be
architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios
structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h
anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.
Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case
there are plans to use them yet.
