The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace
consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it.
Switch them to the common helpers.
Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify
the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface. We don't need the request argument
now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error
returns. It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines
that do one thing well now.

This patch moves the rtc_interrupt() prototype to rtc.h and removes the
prototypes from C files.
It also renames static rtc_interrupt() functions in
arch/arm/mach-integrator/time.c and arch/sh64/kernel/time.c to avoid compile
problems.

Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels. For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
on the device.
Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:
err = request_irq(irq, ...);
set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);
However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
(for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.
Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
the type prior to unmasking the interrupt. The unfortunate problem is that in
order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.
Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like. The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures
and avoid false sharing. It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find
L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless.
However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align
structures on the internode cacheline size. As per Andi's suggestion,
following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces
INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches.
Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define
INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h. Patch replaces
____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp
With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed

(2) Recurse in the correct manner in the arch makefile.
(3) asm/bug.h requires asm/linkage.h to be included first. One C file puts
asm/bug.h first.
(4) Add an empty RTC header file to avoid missing header file errors.
(5) sg_dma_address() should use the dma_address member of a scatter list.
(6) Add trivial pci_unmap support.
(7) Add pgprot_noncached()
(8) Discard u_quad_t.
(9) Use ~0UL rather than ULONG_MAX in unistd.h in case the latter isn't
declared.

sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration
This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may
have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.
sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul
Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide
to manually control the migration.
This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides
a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
implementation.
The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available
then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all
pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.
Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.
