This assertion is incorrect for lockless pagecache. By definition if we
have an unpinned page that we are trying to take a speculative reference
to, it may become the tail of a compound page at any time (if it is
freed, then reallocated as a compound page).
It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but
it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can
put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.

This enables the use of syscall wrappers to do proper sign extension

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
By selecting HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS architectures can activate
system call wrappers in order to sign extend system call arguments.
All architectures where the ABI defines that the caller of a function
has to perform sign extension probably need this.

Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all
converted types should have the same size anyway.
With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't
matter since the system call doesn't return.

Impact: cleanup
Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer.
Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible
memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts.
No fuctionality change in this patch.

virt_to_page() call should not be used on kernel text and data
addresses. virt_to_page() is used by sg_init_one(). So change padbuf
to be allocated within iscsi_segment.

reorder struct xt_match to remove 8 bytes of padding and make its size
128 bytes.
This saves a small amount of data space in each of the xt netfilter
modules and fits xt_match in one 128 byte cache line.

The recent dmaengine rework removed the capability to remove dma device
driver modules while net_dma is active. Rather than notify
dmaengine-clients that channels are trying to be removed, we now rely on
clients to notify dmaengine when they no longer have a need for
channels. Teach net_dma to release channels by taking dmaengine
references at netdevice open and dropping references at netdevice close.

As well, escape the colon in the field's text description, as it is
causing the generated text to be erraticly broken up (with paragraphs
moved down). Could not find a reason why it is happening so, even when
other field descriptions use colons and work as expected.

If you do
smp_call_function_single(expression-with-side-effects, ...)
then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds.
As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do.
While we're there, uninline it for size and possible header dependency
reasons.
And create a new kernel/up.c, as a place in which to put
uniprocessor-specific code and storage. It should mirror kernel/smp.c.
