Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.
The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).
For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't
consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
change the zlib_deflate code.
Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
work.
This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real
world file read speed improvement.
This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the
zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

In some systems we may have both a platform EHCI controller and PCI EHCI
controller. Previously we couldn't build the EHCI support as a module due
to conflicting module_init() calls in the code.

Hi,
this patch brings the CPCI405 board support up to date and fixes several
outstanding issues:
-add bios_fixup()
-enable RTC only when CONFIG_GEN_RTC defined
-corrected CompactPCI interrupt map
-added cpci405_early_serial_map for correct UART clocking
-removed unused code

A typo crept in with commit ea1e847cc2
which defined TI_LOCAL_FLAGS to be the offset of the `flags' field
of struct thread_info, rather than the `local_flags' field. This
fixes it. The typo was pointed out by Guennadi Liakhovetski.

This fixes various odd things that missed update together with cpm_uart
platform_device move. Unified resources names, restructurisation, etc.
Also, addressed issue with recent phys/virt translation rework. Being
cache-coherent, CPM2's do alloc_bootmem() for the console stuff, and it was
used to treat console buffer descriptor mapping 1:1 (as in CPM1 case),
which is definitely wrong.

There already exists a big endian safe bitops implementation in
lib/find_next_bit.c. The code in it is 90%+ common with the powerpc
specific version, so the powerpc version is redundant. This patch
makes the necessary changes to use the generic bitops in powerpc, and
removes the powerpc specific version.

A number of small issues are fixed, and added the header file, missed from the

Using a relative path has the advantage that when the kernel source
tree is moved the relevant .o files will not be rebuild just because
the path to the kernel src has changed.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.
