Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:
A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.
For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee44
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").
The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."
People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.

Commit d065bd810b
(mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer) and
commit 37b23e0525
(x86,mm: make pagefault killable)
The above commits introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.
These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.
Port these changes to MIPS.
Without these changes, my MIPS board encounters many hang and livelock
scenarios.
After applying this patch, OOM feature performance improves according to
my testing.

Add support for Netlogic's XLP MIPS SoC. This patch adds:
* XLP processor ID in cpu_probe.c and asm/cpu.h
* XLP case to asm/module.h
* CPU_XLP case to mm/tlbex.c
* minor change to r4k cache handling to ignore XLP secondary cache
* XLP cpu overrides to mach-netlogic/cpu-feature-overrides.h

This patch addresses a couple of related problems:
1) The kernel may reside in physical memory outside of the ranges set
by plat_mem_setup(). If this is the case, init mem cannot be
reused as it resides outside of the range of pages that the kernel
memory allocators control.
2) initrd images might be loaded in physical memory outside of the
ranges set by plat_mem_setup(). The memory likewise cannot be
reused. The patch doesn't handle this specific case, but the
infrastructure is useful for future patches that do.
The crux of the problem is that there are memory regions that need be
memory_present(), but that cannot be free_bootmem() at the time of
arch_mem_init(). We create a new type of memory (BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM)
for use with add_memory_region(). Then arch_mem_init() adds the init
mem with this type if the init mem is not already covered by existing
ranges.
When memory is being freed into the bootmem allocator, we skip the
BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM ranges so they are not clobbered, but we do signal
them as memory_present(). This way when they are later freed, the
necessary memory manager structures have initialized and the Sparse
allocater is prevented from crashing.
The Octeon specific code that handled this case is removed, because
the new general purpose code handles the case.

Gup is used in a few cases, say futex.
This work is derived from the x86 version, and operations of pte and pmd are
adapted to the defines of MIPS in straight forward manner.

Panic() invokes printk() to add a \n internally, so panic arguments should
not themselves end in \n. Panic invocations in arch/mips and elsewhere
are inconsistently sometimes terminating in \n, sometimes not.

Until now flush_kernel_vmap_range() and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range() did
not exist on MIPS resulting in heavy cache corruption on XFS filesystems.
Left for the post-3.0 time: optimization and make this work with highmem,
too. Since the combination of highmem + cache aliases atm doesn't work
this isn't a regression.

Only some GCC versions such as gcc 4.2 notice that the variable wr in
build_r3000_tlb_modify_handler is used uninitialized. When using one
of those GCCs the build will fail due to -Werror. GCC 4.6 does not
warn about the uninitialized use of wr.
