Freeing an AR buffer page just to allocate a new page immediately
afterwards is not only a pointless effort but also dangerous because
the allocation can fail, which would result in an oops later.
Split ar_context_add_page() into two functions so that we can reuse
the old page directly.

When handling an AR buffer that has been completely filled, we assumed
that its descriptor will not be read by the controller and can be
overwritten. However, when the last received packet happens to end at
the end of the buffer, the controller might not yet have moved on to the
next buffer and might read the branch address later. If we overwrite
and free the page before that, the DMA context will either go dead
because of an invalid Z value, or go off into some random memory.
To fix this, ensure that the descriptor does not get overwritten by
using only the actual buffer instead of the entire page for reassembling
the split packet. Furthermore, to avoid freeing the page too early,
move on to the next buffer only when some data in it guarantees that the
controller has moved on.
This should eliminate the remaining firewire-net problems.

When the controller had to split a received asynchronous packet into two
buffers, the driver tries to reassemble it by copying both parts into
the first page. However, if size + rest > PAGE_SIZE, i.e., if the yet
unhandled packets before the split packet, the split packet itself, and
any received packets after the split packet are together larger than one
page, then the memory after the first page would get overwritten.
To fix this, do not try to copy the data of all unhandled packets at
once, but copy the possibly needed data every time when handling
a packet.
This gets rid of most of the infamous crashes and data corruptions when
using firewire-net.

If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all,
blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write()
but the entire guest itself.
To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given
back the virtio ring element we passed it. Instead, send the buffer to
the host and return to userspace. This operation then becomes similar
to how non-blocking writes work, so let's use the existing code for this
path as well.
This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if
there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return
-EAGAIN to userspace.

IOC3 is also being used on SGI MIPS systems but this particular driver is
only being used on IA64 systems so linux-mips made no sense as a list. Pat
also thinks linux-serial@vger.kernel.org is the better list.

When running make clean, Kbuild doesn't process the .config file, so nothing
generates a platform-y variable. We can get it to descend into the platform
directories by setting $(obj-).
The dec Platform file was unconditionally setting platform-, obliterating
its previous contents and preventing some directories from being cleaned.
This is change to an append operation '+=' to allow cavium-octeon to be
cleaned.

kvm reloads the host's fs and gs blindly, however the underlying segment
descriptors may be invalid due to the user modifying the ldt after loading
them.
Fix by using the safe accessors (loadsegment() and load_gs_index()) instead
of home grown unsafe versions.
This is CVE-2010-3698.

This patch reverts the driver to enabling/disabling the NFC interrupt
mask rather than enabling/disabling the system interrupt. This cleans
up the driver so that it doesn't rely on interrupts being disabled
within the interrupt handler.
For i.MX21 we keep the current behaviour, that is calling
enable_irq/disable_irq_nosync to enable/disable interrupts. This patch
is based on earlier work by John Ogness.
