o Relocatable bzImage support had got rid of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option
thinking that now this option is not required as people can build a
second kernel as relocatable and load it anywhere. So need of compiling
the kernel for a custom address was gone. But Magnus uses vmlinux images
for second kernel in Xen environment and he wants to continue to use
it.
o Restoring the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option for the time being. I think
down the line we can get rid of it.

In the kernels later than 2.6.19 there is a regression that makes swsusp
fail if the resume device is not explicitly specified.
It can be fixed by adding an additional parameter to
mm/swapfile.c:swap_type_of() allowing us to pass the (struct block_device
*) corresponding to the first available swap back to the caller.

The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under
the following circumstances:
- if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear,
or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction). Userspace can check rflags,
but the other cases or not testable under the current API.
- if injection fails because of a fault during delivery. This probably
never happens under normal guests.
- if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that
it can be handled by the host.
In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing
the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest.
This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit
when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt
at the right time. Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project
which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic
number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field
of the fsinfo structure on Linux:
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html
Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number
and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.

Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what
it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are
(from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads.
Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from
"undefined" to "will shift zeroes". This lets protocol drivers (like the
ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior. It's what most controller drivers
in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver
wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing,
and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to
define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels.
This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and
updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug. Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the
following recent commit does:
commit 30e25b71e7
Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
Date: Fri Dec 8 02:36:24 2006 -0800
[PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message
A warning is a warning, not a BUG.
( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
signals a kernel bug. )
i and others objected to this change during lkml review:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2
still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)
Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.

Since iop13xx defines the PCI I/O spaces with physical resource addresses
the __io macro needs to perform the physical to virtual conversion. I
incorrectly assumed that this would be handled by ioremap, but drivers
(like e1000) directly dereference the address returned from __io.

The ARM EABI requires doubleword (8-byte) stack alignment at all public entry
points. The patch below makes the bFLT loader honour this.
It's always safe to start with a doubleword aligned stack so it doesn't seem
worth making this conditional on CONFIG_AEABI.

As reminded in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/23/26, one should use
asm/hardware.h and asm/irq.h but absent-minded devs like me tends to use
asm/arch/hardware.h and/or asm/arch/irqs.h.
This patch aims at preventing such things.
In order to make it work, I had to modify asm-arm/irq.h too so that it can
be included from assembly files.
Also, as a side effect, I had to modify some headers who were using the
asm/arch/hardware.h or asm/arch/irqs.h.
