1. Nontemporal store for spin unlock.
A nontemporal store will not update the LRU setting for the cacheline. The
cacheline with the lock may therefore be evicted faster from the cpu
caches. Doing so may be useful since it increases the chance that the
exclusive cache line has been evicted when another cpu is trying to
acquire the lock.
The time between dropping and reacquiring a lock on the same cpu is
typically very small so the danger of the cacheline being
evicted is negligible.
2. Avoid semaphore operation in write_unlock and use nontemporal store
write_lock uses a cmpxchg like the regular spin_lock but write_unlock uses
clear_bit which requires a load and then a loop over a cmpxchg. The
following patch makes write_unlock simply use a nontemporal store to clear
the highest 8 bits. We will then still have the lower 3 bytes (24 bits)
left to count the readers.
Doing the byte store will reduce the number of possible readers from 2^31
to 2^24 = 16 million.
These patches were discussed already:

The nontemporal stores will only work using GCC. If a compiler is used
that does not support inline asm then fallback C code is used. This
will preserve the byte store but not be able to do the nontemporal stores.

Patch from Ben Dooks
Rename the s3c2410_report_oc() to s3c2410_usb_report_oc()
as this is an usb specific function.
Change port power on the usb-simtec implementation to only
power up the output if both are set, as per the usb 1.1
specification

Unfortunately, we can't use the "user" bit in the page tables to
control whether a page table entry is "global" or "asid" specific,
since the vector page is mapped as "user" accessible but is not
process specific.
Therefore, give direct control of the ARMv6 "nG" (not global)
bit to the mm layers.

Revert commit fec59a711e, which is
breaking sparc64 that doesn't have a working pci_update_resource.
We'll re-do this after 2.6.13 when we'll do it all properly.
We have some nasty issues with 2.6.12-rc6. Any request to scan on
the lpfc or qla2xxx FC adapters will oops. What is happening is the
system is defaulting to non-transport registered targets, which
inherit the parent of the scan. On this second scan, performed by
the attribute, the parent becomes the shost instead of the rport.
The slave functions in the 2 FC adapters use starget_to_rport()
routines, which incorrectly map the shost as an rport pointer.
Additionally, this pointed out other weaknesses:
- If the target structure is torn down outside of the transport,
we have no method for it to be regenerated at the proper parent.
- We have race conditions on the target being allocated by both
the midlayer scan (parent=shost) and by the fc transport
(parent=rport).
