Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the
maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB.
So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use
the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size
to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations.
For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large
kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of
memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically
sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past)
Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to
MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the
number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct
grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future
issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support.
CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it.
It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

I'm getting zillions of undefined references to __kmalloc_size_too_large on
alpha. For some reason alpha is building out-of-line copies of kmalloc_slab()
into lots of compilation units.
It turns out that gcc just isn't smart enough to work out that
__builtin_contant_p(size)==true implies that __builtin_contant_p(index)==true.
So let's give it a bit of help.

There is no user of destructors left. There is no reason why we should keep
checking for destructors calls in the slab allocators.
The RFC for this patch was discussed at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117882364330705&w=2
Destructors were mainly used for list management which required them to take a
spinlock. Taking a spinlock in a destructor is a bit risky since the slab
allocators may run the destructors anytime they decide a slab is no longer
needed.
Patch drops destructor support. Any attempt to use a destructor will BUG().

Our assumption that most distros issue STANDBYNOW seems wrong. The
upstream sysvinit and thus many distros including gentoo and opensuse
don't take any action for libata disks on spindown. We can skip
compat handling for these distros so that they don't need to update
anything to take advantage of kernel-side shutdown.

Whether a controller needs IDE or SATA ACPI hierarchy is determined by
the programming interface of the controller not by whether the
controller is SATA or PATA, or it supports slave device or not. This
patch adds ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA port flags which tells libata-acpi that
the port needs SATA ACPI nodes, and sets the flag for ahci and
sata_sil24.

Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or
(later) ACPI _GTF. Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors
before turning off HPA. The cached original size is overwritten if
the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always
happens after configuring trasnfer mode. If the device gets hardreset
for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV.
This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check
from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is
fully configured. No matter what happens during configuration, a
device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be
treated as the same device.

now it is possible to add missing checks to ide_tune_dma() and remove
ide_use_dma() completely, so do it.
There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch.

lib/ioremap.c is presently only built in if CONFIG_MMU is set. While this
is reasonable, platforms that support both CONFIG_MMU=y or n need to be
able to call in to this regardless.
As none of the current nommu platforms do anything special with ioremap(),
we assume that it's always successful.
This fixes the SH-4 build with CONFIG_MMU=n.

Besides those modes in ATI SB600 SATA controller, ATI SB700 supports one
more mode:the combined mode.
The combined mode is a Legacy IDE mode used for compatibility with some old
OS without AHCI driver, but now it is not necessary for Linux since the
kernel has supported AHCI.
