make_all_cpus_request contains a race condition which can
trigger false request completed status, as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
if (test_and_set_bit(req,&vcpu->requests))
.... if (test_and_set_bit(req,&vcpu->requests))
.. return
proceed to smp_call_function_many(wait=1)
Use a spinlock to serialize concurrent CPUs.

This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.
The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.
[ SuSE has been shipping it for a while, it was done at the
request of a large database vendor, for their users. ]

This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS
pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation
effectively invokes sys_fallocate for the new ioctls.
Also handles the compat_ioctl case.
Note: These legacy ioctls are also implemented by OCFS2.

When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.
So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.
In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

There are some broken devices that report multiple DMA xfer modes
enabled at once (ATA spec doesn't allow it) but otherwise work fine
with DMA so just delete ide_id_dma_bug().
[ As discovered by detective work by Frans and Bart, due to how
handling of the ID block was handled before commit c419993
("ide-iops: only clear DMA words on setting DMA mode") this
check was always seeing zeros in the fields or other similar
garbage. Therefore this check wasn't actually checking anything.
Now that the tests actually check the real bits, all we see are
devices that trigger the check yet work perfectly fine, therefore
killing this useless check is the best thing to do. -DaveM ]
