fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.
Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
a) to support fallocate() system call
b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

Add function helper, fb_is_primary_device(). Given struct fb_info, it will
return a nonzero value if the device is the primary display.
Currently, only the i386 is supported where the function checks for the
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.
Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.

I'm not sure if this is going to fly, weak symbols work on the compilers I'm

When the refcount for a device node goes to 0, we call the
destructor - of_node_release(). This should only happen if we've
already detached the node from the device tree.
So add a flag OF_DETACHED which tracks detached-ness, and if we
find ourselves in of_node_release() without it set, issue a
warning and don't free the device_node. To avoid warning
continuously reinitialise the kref to a sane value.

Adds support for PowerQuicc on-chip PCMCIA. The driver is implemented as
of_device, so only arch/powerpc stuff is capable to use it, which now implies
only mpc885ads reference board.
To cope with the code that should be hooked inside driver, but is really board
specific (like set_voltage), global structure mpc8xx_pcmcia_ops holds
necessary function pointers that are filled in the BSP code.

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.
Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.
Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

Currently iSeries will recalibrate the cputime_factors in the first
settimeofday() call.
It seems the reason for doing this is to ensure a resaonable time delta after
time_init(). On current kernels (with udev), this call is made 40-60 seconds
into the boot process, by moving it to a late initcall it is called
approximately 5 seconds after time_init() is called. This is sufficient to
recalibrate the timebase.

On Power machines supporting VRMA, Kexec/Kdump does not work.
VRMA (virtual real-mode area) means that accesses with IR/DR = 0
(i.e. the MMU "off") actually still go through the hash table,
using entries put there by the hypervisor.
This means that when we clear out the hash table on kexec, we need to
make sure these entries are left untouched.
This also adds plpar_pte_read_raw() on the lines of
plpar_pte_remove_raw().
