<title>powerpc/kvm: Fix VSID usage in 64-bit "PR" KVM</title>

The code forgot to scramble the VSIDs the way we normally do
and was basically using the "proto VSID" directly with the MMU.

This means that in practice, KVM used random VSIDs that could
collide with segments used by other user space programs.

Alignment was the last user of the ENABLE_INTS macro, which we can
now remove. All non-syscall exceptions now disable interrupts on
entry, they get re-enabled conditionally from C code. Don't
unconditionally re-enable in program check either, check the
original context.

<title>powerpc/irqdomain: Fix broken NR_IRQ references</title>

<id>4013369f3782af9a488e37c2b603f1dcf008ea76</id>
<content type='text'>
The switch from using irq_map to irq_alloc_desc*() for managing irq
number allocations introduced new bugs in some of the powerpc
interrupt code.  Several functions rely on the value of NR_IRQS to
determine the maximum irq number that could get allocated.  However,
with sparse_irq and using irq_alloc_desc*() the maximum possible irq
number is now specified with 'nr_irqs' which may be a number larger
than NR_IRQS.  This has caused breakage on powermac when
CONFIG_NR_IRQS is set to 32.

This patch removes most of the direct references to NR_IRQS in the
powerpc code and replaces them with either a nr_irqs reference or by
using the common for_each_irq_desc() macro.  The powerpc-specific
for_each_irq() macro is removed at the same time.

Also, the Cell axon_msi driver is refactored to remove the global
build assumption on the size of NR_IRQS and instead add a limit to the
maximum irq number when calling irq_domain_add_nomap().

This gets rid of the unused default senses array, and replaces the
incorrect use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE with the new IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for
the initial set_trigger() call when mapping an interrupt.

This in turn makes us read the HW state and update the irq desc
accordingly.

Commit ae3a197e (Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC) broke build of
assembly files when CONFIG_BOOKE_WDT is enabled as follows:

/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h: Assembler messages:

/home/baruch/git/stable/arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg_booke.h:20: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `extern'

Since setup_32.c is the only user of the booke_wdt configuration variables, move
the declarations there.

It makes no sense to export this trivial function.  Make it a static inline
instead.

This patch also drops virq_to_hw from arch/c6x since it is unused by that
architecture.

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
 "Short summary for the whole series:

  A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
  design and its implementations for various architectures.  There exist
  more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
  currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
  dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.

  For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
  interchanged.  For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
  (like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
  performance.  Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
  all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
  easily shared between different architectures.  The provided patches
  unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
  existing dma attributes concept.  The thread with more references is
  available here:

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html

  These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
  implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
  dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support.  More
  information is available in the following thread:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819

  More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
  area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
  the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
  "dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").

  The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
  (with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
  will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
  functions."

People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.
