To handle the large physical addresses, just make a simple wrapper
around remap_pfn_range() like MIPS does.

Building an allyesconfig doesn't reveal a hidden need
for any of these.  Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen
sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden.

<title>compat: sync compat_stats with statfs.</title>

This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
since decemeber.

- This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
  were cleared on mips and s390.
- Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
- Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
- Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
  to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
  On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
  architectures f_spare only has 4 ints.  Which makes
  the previous technique of clearing each int individually
  broken.

I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
the compat and the native version working the same.

The LEON MMU Model (SRMMU) does not implement MMu Table probing
in hardware, instead it is implemented in software. However the
software implementation does not return the PTE as it should which
always results in INVALID entires and the PROM mappings are not
inherited as they should during startup. The following patch
removes the masking of the PTE.

Recognize T4 and T5 chips.  Treating them both as "T2 plus other
stuff" should be extremely safe and make sure distributions will work
when those chips actually ship to customers.

If we can't push the pending register windows onto the user's stack,
we disallow signal delivery even if the signal would be delivered on a
valid seperate signal stack.

Add a register window save area in the signal frame, and store any
unsavable windows there.

On sigreturn, if any windows are still queued up in the signal frame,
try to push them back onto the stack and if that fails we kill the
process immediately.

This allows the debug/tst-longjmp_chk2 glibc test case to pass.

<title>sparc32: unbreak arch_write_unlock()</title>

The sparc32 version of arch_write_unlock() is just a plain assignment.
Unfortunately this allows the compiler to schedule side-effects in a
protected region to occur after the HW-level unlock, which is broken.
E.g., the following trivial test case gets miscompiled:

	#include &lt;linux/spinlock.h&gt;
	rwlock_t lock;
	int counter;
	void foo(void) { write_lock(&amp;lock); ++counter; write_unlock(&amp;lock); }

Fixed by adding a compiler memory barrier to arch_write_unlock().  The
sparc64 version combines the barrier and assignment into a single asm(),
and implements the operation as a static inline, so that's what I did too.

Compile-tested with sparc32_defconfig + CONFIG_SMP=y.

The sparc64 spinlock_64.h contains a number of operations defined
first as static inline functions, and then as macros with the same
names and parameters as the functions.  Maybe this was needed at
some point in the past, but now nothing seems to depend on these
macros (checked with a recursive grep looking for ifdefs on these
names).  Other archs don't define these identity-macros.

So this patch deletes these unnecessary macros.

Compile-tested with sparc64_defconfig.
