This hangs my MacBook Air at boot time; I get no console
messages at all. I reverted this on top of -rc5 and my machine
boots again.

This reverts commit e8c7106280a305e1ff2a3a8a4dfce141469fb039.

<title>x86, efi: Calling __pa() with an ioremap()ed address is invalid</title>

If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set
in -&gt;attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn
calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address.

On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following
oops on some machines:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280
  IP: [&lt;c10257b9&gt;] reserve_ram_pages_type+0x89/0x210
  [...]

  Call Trace:
   [&lt;c104f8ca&gt;] ? page_is_ram+0x1a/0x40
   [&lt;c1025aff&gt;] reserve_memtype+0xdf/0x2f0

   [&lt;c19210bf&gt;] i386_start_kernel+0xbf/0xc8

A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region
with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying
it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by
ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache().

Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really
don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in
the following bug report,

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516

Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on
CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI
regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to
init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these
regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM
region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows
us to delete efi_ioremap() completely.

<title>x86: Fix files explicitly requiring export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE</title>

These files were implicitly getting EXPORT_SYMBOL via device.h
which was including module.h, but that will be fixed up shortly.

By fixing these now, we can avoid seeing things like:

arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c:29: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘EXPORT_SYMBOL’
arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c:20: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘EXPORT_SYMBOL’

<title>crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn</title>

<content type='text'>
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

This patch ensures that the memory passed from parse_setup_data() is
large enough to cover the complete data structure. That means that the
conditional mapping in parse_e820_ext() can go.

While here, I also attempt not to map two pages if the address is not
aligned to a page boundary.

Avoid removing all of memory and panicing when "mem={invalid}"
is specified, e.g. mem=blahblah, mem=0, or mem=nopentium (on
platforms other than x86_32).

The saving of the ACPI NVS area during hibernation and suspend and
restoring it during the subsequent resume is entirely specific to
ACPI, so move it to drivers/acpi and drop the CONFIG_SUSPEND_NVS
configuration option which is redundant.

<title>x86, memblock: Use memblock_memory_size()/memblock_free_memory_size() to get correct dma_reserve</title>

memblock_memory_size() will return memory size in memblock.memory.region.
memblock_free_memory_size() will return free memory size in memblock.memory.region.

So We can get exact reseved size in specified range.

Set the size right after initmem_init(), because later bootmem API will
get area above 16M. (except some fallback).

Later after we remove the bootmem, We could call that just before paging_init().
