Pull sparc updates from David Miller:

 1) Move to 4-level page tables on sparc64 and support up to 53-bits of
    physical addressing.  Kernel static image BSS size reduced by
    several megabytes.

 2) M6/M7 cpu support, from Allan Pais.

 3) Move to sparse IRQs, handle hypervisor TLB call errors more
    gracefully, and add T5 perf_event support.  From Bob Picco.

 4) Recognize cdroms and compute geometry from capacity in virtual disk
    driver, also from Allan Pais.

 5) Fix memset() return value on sparc32, from Andreas Larsson.

<title>vio: fix reuse of vio_dring slot</title>

vio_dring_avail() will allow use of every dring entry, but when the last
entry is allocated then dr-&gt;prod == dr-&gt;cons which is indistinguishable from
the ring empty condition. This causes the next allocation to reuse an entry.
When this happens in sunvdc, the server side vds driver begins nack'ing the
messages and ends up resetting the ldc channel. This problem does not effect
sunvnet since it checks for &lt; 2.

The fix here is to just never allocate the very last dring slot so that full
and empty are not the same condition. The request start path was changed to
check for the ring being full a bit earlier, and to stop the blk_queue if
there is no space left. The blk_queue will be restarted once the ring is
only half full again. The number of ring entries was increased to 512 which
matches the sunvnet and Solaris vdc drivers, and greatly reduces the
frequency of hitting the ring full condition and the associated blk_queue
stop/starting. The checks in sunvent were adjusted to account for
vio_dring_avail() returning 1 less.

<title>sunvnet: generate ICMP PTMUD messages for smaller port MTUs</title>

This patch sends ICMP and ICMPv6 messages for Path MTU Discovery when a remote
port MTU is smaller than the device MTU. This allows mixing newer VIO protocol
devices that support MTU negotiation with older devices that do not on the
same vswitch. It also allows Linux-Linux LDOMs to use 64K-1 data packets even
though Solaris vswitch is limited to &lt;16K MTU.

This patch removes pre-allocated transmit buffers and instead directly maps
pending packets on demand. This saves O(n^2) maximum-sized transmit buffers,
for n hosts on a vswitch, as well as a copy to those buffers.

Single-stream TCP throughput linux-solaris dropped ~5% for 1500-byte MTU,
but linux-linux at 1500-bytes increased ~20%.

When sending out a burst of packets across multiple descriptors,
it is sufficient to send one LDC "start" trigger for
the first descriptor, so do not send an LDC "start" for every
pass through vnet_start_xmit. Similarly, it is sufficient to send
one "DRING_STOPPED" trigger for the last dring (and if that
fails, hold off and send the trigger later).

Optimizations to the number of LDC messages helps avoid
filling up the LDC channel with superfluous LDC messages
that risk triggering flow-control on the channel,
and also boosts performance.
