Uninline virq_to_hw and export it so modules can use it. The alternative
would be to export the irq_map array instead, but it's an infrequently
called function, and keeping the array unexported seems considerably
cleaner.

This is needed so that the pasemi_mac driver can be compiled as a module.

<title>Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARM</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<content type='text'>
Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.

This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed).  This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

pte_alloc_one() is expected to return NULL if out of memory.
But it returns virt_to_page(NULL), which is not NULL.
This fixes it.

I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching.  The
common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB
batch.  It does that because it delays all page freeing until after
tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to
those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to
the freed pages.

However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page
table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending
TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error.  This fixes it.

<title>Detach sched.h from mm.h</title>

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
	ia64 ia64-up
	m68k
	mips
	parisc parisc-up
	powerpc powerpc-up
	s390 s390-up
	sparc sparc-up
	sparc64 sparc64-up
	um-x86_64
	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig

as well as my two usual configs.

There are no actual implementations of fixup_bigphys_addr() in
arch/powerpc, and with a 64-bit aware ioremap() and so forth, it
should no longer be necessary.  This patch removes the last dregs of
fixup_bigphys_addr() from arch/powerpc.

In fact, the only reason this hasn't caused link errors already is
that nobody must have tried using one of the small number of drivers
using io_remap_pfn_range() on one of the small number of platforms
which are 32-bit but define CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT.  Nonetheless this fixes
a bug, and should go into 2.6.22.
