For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to
arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing
so a stale value may be restored to c0_status. This fix disables
preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it
after the call.
Those functions that needed this fix have been "outlined" to
mips-atomic.c, as they are no longer good candidates for inlining.
This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours
in a continuous reboot test. It was traced to the write_lock_irq()
function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c.
By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in
arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we
were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug. Similarly,
the application of this commit silenced the bug.

The "else clause" of most functions in bitops.h invoked
raw_local_irq_{save,restore}() and in doing so had a dependency on
irqflags.h. This fix moves said code to bitops.c, removing the
dependency.

We can save the 451 lines of code that comprise memcpy-inatomic.S at the
expense of a single instruction in the memcpy prolog. We also use an
additional register (t6), so this may cause increased register pressure in
some places as well. But I think the reduced maintenance burden, of not
having two nearly identical implementations, makes it worth it.

Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family
the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline
boundary.
The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in
way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly.
Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for
explicit. The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to
be fixed on another day.

We already have sufficient infrastructure to support VR5500 and VR5500A
series processors. Here's a Makefile support to make it selectable by
ports, and enable it for NEC EMMA2RH Markeins board.
This patch also fixes a confused target help, and adds 1Gb PageMask bits
supported by VR5500 and its variants.

Reported by Eugene Surovegin <ebs@ebshome.net>.
If only modules were users of these functions they did not get linked into
the kernel proper, so later module loads would fail as well.

Many Makefiles in arch/mips have EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) line. This
is redundant while AFLAGS contains $(cflags-y) and any options only
listed in CFLAGS (not in cflags-y) should be unnecessary for asm
sources.

From the 01408c4939479ec46c15aa7ef6e2406be50eeeca log message:
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.

This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

This implementation has support for the concept of one separate ioport
address space by PCI domain. A pointer to the virtual address where
the port space of a domain has been mapped has been added to struct
pci_controller and systems should be fixed to fill in this value. For
single domain systems this will be the same value as passed to
set_io_port_base().

Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using
the cmpxchg() macro. Put the implementation in one spot that everyone
can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this.
Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a
special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading
which a pure C version would require.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
