Convert Blackfin to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset()
infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to
maintain.
I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident
I got it right. My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I
wasn't able to check if it compiled. Any assistance from arch
maintainers or testers to get this merged would be great.

When using mmu notifiers, we are allowed to remove the page count
reference tooken by get_user_pages to a specific page that is mapped
inside the shadow page tables.
This is needed so we can balance the pagecount against mapcount
checking.
(Right now kvm increase the pagecount and does not increase the
mapcount when mapping page into shadow page table entry,
so when comparing pagecount against mapcount, you have no
reliable result.)

This patch fixes the m32r SMP kernel after 2.6.27.
A part of the following patch breaks m32r SMP operation.
> m32r: convert to generic helpers for IPI function calls
> commit 7b7426c8a615cf61df9a77b9df7d5b75d91e3fa0
In the above patch, a CALL_FUNC_SINGLE_IPI was newly introduced,
but the its IPI vector number was wrong in the patch code.
The m32r SMP kernel hanged-up during boot operation, because
the CPU_BOOT_IPI was called instead of CALL_FUNC_SINGLE_IPI
(CPU_BOOT_IPI had no side effect at that time because the 2nd
core had already been started up),
as a result, csd_unlock() was not called, then a dead lock
occurred in csd_lock_wait() after the detection of Compact Flash
memory as IDE generic disk.

Currently, on ARMv6 and ARMv7, if an application tries to execute
code (or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by
incorrect prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort
processes as a translation fault.
To fix this we have to analyze instruction fault status register
to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it
accordingly.
To make IFSR different from DFSR we set bit 31 which is reserved in
both IFSR and DFSR.
This patch also tries to protect from future hangs on unexpected
exceptions. An application will be killed if unexpected exception
type was received.

Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to
provide status information about the last insturction fault. It
needed for proper prefetch abort handling.
Now we have three prefetch abort model:
* legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither
IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault
status for them to generalize code;
* ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR;
* ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR.

Commit 1522ac3ec95ff0230e7aa516f86b674fdf72866c
("Fix virtual to physical translation macro corner cases")
breaks the end of memory check in valid_phys_addr_range().
The modified expression results in the apparent /dev/mem size
being 2 bytes smaller than what it actually is.
This patch reworks the expression to correctly check the address,
while maintaining use of a valid address to __pa().

Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console")
introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel
arguments.
If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel
argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument
and not as "serial" and then "ttyS".
Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS
directly without the "serial" argument.

Try to avoid the 'alternates()' code when we can statically
determine that cmpxchg8b is fine. We already have that
CONFIG_x86_CMPXCHG64 (enabled by PAE support), and we could easily
also enable it for some of the CPU cases.
Note, this patch only adds CMPXCHG8B for the obvious Intel CPU's,
not for others. (There was something really messy about cmpxchg8b
and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it
carefully.)
If we avoid that asm-alternative thing when we can assume the
instruction exists, we'll generate less support crud, and we'll
avoid the whole issue with that extra 'nop' for padding instruction
sizes etc.
