assumption on IBM systems
Big Unisys systems have multiple clusters too, but they have an
synchronized TSC.
I'm using the SMBIOS to check for vendor == IBM.

In previous versions of pci-gart.c, no_iommu was used to determine if IOMMU was
disabled in the GART DMA mapping functions. This changed in 2.6.16 and now
gart_xxx() functions are only called if gart is enabled. Therefore, uses of
no_iommu in the GART code are no longer necessary and can be removed.
Also, it removes double deceleration of no_iommu and force_iommu in pci.h and
proto.h, by removing the deceleration in pci.h.
Lastly, end_pfn off by one error.
Tested (along with patch 1/2) on dual opteron with gart enabled, iommu=soft,
and iommu=off.

There's a problem in sd where we blindly believe the length of the

these and cause our length to end up greater than the actual buffer

mem= command line option was being ignored in arch/powerpc if we were not
a CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM (which is handled via prom_init stub). The initial
command line extraction and parsing needed to be moved earlier in the boot
process and have code to actual parse mem= and do something about it.
Also, fixed a compile warning in the file.

When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel
build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition,
on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to
reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall
in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot
on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes
both of these problems.
Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition. The name.
Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.
Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application
might want this behavior.
We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
behavior could be invoked.
I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the
parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this. Can we
get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
syscall API?

Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

migrate_pages_to() allocates a list of new pages on the intended target
node or with the intended policy and then uses the list of new pages as
targets for the migration of a list of pages out of place.
When the pages are allocated it is not clear which of the out of place
pages will be moved to the new pages. So we cannot specify an address as
needed by alloc_page_vma(). This causes problem for MPOL_INTERLEAVE which
will currently allocate the pages on the first node of the set. If mbind
is used with vma that has the policy of MPOL_INTERLEAVE then the
interleaving of pages may be destroyed.
This patch fixes that by generating a fake address for each alloc_page_vma
which will result is a distribution of pages as prescribed by
MPOL_INTERLEAVE.
Lee also noted that the sequence of nodes for the new pages seems to be
inverted. So we also invert the way the lists of pages for migration are
build.

EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers. This is
particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write
to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say)
would potentially break a lot of configurations. Instead, just disabling
vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still
works).

To avoid conflicts, in kernel files errno is expanded to kernel_errno, to
