The current PCI error recovery system keeps track of the number of PCI card
resets, and refuses to bring a card back up if this number is too large.
The goal of doing this was to avoid an infinite loop of resets if a card is
obviously dead. However, if the failures are rare, but the machine has a
high uptime, this mechanism might still be triggered; this is too harsh.
This patch will avoids this problem by decrementing the fail count after an
hour. Thus, as long as a pci card BSOD's less than 6 times an hour, it
will continue to be reset indefinitely. If it's failure rate is greater
than that, it will be taken off-line permanently.
This patch is larger than it might otherwise be because it changes
indentation by removing a pointless while-loop. The while loop is not
needed, as the handler is invoked once fo each event (by schedule_work());
the loop is leftover cruft from an earlier implementation.

In some crash scenarios, the kexec CPU is not responding to an IPI sent by
secondary CPU after init thread is forked, causing the system to drop into
xmon during kdump boot. This problem can be reproduced each time when the
debugger is enabled and soft-reset is used to invoke kdump boot. The first
CPU sends an IPI - setting the IPI priority for all secondary cpus
(xics_cause_ipi()). But some CPUs will enter into the xmon via soft-reset,
i.e, not executing xics_ipi_action(). Hence, IPI is not cleared. When
exited from the debugger, one of these CPUs could become the primary kexec
CPU. Since the IPI is not cleared, causing this issue in kdump boot. This
patch clears and EOI IPI for kexec CPU as well before the kdump boot
started.

We've seen several bugs caused by interrupt weirdness in the kdump kernel.
Panicking from an interrupt handler means we fail to EOI the interrupt, and
so the second kernel never gets that interrupt ever again. We also see hangs
on JS20 where we take interrupts in the second kernel early during boot.
This patch fixes both those problems, and although it adds more code to the
crash path I think it is the best solution.

The new i2c implementation for PowerMac has a regression that causes the
hardware to go out of state when probing non-existent devices. While
fixing that, I also found & fixed a couple of other corner cases. This
fixes booting with a pbbuttons version that scans the i2c bus for an LMU
controller among others. Tested on a dual G5 with thermal control (which
has heavy i2c activity) with no problem so far.

Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.
Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.
Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).
iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The irq2gpio array was recently converted from an array of ints to an
array of chars (by patch 3368/1.) However, this array contains elements
that are -1, and on ARM, the char type is unsigned by default, so this
patch broke the GPIO check in ixp4xx_set_irq_type.
Change the 'char' to be a 'signed char' to fix this.

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.
This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.
The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.
This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.
I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.
Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.
Patch for both i386/x86-64.
The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.
This is CVE-2006-1056

Update the schedule for the removal of drivers depending on
OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER as follows:
- adjust OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencie
- from the release of 2.6.16 till the release of 2.6.17:
approx. two months for users to report problems with the ALSA
drivers for the same hardware
- after the release of 2.6.17 (and before 2.6.18):
remove the subset of drivers marked at OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER without
known regressions in the ALSA drivers for the same hardware
Additionally, correct some OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencies.

This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface
is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO
anyway. snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up
the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases.
Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard
lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too
well). Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using
/dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU.
This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on
error too. Test booted and seems to work ok.

Fix for bug #6395:
Fail to resume on Tecra M2 with ADM1032 and Intel 82801DBM
The BIOS of the Tecra M2 doesn't like it when it has to reboot or resume
after the i2c-i801 driver has left the SMBus in PEC mode. The most simple
fix is to clear the PEC bit after after every transaction. That's what
this driver was doing up to 2.6.15 (inclusive).

On the MSI-K8T-NEO2 FIR ( Athlon-64, Socket 939 with VIA-K8T800- Chipset
and onboard Sound,... ) the BIOS lets you choose "DISABLED" or "AUTO" for
the On-Board Sound Device.
If you add another PCI-Sound-Card the BIOS disables the on-board device.
So far I have a Quirk, that does set the correspondent BIT in the
PCI-registers to enable the soundcard.
But how to ensure that the code is executed ONLY on excactly this kind of
boards (not any other with similar Chipset)?
