Currently kernel images are limited to 8MB in size, and this causes
problems especially when enabling features that take up a lot of
kernel image space such as lockdep.
The code now will align the kernel image size up to 4MB and map that
many locked TLB entries. So, the only practical limitation is the
number of available locked TLB entries which is 16 on Cheetah and 64
on pre-Cheetah sparc64 cpus. Niagara cpus don't actually have hw
locked TLB entry support. Rather, the hypervisor transparently
provides support for "locked" TLB entries since it runs with physical
addressing and does the initial TLB miss processing.
Fully utilizing this change requires some help from SILO, a patch for
which will be submitted to the maintainer. Essentially, SILO will
only currently map up to 8MB for the kernel image and that needs to be
increased.
Note that neither this patch nor the SILO bits will help with network
booting. The openfirmware code will only map up to a certain amount
of kernel image during a network boot and there isn't much we can to
about that other than to implemented a layered network booting
facility. Solaris has this, and calls it "wanboot" and we may
implement something similar at some point.

Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch/<arch>/Kconfig file for relevant
architectures with kprobes support. This facilitates easy handling of
in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on
kretprobes being present in the kernel.
Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean.
Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

Because of the new futex validation init handler, we have

Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose.
See, for example, the code added by changeset
a0c1e9073ef7428a14309cba010633a6cd6719ea ("futex: runtime enable pi
and robust functionality").
That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault().
Just remove it for now. Maybe we can add it back later with an added
conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value.

Fix following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4f980): Section mismatch in reference from the function kernel_map_range() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem()
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4f9cc): Section mismatch in reference from the function kernel_map_range() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem()
alloc_bootmem() is only used during early init and for any subsequent
call to kernel_map_range() the program logic avoid the call.
So annotate kernel_map_range() with __ref to tell modpost to
ignore the reference to a __init function.

Fix following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4b258): Section mismatch in reference from the function dr_cpu_data() to the function .devinit.text:mdesc_fill_in_cpu_data()
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4b290): Section mismatch in reference from the function dr_cpu_data() to the function .cpuinit.text:cpu_up()
mdesc_fill_in_cpu_data() is only used during early init and for
cpu hotplug so the __cpuinit annotation is the correct choice.
We have the call chain:
dr_cpu_data() => dr_cpu_configure() => mdesc_fill_in_cpu_data()
dr_cpu_data() is used only during early init and for cpu
hotplug. So annotating them all __cpuinit solves the
section mismatch and should be correct.

The idea of this thing is we could save/restore the firmware's
palette when breaking in and out of the firmware prompt.
Only one driver implemented this (atyfb) and it's value is
questionable. If you're just debugging you don't really
care that the characters end up being purple or whatever.
And we can provide better debugging and firmware command
facilities with minimal in-kernel console I/O drivers.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:
without patch series:
text data bss dec hex filename
5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux
with patch series:
text data bss dec hex filename
5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux
This patch:
Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

Mimicks almost perfectly the powerpc IOMMU code, except that it
