Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk
Drive Services. CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into
the kernel. Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as
a kernel parameter.

Remove proc_root export. Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is
supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way.
So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created
PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.

This adds support for OLPC XO hardware. Open Firmware on XOs don't contain
the VSA, so it is necessary to emulate the PCI BARs in the kernel. This also
adds functionality for running EC commands, and a CONFIG_OLPC.
A number of OLPC drivers depend upon CONFIG_OLPC.
olpc_ec_timeout is a hack to work around Embedded Controller bugs.

iommu_is_span_boundary in lib/iommu-helper.c was exported for PARISC IOMMUs
(commit 3715863aa142c4f4c5208f5f3e5e9bac06006d2f). SWIOTLB can use it instead
of the homegrown function.

The 64-bit vDSO image is in a special ".vdso" section for no reason
I can determine. Furthermore, the location of the vdso_end symbol
includes some wrongly-calculated padding space in the image, which
is then (correctly) rounded to page size, resulting in an extra page
of zeros in the image mapped in to user processes.
This changes it to put the vdso.so image into normal initdata as we
have always done for the 32-bit vDSO images. The extra padding is
gone, so the user VMA is one page instead of two. The image that
was already copied around at boot time is now in initdata, so we
recover that wasted space after boot.

This bug was introduced in the 2.6.24 i386/x86_64 tree merge, where
MSI-X vector allocation will eventually fail. The cause is the new
bit array tracking used vectors is not getting cleared properly on
IRQ destruction on the 32-bit APIC code.
This can be seen easily using the ixgbe 10 GbE driver on multi-core
systems by simply loading and unloading the driver a few times.
Depending on the number of available vectors on the host system, the
MSI-X allocation will eventually fail, and the driver will only be
able to use legacy interrupts.
I am generating the same patch for both stable trees for 2.6.24 and
2.6.25.

This cleans up a few MSR-using drivers in the following manner:
- Ensures MSRs are all defined in asm/geode.h, rather than in misc
places
- Makes the naming consistent; cs553[56] ones begin with MSR_,
GX-specific ones start with MSR_GX_, and LX-specific ones start
with MSR_LX_. Also, make the names match the data sheet.
- Use MSR names rather than numbers in source code
- Document the fact that the LX's MSR_PADSEL has the wrong value
in the data sheet. That's, uh, good to note.

Turn CONFIG_DMI into a selectable option if EMBEDDED is defined, in
order to be able to remove the DMI table scanning code if it's not
needed, and then reduce the kernel code size.
With CONFIG_DMI (i.e before) :
text data bss dec hex filename
1076076 128656 98304 1303036 13e1fc vmlinux
Without CONFIG_DMI (i.e after) :
text data bss dec hex filename
1068092 126308 98304 1292704 13b9a0 vmlinux
Result:
text data bss dec hex filename
-7984 -2348 0 -10332 -285c vmlinux
The new option appears in "Processor type and features", only when
CONFIG_EMBEDDED is defined.

All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.
I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

There is not selective cr0 intercept bug. The code in the comment sets the
CR0.PG bit. But KVM sets the CR4.PG bit for SVM always to implement the paged
real mode. So the 'mov %eax,%cr0' instruction does not change the CR0.PG bit.
Selective CR0 intercepts only occur when a bit is actually changed. So its the
right behavior that there is no intercept on this instruction.

There is a window open between testing of pending IRQ's
and assignment of guest_mode in __vcpu_run.
Injection of IRQ's can race with __vcpu_run as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
kvm_x86_ops->run()
vcpu->guest_mode = 0 SET_IRQ_LINE ioctl
..
kvm_x86_ops->inject_pending_irq
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt()
apic_test_and_set_irr()
kvm_vcpu_kick
if (vcpu->guest_mode)
send_ipi()
vcpu->guest_mode = 1
So move guest_mode=1 assignment before ->inject_pending_irq, and make
sure that it won't reorder after it.

Timers that fire between guest hlt and vcpu_block's add_wait_queue() are
ignored, possibly resulting in hangs.
Also make sure that atomic_inc and waitqueue_active tests happen in the
specified order, otherwise the following race is open:
CPU0 CPU1
if (waitqueue_active(wq))
add_wait_queue()
if (!atomic_read(pit_timer->pending))
schedule()
atomic_inc(pit_timer->pending)

When KVM uses NPT there is no reason to intercept task switches. This patch

To properly forward a MCE occured while the guest is running to the host, we

This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86
MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn.
We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places
assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support
IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will
succeed.
This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved
RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight
forward.
Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break
the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel,
AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

Zdenek reported a bug where a looping "dmsetup status" eventually hangs
on SMP guests.
The problem is that kvm_mmu_get_page() prepopulates the shadow MMU
before write protecting the guest page tables. By doing so, it leaves a
window open where the guest can mark a pte as present while the host has
shadow cached such pte as "notrap". Accesses to such address will fault
in the guest without the host having a chance to fix the situation.
Fix by moving the write protection before the pte prefetch.

If the accessed bit is not set, the guest has never accessed this page
(at least through this spte), so there's no need to mark the page
accessed. This provides more accurate data for the eviction algortithm.
