A number of small issues are fixed, and added the header file, missed from the
original series. With this, driver should be pretty stable as tested among
both platform-device-driven and "old way" boards. Also added missing GPL
statement , and updated year field on existing ones to reflect
code update.

We currently single-step inline if the instruction on which a kprobe is
inserted is a trap variant.
- variants (such as tdnei, used by BUG()) typically evaluate a condition
and cause a trap only if the condition is satisfied.
- kprobes uses the unconditional "trap" (0x7fe00008) and single-stepping
again on this instruction, resulting in another trap without
evaluating the condition is obviously incorrect.

The powerpc code is currently performing PCI setup before memory
initialization. PCI setup touches PCI config space registers. If the PCI
card is bad, this will evoke an error, which currrently can't be handled,
as the PCI error recovery code expects kmalloc() to be functional. This
patch will cause the system to punt instead of crashing with
cpu 0x0: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c0000000004434d0]
pc: c0000000000c06b4: .kmem_cache_alloc+0x8c/0xf4
lr: c00000000004ad6c: .eeh_send_failure_event+0x48/0xfc
This patch will also print name of the offending pci device.

The PC Speaker driver's ->probe() routine doesn't even get called in the
64-bit kernels. The reason for that is that the arch code apparently has
to explictly add a "pcspkr" platform device in order for the driver core to
call the ->probe() routine. arch/i386/kernel/setup.c unconditionally adds
a "pcspkr" device, but the x86_64 kernel has no code at all related to the
PC Speaker.
The patch below copies the relevant code from i386 to x86_64, which makes
the PC Speaker work for me on x86_64.

Change of_node_to_nid() to traverse the device tree, looking for a numa id.
Cell uses this to assign ids to SPUs, which are children of the CPU node.
Existing users of of_node_to_nid() are altered to use of_node_to_nid_single(),
which doesn't do the traversal.
Export an attach_sysdev_to_node() function, allowing system devices (eg.
SPUs) to link themselves into the numa topology in sysfs.

Based on an older patch from Mike Kravetz <kravetz@us.ibm.com>
We need to have a mem_map for high addresses in order to make fops->no_page
work on spufs mem and register files. So far, we have used the
memory_present() function during early bootup, but that did not work when
CONFIG_NUMA was enabled.
We now use the __add_pages() function to add the mem_map when loading the
spufs module, which is a lot nicer.

*) Rather than duplicate in various buggy ways the application of
CFLAGS_NO_HARDENING and UNPROFILE (which apply to the same files),
centralize it in Makefile.rules. UNPROFILE_OBJS mustn't be listed in
USER_OBJS but are compiled as such.
I've also verified that unprofile didn't work in the current form, because we
set _c_flags directly (using CFLAGS and not USER_CFLAGS, which is wrong),
which is normally used by c_flags, but we also override c_flags for all
USER_OBJS, and there we don't call unprofile.
Instead it only worked for unmap.o, the only one which wasn't a USER_OBJ.
We need to set c_flags (which is not a public Kbuild API) to clear a lot of
compilation flags like -nostdinc which Kbuild forces on everything.
*) Rather than $(CFLAGS_$(notdir $@)), which expands to CFLAGS_anObj.s when
building "anObj.s", use $(CFLAGS_$(*F).o) which always accesses
CFLAGS_anObj.o, like done by Kbuild.
*) Make c_flags apply to all targets having the same basename, rather than
listing .s, .i, .lst and .o, with the use (which I tested) of
$(USER_OBJS:.o=.%): c_flags = ...
and of
- $(obj)/unmap.c: _c_flags = ...
+ $(obj)/unmap.%: _c_flags = ...

To make some half-assembly stubs compile, disable various "hardened" GCC
features:
*) we can't make it build PIC code as we need %ebx to do syscalls and GCC
wants it free for PIC
*) we can't leave stack protection as the stub is moved (not relocated!) in
memory so the RIP-relative access to the canary tries reading from an
unmapped address and causes a segfault, since we move the stub of various
megabytes (the exact amount will be decided at runtime) away from the
link-time address.

Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard
splits by accident, then lots of time gets wasted diagnosing it - see the long
"[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java... sort of" email thread.

CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.
- First we introduced no_broadcast option
(see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)
- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.
- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP. The message "You have >8
CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
above ARCH wasnt selected.
So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.

Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc)
section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external
data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to
generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc. Currently the module
loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address
of the .toc section to use in relocations.
This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs
section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation.

At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings. Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation. With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse. Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.
The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages. Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.
