warnings
Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

1 is a power of two, therefore roundup_pow_of_two(1) should return 1. It does
in case the argument is a variable but in case it's a constant it behaves
wrong and returns 0. Probably nobody ever did it so this was never noticed.

As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch
[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
commit: 071b638689464c6b39407025eedd810d5b5e6f5d
was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that.
From the changelog:
after this patch:
...
delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.
The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after
cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this
work_struct.

Strip __cpuinit[data] from Node <-> PXM routines and supporting data
structures. Also make pxm_to_node_map and node_to_pxm_map local to the
numa acpi module.
This fixes a bug triggered by the following conditions:
- boot on a machine with a SLIT table defined
- kernel is configured w/ CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n
- cat /sys/devices/system/node/node*/distance
This will cause an oops by calling into a freed memory section.
In particular, on x86_64, __node_distance calls node_to_pxm().

Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the
maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB.
So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use
the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size
to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations.
For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large
kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of
memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically
sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past)
Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to
MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the
number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct
grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future
issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support.
CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it.
It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

I'm getting zillions of undefined references to __kmalloc_size_too_large on
alpha. For some reason alpha is building out-of-line copies of kmalloc_slab()
into lots of compilation units.
It turns out that gcc just isn't smart enough to work out that
__builtin_contant_p(size)==true implies that __builtin_contant_p(index)==true.
So let's give it a bit of help.

There is no user of destructors left. There is no reason why we should keep
checking for destructors calls in the slab allocators.
The RFC for this patch was discussed at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117882364330705&w=2
Destructors were mainly used for list management which required them to take a
spinlock. Taking a spinlock in a destructor is a bit risky since the slab
allocators may run the destructors anytime they decide a slab is no longer
needed.
Patch drops destructor support. Any attempt to use a destructor will BUG().

There are no actual implementations of fixup_bigphys_addr() in
arch/powerpc, and with a 64-bit aware ioremap() and so forth, it
should no longer be necessary. This patch removes the last dregs of
fixup_bigphys_addr() from arch/powerpc.
In fact, the only reason this hasn't caused link errors already is
that nobody must have tried using one of the small number of drivers
using io_remap_pfn_range() on one of the small number of platforms
which are 32-bit but define CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT. Nonetheless this fixes
a bug, and should go into 2.6.22.

This patch fixes a bug whereby AC97 bus device data was being clobbered
when AC97 codecs using the generic ac97_codec.c driver were being
registered. Codecs that didn't use the generic driver were unaffected
(e.g. WM9712, WM9713).
Changes:-
o Add new AC97 codec class for custom (or need bus dev registration)
AC97 codecs.
o Only register/deregister this custom codec device with the AC97 bus.
The generic AC97 driver already does this for generic codec devices.
This may be related to bug #3038 :-

Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or
(later) ACPI _GTF. Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors
before turning off HPA. The cached original size is overwritten if
the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always
happens after configuring trasnfer mode. If the device gets hardreset
for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV.
This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check
from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is
fully configured. No matter what happens during configuration, a
device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be
treated as the same device.

Hypervisor interfaces need to be negotiated in order to use
some API calls reliably. So add a small set of interfaces
to request API versions and query current settings.
This allows us to fix some bugs in the hypervisor console:
1) If we can negotiate API group CORE of at least major 1
minor 1 we can use con_read and con_write which can improve
console performance quite a bit.
2) When we do a console write request, we should hold the
spinlock around the whole request, not a byte at a time.
What would happen is that it's easy for output from
different cpus to get mixed with each other.
3) Use consistent udelay() based polling, udelay(1) each
loop with a limit of 1000 polls to handle stuck hypervisor
console.
