Documentation/i386/boot.txt: update and correct
In the process of rewriting the x86 setup code, I found a number of
inaccuracies and outdated recommendations in the boot protocol
documentation. Revamp to make it more up to date.
In particular, the common use of the heap actually requires (slightly)
more than 4K of heap plus stack, which is the recommended amount in
the document; currently the code compensates by being smaller than
specified, but we can't assume that will be true forever. Thus,
recommend that if we have a modern bzImage kernel, that the bootloader
maximizes the available space.

[SPARC64] PCI: Use root list of pbm's instead of pci_controller_info's
The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm,
with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info
entirely as there really isn't any need for it.
This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of
the PCI error interrupt handling.
It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for
a few reasons:
1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want
to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both
PBMs for error status. These errors come from the UPA
front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus
segments.
Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure
hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info
2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the
'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be
eliminated trivially.
What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm
to another.

vgacon: disallow console operations when in KD_GRAPHICS mode
Reported by James Pearson as:
boot to run level 3
if not root, then make sure /dev/console is writeable
login and type:
setterm -blank 0
start X
type into an xterm:
while true; do echo "" > /dev/console; usleep 100000; done
while the above loop is running switch to the text console and back
again (Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7)
... and the screen will be shifting (and wrapping) to the left.
This problem stems from continuously writing text to the system console (which
is in KD_TEXT mode) while the foreground console is in KD_GRAPHICS
mode. Somewhere along the way, console printing got confused and omitted the
KD_GRAPHICS/KD_TEXT test. Thus, vgacon attempted to scroll the screen of X,
which causes X to shift.
Fix by disallowing vgacon to touch the hardware when the vc is in KD_GRAPHICS
mode. A definitive fix entails a full audit of the console code.

fbdev: save the activate field before calling fb_check_var()
Some drivers may reset the var->activate field on fb_check_var(). This can
lead to undefined behavior. For example, doing fbset -a <option> with vga16fb
will only modify the active console instead of modifying all.
fbdev: add tile operation to get the maximum length of the map
Add a tile method, fb_get_tilemax(), that returns the maximum length of
the tile map (or font map). This is needed by s3fb which can only handle
256 characters.
s3fb: limit 8x16 rectangles when tileblitting is enabled
If tileblitting is enabled (text mode), the hardware can only accept 8x16
bitmaps. Advertise this to the upper layer. And to ensure that an appropriate
font is always available, select an 8x16 font in Kconfig.
vga16fb: restrict to blit rectangles with widths of multiples of 8 pixels
Advertise that vga16fb can only handle widths that are 8-pixel-multiple only
(software limitation). To ensure that a legal font is available, SELECT an
8x16 font in Kconfig.
fbcon: font setting should check limitation of driver
fbcon_set_font() will now check if the new font dimensions can be drawn by the
driver (by checking pixmap.blit_x and blit_y). Similarly, add 2 new
parameters to get_default_font(), font_w and font_h, to further aid in the
font selection process.
A few drivers are not capable of blitting rectangles of any dimension.
vga16fb can only blit 8-pixel wide rectangles, while s3fb (in tileblitting
mode) can only blit 8x16 rectangles. For example, loading a 12x22 font in
vga16fb will result in a corrupt display.
Advertise this limitation/capability in info->pixmap.blit_x and blit_y. These
fields are 32-bit arrays (font max is 32x32 only), ie, if bit 7 is set, then
width/height of 7+1 is supported.
fbdev: add fb_read/fb_write functions for framebuffers in system RAM
The functions fb_read() and fb_write in fbmem.c assume that the framebuffer

where the framebuffer is allocated from system RAM (via vmalloc). Using
__raw_read/__raw_write (fb_readl/fb_writel) for these drivers is
illegal, especially in other platforms.
Create file read and write methods for these types of drivers. These are
named fb_sys_read() and fb_sys_write().
