IB/mlx4: Pass send queue sizes from userspace to kernel
Pass the number of WQEs for the send queue and their size from userspace
to the kernel to avoid having to keep the QP size calculations in sync

current mlx4_ib driver and current libmlx4 caused by a difference in the
calculated sizes for SQ WQEs. Also, this gives more flexibility for
userspace to experiment with using multiple WQE BBs for a single SQ WQE.

ibm_emac: improved PHY support
Original patch is from Jeff Haran <jharan@brocade.com> with my minor style
fixes. His comments follow:
The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a
read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4),
followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While
the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE
specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843)
the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set
(bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the
write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software
reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its
power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating
the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to
spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear
before doing the modify/write.
The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a
software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control
register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same
register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY
itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset
is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this
software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of
mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on
some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the
function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing
the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write.

acpi: fix potential call to a freed memory section.
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.

SLUB: Do our own flags based on PG_active and PG_error
The atomicity when handling flags in SLUB is not necessary since both flags
used by SLUB are not updated in a racy way. Flag updates are either done
during slab creation or destruction or under slab_lock. Some of these flags
do not have the non atomic variants that we need. So define our own.

slub: fix handling of oversized slabs
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().

The SLOB allocator should implement SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU correctly, because
even on UP, RCU freeing semantics are not equivalent to simply freeing
