aec62xx: Fix kernel oops in driver's probe function
Add pci_enable_device() to aec62xx probe function

Original probe function tries to read from device's
PCI region 4 before calling ide_setup_pci_device().
Since the device is not enabled at this point,
on machines that have no firmware PCI initialization
(e.g. ASUS WL-700gE router), corresponding PCI BAR
is 0 and the following inb() causes a kernel oops.

ide: skip ide_wait_not_busy() on noprobe-disks
There is a problem in some hardware where the kernel will stall for
35 seconds waiting for disks that don't exist. This patch will skip
waiting for the BSY-bit on IDE drives to go away if you set "hdx=noprobe"
as a kernel option and the disk is not marked as 'present' (like when
you set the geometry by hand).
If no noprobe-option is set the code will work (more or less) as the
original but if set the code will skip the ide_wait_not_busy() for
that drive. Even if there would be a drive there and it is still busy
afterwards it should not matter since it isn't probed for later.
The code also honors the MAX_DRIVES variable instead of assuming that
there will be two harddrives on the bus.

This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"

This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit

after a long marathon of spontaneous-reboot debugging, it turns
out to be caused by sync_Arb_ids(). AMD CPUs never really needed
this sequence anyway, so just return early if we meet an AMD CPU.

time: add ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ
Michael Kerrisk reported that a long standing bug in the adjtimex()
system call causes glibc's adjtime(3) function to deliver the wrong
results if 'delta' is NULL.
add the ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ API detail, which will be used by glibc
to fix this API compatibility bug.
Also see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6761
[ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ]
NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on
older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely. Suggested by Ulrich
Drepper.

Matt sayeth:
biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need
to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any
distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8
for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev
helper.
For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope
biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions.

x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86"
For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel
$ uname -m
x86
On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
$ uname -m
x66
This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

x86: printk kernel version in WARN_ON and other dump_stack users
today, all oopses contain a version number of the kernel, which is nice
because the people who actually do bother to read the oops get this
vital bit of information always without having to ask the reporter in
another round trip.
However, WARN_ON() and many other dump_stack() users right now lack this
information; the patch below adds this. This information is essential
for getting people to use their time effectively when looking at these
things; in addition, it's essential for tools that try to collect
statistics about defects.
Please consider, since its so simple and important for long term kernel
quality processes.
The code is identical between 32/64 bit; a lot of this code should be
unified over time, the patch keeps the identical-ness intact.

This may be because buggy SMM firmware messes with the 8259A (configured
for a transparent mode -- yes that rare "local-APIC-edge" mode is tricky
;-) ) insanely.

[MIPS] 64-bit Sibyte kernels need DMA32.
Sibyte SOCs only have 32-bit PCI. Due to the sparse use of the address
space only the first 1GB of memory is mapped at physical addresses
below 1GB. If a system has more than 1GB of memory 32-bit DMA will
not be able to reach all of it.
For now this patch is good enough to keep Sibyte users happy but it seems
eventually something like swiotlb will be needed for Sibyte.

[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register.
The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read
in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will
be generated.
This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as
clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple
workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the
affected CPUs.
This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents;
at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented
and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions
exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0
available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken.
This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent
clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to
another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.
