Reinstate lost flush_ioremap_region() fix to pxa2xx-flash driver

benh sayeth:
Initially the goal of the dcr_read/dcr_write routines was to operate like
mfdcr/mtdcr which take absolute DCR numbers. The reason is that on 4xx
hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of
instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR
inline.
We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places
where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may
as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for
device "instances" that can exist on 4xx and Axon type platforms and may
be located at variable DCR offsets.

net/bonding: Enable IP multicast for bonding IPoIB devices
Allow to enslave devices when the bonding device is not up. Over the discussion
held at the previous post this seemed to be the most clean way to go, where it

Normally, the bonding driver is UP before any enslavement takes place.
Once a netdevice is UP, the network stack acts to have it join some multicast groups
(eg the all-hosts 224.0.0.1). Now, since ether_setup() have set the bonding device
type to be ARPHRD_ETHER and address len to be ETHER_ALEN, the net core code
computes a wrong multicast link address. This is b/c ip_eth_mc_map() is called
where for multicast joins taking place after the enslavement another ip_xxx_mc_map()
is called (eg ip_ib_mc_map() when the bond type is ARPHRD_INFINIBAND)

IB/ipoib: Bound the net device to the ipoib_neigh structue
IPoIB uses a two layer neighboring scheme, such that for each struct neighbour
whose device is an ipoib one, there is a struct ipoib_neigh buddy which is
created on demand at the tx flow by an ipoib_neigh_alloc(skb->dst->neighbour)
call.
When using the bonding driver, neighbours are created by the net stack on behalf
of the bonding (master) device. On the tx flow the bonding code gets an skb such
that skb->dev points to the master device, it changes this skb to point on the
slave device and calls the slave hard_start_xmit function.
Under this scheme, ipoib_neigh_destructor assumption that for each struct
neighbour it gets, n->dev is an ipoib device and hence netdev_priv(n->dev)
can be casted to struct ipoib_dev_priv is buggy.
To fix it, this patch adds a dev field to struct ipoib_neigh which is used
instead of the struct neighbour dev one, when n->dev->flags has the

Make scheduler debug file operations const
In general, struct file_operations are const in the kernel, to not have
false cacheline sharing and to catch bugs at compiletime with accidental
writes to them. The new scheduler code introduces a new non-const one;
fix this up.

sched: do not normalize kernel threads via SysRq-N
do not normalize kernel threads via SysRq-N: the migration threads,
softlockup threads, etc. might be essential for the system to
function properly. So only zap user tasks.

sched: cleanup: refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completion
Refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completion
These functions were largely cut'n'pasted. This moves
the common code into single helpers instead. Advantage
is about 1k less code on x86-64 and 91 lines of code removed.
It adds one function call to the non timeout version of
the functions; i don't expect this to be measurable.

sched: prevent wakeup over-scheduling
Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a
task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated
preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the
task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher
priority still preempt immediately.

sched: fix group scheduling for SCHED_BATCH
The following patch (sched: disable sleeper_fairness on SCHED_BATCH)
seems to break GROUP_SCHED. Although, it may be 'oops'-less due to the
possibility of 'p' being always a valid address.

sched: fix rt ptracer monopolizing CPU
yield() in wait_task_inactive(), can cause a high priority thread to be
scheduled back in, and there by loop forever while it is waiting for some
lower priority thread which is unfortunately still on the runqueue.
Use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) instead.
