The KSI8560 is a single compact, mid-, or full-size Advanced Mezzanine Card
(AdvancedMC™) based on the Freescale™ Semiconductor MPC8560 PowerQUICC III™
microprocessor. This product will serve in data and signaling applications such
as signaling gateways (SGW) and softswitch signaling interface cards.
The board has altera maxii CPLD, that is used to obtain and manage board
configuration. Also there are two SCC UART serial consoles and FCC ethernet,
that is routed to the front panel, while other ethernet controlers (TSEC's) are
routed to the backplane.

sata_promise: fix hardreset hotplug events, take 2
A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard
reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by
the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence
of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up.
This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata
hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue.
The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to
reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.)
This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw()
that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue
to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw().
Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock.
We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this
lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement.
The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses
are inside the region protected by host->lock.
Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4,
FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks,
with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

libata: improve HPA error handling
There's no point in retrying and eventually failing device detection
when the device rejects READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT]. Disable HPA unlocking
if READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT] is rejected as done when SET_MAX[_EXT] is
rejected.
This allows some old drives to work even if they aren't blacklisted.

libata: assume no device is attached if both IDENTIFYs are aborted
This is to fix bugzilla #10254. QSI cdrom attached to pata_sis as
secondary master appears as phantom device for the slave.
Interestingly, instead of not setting DRQ after IDENTIFY which
triggers NODEV_HINT, it aborts both IDENTIFY and IDENTIFY PACKET which
makes EH retry.
Modify EH such that it assumes no device is attached if both flavors
of IDENTIFY are aborted by the device. There really isn't much point
in retrying when the device actively aborts the commands.
While at it, convert NODEV detection message to ata_dev_printk() to
help debugging obscure detection problems.

SVCRDMA: Use only 1 RDMA read scatter entry for iWARP adapters
The iWARP protocol limits RDMA read requests to a single scatter
entry. NFS/RDMA has code in rdma_read_max_sge() that is supposed to
limit the sge_count for RDMA read requests to 1, but the code to do
that is inside an #ifdef RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP block. In the mainline
kernel at least, RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP is an enum and not a
preprocessor #define, so the #ifdef'ed code is never compiled.
In my test of a kernel build with -j8 on an NFS/RDMA mount, this
problem eventually leads to trouble starting with:
The trivial fix is to delete the #ifdef guard. The check seems to be
a remnant of when the NFS/RDMA code was not merged and needed to
compile against multiple kernel versions, although I don't think it
ever worked as intended. In any case now that the code is upstream
there's no need to test whether the RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP constant is
defined or not.
Without this patch, my kernel build on an NFS/RDMA mount using NetEffect
adapters quickly and 100% reproducibly failed with an error like:
ld: final link failed: Software caused connection abort
With the patch applied I was able to complete a kernel build on the
same setup.
(Tom Tucker says this is "actually an _ancient_ remnant when it had to
compile against iWARP vs. non-iWARP enabled OFA trees.")

x86-32: Pass the full resource data to ioremap()
It appears that 64-bit PCI resources cannot possibly ever have worked on
x86-32 even when the RESOURCES_64BIT config option was set, because any
driver that tried to [pci_]ioremap() the resource would have been unable
to do so because the high 32 bits would have been silently dropped on
the floor by the ioremap() routines that only used "unsigned long".
Change them to use "resource_size_t" instead, which properly encodes the
whole 64-bit resource data if RESOURCES_64BIT is enabled.

so while registering the driver, the driver's probe function won't be
called, because the device tree node doesn't have a device_type
property. Thus the driver's bcom_engine structure won't be allocated.
Referencing this structure later causes observed Oops.
Checking bcom_eng pointer for NULL before referencing data pointed
by it prevents oopsing, but fec driver still doesn't work (because
of the lost bestcomm match and resulted task allocation failure).
Actually the compatible property exists and should match and so
the fec driver should work.
This removes .type = "dma-controller" from the bestcomm driver's
mpc52xx_bcom_of_match table to solve the problem.

[POWERPC] Don't use 64k pages for ioremap on pSeries
On pSeries, the hypervisor doesn't let us map in the eHEA ethernet
adapter using 64k pages, and thus the ehea driver will fail if 64k
pages are configured. This works around the problem by always
using 4k pages for ioremap on pSeries (but not on other platforms).
A better fix would be to check whether the partition could ever
have an eHEA adapter, and only force 4k pages if it could, but this
will do for 2.6.25.
