i386: Move all simple string operations out of line
The compiler generally generates reasonable inline code for the simple
cases and for the rest it's better for code size for them to be out of line.
Also there they can be potentially optimized more in the future.
In fact they probably should be in a .S file because they're all pure
assembly, but that's for another day.
Also some code style cleanup on them while I was on it (this seems
to be the last untouched really early Linux code)
This saves ~12k text for a defconfig kernel with gcc 4.1.

x86_64: various cleanups in NUMA scan node
In acpi_scan_nodes(), we immediately return -1 if acpi_numa <= 0, meaning
we haven't detected any underlying ACPI topology or we have explicitly
disabled its use from the command-line with numa=noacpi.
acpi_table_print_srat_entry() and acpi_table_parse_srat() are only
referenced within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we can mark them as static and
remove their prototypes from the header file.
Likewise, pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] are only used within
drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we mark them as static and remove their externs
from the header file.
The automatic 'result' variable is unused in acpi_numa_init(), so it's
removed.
Linux 64bit only uses the IO-APIC ID as an internal cookie. In the future
there could be some cases where the IO-APIC IDs are not unique because
they share an 8 bit space with CPUs and if there are enough CPUs
it is difficult to get them that. But Linux needs the io apic ID
internally for its data structures. Assign unique IO APIC ids on
table parsing.

atmel_lcdfb: Fix STN LCD support
Fixes STN LCD support for the atmel_lcdfb framebuffer driver.
This patch is the result of a work from Jan Altenberg and has
been tested on a Hitachi SP06Q002 on at91sam9261ek.
It adds a Kconfig switch that enables the proper LCD in the
board configuration file (STN or TFT). The switch is used
in arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9261_devices.c & board-sam9261ek.c
as an example.
This patch includes the "Fix wrong line_length calculation"

coda: remove CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcalls
This is an variation on the patch sent by Christoph Hellwig which kills
file_count abuse by the Coda kernel module by moving the coda_flush
functionality into coda_release. However part of reason we were using the
coda_flush callback was to allow Coda to pass errors that occur during
writeback from the userspace cache manager back to close().
As Al Viro explained on linux-fsdevel, it is impossible to guarantee that
such errors can in fact be returned back to the caller. There are many
cases where the last reference to a file is not released by the close
system call and it is also impossible to pick some close as a 'last-close'
and delay it until all other references have been destroyed.
The CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcall combination is clearly a broken design,
and it is better to remove it completely.

Unfortunately io_tlb_orig_addr[] is only initialised for the first slab,
and hence the call to sync_single() will read a garbage orig_addr in this
case.
This patch fixes the issue by initialising all mapped slabs in
io_tlb_orig_addr[]. It also correctly adjusts the buffer pointer in
sync_single() to handle the case that the given dma_addr is not aligned on
a slab boundary.

[SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection.
The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
is wrong.
The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
or similar to a full path name to the console device.
Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
colon at the end of the path. The option area is used to specify
which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
device node drives multiple ports. 'a' is assumed if the option
specification is missing.
This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator. The 'output-device'
property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'. Instead we saw it
as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.
The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.

This basically reverts commit 4e44f3497d41db4c3b9051c61410dee8ae4fb49c,
while waiting for it to be re-done more completely. There are cases of
people mixing "time()" with higher-resolution time sources, and we need
to take the nanosecond offsets into account.
Ingo has a patch that does that, but it's still under some discussion.
In the meantime, just revert back to the old simple situation of just
doing the whole exact timesource calculations.
But rather than using do_gettimeofday(), use the internal nanosecond
resolution getnstimeofday(), which at least avoids one unnecessary
conversion (since we really don't care about whether the fractional
seconds are nanoseconds or microseconds - we'll just throw them away).
[CELL] spufs: rework list management and associated locking
This sorts out the various lists and related locks in the spu code.
In detail:
- the per-node free_spus and active_list are gone. Instead struct spu
gained an alloc_state member telling whether the spu is free or not
- the per-node spus array is now locked by a per-node mutex, which
takes over from the global spu_lock and the per-node active_mutex
- the spu_alloc* and spu_free function are gone as the state change is
now done inline in the spufs code. This allows some more sharing of
code for the affinity vs normal case and more efficient locking
- some little refactoring in the affinity code for this locking scheme

[CELL] oprofile: enable SPU switch notification to detect currently active SPU tasks
From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>
This patch adds to the capability of spu_switch_event_register so that
the caller is also notified of currently active SPU tasks.
Exports spu_switch_event_register and spu_switch_event_unregister so
that OProfile can get access to the notifications provided.

[CELL] cell: indexing of SPUs based on firmware vicinity properties
This patch links spus according to their physical position using
information provided by the firmware through a special vicinity
device-tree property. This property is present in current version
of Malta firmware.
Example of vicinity properties for a node in Malta:
[CELL] spufs: integration of SPE affinity with the scheduller
This patch makes the scheduller honor affinity information for each
context being scheduled. If the context has no affinity information,
behaviour is unchanged. If there are affinity information, context is
schedulled to be run on the exact spu recommended by the affinity
placement algorithm.

[CELL] cell: add placement computation for scheduling of affinity contexts
This patch provides the spu affinity placement logic for the spufs scheduler.
Each time a gang is going to be scheduled, the placement of a reference
context is defined. The placement of all other contexts with affinity from
the gang is defined based on this reference context location and on a
precomputed displacement offset.
