While doing this, I realized that there is a lot more cleanup that should have

specific set of functions, and always allow fallback to the native
implementation.
This is critical for future compatibility.

[PATCH] vmi: pit override
The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner
after the integration of the hrtimers code. The problem is that now the call
path for time initialization is:
If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect
function pointer in the paravirt-ops table. The problem is, by the time the
paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled.
But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT.
Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all
nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the
late_time_init hook. This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the
same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have
outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too
late.
So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which
is the time init function used for native hardware. Paravirt guests have the
chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should
need no change.

The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to

represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).
To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time. So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along. This allows the tsc.c
code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
backends.
It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even

Critical bugfixes for the VMI-Timer code.
1) Do not setup a one shot alarm if we are keeping the periodic alarm
armed. Additionally, since the periodic alarm can be run at a lower rate
than HZ, let's fixup the guard to the no-idle-hz mode appropriately. This
fixes the bug where the no-idle-hz mode might have a higher interrupt rate
than the non-idle case.
2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock
acquisition. Drop this. We don't need to check for wallclock time at
every tick, it can be done in userspace instead.
3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation. This is useful as a last
minute workaround, or testing measure.
4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be
conditional on IO_APIC, not SMP, since UP kernels can have this configured

This patch makes pci_dev->msi_enabled and pci_dev->msix_enabled the definitive
way to test if linux has enabled the msi capability, and has the appropriate
msi data structures set up.
This patch ensures that while writing the msi messages in save/restore and
during device initialization we have the msi capability disabled so we don't
get into races. The pci spec requires that we do not have the msi capability
enabled and the msi messages unmasked while we write the messages. Completely
disabling the capability is overkill but it is easy :)

[PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling
In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
hardware does not have an msi capability enabled. Currently the code has been
calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that. However disable_msi_mode
has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.
Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.
pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
clearing the msi enable bit. A device that is not allowed to perform bus
mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering. So the call
in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.
quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.

ide: fix pmac breakage
Fix breakage added in the IDE devel tree.

drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c: In function `pmac_ide_dma_host_on':

Then add some apparently-long-missing error handling.

The function ide_get_best_pio_mode() fails to return the correct IORDY setting
for the explicitly specified modes -- fix this along with the heading comment,
and also remove the long commented out code.
Also, while at it, correct the misliading comment about the PIO cycle time in
<linux/ide.h> -- it actually consists of only the active and recovery periods,
with only some chips also including the address setup time into equation...
[ bart: sl82c105 seems to be currently the only driver affected by this fix ]

piix/slc90e66: more tuneproc() fixing (take 2)
The tuneproc() method in both these drivers failed to set the drive's own speed.
Fix this by renaming the function and "wrapping around it" the new tuneproc()
method. Switch back to calling tuneproc() in the PIO fallback code.
While at it, also convert the rest of the PIO timing code into proper C. :-)
Has been kind of tested on SLC90E66. I'm too lazy to reboot my box and test
on ICH4... :-)

ide: fix drive side 80c cable check, take 2
eighty_ninty_three() had word 93 validitity check but not the 80c bit
test itself (bit 13). This increases the chance of incorrect wire
detection especially because host side cable detection is often
unreliable and we sometimes soley depend on drive side cable
detection. Fix it.

cmd64x: fix PIO mode setup (take 3)
The driver's tuneproc() method fails to set the drive's own speed -- fix this
by renaming the function to cmd64x_tune_pio(), making it return the mode set,
and "wrapping" the new tuneproc() method around it; while at it, also get rid
of the non-working prefetch control code (filtering out related argument values
in the "wrapper"), remove redundant PIO5 mode limitation, make cmdprintk() give
more sensible mode info, and remove mention about the obsolete /proc/ interface.
Get rid of the broken config_chipset_for_pio() which always tried to set PIO4,
switch to always auto-tuning PIO instead.
Oh, and add the missing PIO5 support to the speedproc() method while at it. :-)
Warning: compile tested only -- getting to the real hardware isn't that easy...

Also, setting PIO mode via the speedproc() method does not work due to passing

[VLAN]: Avoid a 4-order allocation.
This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On
x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing
a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system
external fragmentation conditions.
I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
softirq context of the RCU callback.
