Fix a race condition that returns incorrect data when a write causes an
exception to be allocated whilst a read is still in flight.
The race condition happens as follows:
* A read to non-reallocated sector in the snapshot is submitted so that the
read is routed to the original device.
* A write to the original device is submitted. The write causes an exception
that reallocates the block. The write proceeds.
* The original read is dequeued and reads the wrong data.
This race can be triggered with CFQ scheduler and one thread writing and
multiple threads reading simultaneously.
(This patch relies upon the earlier dm-kcopyd-per-device.patch to avoid a
deadlock.)

Whenever a snapshot read gets mapped through to the origin, track it in
a per-snapshot hash table indexed by chunk number, using memory allocated
from a new per-snapshot mempool.
We need to track these reads to avoid race conditions which will be fixed
by patches that follow.

Introduced by commit 4ecac3fd. The problem is that 'push' will default
to 32-bit, which is not wide enough as a fixup address. (and which would
crash on any real fixup event even if it was wide enough)
Introduce KVM_EX_PUSH to get the proper address push width on 64-bit too.
All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where
the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this
time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.
So use RCU to protect these accesses:
- wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
- use list_for_each_entry_rcu
- add to the list with list_add_rcu
- delete from the list with list_del_rcu
- delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work
Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all
cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
the list_head.
An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
- after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
already been done,
- after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
- before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
- and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
different list.
So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.
Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed.
md: only count actual openers as access which prevent a 'stop'
Open isn't the only thing that increments ->active. e.g. reading
/proc/mdstat will increment it briefly. So to avoid false positives
in testing for concurrent access, introduce a new counter that counts
just the number of times the md device it open.

- use my_mddev in place of rdev->mddev (they have the same value)

rdev->size smaller than mddev->size
Adjusting mddev->size is a hangover from bind_rdev_to_array which

mddev->size is set as required, then the rdev->sizes are set to allow
for that. The previous way invites confusion.

initrd: Fix virtual/physical mix-up in overwrite test
On recent kernels, I get the following error when using an initrd:
| initrd overwritten (0x00b78000 < 0x07668000) - disabling it.
My Amiga 4000 has 12 MiB of RAM at physical address 0x07400000 (virtual
0x00000000).
The initrd is located at the end of RAM: 0x00b78000 - 0x00c00000 (virtual).
The overwrite test compares the (virtual) initrd location to the (physical)
first available memory location, which fails.
This patch converts initrd_start to a page frame number, so it can safely be
compared with min_low_pfn.
Before the introduction of discontiguous memory support on m68k
(12d810c1b8c2b913d48e629e2b5c01d105029839), min_low_pfn was just left
untouched by the m68k-specific code (zero, I guess), and everything worked
fine.

all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.
Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: Add flush_buffer() operation to uart_ops
Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very
confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They
also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running
after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data.
This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct,
along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit
buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to
syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer
is flushed.

mfd: let asic3 use mem resource instead of bus_shift
The bus_shift parameter in platform_data is not needed
as we can tell the driver with the IOMEM_RESOURCE whether
the ASIC is located on a 16bit or 32bit memory bus.
The htc-egpio driver uses a more descriptive bus_width parameter,
but for drivers where the register map size fixed, we don't even
need this.

mfd: add ASIC3_CONFIG_GPIO templates
As ASIC3 GPIO alternate function configuration is expected to be similar
for several devices, it is convenient to define descriptive macros. This
patch is inspired by the PXA MFP configuration, the alternate functions
were observed on hx4700 and blueangel.

mfd: fix the asic3 irq demux code
Wrong irq numbers were given to desc->handle_irq, which on some devices
caused endless loops (asic3_irq_demux calling itself, basically).
