The following minor simplifications are also applied:

Justification:
Currently packet history operations span two different routines,
one of which is likely to pass through several iterations of sleeping

sets a few fields. The remaining fields are filled in when the second
routine (which is not within a sleeping context), ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent,
is called. This has several strong drawbacks:
* it is not necessary to split history operations - all fields can be
filled in by the second routine
* the first routine is called multiple times, until a packet can be sent,
and sleeps meanwhile - this causes a lot of difficulties with regard to
keeping the list consistent
* since both routines do not have a producer-consumer like synchronization,
it is very difficult to maintain data across calls to these routines
* the fact that the routines are called in different contexts (sleeping, not
sleeping) adds further problems

[DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of p
This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.
Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.
Background:
The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

b) a feedback packet is received.
In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since

reception of feedback packets;

feedback or via the nofeedback timer;
* a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using

Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again
As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)
That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5:

This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string.
To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

AT91 MMC update for 2.6.19
The driver is usable on the newer SAM9 processors so replace all text
references to AT91RM9200 with just AT91.
The controller bug where all the words are byte-swapped is fixed on the
AT91SAM9 processors. The byte-swapping work-around therefore only needs
to be done if cpu_is_at91rm9200().
[Original patch from Wojtek Kaniewski]
The AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9260 processors support two MMC/SD slots - the
slot which is connected is now passed via the platform_data and the
correct slot selected in the AT91_MCI_SDCR register.
The driver should not be calling at91_set_gpio_output() since the VCC
pin should have already been configured as an output in the
processor/board setup code. The driver should call
at91_set_gpio_value().

This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the
function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general.
There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several
functions.
Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG
macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which
is never used.

[POWERPC] Fix irq routing on some 32-bit PowerMacs
The changes to use pci_read_irq_line() broke interrupt parsing
on some 32-bit powermacs (oops). The reason is a bit obscure.
The code to parse interrupts happens earlier now, during
pcibios_fixup() as the PCI bus is being probed. However, the
current implementation pci_device_to_OF_node() for 32-bit
powerpc relies, on machines like PowerMac which renumber PCI buses,
on a table called pci_OF_bus_map containing a map of bus numbers
between the kernel and the firmware which is setup only later.
Thus, it fails to match the device node. In addition, some of
Apple internal PCI devices lack a proper PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN, thus
preventing the fallback mapping code to work.
This patch fixes it by making pci_device_to_OF_node() 32-bit
implementation use a different algorithm that works without
using the pci_OF_bus_map thing (which I intend to deprecate
anyway). It's a bit slower but that function isn't called in
any hot path hopefully.

[POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodes
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an
alternative, more compact representation for the information about the
memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This
adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation.
The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can
handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety
here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory
representation we request is different from the representation that
firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change
the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used
on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine
with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel
booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of
this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we
do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines.
We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the
ibm,client-architecture-support call.

The following patchset adds a driver for Intel's hardware virtualization
extensions to the x86 architecture. The driver adds a character device
(/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using
this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully
virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and
display.
Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host.
Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in
that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the
driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel
mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping
guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing
/dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is
intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation.
The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are
allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae
and non-pae paging modes are supported.
SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel
hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on.
Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the
mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries
every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways:
- cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes
- wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables
Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under
Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent
CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due
to X being in a separate process.
In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O
device emulation and the BIOS.
Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true):
- The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the
virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to
use an existing image or install through qemu
- Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's
probably a problem with the device model.
