When we get a notification that cpu topology changed, we schedule a
work struct which just calls arch_reinit_sched_domains. This function
in turn calls get_online_cpus() which results int the lockdep warning
below.
After all it turnded out that it's not legal to call get_online_cpus()
from the context of a multi-threaded work queue.
It could deadlock this way:
process 0 (events/cpu-x):
-> run_workqueue
-> removes my work_struct from the work queue
-> calls work_struct->fn
-> get_online_cpus()
-> locks on cpu_hotplug.lock since process 1 below is doing cpu hotplug
process 1:
-> cpu_down (for cpu-x)
-> cpu_hotplug_begin (holds cpu_hotplug.lock now)
-> cpu-x dead
-> notifier_call_chain with CPU_DEAD
-> cleanup_workqueue_thread
-> flush_cpu_workqueue (succeeds)
-> kthread_stop for events/cpu-x
-> now kthread_stop waits for my work_struct to complete from within
process 0. -> dead.
A single threaded workqueue wouldn't have such problems, however there is
no such common queue available and it's not worth to create one for the
very rare calls to arch_reinit_sched_domains.
So we just create a kernel thread from our work struct which calls
arch_reinit_sched_domains and are done with it.
Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra for helping me figuring out
that this isn't a false positive lockdep warning:

Provide an interface that gives ACPI one last chance to provide

into play iff:
- ACPI actually provides slot information for the CPU
- we lack a valid socket_id

V4L/DVB (7769): Move other terrestrial tuners to common/tuners
Those tuners are currently used only under media/dvb. However,
they can support also analog TV. Better to move them to the same place
as the other hybrid tuners. This would make easier to use those tuners also
by analog drivers.
There were several issues in the past, caused by the hybrid tuner design, since
now, the same tuner can be used by drivers/media/dvb and drivers/media/video.
Kconfig items were rearranged, to split V4L/DVB core from their drivers.
Tuner setup were happening during i2c attach callback. This means that it would
happen on two conditions:
1) if tuner module weren't load, it will happen at request_module("tuner");
2) if tuner is not compiled as a module, or it is already loaded
(for example, on setups with more than one tuner), it will happen
when saa7134 registers I2C bus.
Due to that, if tuner were loaded, tuner setup will happen _before_ reading
the proper values at tuner eeprom. Since set_addr refuses to change for a tuner
that were previously defined (except if the tuner_addr is set), this were
making eeprom tuner detection useless.
This patch removes tuner type setup from saa7134-i2c, moving it to the proper
place, after taking eeprom into account.

IPoIB: Copy child MTU from parent
When creating a child interface, copy the MTU information from the
parent. Otherwise when the child's multicast join completes, the MTU
will not be updated since the code does
dev->mtu = min(priv->mcast_mtu, priv->admin_mtu);
and priv->admin_mtu will be set to 0.

IB/mthca: Avoid changing userspace ABI to handle DMA write barrier attribute
Commit cb9fbc5c ("IB: expand ib_umem_get() prototype") changed the
mthca userspace ABI to provide a way for userspace to indicate which
memory regions need the DMA write barrier attribute. However, it is
possible to handle this without breaking existing userspace, by having
the mthca kernel driver recognize whether it is talking to old or new
userspace, depending on the size of the register MR structure passed in.
The only potential drawback of this is that is allows old userspace
(which has a bug with DMA ordering on large SGI Altix systems) to
continue to run on new kernels, but the advantage of allowing old
userspace to continue to work on unaffected systems seems to outweigh
this, and we can print a warning to push people to upgrade their
userspace.

IB/mthca: Avoid recycling old FMR R_Keys too soon
When a FMR is unmapped, mthca resets the map count to 0, and clears
the upper part of the R_Key which is used as the sequence counter.
This poses a problem for RDS, which uses ib_fmr_unmap as a fence
operation. RDS assumes that after issuing an unmap, the old R_Keys
will be invalid for a "reasonable" period of time. For instance,
Oracle processes uses shared memory buffers allocated from a pool of
buffers. When a process dies, we want to reclaim these buffers -- but
we must make sure there are no pending RDMA operations to/from those
buffers. The only way to achieve that is by using unmap and sync the
TPT.
However, when the sequence count is reset on unmap, there is a high
likelihood that a new mapping will be given the same R_Key that was
issued a few milliseconds ago.
To prevent this, don't reset the sequence count when unmapping a FMR.

IB/ehca: Allocate event queue size depending on max number of CQs and QPs
If a lot of QPs fall into Error state at once and the EQ of the
respective HCA is too small, it might overrun, causing the eHCA driver
to stop processing completion events and calling the application's
completion handlers, effectively causing traffic to stop.
Fix this by limiting available QPs and CQs to a customizable max
count, and determining EQ size based on these counts and a worst-case
assumption.

IPoIB: Use separate CQ for UD send completions
Use a dedicated CQ for UD send completions. Also, do not arm the UD
send CQ, which reduces the number of interrupts generated. This patch
farther reduces overhead by not calling poll CQ for every posted send
WR -- it does polls only when there 16 or more outstanding work requests.
