HPET doesn't depend on IOAPIC

Maurice van der Stee noted that he got an oops on a HPFS filesystem when
saving an edited file..

  <stares at the code>
  <blinks>
  <wonders whereTF do we assign hpfs1_i and hpfs2_i if both inodes are non-NULL>
  <finds the patch in question>
  <stares at jgarzik>

This fixes it.  That, BTW, means that *nobody* had ever tried to use
hpfs r/w since 2.5.3-pre3.

The pdflush kernel threads can lead to an unbounded chain of thread-creations
which can overflow the kernel stacks because we didn't uses to reset
the stack on kernel thread-creation.  We do now.

Reported by Andreas Schwab, tracked down with help from Keith Owens.

This patch changes the I/O SAPIC code to cache the low 32 bits of the mask
word in kernel memory.  This greatly speeds up mask_irq() and unmask_irq().

Normally, these operations are not on the speed-critical path of the
kernel but with certain devices drivers (including users-level device-
drivers) they can become performance-critical.

        - fix bug in pfm_unload(), not allowed when not on correct CPU for
          system-wide
        - some perf/cleanup in overflow handler
        - fix reset_pmds to be on a per PMD basis on counter overflow rather
          than global
        - remove timing debug code on messages
        - no kernel info leak on PFM_END_MSG
        - remove double-store on reg_flags for pfm_write_pmcs, pfm_write_pmds
        - on restart reset_pmds is 0 by default
        - cleanup useless macros
        - cleanup some debug prints
        - added ability to remove debug code
        - streamlined sys_perfmonctl(), pfm_read_pmds(), pfm_write_*()
        - added current->tgid to default format sample header by using one
          reserved field

The problem was that IDE-disks on machines with IDE harddisks,
memory above 4GB and no hardware I/O TLB would go BUG_ON() in
blk_queue_bounce_limit() because the IDE-controller could only
address 4GB of memory and that was much less than BLK_BOUNCE_ISA
(which is equal to ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD).  Note that the problem does
NOT trigger with CD-ROMs, which always uses the software I/O TLB
(and hence bounce-buffers) on such machines.

The best fix seems to be to simply lower ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to 4GB-1 since
that will ensure that the IDE block layer allocates memory with GFP_DMA,
which will minimize bounce buffering.

Allow command line partitioning for use with Integrator flash.

Tighten AFS partition checks:
- check footer checksum.
- check that the image name is NUL terminated.
- return error from mtd->read intact.
This prevents us finding bogus AFS partitions.

This makes it possible for people like me with a small-mem G5 to enable
the DART.  I see two reasons for wanting to do so:

1. To debug/test DART/iommu code itself (small audience, including
   myself).
2. To debug drivers on small-mem machines, since bad pci_map*() usage will
   be punished (possibly larger audience).

This patch fixes a bug which could cause do_softirq() to be called
at the wrong time (from do_IRQ()) or without pre-emption protection.

of redundancy, and to help prevent future errors.

This makes GregKH happy by removing the device name from the
device.bus_id field (and replacing it with a "name" sysfs attribute).

It also renames the parent device from "vdevice" to "vio", making the
/sys/bus and /sys/devices hierarchies consistent.

Add documentation for the above two functions.  Allow a NULL name to
be passed to amba_request_regions.  In this case, we use the driver's
name associated with the device.
