Uses local_t for module reference counts.

Introduces local_t, a type which is like atomic_t, but the
operations are only atomic from a single CPU's point of view
(ie. atomic against interrupts and softirqs). Some architectures
(eg. i386) can implement these very efficiently.

There are special operations for the case of a local operation on a
per-cpu variable (which is common), which some architectures can
implement efficiently (eg. IA64 keeps all per-cpu variables mapped
at the same address, so no address arithmetic is needed).

The generic implementation given here simply uses atomics on 32-bit
archs, three variables on others.  x86 is already implemented specially.

Richard Henderson point out a while back that linker generated symbols
should be declared as: "char _text[]" so that the compiler can't make
assumptions about them sitting in small sections, etc.

Centralize these defintions in asm/sections.h (where some already
are on x86).

The current percpu macros do not allow __get_cpu_var(foo.val1)
which makes building macros on top of them really difficult.  The
reason for this is the __per_cpu postfix appended to per-cpu
variables, designed to catch direct uses.  Prepend it instead.

From Dennis Vshivkov: 

  "whenever I was trying to create a file using only national
   characters for its name, it was always created with an
   uppercased shortname (provided that the name was not too
   long for 8.3, of course). Everything was fine with latin
   filenames, though."

The bug is that we check "buf[0]" as an unsigned character, but
"buf" is just "char *", which (depending on architecture and
compiler options) tends to be signed.

Adds kahlua, harmony and hal2 drivers to the build options.

Fix an assortment of unchecked copy_to_user().

Memory leak fix: hw_config is allocated before the call to sb_dsp_detect.

This allows the low-level start code to be located far away from the
rest of the kernel, which is sometimes necessary.

This feature is not actually MA1-specific, so get rid of the `MA1' in
the name.

Some updated copyright noticed and an unnecessary variable deleted.

This updates the v850 Kconfig and kernel/Makefile to reflect preceding
changes.

This patch adds support for the `sim85e2s' simulation of the NA85E2S
processor implementation.  As part of this, cache-flushing support for
the common v850e2 cache implementation is added.

It also cleans up a bunch of code that was duplicated between different
v850e2 processors.

This adds a port to the V850E/ME2 processor, and the `SolutionGear mini'
RTE-V850E/ME2-CB evaluation board.

This allows ports that support the v850 RTE-CB `GBUS' interrupts to use
both them and processor-board-specific interrupts at the same time.

(1) Add support for the V850E/ME2 processor

(2) Clean up the cache-flushing function naming a bit

(3) Similar to previous patches, rename everything from `nb85e' to `v850e'.
    This patch renames some files, and so contains a number of whole-file
    add/removes.

The v850 family contains several related-but-not-identical on-chip
UARTs.  This patch factors out the common code and uses it to implement
both types (only one was supported before).

Also, this patch changes the way the v850 UART is initialized, to use
the same method as other linux serial drivers.

This patch renames the UART code to be `v850e_uart' rather than
`nb85e_uart', as the former is more correct.  As this change renames
some files too, the patch contains a number of whole-file add/removes.

The term `nb85e' is incorrect (caused by my confusion when starting the
v850 port), so this renames all occurances to `v850e'.

Because this change renames some files too, it contains a number of
whole-file add/removes.
