Strictly speaking, ppc64 needs it for C ABI compliance.  Realistically
I would be very surprised if e.g. passing 0xffffffff as 'options'
argument to waitid() from 32bit task would cause problems, but yes,
it puts us into undefined behaviour territory.  ppc64 expects int
argument to be passed in 64bit register with bits 31..63 containing
the same value.  SYSCALL_DEFINE on ppc provides a wrapper that normalizes
the value passed from userland; so does COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE.  Plain
declaration of compat_sys_something() with an int argument obviously
doesn't.  Again, for wait4 and waitid I would be extremely surprised
if gcc started to produce code depending on that value having been
properly sign-extended - the argument(s) in question end up passed
blindly to sys_wait4 and sys_waitid resp. and normalization for native
syscalls takes care of their use there.  Still, better to use
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE here than worry about nasal daemons...

Makes sigaltstack conversion easier to split into per-architecture

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Saner transition plan for GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK conversion - instead of
adding #define sys_sigaltstack sys_sigaltstack in asm/syscalls.h of
architecture if it's pulls asm-generic/syscalls.h, only to have those
defines removed once all architectures are converted, make the
declaration in said asm-generic/syscalls.h conditional on the lack
of GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK.  Less messy in intermediate stages that way...

Commit d6b21238 "make sure that we always have a return path from
kernel_execve()" reshuffled kernel_init()/init_post() to ensure that
kernel_execve() has a caller to return to.

It removed __init annotation for kernel_init() and introduced/calls a
new routine kernel_init_freeable(). Latter however is inlined by any
reasonable compiler (ARC gcc 4.4 in this case), causing slight code
bloat.

This patch forces kernel_init_freeable() as noinline reducing the .text

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target.

Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this
field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data
are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be
used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by
removing some per-target mempools.

Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The
argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in
dm_target.

If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to
the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the
same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to
dm_kcopyd_zero().  dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface
whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous.

WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient
zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.
Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each
WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the
specified extent.

The dm thin target uses this.

If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc()
rather than vmalloc().

vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate
page tables.

In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times.
On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%.

This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the
parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc()
was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.
