I have found that using SMI to change the cpu's frequency on my DELL
Latitude L400 clobbers the ECX register in speedstep_set_state, causing
unneccessary retries because the "state" variable has changed silently (GCC
assumes it is still present in ECX).

play safe and avoid gcc caching any register across IO port accesses
that trigger SMIs.

The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly
when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This
resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to
build the RPC iovec page list.

RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for
NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the
advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and
associated page list.

WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are
handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may
require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC
are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list
is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes,
the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing.

The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two
contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple
pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build
the RPC and caused the kernel to crash because the second-to-last
context doesn't contain the iovec page list.

Modified the condition that sets this bit so that it correctly detects
the last context for the RPC.

This reverts commit 8fa5913d, which
caused various interesting problems for people, including wrong resource
allocations.  See for example bugzilla entry "2.6.25-rc2: ohci1394
problem (MMIO broken)" at

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080

And Gary Hade says:

 "The same change had also exposed an issue reported by Paul Martin that
  has been causing an Oops while hotplugging ThinkPads to a ThinkPad
  Dock II.  See

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/405
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9961

  I have a fix for the ThinkPad docking Oops but if the issue being
  discussed here is caused by the transparent bridge sizing removal
  change I totally agree that it should be reverted."

  The transparent bridge sizing removal change was motivated by
  insufficient PCI memory resource for a transparent bridge window that
  was being created as a result of expansion ROM(s) being included in
  the transparent bridge sizing calculations.

  A later "PCI: Remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation"
  change ( re: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/11/361 ) removes the
  expansion ROM(s) from the transparent bridge sizing calculations which
  actually resolves the original issue in a different manner.  So, even
  if the "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing" is not problematic it
  is no longer needed anyway."

add_timer_on() can add a timer on a CPU which is currently in a long
idle sleep, but the timer wheel is not reevaluated by the nohz code on
that CPU. So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This
triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code.

To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the
reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event.

Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the
idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the
other CPU of the change in the timer wheel.

Call this function from add_timer_on().

This fixes the builtin RTL8139 NIC on the Medion MD9580-F laptop.  The
BIOS reports the interrupt routing incorrectly.  I recently added a
quirk to work around this, and this patch fixes a typo in the quirk.

We pad every ACPI pathname component to four characters, so ".ISA." will
never match anything.  We need ".ISA_." instead.

    clocksource.c: use init_timer_deferrable for clocksource_watchdog
    
    clocksource_watchdog can use a deferrable timer - reduces wakeups from
    idle per second.

The watchdog timer needs to run with the specified interval. Otherwise
it will miss the possible wrap of the watchdog clocksource.

The vmx hardware state restore restores the tss selector and base address, but
not its length.  Usually, this does not matter since most of the tss contents
is within the default length of 0x67.  However, if a process is using ioperm()
to grant itself I/O port permissions, an additional bitmap within the tss,
but outside the default length is consulted.  The effect is that the process
will receive a SIGSEGV instead of transparently accessing the port.

Fix by restoring the tss length.  Note that i386 had this working already.

lockdep goes off on the iova copy_reserved_iova() because it and a function
it calls grabs locks in the from, and the to of the copy operation.

The function grab locks of the same lock classes triggering the warning.  The
first lock grabbed is for the constant reserved areas that is never accessed
after early boot.  Technically you could do without grabbing the locks for the
"from" structure its copying reserved areas from.

But dropping the from locks to me looks wrong, even though it would be ok.

The affected code only runs in early boot as its setting up the DMAR
engines.

This patch gives the reserved_ioval_list locks special lockdep classes.

The VIA VT6212 defaults to only waiting 1us between passes over EHCI's
async ring, which hammers PCI badly ... and by preventing other devices
from accessing the bus, causes problems like drops in IDE throughput,
a problem that's been bugging users of those chips for several years.

A (partial) datasheet for this chip eventually turned up, letting us
see how to make it use a VIA-specific register to switch over to the
the normal 10us value instead, as suggested by the EHCI specification
Solution noted by Lev A. Melnikovsky.

It's not clear whether this register exists on other VIA chips; we
know that it's ineffective on the vt8235.  So this patch only applies
to chips that seem to be incarnations of the (discrete) vt6212.
