When a tape device is set online, offline and online again, the following
error message is printed on the console: "sysfs: duplicate filename
'non-rewinding' can not be created". The reason is that when setting a
device online, the tape driver creates a sysfs symlink from the tape device
to the tape class device. Unfortunately the symlink is not removed
correctly, when the device is set offline. Instead of passing the
tape device object to sysfs_remove_link, the class device object is used.
This patch fixes this problem and uses the correct tape device object now.

Problem:
Usually every FCP device has its own indicator field the adapter
uses to signal outstanding work. Once a certain limit of devices
is reached, a common indicator field is used. In certain scenarios
qdio resets this common indicator field, but handles only part of
the FCP-devices sharing the common indicator field. Thus inbound
traffic on the non-processed shared FCP-devices is not recognized
immediately.
Solution:
Make sure common indicator field is reset only, if all FCP-devices
sharing the indicator are processed.

x86-64: introduce struct pci_sysdata to facilitate sharing of ->sysdata
This patch introduces struct pci_sysdata to x86 and x86-64, and
converts the existing two users (NUMA, Calgary) to use it.
This lays the groundwork for having other users of sysdata, such as
the PCI domains work.
The Calgary bits are tested, the NUMA bits just look ok.
replaces pcibios_scan_root by pci_scan_bus_parented...
but in pcibios_scan_root we have a check about scanned busses.

Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems.
If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of
RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside
the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse
memory section map:
for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
struct mem_section *ms;
sparse_index_init(section, nid);
set_section_nid(section, nid);
ms = __nr_to_section(section);
if (!ms->section_mem_map)
ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) |
SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;
'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.
The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:
mmzone.h:#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (1UL<<0)
The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to
sparsemem.
This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself),
but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which
made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be.
An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or
trimmed memory ranges.

The signal trampolines were accidently flushing the kernel I$ instead of
the users. Fix that up, and also add a missing user D$ flush while
we're at it.

When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in
commit 266c2e0abe ("Make printk() console
semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to
have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore.
That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list
that is used by have_callable_console().
Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot
and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch. See
