3957df6160 pata_cs5536: ATA driver for Geode companion chip
This is a driver for the ATA controller on the Geode CS5536 companion
chip.  The PCI device ID for this device was previously claimed by
pata_amd.c but the PIO timings were not correct.  This driver also
works around a bug in some BIOSes that handle unaligned access to the
PCI config registers poorly.  Finally, the driver allows fallback to
using MSR registers for configuration on BIOSes that are truly
broken.

4b6cb5d8e3 [INET]: Small cleanup for xxx_put after evictor consolidation
After the evictor code is consolidated there is no need in
passing the extra pointer to the xxx_put() functions.

The only place when it made sense was the evictor code itself.

Maybe this change must got with the previous (or with the
next) patch, but I try to make them shorter as much as
possible to simplify the review (but they are still large
anyway), so this change goes in a separate patch.

8e7999c44e [INET]: Consolidate the xxx_evictor
The evictors collect some statistics for ipv4 and ipv6,
so make it return the number of evicted queues and account
them all at once in the caller.

The XXX_ADD_STATS_BH() macros are just for this case,
but maybe there are places in code, that can make use of
them as well.

1e4b82873a [INET]: Consolidate the xxx_frag_destroy
To make in possible we need to know the exact frag queue
size for inet_frags->mem management and two callbacks:

 * to destoy the skb (optional, used in conntracks only)
 * to free the queue itself (mandatory, but later I plan to
   move the allocation and the destruction of frag_queues
   into the common place, so this callback will most likely
   be optional too).

04128f233f [INET]: Collect common frag sysctl variables together
Some sysctl variables are used to tune the frag queues
management and it will be useful to work with them in
a common way in the future, so move them into one
structure, moreover they are the same for all the frag
management codes.

I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object,
introduced in the previous patch for two reasons:

 1. to keep them in the __read_mostly section;
 2. not to export the whole inet_frags objects outside.

7eb95156d9 [INET]: Collect frag queues management objects together
There are some objects that are common in all the places
which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are:

 * hash table
 * LRU list
 * rw lock
 * rnd number for hash function
 * the number of queues
 * the amount of memory occupied by queues
 * secret timer

Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags)
to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like
with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like

-    write_lock(&ipfrag_lock);
+    write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock);

To address the issue with exporting the number of queues and
the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file
they are declared in, I introduce a couple of helpers.

    Date:   Wed Jul 18 21:49:10 2007 -0700

    [TG3]: Fix msi issue with kexec/kdump.

In making that change, the PCI latency timer and cache line size
registers were not restored after chip reset.  On the 5705, the
latency timer gets reset to 0 during chip reset and this causes
very poor performance.

Update version to 3.84.

861d048607 [IPV4]: Uninline netfilter okfns
Now that we don't pass double skb pointers to nf_hook_slow anymore, gcc
can generate tail calls for some of the netfilter hook okfn invocations,
so there is no need to inline the functions anymore. This caused huge
code bloat since we ended up with one inlined version and one out-of-line
version since we pass the address to nf_hook_slow.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

a030847e9f [NET]: Avoid copying TCP packets unnecessarily
TCP packets all have writable heads, that is, even though it's cloned, it is
writable up to the end of the TCP header.  This patch makes skb_checksum_help
aware of this fact by using skb_clone_writable and avoiding a copy for TCP.

I've also modified the BUG_ON tests to be unsigned.  The only case where this
makes a difference is if csum_start points to a location before skb->data.
Since skb->data should always include the header where the checksum field
is (and all currently callers adhere to that), this change is safe and may
uncover bugs later.

2843e7f7d6 Remove msic_dcr_read() in axon_msi.c
msic_dcr_read() doesn't really do anything useful, just replace it with
direct calls to dcr_read().

cdbd3865ac Use dcr_host_t.base in dcr_unmap()
With the base stored in dcr_host_t, there's no need for callers to pass
the dcr_n into dcr_unmap(). In fact this removes the possibility of them
passing the incorrect value, which would then be iounmap()'ed.

83f34df4e7 Add dcr_host_t.base in dcr_read()/dcr_write()
Now that all users of dcr_read()/dcr_write() add the dcr_host_t.base, we
can save them the trouble and do it in dcr_read()/dcr_write().

As some background to why we just went through all this jiggery-pokery,
benh sayeth:

 Initially the goal of the dcr_read/dcr_write routines was to operate like
 mfdcr/mtdcr which take absolute DCR numbers. The reason is that on 4xx
 hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of
 instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR
 inline.

 We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places
 where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may
 as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for
 device "instances" that can exist on 4xx and Axon type platforms and may
 be located at variable DCR offsets.
