...but I could not find it documented anywhere in the sources.
This patch adds it to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

On many platforms (including pSeries), smp_ops->message_pass is always
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass. This changes arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c so
that if smp_ops->message_pass is NULL, it calls smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass
directly.
This means that a platform doesn't need to set both .message_pass and
.cause_ipi, only one of them. It is a slight performance improvement
in that it gets rid of an indirect function call at the expense of a
predictable conditional branch.

Certain revisions of the vbios on DCE3.2 cards have a bug
in the transmitter control table which prevents duallink from
being enabled properly on some cards. The action switch statement
jumps to the wrong offset for the OUTPUT_ENABLE action. The fix
is to use the ENABLE action rather than the OUTPUT_ENABLE action
on the affected cards. In fixed version of the vbios, both
actions jump to the same offset, so the change should be safe.

The comment for the skb_tx_timestamp() function suggests calling it just
after a buffer is released to the hardware for transmission. However,
for drivers that free the buffer in an ISR, this produces a race between
the time stamp code and the ISR. This commit changes the comment to advise
placing the call just before handing the buffer over to the hardware.

Andy's last device_cache patches, already take an extra
reference on the newly inserted device_id. So we can remove it
from obj-io.
Without this patch the device_ids are leaked.
Andy's patches are not in Linus tree yet. So I'm not sure if they are
scheduled for this Kernel or the next. This patch should be added as
part of these.

Commit 916f676f8d started reserving boot service code since some systems
require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called.
However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions.
The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the
conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position,
but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions
which can be reserved.
