fix the 3D performance drop reported at:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328

fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.

The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.

We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

we could call find_max_pfn() directly instead of setup_memory() to get
max_pfn needed for mtrr trimming.

otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated...

[ mingo@elte.hu: both Thomas and me simulated a double call to
  setup_bootmem_allocator() and can confirm that it is a real bug
  which can hang in certain configs. It's not been reported yet but
  that is probably due to the relatively scarce nature of
  MTRR-trimming systems. ]

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

We pad every ACPI pathname component to four characters, so ".ISA." will

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

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.

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.
