Currently, hpte_need_flush() only correctly flushes the given address for normal pages. Callers for hugepages are required to mask the address themselves. But hpte_need_flush() already looks up the page sizes for its own reasons, so this is a rather silly imposition on the callers. This patch alters it to mask based on the pagesize it has looked up itself, and removes the awkward masking code in the hugepage caller.

When running Active Memory Sharing, the Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) may mark some pages as "loaned" with the hypervisor. Periodically, the CMM will query the hypervisor for a loan request, which is a single signed value. When kexec'ing into a kdump kernel, the CMM driver in the kdump kernel is not aware of the pages the previous kernel had marked as "loaned", so the hypervisor and the CMM driver are out of sync. Fix the CMM driver to handle this scenario by ignoring requests to decrease the number of loaned pages if we don't think we have any pages loaned. Pages that are marked as "loaned" which are not in the balloon will automatically get switched to "active" the next time we touch the page. This also fixes the case where totalram_pages is smaller than min_mem_mb, which can occur during kdump.

get_irq_desc() is a powerpc-specific version of irq_to_desc(). That is reason enough to remove it, but it also doesn't know about sparse irq_desc support which irq_to_desc() does (when we enable it).

Rather than open-coding our own check, use irq_has_action() to check if an irq has an action - ie. is "in use". irq_has_action() doesn't take the descriptor lock, but it shouldn't matter - we're just using it as an indicator that the irq is in use. disable_irq_nosync() will take the descriptor lock before doing anything also.

The irq_desc array consumes quite a lot of space, and for systems that don't need or can't have 512 irqs it's just wasted space. The first 16 are reserved for ISA, so the minimum of 32 is really 16 - and no one has asked for more than 512 so leave that as the maximum.

The CHRP code has some fishy timer based code to scan the RTAS event log, which uses a 1KB stack buffer and doesn't even use the results. The pSeries code as a nicer daemon that allows userspace to read the event log and basically uses the same RTAS interface This patch moves rtasd.c out of platform/pseries and makes it usable by CHRP, after removing the old crufty event log mechanism in there. The nvram logging part of the daemon is still only available on 64-bit since the underlying nvram management routines aren't currently shared.

Just as with kexec, hibernation may fail even on well-tested platforms: some PCI device, a driver of which doesn't play well with hibernation, is enough to break resuming. Hibernation code is not much platform dependent, and hiding features only because these were not verified on a particular hardware is counterproductive: we just prevent the features from being widely tested. For example, with this patch I just tested hibernation on a MPC83xx board, and it works quite well, modulo a few drivers that need some fixing. So, let's make it possible to select hibernation support for all PowerPCs, then let's wait for any possible bug reports, and actually fix (or just collect ;-) the bugs instead of hiding them. If some platforms really can't stand hibernation, we can make a blacklist, with proper comments why exactly hibernation doesn't work, whether it is possible to fix, and what needs to be done to fix it. CONFIG_HIBERNATION is still =n by default, so the commit doesn't change anything apart from ability to set it to =y. I'm not sure if EXPERIMENTAL dependency is needed, I'd rather not add it for a few reasons: 1) It doesn't matter much, for distro kernels user has no clue that some feature is experimental. Majority of defconfigs enable EXPERIMENTAL anyway (90 vs. 4, which, btw, means that EXPERIMENTAL is overused in Kconfigs); 2) EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing for features that change default behaviour of a kernel, while for hibernation user has to explicitly issue 'echo disk > /sys/power/state' to trigger any hibernation bugs; 3) Per init/Kconfig, EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing to scare and discourage users from 'widespread use of a feature', while we want to encourage that use.

The non-debug case in ps3/mm.c uses pr_debug(), so that the compiler still does type checks etc. and doesn't complain about unused variables in the non-debug case.
