this changeset broke the "nohalt" kernel boot option.
  8df5a500

default_idle() is looking at new variable can_do_pal_halt.  However,
that variable did not get cleared upon "nohalt" boot option.  Result
is that "nohalt" option is ignored until perfmon is exercised.

The reason we have PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO is because
we want to protect badly documented motherboard PCI resources and thus
don't want to allocate new resources in low IO/MEM space.

However, if we have already discovered a PCI bridge with a specified
resource base, that should override that decision.

This change will allow us to move the "careful" region upwards without
resulting in problems allocating resources in low mappings.  This was
brought on by us having allocated a bus resource at 0x1000, conflicting
with a undocumented VAIO Sony PI resources.

CFQ will currently stall when using write barriers and the default
max_depth setting of 1, since we artificially need a depth of 2 when
pre-pending the first flush. So never deny the barrier request going to
the device.

This is a regression since 2.6.12, it was found in SUSE testing.

Recent changes (well, dating from 12 July) have broken cardbus on my
powerbook: I get 3 messages saying "no resource of type xxx available,
trying to continue", and if I plug in my wireless card, it complains
that there are no resources allocated to the card.  This all worked in
2.6.12.

Looking at the code in yenta_socket.c, function yenta_allocate_res,
it's obvious what is wrong: if we get to line 639 (i.e. there wasn't a
usable preassigned resource), we will always flow through to line 668,
which is the printk that I was seeing, even if a resource was
successfully allocated.  It looks to me as though there should be a
return statement after the two config_writel's in each of the 3
branches of the if statements, so that the function returns after
successfully setting up the resource.

The patch below adds these return statements, and with this patch,
cardbus works on my powerbook once again.

Ok, let's get it right this time

If CONFIG_NUMA is set, some POWER 4 systems will fail to boot.  This is
because of special processing needed to handle invalid node IDs (0xffff) on
POWER 4.  My previous patch to handle memory 'holes' within nodes forgot to
add this special case for POWER 4 in one place.

In reality, I'm not sure that configuring the kernel for NUMA on POWER 4 makes
much sense.  Are there POWER 4 based systems with NUMA characteristics that
are presented by the firmware?  But, distros want one kernel for all systems
so NUMA is on by default in their kernels.  The patch handles those cases.

The module code assumes noone will ever ask for a per-cpu area more than
SMP_CACHE_BYTES aligned.  However, as these cases show, gcc asks sometimes
asks for 32-byte alignment for the per-cpu section on a module, and if
CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is 4, we hit that BUG_ON().  This is obviously an
unusual combination, as there have been few reports, but better to warn
than die.

There was a scheduling problem of the m32r SMP kernel; A process rarely
stopped and gave no responding but the other process have been handled by
the other CPU still lives, then if we did something in the other terminal
or something like that, the stopped process came back to life and continued
its operation...  (ex.  LMbench: lat_sig)

In the m32r SMP kernel, a local-timer event is delivered by using an
IPI(inter processor interrupts); LOCAL_TIMER_IPI.  And a function
smp_send_timer() is prepared to send the LOCAL_TIMER_IPI from the current
CPU to the other CPUs.

The funtion smp_send_timer() was placed and used in do_IRQ() in
former times (before 2.6.10-rc3-mm1 kernel), however, it was
unintentionally removed when arch/m32r/kernel/irq.c was modified to
employ the generic hardirq framework (CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ) in
my previous patch.

  0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending
  MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated.

If there are devices that use interrupts over a suspend event, ACPI must
restore the PCI interrupt links on resume.  Anything else breaks any
device that hasn't been converted to the new (dubious) PM rules.

Drivers that need the irq free/re-aquire sequence can be done one by one
independently of this one.

There's no real guarantee that handle_mm_fault() will always be able to
break a COW situation - if an update from another thread ends up
modifying the page table some way, handle_mm_fault() may end up
requiring us to re-try the operation.

That's normally fine, but get_user_pages() ended up re-trying it as a
read, and thus a write access could in theory end up losing the dirty
bit or be done on a page that had not been properly COW'ed.

This makes get_user_pages() always retry write accesses as write
accesses by making "follow_page()" require that a writable follow has
the dirty bit set.  That simplifies the code and solves the race: if the
COW break fails for some reason, we'll just loop around and try again.
