Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.
Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:
1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
D-cache aliasing platforms. With some build time
calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.
2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set. Some simple looping
logic clears that up too.
3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.
There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64
specific problem.

These messages were very useful when bringing up the
OBP based PCI device scan code, but it's just a lot
of noise every bootup now especially on big machines.

Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:acpi_find_rsdp
(between 'acpi_get_sysname' and 'acpi_request_vector')
acpi_get_sysname() needs to call the __init function acpi_find_rsdp, but it
doesn't have the __init attribute itself, hence the warning. Luckily it is
only called from machvec_init() which has __init attribute, so the fix
is to define acpi_get_sysname() as __init too.

Unwinding a running task has proven problematic.
In one instance, the running task was attempting to unwind itself and
received an interrupt between when get_wchan allocated local variables on
the stack and when unw_init_from_blocked_task was called which resulted
in unw_init_frame_info to place this tasks task_struct pointer over the
switch stack's ar_bspstore entry.

The vsyscall time() function basically returns the second portion of
xtime directly. This however means that there is about a ticks worth of
time each second where time() will return a second value less then what
gettimeofday() does.
Additionally, this window where vtime() is behind vgettimeofday() grows
when dynticks is enabled, so its probably good to get this in before
dynticks lands.
Big thanks to Sripathi for noticing this issue and creating a test case
to work with!
This patch changes the vtime() implemenation to call vgettimeofday(),
much as syscall time() implementation calls gettimeofday().

Glen Turner reported that writing LFCR rather than the more
traditional CRLF causes issues with some terminals.
Since this afflicts many serial drivers, extract the common code to a

supply a "putchar" function.

There's a forum thread at
https://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/forum/?action=ForumBrowse&_forum_action=MessageReply&message_id=24741
which has a testcase involving signal handling that crashes quite readily.
Inspecting the code I believe what happens is that signal handling can become
confused when it is invoked on return from an interrupt, if the contents of
P0 and R0 at the time of the interrupt happen to be such that P0 is larger
than zero (indicating to the signal code that we're in a syscall), and R0
happens to have a value of something like -EINTR or -ERESTARTSYS.
Fixed by setting orig_p0 to -1 if we're returning from an interrupt. The
testcase now seems to run without problems.
