The rationale is:
* use u32 consistently
* no need to do LCG on values from (better) get_random_bytes
* use more data from get_random_bytes for secondary seeding
* don't reduce state space on srandom32()
* enforce state variable initialization restrictions
Note: the second paper has a version of random32() with even longer period
and a version of random64() if needed.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.
The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.
This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.
The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
- free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
allocations should be made
- free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed
The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call. This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().
Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which
would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed
string.
In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed
string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to
accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no
interest in it and promptly throw it away.
This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases
where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

This lets each driver shrink their codespace by using N function calls to
a single (global) copy of those routines, instead of N inlined copies of
these functions per driver.
These routines aren't used in speed-critical code. Almost all callers are

Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of
architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant
amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data
received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in
a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs.
This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It
also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be
explicitly disabled for embedded systems.
This patch:
Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation.
Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required
additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel=
command-line parameter.
The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm
initialisation code will be moved here over time.

This is alternative implementation of sg content iterator introduced
by commit 83e7d317... from Pierre Ossman in next-20080716. As there's
already an sg iterator which iterates over sg entries themselves, name
this sg_mapping_iterator.
Slightly edited description from the original implementation follows.
Iteration over a sg list is not that trivial when you take into
account that memory pages might have to be mapped before being used.
Unfortunately, that means that some parts of the kernel restrict
themselves to directly accesible memory just to not have to deal with
the mess.
This patch adds a simple iterator system that allows any code to
easily traverse an sg list and not have to deal with all the details.
The user can decide to consume part of the iteration. Also, iteration
can be stopped and resumed later if releasing the kmap between
iteration steps is necessary. These features are useful to implement
piecemeal sg copying for interrupt drive PIO for example.

and friends - causing ftrace to lock up during bootup:
calling anon_inode_init+0x0/0x130
initcall anon_inode_init+0x0/0x130 returned 0 after 0 msecs
calling acpi_event_init+0x0/0x57
[ hard hang ]
So exclude the bitops facilities from tracing.
