This is to fix bugzilla #10254. QSI cdrom attached to pata_sis as
secondary master appears as phantom device for the slave.
Interestingly, instead of not setting DRQ after IDENTIFY which
triggers NODEV_HINT, it aborts both IDENTIFY and IDENTIFY PACKET which
makes EH retry.
Modify EH such that it assumes no device is attached if both flavors
of IDENTIFY are aborted by the device. There really isn't much point
in retrying when the device actively aborts the commands.
While at it, convert NODEV detection message to ata_dev_printk() to
help debugging obscure detection problems.

The iWARP protocol limits RDMA read requests to a single scatter
entry. NFS/RDMA has code in rdma_read_max_sge() that is supposed to
limit the sge_count for RDMA read requests to 1, but the code to do
that is inside an #ifdef RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP block. In the mainline
kernel at least, RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP is an enum and not a
preprocessor #define, so the #ifdef'ed code is never compiled.
In my test of a kernel build with -j8 on an NFS/RDMA mount, this
problem eventually leads to trouble starting with:
svcrdma: Error posting send = -22
svcrdma : RDMA_READ error = -22
and things go downhill from there.
The trivial fix is to delete the #ifdef guard. The check seems to be
a remnant of when the NFS/RDMA code was not merged and needed to
compile against multiple kernel versions, although I don't think it
ever worked as intended. In any case now that the code is upstream
there's no need to test whether the RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP constant is
defined or not.
Without this patch, my kernel build on an NFS/RDMA mount using NetEffect
adapters quickly and 100% reproducibly failed with an error like:
ld: final link failed: Software caused connection abort
With the patch applied I was able to complete a kernel build on the
same setup.

It appears that 64-bit PCI resources cannot possibly ever have worked on
x86-32 even when the RESOURCES_64BIT config option was set, because any
driver that tried to [pci_]ioremap() the resource would have been unable
to do so because the high 32 bits would have been silently dropped on
the floor by the ioremap() routines that only used "unsigned long".
Change them to use "resource_size_t" instead, which properly encodes the
whole 64-bit resource data if RESOURCES_64BIT is enabled.

The "bestcomm-core" driver defines its of_match table as follows
static struct of_device_id mpc52xx_bcom_of_match[] = {
{ .type = "dma-controller", .compatible = "fsl,mpc5200-bestcomm", },
{ .type = "dma-controller", .compatible = "mpc5200-bestcomm", },
{},
};
so while registering the driver, the driver's probe function won't be
called, because the device tree node doesn't have a device_type
property. Thus the driver's bcom_engine structure won't be allocated.
Referencing this structure later causes observed Oops.
Checking bcom_eng pointer for NULL before referencing data pointed
by it prevents oopsing, but fec driver still doesn't work (because
of the lost bestcomm match and resulted task allocation failure).
Actually the compatible property exists and should match and so
the fec driver should work.
This removes .type = "dma-controller" from the bestcomm driver's
mpc52xx_bcom_of_match table to solve the problem.

On pSeries, the hypervisor doesn't let us map in the eHEA ethernet
adapter using 64k pages, and thus the ehea driver will fail if 64k
pages are configured. This works around the problem by always
using 4k pages for ioremap on pSeries (but not on other platforms).
A better fix would be to check whether the partition could ever
have an eHEA adapter, and only force 4k pages if it could, but this
will do for 2.6.25.

If an I2C interrupt happens between disabling interface clock
and functional clock, the interrupt handler will produce an
external abort on non-linefetch error when trying to access
driver registers while interface clock is disabled.
This patch fixes the problem by saving and disabling i2c-omap
interrupt before turning off the clocks. Also disable functional
clock before the interface clock as suggested by Paul Walmsley.
Patch also renames enable/disable_clocks functions to unidle/idle
functions. Note that the driver is currently not taking advantage
of the idle interrupts. To use the idle interrupts, driver would
have to enable interface clock based on the idle interrupt
and dev->idle flag.
This patch has been tested in linux-omap tree with various omaps.

PNP_MAX_MEM and PNP_MAX_PORT are mainly used to size tables of PNP
device resources. In 2.6.24, we increased their values to accomodate
ACPI devices that have many resources:
2.6.23 2.6.24
------ ------
PNP_MAX_MEM 4 12
PNP_MAX_PORT 8 40
However, ISAPNP also used these constants as the size of parts of the
logical device register set. This register set is fixed by hardware,
so increasing the constants meant that we were reading and writing
unintended parts of the register set.
This patch changes ISAPNP to use the correct register set sizes (the
same values we used prior to 2.6.24).

While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed
that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse
compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The
packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller
than a page.
Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always
stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be
sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is
bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're
very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided
that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can
always be sent immediately.
The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop
is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the
sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific
reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the
most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing
once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal.
This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the
TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436
MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than
16436.
I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections,
but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that
those cases don't regress.

The patch has a dependency on bootmem modifications which are not .25
material that late in the -rc cycle. The problem which is addressed by
the patch is limited to machines with 256G and more memory booted with
NUMA disabled. This is not a .25 regression and the audience which is
