Chris Metcalf 9f9c0382cd arch/tile: Add driver to enable access to the user dynamic network.
This network (the "UDN") connects all the cpus on the chip in a
wormhole-routed dynamic network.  Subrectangles of the chip can
be allocated by a "create" ioctl on /dev/hardwall, and then to access the
UDN in that rectangle, tasks must perform an "activate" ioctl on that
same file object after affinitizing themselves to a single cpu in
the region.  Sending a wormhole-routed message that tries to leave
that subrectangle causes all activated tasks to receive a SIGILL
(just as they would if they tried to access the UDN without first
activating themselves to a hardwall rectangle).

The original submission of this code to LKML had the driver
instantiated under /proc/tile/hardwall.  Now we just use a character
device for this, conventionally /dev/hardwall.  Some futures planning
for the TILE-Gx chip suggests that we may want to have other types of
devices that share the general model of "bind a task to a cpu, then
'activate' a file descriptor on a pseudo-device that gives access to
some hardware resource".  As such, we are using a device rather
than, for example, a syscall, to set up and activate this code.

As part of this change, the compat_ptr() declaration was fixed and used
to pass the compat_ioctl argument to the normal ioctl.  So far we limit
compat code to 2GB, so the difference between zero-extend and sign-extend
(the latter being correct, eventually) had been overlooked.
