Ensure all DMA engine drivers initialize their cookies in the same way,
so that they all behave in a similar fashion. This means their first
issued cookie will be 2 rather than 1, and will increment to INT_MAX
before returning 1 and starting over.

Commit 0793448 "DMAENGINE: generic channel status v2" changed the interface for
how dma channel progress is retrieved. It inadvertently exported an internal
helper function ioat_tx_status() instead of ioat_dma_tx_status(). The latter
polls the hardware to get the latest completion state, while the helper just
evaluates the current state without touching hardware. The effect is that we
end up waiting for completion timeouts or descriptor allocation errors before
the completion state is updated.

On some platforms (MacPro3,1) the BIOS assigns the ioatdma device to the
incorrect iommu causing faults when the driver initializes. Add a quirk
to catch this misconfiguration and try falling back to untranslated
operation (which works in the MacPro3,1 case).
Assuming there are other platforms with misconfigured iommus teach the
ioatdma driver to treat initialization failures as non-fatal (just fail
the driver load and emit a warning instead of triggering a BUG_ON).
This can be classified as a boot regression since 2.6.32 on affected
platforms since the ioatdma module did not autoload prior to that
kernel.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata

The hardware automatically disables further interrupts after each event
until rearmed. This allows a delay to be injected between the occurence
of the interrupt and the running of the cleanup routine. The delay is
scaled by the descriptor backlog and then written to the INTRDELAY
register which specifies the number of microseconds to hold off
interrupt delivery after an interrupt event occurs. According to
powertop this reduces the interrupt rate from ~5000 intr/s to ~150
intr/s per without affecting throughput (simple dd to a raid6 array).

When continuing a pq calculation the driver needs 3 extra sources. The
driver can perform a 3 source calculation with a single descriptor, but
needs an extended descriptor to process up to 8 sources in one
operation. However, in the p-disabled case only one extra source is
needed. When continuing a p-disabled operation there are occasions
(i.e. 0 < src_cnt % 8 < 3) where the tail operation does not need an
extended descriptor. Properly account for this fact otherwise invalid
'dmacount' values will be written to hardware usually causing the
channel to halt with 'invalid descriptor' errors.

The completion of a pq operation is notified with a null descriptor
appended to the end of the chain. This descriptor needs to be visible
