Comparing with kernel 2.6.24, tbench result has regression with
2.6.25-rc1.
1) On 2 quad-core processor stoakley: 4%.
2) On 4 quad-core processor tigerton: more than 30%.

[IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_info
The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6. It's also currently
creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst. Therefore this patch
moves it from there into struct rt6_info.
Above patch changes the cache line alignment, especially member
__refcnt. I did a testing by adding 2 unsigned long pading before
lastuse, so the 3 members, lastuse/__refcnt/__use, are moved to next
cache line. The performance is recovered.
I created a patch to rearrange the members in struct dst_entry.
With Eric and Valdis Kletnieks's suggestion, I made finer arrangement.
1) Move tclassid under ops in case CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y. So
sizeof(dst_entry)=200 no matter if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y/n. I
tested many patches on my 16-core tigerton by moving tclassid to
different place. It looks like tclassid could also have impact on
performance. If moving tclassid before metrics, or just don't move
tclassid, the performance isn't good. So I move it behind metrics.
2) Add comments before __refcnt.
On 16-core tigerton:
If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y, the result with below patch is about 18%
better than the one without the patch;
If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=n, the result with below patch is about 30%
better than the one without the patch.
With 32bit 2.6.25-rc1 on 8-core stoakley, the new patch doesn't
introduce regression.
Thank Eric, Valdis, and David!

My recent hack to allocate the hash table under 1GB on cell was poorly
tested, *cough*. It turns out on blades with large amounts of memory we
fail to allocate the hash table at all. This is because RTAS has been
instantiated just below 768MB, and 0-x MB are used by the kernel,
leaving no areas that are both large enough and also naturally-aligned.
For the cell IOMMU hack the page tables must be under 2GB, so use that
as the limit instead. This has been tested on real hardware and boots
happily.

Subject: Export empty_zero_page
The empty_zero_page symbol is exported by most other architectures
(s390, ia64, x86, um), and an upcoming ext4 patch needs it because
ZERO_PAGE() references empty_zero_page, and we need it to zero out an
unitialized extents in ext4 files.

The iSeries viodasd drivers does some very strange things with
scatterlists, one of these causing a BUG_ON to trigger when
scatterlist debugging is enabled due to initializing the
scatterlist with memset instead of sg_init_table().
This fixes it by using sg_init_table(). The rest of the stuff
it does to that poor list is still pretty awful but it will work.
I may look into fixing things in a nicer way some other time.

The PMU backlight code would kick in during sleep/resume even on

A bogus test for unassigned resources that came from our 32-bit
PCI code ended up being "merged" by my previous patch series,
breaking some 64-bit setups where devices have legal resources
ending at 0xffffffff.
This fixes it by completely changing the test. We now test for
res->start == 0, as the generic code expects, and we also only
do so on platforms that don't have the PPC_PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag
set, as there are cases of pSeries and iSeries where it could
be a valid value and those can't reassign devices.

The pattern substitution rules were failing when used with zImage-dtb
targets. If zImage-dtb.initrd was selected, the pattern substitution
would generate "zImage.initrd-dtb" instead of "zImage-dtb.initrd" which
caused the build to fail.
This renames zImage-dtb to dtbImage to avoid the problem entirely.
By not using the zImage prefix then is no potential for namespace
collisions.

Some drivers (such as V4L2) have code that causes gcc to generate
calls to __ucmpdi2 when compiling for 32-bit powerpc, which results

Some BIOSes have PNP motherboard devices with resources that
partially overlap PCI BARs. The PNP system driver claims these
motherboard resources, which prevents the normal PCI driver from
requesting them later.
This patch disables the PNP resources that conflict with PCI BARs
so they won't be claimed by the PNP system driver.
Of course, this only works if PCI devices have already been enumerated.
Currently this is the case because PCI devices are discovered before
any PNP init via this path:
acpi_pci_root_init() -> acpi_pci_root_add() -> pci_acpi_scan_root() ->
pci_scan_bus_parented() -> pci_scan_child_bus() -> ...

Introduced in commit-id 9e2779fa28 and
ifdef'ed out for nommu in 8ca3ed87db, both
approaches end up breaking the nommu build in different ways. An
impressive feat for a 2-liner.
Current is_vmalloc_addr() users fall in to two camps:
- Determining whether to use vfree()/kfree()
- Whether to do vmlist traversal (only /proc/kcore).
Since we don't support /proc/kcore on nommu, that leaves the
vfree()/kfree() determination use cases. nommu vfree() happens to be a
wrapper to kfree() anyways, so is_vmalloc_addr() can always return 0
and end up with the right behaviour.

ipoib_tx_buf significantly larger, since the mapping member changed
from a single u64 to an array with MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 entries. This
means that allocating tx_rings with kzalloc() may fail because there
is not enough contiguous memory for the new, much bigger size. Fix
