From the 01408c4939 log message:
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.
< --- end cite --- >
This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

The broadcast functionality is only necessary when a local APIC is

resolves the mach-voyager breakage introduced by the tick managament

Fix it by moving the declaration into linux/interrupt.h instead.

This implementation has support for the concept of one separate ioport
address space by PCI domain. A pointer to the virtual address where
the port space of a domain has been mapped has been added to struct
pci_controller and systems should be fixed to fill in this value. For
single domain systems this will be the same value as passed to
set_io_port_base().
