This is a regression introduced by ceb90fa0 (xen/privcmd: add
PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 ioctl). It broke xentrace as it used
xc_map_foreign() instead of xc_map_foreign_bulk().
Most code-paths prefer the MMAPBATCH_V2, so this wasn't very obvious
that it broke. The return value is set early on to -EINVAL, and if all
goes well, the "set top bits of the MFN's" never gets called, so the
return value is still EINVAL when the function gets to the end, causing
the caller to think it went wrong (which it didn't!)
Now also including Andres "move the ret = -EINVAL into the error handling
path, as this avoids other similar errors in future.

Don't even momentarily set the pause status when starting the channel;

Stress testing the driver with multiple start/stop events causes
kirkwood-dma to report underrun errors (which used to cause the kernel
to lock up solidly). This is because kirkwood-i2s is not respecting
the restrictions imposed on clearing the 'pause' bit. Follow what the
spec says; the busy bit must be read as being clear twice before the
pause bit can be released. This solves the underruns.
However, it has been noticed that the busy bit occasionally does not
clear itself, hence the waiting is bounded to 5ms maximum to avoid a
new reason for the kernel to lockup.

Ignoring the real cause of the interrupt is not a good idea; this
behaviour has been observed to bring Dove platforms to silently
lockup. Instead, on error fall through to the normal interrupt
processing.
This is especially important on Dove platforms as errors are
handled separately, and allows us to clear down the real cause of
the interrupt.

Reservation locking currently always takes place under the LRU spinlock.
Hence, strictly there is no need for an atomic_cmpxchg call; we can use
atomic_read followed by atomic_write since nobody else will ever reserve
without the lru spinlock held.

reserve.

This function is intended to simplify locking around refcounting for
objects that can be looked up from a lookup structure, and which are
removed from that lookup structure in the object destructor.
Operations on such objects require at least a read lock around
lookup + kref_get, and a write lock around kref_put + remove from lookup
structure. Furthermore, RCU implementations become extremely tricky.
With a lookup followed by a kref_get_unless_zero *with return value check*
locking in the kref_put path can be deferred to the actual removal from
the lookup structure and RCU lookups become trivial.
