Impact: fix crash on x86/UV
UV is the SGI "UltraViolet" machine, which is x86_64 based.
BAU is the "Broadcast Assist Unit", used for TLB shootdown in UV.
This patch removes the allocation and initialization of an unused table.
This table is left over from a development test mode. It is unused in
the present code.
And it was incorrectly initialized: 8 entries allocated but 17 initialized,
causing slab corruption.
This patch should go into 2.6.27 and 2.6.28 as well as the current tree.
Diffed against 2.6.28 (linux-next, 12/30/08)

The pda rework (commit 3461b0af02)
to remove static boot cpu pdas introduced a performance bug.
_boot_cpu_pda is the actual pda used by the boot cpu and is definitely
not "__read_mostly" and ended up polluting the read mostly section with
writes. This bug caused regression of about 8-10% on certain syscall
intensive workloads.

This makes the top-level function just allocate a single pc entry, and then
pass it down as a pointer to all the helper functions that also need one
of those "struct ide_atapi_pc" things. As far as I can tell, the use of
these things never overlaps each other, BUT I DID NOT CHECK VERY CLOSELY!
So I'm not guaranteeing this is correct, and I don't have the hardware. It
would be good for somebody who knows the code more, and has the hardware,
could please test this?
With this, ide-floppy still has fairly big stack usage, but instead of
idefloppy_ioctl [vmlinux]: 1208
ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]: 872
idefloppy_release [vmlinux]: 408
idefloppy_open [vmlinux]: 408
where those two first ones are at the very top of the list of stack users
for me, it's now
ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]: 404
ide_floppy_ioctl [vmlinux]: 364
ie they are still high, but they are no longer at the top.
Borislav: Since ide_floppy_get_capacity is passed as a function pointer to other
parts of the kernel (e.g., block layer) we need that ide_atapi_pc to be created
on stack. Also, redid stack users numbers above. The two functions missing from
Linus' original 'make stackusage' output are due to ide being
rewritten/reorganized atm.

We now tell block layer that there is still work to do using

* Tell the block layer that we are not done handling requests by using
blk_plug_device() in ide_do_request() (request handling function)
and ide_timer_expiry() (timeout handler) if the queue is not empty.
* Remove optimization which directly calls ide_do_request() for the next
queued command from the ide_intr() (IRQ handler) and ide_timer_expiry().
* Remove no longer needed IRQ masking from ide_do_request() - in case of
IDE ports needing serialization disable_irq_nosync()/enable_irq() was
used for the (possibly shared) IRQ of the other IDE port.
* Put the misplaced comment in the right place in ide_do_request().
* Drop no longer needed 'int masked_irq' argument from ide_do_request().
* Merge ide_do_request() into do_ide_request().
* Remove no longer needed IDE_NO_IRQ define.
While at it:
* Don't use HWGROUP() macro in do_ide_request().
* Use __func__ in ide_intr().
This patch reduces IRQ hadling latency for IDE and improves the system-wide
handling of shared IRQs (which should result in more timeout resistant and
stable IDE systems). It also makes it possible to do some further changes
later (i.e. replace some busy-waiting delays with sleeping equivalents).

Changes per review from Elias Oltmanns:

Impact: cleanup
This compiler warning:
arch/x86/mm/init_32.c:515: warning: unused variable 'pgd_base'
triggers because permanent_kmaps_init() is a CPP macro in the
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM case, that does not tell the compiler that the
'pgd_base' parameter is used.
Convert permanent_kmaps_init() (and set_highmem_pages_init()) to
C inline functions - which gives the parameter a proper type and
which gets rid of the compiler warning as well.

Impact: extra safety checks during transition
When CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK is set, the new cpumask_ operators only
use bits up to nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS. Using the old cpus_ operators
on these masks can mean accessing undefined bits.
After some discussion, Mike and I decided to err on the side of caution;
we zero the "undefined" bits in alloc_cpumask_var_node() until all the
old cpumask functions are removed.

Mainly changing cpumask_t to 'struct cpumask' and similar simple API

2) Use cpumask_var_t in taskstats_user_cmd().

Impact: Reduce kernel stack and memory usage, use new cpumask API.
Use cpumask_var_t for take_cpu_down() stack var, and frozen_cpus.
Note that notify_cpu_starting() can be called before core_initcall

Impact: Reduce kernel memory usage, use new cpumask API.
Avoid a static cpumask_t for prof_cpu_mask, and an on-stack cpumask_t

prof_cpu_mask is only allocated when profiling is on, but the NULL
checks are optimized out by gcc for the !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case.
Also removed some strange and unnecessary casts.

Impact: use new cpumask API.
rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want
a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. It
could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory,
but for the moment we use a bitmap.
(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK,
so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).
We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for
rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state().
