Improve and bugfix CRIS v10 fast timers.
- irq_handler_t now only takes two arguments.
- Keep interrupts disabled as long as we have a reference to the
fasttimer list and only enable them while doing the callback.
del_fast_timer may be called from other interrupt context.
- Fix bug where debug code could return without calling local_irq_restore.
- Use jiffies instead of usec (change from struct timeval to fasttime_t).
- Don't initialize static variables to zero.
- Remove obsolete #ifndef DECLARE_WAITQUEUE code.
- fast_timer_init should be __initcall.
- Change status/debug variables to unsigned.
- Remove CVS log and CVS id.

New and improved serial driver for CRISv10, take three, with improvements
suggested by Jiri Slaby.
- Call wait_event_interruptible with a _correct_ and sensible condition.
- Removed superfluous test of info->flags & ASYNC_CLOSING, since that is done
by wait_event_interruptible.
- Moved common code for deregistering DMA and IRQ to deinit_port function.
- Use setup_timer when initializing flush_timer.
- Convert bit-field for uses_dma_in and uses_dma_out to regular bytes.
- Removed CVS tags.
- Removed defines and comments for CRIS_BUF_SIZE and TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE
(no longer used).
- Cleaned up code to pass checkpatch.
- Add crisv10.h header file.
- Merge of CRISv10 from Axis internal CVS.

New (updated) version of ethernet driver for cris v10.
- First steps to simplify and make the MII code more similar
between the etrax100 and etraxfs ports.
- Start the transmit queue before enabling tx interrupts
to avoid race with the first frame.
- Flip the comparition statement to stick to physical addresses
to avoid phys_to_virt mapping a potential null pointer.
This was not an error but the change simplifies debugging
of address-space mappings.
- Made myPrevRxDesc local to e100_rx since it was only used there.
Fixed out of memory handling in e100_rx. If dev_alloc_skb() fails
persistently the system is hosed anyway but at least it won't
loop in an interrupt handler.
- Correct some code formatting issues.

Fix regression introduced with d435d862ba
("cpu hotplug: mce: fix cpu hotplug error handling").
A CPU which was not brought up during boot (using maxcpus and
additional_cpus parameters) couldn't be onlined anymore. For such a CPU it
seemed that MCE was not supported during CPU_UP_PREPARE-time which caused
mce_cpu_callback to return NOTIFY_BAD to notifier_call_chain. To fix this
we:
- call mce_create_device for CPU_ONLINE event (instead of CPU_UP_PREPARE),
- avoid mce_remove_device() for the CPU that is not correctly initialized
by mce_create_device() failure,
- make mce_cpu_callback always return NOTIFY_OK for CPU_ONLINE event.
Because CPU_ONLINE callback return value is always ignored.

Lockdep reports a circular locking dependency in the hibernate code
because
- during system boot hibernate code (from an initcall) locks pm_mutex
and then a sysfs buffer mutex via name_to_dev_t
- during regular operation hibernate code locks pm_mutex under a
sysfs buffer mutex because it's called from sysfs methods.
The deadlock can never happen because during initcall invocation nothing
can write to sysfs yet. This removes the lockdep report by marking the
initcall locking as being in a different class.

In __do_IRQ(), the normal case is that IRQ_DISABLED is checked and if set
the handler (handle_IRQ_event()) is not called.
Earlier in __do_IRQ(), if IRQ_PER_CPU is set the code does not check
IRQ_DISABLED and calls the handler even though IRQ_DISABLED is set. This
behavior seems unintentional.
One user encountering this behavior is the CPE handler (in
arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c). When the CPE handler encounters too many CPEs
(such as a solid single bit error), it sets up a polling timer and disables
the CPE interrupt (to avoid excessive overhead logging the stream of single
bit errors). disable_irq_nosync() is called which sets IRQ_DISABLED. The
IRQ_PER_CPU flag was previously set (in ia64_mca_late_init()). The net
result is the CPE handler gets called even though it is marked disabled.
If the behavior of not checking IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is set is
intentional, it would be worthy of a comment describing the intended
behavior. disable_irq_nosync() does call chip->disable() to provide a
chipset specifiec interface for disabling the interrupt, which avoids this
issue when used.

This is my trivial patch to swat innumerable little bugs with a single
blow.
After some intensive review (my apologies for not having gotten to this
sooner) what we have looks like a good base to build on with the current
pid namespace code but it is not complete, and it is still much to simple
to find issues where the kernel does the wrong thing outside of the initial
pid namespace.
Until the dust settles and we are certain we have the ABI and the
implementation is as correct as humanly possible let's keep process ID
namespaces behind CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.
Allowing us the option of fixing any ABI or other bugs we find as long as
they are minor.
Allowing users of the kernel to avoid those bugs simply by ensuring their
kernel does not have support for multiple pid namespaces.

sys_open / sys_read were used in the early 1.2 days to load firmware from
disk inside drivers. Since 2.0 or so this was deprecated behavior, but
several drivers still were using this. Since a few years we have a
request_firmware() API that implements this in a nice, consistent way.
Only some old ISA sound drivers (pre-ALSA) still straggled along for some
time.... however with commit c2b1239a9f the
last user is now gone.
This is a good thing, since using sys_open / sys_read etc for firmware is a
very buggy to dangerous thing to do; these operations put an fd in the
process file descriptor table.... which then can be tampered with from
other threads for example. For those who don't want the firmware loader,
filp_open()/vfs_read are the better APIs to use, without this security
issue.
The patch below marks sys_open and sys_read unused now that they're
really not used anymore, and for deletion in the 2.6.25 timeframe.

We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them
dirty all the time.
It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean,
without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure shrink_zone runs
and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a check for
buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no releasepage
callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers has now a
special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all
buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case.
The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.
