SUN3 Intregister is not for enabling individual interrupts, but to enable
special interrupts. So using it for interrupt enable/disable was wrong.
The clock interrupt needs some special treatment to keep ticking.

Currently each sub-architecture has its own implementation if init_freemem().
There is two different cases that the various implementations deal with.
They either free the init memory, or they don't. We only need a single instance
to cover all cases.
The non-MMU version did some page alignment twidling, but this is not
neccessary. The current linker script enforces page alignment. It also
checked for CONFIG_RAMKERNEL, but this also is not necessary, the linker
script always keeps the init sections in RAM.
The MMU ColdFire version of free_initmem() was empty. There is no reason it
can't carry out the freeing of the init memory. So it is now changed and
tested to do this.
For the other MMU cases the code is the same. For the general Motorola MMU
case we free the init memory. For the SUN3 case we do nothing (though I
think it could safely free the init memory as well).

Some of the code in the existing mm/init_mm.c and mm/init_no.c files is
the same, and if we merge them back to a single file we can save some code
duplication.
Although the old mem_init() code for non-MMU was a little different than
the MMU version, it turns out we can use the same code. So I now we just
use the MMU mem_init() code for all. It also means we now get identical
console info messages for this code on kernel boot up.
So merge the two files back into a single file.

Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
"Several build/bug fixes for sparc, including:
1) Configuring a mix of static vs. modular sparc64 crypto modules
didn't work, remove an ill-conceived attempt to only have to build
the device match table for these drivers once to fix the problem.
Reported by Meelis Roos.
2) Make the montgomery multiple/square and mpmul instructions actually
usable in 32-bit tasks. Essentially this involves providing 32-bit
userspace with a way to use a 64-bit stack when it needs to.
3) Our sparc64 atomic backoffs don't yield cpu strands properly on
Niagara chips. Use pause instruction when available to achieve
this, otherwise use a benign instruction we know blocks the strand
for some time.
4) Wire up kcmp
5) Fix the build of various drivers by removing the unnecessary
blocking of OF_GPIO when SPARC.
6) Fix unintended regression wherein of_address_to_resource stopped
being provided. Fix from Andreas Larsson.
7) Fix NULL dereference in leon_handle_ext_irq(), also from Andreas
Larsson."

for sparc again
This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.
The bug was introduced in a850a7554442f08d3e910c6eeb4ee216868dda1e, "of/address:
add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so
that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle
counter instead.
The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the
architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other
event.
This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that
we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU
implementations.

The early mini sclp driver may be called in zArch mode either in
31 or 64 bit addressing mode.
If called in 31 bit addressing mode the new external interrupt psw
however would switch to 64 bit addressing mode. This would cause an
addressing exception within the interrupt handler, since the code
didn't expect the zArch/31 bit addressing mode combination.
Fix this by setting the new psw addressing mode bits so they fit
the current addressing mode.

While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op()
and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently
safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one,
copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may
collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change
between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could
discard that change).
Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of
the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't
require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the
individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.

The kernel_thread() changes for FRV don't work, and FRV fails to boot,

commit 02ce496f152df87be081a64796498942c433a2fd
Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Date: Tue Sep 18 22:18:51 2012 -0400
Subject: frv: split ret_from_fork, simplify kernel_thread() a lot
The problem is that the userspace registers are completely cleared when a
kernel thread is created and all subsequent user threads are then copied from
that. Unfortunately, however, the TBR and PSR registers are restored from the
pt_regs and the values they should be set to are clobbered by the memset.
Instead, copy across the old user registers as normal, and then merely alter
GR8 and GR9 in it if we're going to execute a kernel thread.

Fix the preemption handling in FRV code where the PREEMPT_ACTIVE value is
incorrectly loaded into the threadinfo flags rather than the threadinfo
preemption count.
Unfortunately, the code cannot be simply converted to use
preempt_schedule_irq() as is because FRV uses virtual interrupt disablement to
cut down on the cost of actually disabling interrupts and thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't actually enable interrupts.

After commit b3356bf0dbb349 (KVM: emulator: optimize "rep ins" handling),
the pieces of io data can be collected and write them to the guest memory
or MMIO together
Unfortunately, kvm splits the mmio access into 8 bytes and store them to
vcpu->mmio_fragments. If the guest uses "rep ins" to move large data, it
will cause vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow
The bug can be exposed by isapc (-M isapc):

As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
do it correctly.
This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
idle guest's from one host to another.
