Impact: standardize IO on cached ops
On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:
30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.
The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.
The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.
Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

There was a theoretical possibility to a race between arming a page in
post_kmmio_handler() and disarming the page in
release_kmmio_fault_page():
cpu0 cpu1
------------------------------------------------------------------
mmiotrace shutdown
enter release_kmmio_fault_page
fault on the page
disarm the page
disarm the page
handle the MMIO access
re-arm the page
put the page on release list
remove_kmmio_fault_pages()
fault on the page
page not known to mmiotrace
fall back to do_page_fault()
*KABOOM*
(This scenario also shows the double disarm case which is allowed.)
Fixed by acquiring kmmio_lock in post_kmmio_handler() and checking
if the page is being released from mmiotrace.

Blindly setting _PAGE_PRESENT in disarm_kmmio_fault_page() overlooks the
possibility, that the page was not present when it was armed.
Make arm_kmmio_fault_page() store the previous page presence in struct
kmmio_fault_page and use it on disarm.

Print a full warning once, if arming or disarming a page fails.
Also, if initial arming fails, do not handle the page further. This
avoids the possibility of a page failing to arm and then later claiming
to have handled any fault on that page.

Some Toshiba laptops have another ALC268 codec on slot#3 that conflicts
with the primary codec. The codec#3 is for the digital I/O, and should
be fixed by the driver, but it'd need a bunch of changes.
So, let's fix the probe problem temporarily by setting the default
probe_mask value.

The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet
compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC
subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking
it up. This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround.
Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094
But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more
than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c. See also

This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
to be much better.
I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.
Original description:
This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

The netpoll entry checks are required to ensure that we don't
receive normal packets when invoked via netpoll. Unfortunately
it only ever worked for the netif_receive_skb/netif_rx entry
points. The VLAN (and subsequently GRO) entry point didn't
have the check and therefore can trigger all sorts of weird
problems.
This patch adds the netpoll check to all entry points.
I'm still uneasy with receiving at all under netpoll (which
apparently is only used by the out-of-tree kdump code). The
reason is it is perfectly legal to receive all data including
headers into highmem if netpoll is off, but if you try to do
that with netpoll on and someone gets a printk in an IRQ handler
you're going to get a nice BUG_ON.

Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix
Commit c132937556 tried to clean up
bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct. Before the commit,
the followings were broken.
* Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch
preference.
* reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into
reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is
not preference here. The region specified MUST fall into the
specified region; otherwise, it will panic.
After the commit,
* If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback
to whatever is available. Instead, it simply failed allocation.
There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and
still keep things simple for archs. Plus, all that arch wants is a
way to prefer certain node over another.
This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and
add alloc_bootmem_core() instead. If necessary, arch can define
bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all
allocation information and returns the preferred node. bootmem
generic code will always try the preferred node first and then
fallback to other nodes as usual.
