The zone table is mostly not needed. If we have a node in the page flags
then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be
already in the cpu cache.
In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to
access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field. In all of
the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table.
The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit
into the page flags. In that case we make sparse generate a table that
maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number.
This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit
NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be
obtained without a cache miss.
For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on
the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node.
There is some memory saving by removing zone_table. The main benefit is to
reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones.
Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

- s/freeliest/freelist/ spelling fix
- Check for NULL *z zone seems useless - even if it could happen, so
what? Perhaps we should have a check later on if we are faced with an
allocation request that is not allowed to fail - shouldn't that be a
serious kernel error, passing an empty zonelist with a mandate to not
fail?
- Initializing 'z' to zonelist->zones can wait until after the first
get_page_from_freelist() fails; we only use 'z' in the wakeup_kswapd()
loop, so let's initialize 'z' there, in a 'for' loop. Seems clearer.
- Remove superfluous braces around a break
- Fix a couple errant spaces
- Adjust indentation on the cpuset_zone_allowed() check, to match the
lines just before it -- seems easier to read in this case.
- Add another set of braces to the zone_watermark_ok logic
From: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>
Backout one item from a previous "memory page_alloc minor cleanups" patch.
Until and unless we are certain that no one can ever pass an empty zonelist
to __alloc_pages(), this check for an empty zonelist (or some BUG
equivalent) is essential. The code in get_page_from_freelist() blow ups if
passed an empty zonelist.

OpenVZ Linux kernel team has found a problem with mounting in compat mode.
Simple command "mount -t smbfs ..." on Fedora Core 5 distro in 32-bit mode
leads to oops:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: compat_sys_mount+0xd6/0x290

The problem is that data_page pointer can be NULL, so we should skip data

__do_IRQ() is needed only by irq handlers that can't use
default handlers defined in kernel/irq/chip.c.
For others platforms there's no need to compile this function
since it won't be used. For those platforms this patch defines
GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ symbol which is used exactly for
this purpose.
Futhermore for platforms which do not use __do_IRQ(), end()
method which is part of the 'irq_chip' structure is not used.
This patch simply removes this method in this case.

I was playing with blackfin when i hit a neat bug ... doing an open() on a
directory and then passing that fd to mmap() would cause the kernel to hang
after poking into the code a bit more, i found that
mm/nommu.c:validate_mmap_request() checks the length and if it is 0, just
returns the address ... this is in stark contrast to mmu's
mm/mmap.c:do_mmap_pgoff() where it returns -EINVAL for 0 length requests ...
i then noticed that some other parts of the logic is out of date between the
two funcs, so perhaps that's the easy fix ?

The following moves the creation of IPR interupts into setup-7750.c
and updates a few other things to make it all work after the "Drop
CPU subtype IRQ headers" commit. It boots and runs fine on my titan
board.
- adds an ipr_idx to the ipr_data and uses a function in the subtype
code to calculate the address of the IPR registers
- adds a function to enable individual interrupt mode for externals
in the subtype code and calls that from the titan board code
instead of doing it directly.
- I changed the shift in the ipr_data to be the actual # of bits to
shift, instead of the numnber / 4 - made it easier to match with
the manual.

Previously this was using a static pgd shift in the reporting
code, simply flip this to PGDIR_SHIFT which does the right

get_TTB() for fetching the TTB, rather than the open coded

The end of the store queue bitmap is miscalculated when searching
