Several compilers offer "long long" without claiming to support C99.
Considering how frequent __s64/__u64 are used our userspace headers are
anyway unusable without __s64/__u64 available.
Always offer __s64/__u64 to non-gcc non-C99 compilers - if they provide
"long long" that makes the headers compiling and if they don't they are
anyway screwed.

Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.
This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller.
As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are
now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are
measurable effects).
This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think
having more than two choices would be the better choice.
This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes
of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy

Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which
would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed
string.
In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed
string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to
accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no
interest in it and promptly throw it away.
This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases
where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..
I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.
I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.
Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has
indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at
the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host
immediately.
Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is
refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds
to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks
the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are
outgoing parts of the new buffer.
Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation:
Before:
network xmit 7859051 recv 236420
After:
network xmit 7858610 recv 118136

If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):
Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds
Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
that from 128 to 2048:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds
If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:
Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds
This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
have a separate "small buffer" queue.

Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO

preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)

Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs
Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
queued buffer and fail to transmit it.
However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
is a chance space might become available for it.

Suresh Siddha wants to fix a possible FPU leakage in error conditions,
but the fact that save/restore_i387() are inlines in a header file makes
that harder to do than necessary. So start off with an obvious cleanup.
This just moves the x86-64 version of save/restore_i387() out of the
header file, and moves it to the only file that it is actually used in:
arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c. So exposing it in a header file was wrong
to begin with.
[ Side note: I'd like to fix up some of the games we play with the
32-bit version of these functions too, but that's a separate
