rcu: Add control variables to lockdep_rcu_dereference() diagnostics
Add the values of rcu_scheduler_active() and debug_locks() to
the lockdep_rcu_dereference() output to help diagnose RCU
lockdep splats that occur shortly after the scheduler starts.
rcu: Use wrapper function instead of exporting tasklist_lock
Lockdep-RCU commit d11c563d exported tasklist_lock, which is not
a good thing. This patch instead exports a function that uses
lockdep to check whether tasklist_lock is held.

The following patch defines sigcontext ABI of ColdFire. Due to ISA
restrictions ColdFire needs different rt_sigreturn trampoline.
And due to ColdFire FP registers being 8-bytes instead of 12-bytes on
m68k, sigcontext and fpregset structures should be updated.
Regarding the sc_fpstate[16+6*8] field, it would've been enough 16
bytes to store ColdFire's FP state. To accomodate GLIBC's libSegFault
it would'be been enough 6*8 bytes (room for the 6 non-call-clobbered
FP registers). I set it to 16+6*8 to provide some extra space for any
future changes in the ColdFire FPU.

MIPS: Cobalt: convert legacy port addresses to GT-64111 bus addresses
The GT-64111 PCI host bridge has no address translation mechanism, so
it can't generate legacy port accesses. This quirk fixes legacy device
port resources to contain the bus addresses actually generated by the
GT-64111.
I think this is the approach Ben Herrenschmidt suggested long ago:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119733290624544&w=2
This allows us to remove the IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED hack from
pcibios_fixup_device_resources(), which converts bus addresses to CPU
addresses. IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED denotes resources that can't be moved;
it has nothing to do with converting bus to CPU addresses.

MIPS: Alchemy: use 36bit addresses for PCMCIA resources.
On Alchemy the PCMCIA area lies at the end of the chips 36bit system bus
area. Currently, addresses at the far end of the 32bit area are assumed
to belong to the PCMCIA area and fixed up to the real 36bit address before
being passed to ioremap().
A previous commit enabled 64 bit physical size for the resource datatype on
Alchemy and this allows to use the correct 36bit addresses when registering
the PCMCIA sockets.
This patch removes the 32-to-36bit address fixup and registers the Alchemy
demo board pcmcia socket with the correct 36bit physical addresses.

MIPS: Cobalt: Fix theoretical port aliasing issue
Because the VIA SuperIO chip only decodes 24 bits of address space but port
address space currently being configured as 32MB there is the theoretical
possibility of aliases within the I/O port address range.
The complicated solution is to reserve all address range that potencially
could cause such aliases. But with the PCI spec limiting port allocations
for devices to a maximum of 256 bytes 16MB of port address space already is
way more than one would ever expect to be used so we just reduce the port
space to 16MB.

The branching forward to .subsection 2 on sc failure slows down the

Since we are now working on naturally aligned u16 values, we can get

Staging: Octeon: Free transmit SKBs in a timely manner
If we wait for the once-per-second cleanup to free transmit SKBs,
sockets with small transmit buffer sizes might spend most of their
time blocked waiting for the cleanup.
Normally we do a cleanup for each transmitted packet. We add a
watchdog type timer so that we also schedule a timeout for 150uS after
a packet is transmitted. The watchdog is reset for each transmitted
packet, so for high packet rates, it never expires. At these high
rates, the cleanups are done for each packet so the extra watchdog
initiated cleanups are neither needed nor triggered.

Staging: Octeon: Run phy bus accesses on a workqueue.
When directly accessing a phy, we must acquire the mdio bus lock. To
do that we cannot be in interrupt context, so we need to move these
operations to a workqueue.
