The new Atmel AT91SAM9261 and AT91SAM9260 processors do not have the
internal RTC peripheral. This RTC driver is therefore
AT91RM9200-specific.
This patch renames rtc-at91.c to rtc-at91rm9200.c, and changes the name
of the configuration option.

Stabilize PIO mode transfers against a range of word sizes and FIFO
thresholds and fixes word size setup/override issues.
1) 16 and 32 bit DMA/PIO transfers broken due to timing differences.
2) Potential for bad transfer counts due to transfer size assumptions.
3) Setup function broken is multiple ways.
4) Per transfer bit_per_word changes break DMA setup in pump_tranfers.
5) False positive timeout are not errors.
6) Changes in pxa2xx_spi_chip not effective in calls to setup.
7) Timeout scaling wrong for PXA255 NSSP.
8) Driver leaks memory while busy during unloading.
Known issues:
SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled.
Testing:
This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word,
random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves
(3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test. It is robust in PIO mode, using any
combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which
internally computes the thresholds).
Much thanks to Ned Forrester for exhaustive reviews, fixes and testing.
The driver is substantially better for his efforts.

Ramiro Voicu hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in zeromap_pte_range: kernel
bugzilla 7645. Right: read_zero_pagealigned uses down_read of mmap_sem,
but another thread's racing read of /dev/zero, or a normal fault, can
easily set that pte again, in between zap_page_range and zeromap_page_range
getting there. It's been wrong ever since 2.4.3.
The simple fix is to use down_write instead, but that would serialize reads
of /dev/zero more than at present: perhaps some app would be badly
affected. So instead let zeromap_page_range return the error instead of
BUG_ON, and read_zero_pagealigned break to the slower clear_user loop in
that case - there's no need to optimize for it.
Use -EEXIST for when a pte is found: BUG_ON in mmap_zero (the other user of
zeromap_page_range), though it really isn't interesting there. And since
mmap_zero wants -EAGAIN for out-of-memory, the zeromaps better return that
than -ENOMEM.

2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64
systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an
IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait
flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus
to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang.
Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable)
and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes
the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog.
I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could
potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable
and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary.
The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of
which can actually occur:
(1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared. However, given
where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set. I don't think it
can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data().
Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue
is for it to be actually run.
If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer
because we haven't started the timer yet. Also, the pending bit can't be
cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its
timer started.
(2) The workqueue pointer might change. This can only happen in two cases:
(a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're
protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock.
(b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been
started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can
access it (the pending bit protects us).
Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so
it can be assigned instead.
So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay
in most cases.
The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated
using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_
test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was
set.
If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required -
equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.

Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed
in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src
mac of the request sender. In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible
for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the
incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the
netconsole application is used. While this is usually ok, it can lead
to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations
where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be
responded to using the mac address of the other). This patch reverts
the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent
back using the src address of the request sender.
