The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.

If we loop more than once in gem_poll(), we'll
use more than the real budget in our gem_rx()
calls, thus eventually trigger the caller's
assertions in net_rx_action().
Subtract "work_done" from "budget" for the second
arg to gem_rx() to fix the bug.

Suppressing uevents turned out to be a bad idea as it screws up the

This is a regression that, for some odd reason, has gone unnoticed for

PNP_MAX_MEM and PNP_MAX_PORT are mainly used to size tables of PNP
device resources. In 2.6.24, we increased their values to accomodate
ACPI devices that have many resources:
2.6.23 2.6.24
------ ------
PNP_MAX_MEM 4 12
PNP_MAX_PORT 8 40
However, ISAPNP also used these constants as the size of parts of the
logical device register set. This register set is fixed by hardware,
so increasing the constants meant that we were reading and writing
unintended parts of the register set.
This patch changes ISAPNP to use the correct register set sizes (the
same values we used prior to 2.6.24).

While testing the virtio-net driver on KVM with TSO I noticed
that TSO performance with a 1500 MTU is significantly worse
compared to the performance of non-TSO with a 16436 MTU. The
packet dump shows that most of the packets sent are smaller
than a page.
Looking at the code this actually is quite obvious as it always
stop extending the packet if it's the first packet yet to be
sent and if it's larger than the MSS. Since each extension is
bound by the page size, this means that (given a 1500 MTU) we're
very unlikely to construct packets greater than a page, provided
that the receiver and the path is fast enough so that packets can
always be sent immediately.
The fix is also quite obvious. The push calls inside the loop
is just an optimisation so that we don't end up doing all the
sending at the end of the loop. Therefore there is no specific
reason why it has to do so at MSS boundaries. For TSO, the
most natural extension of this optimisation is to do the pushing
once the skb exceeds the TSO size goal.
This is what the patch does and testing with KVM shows that the
TSO performance with a 1500 MTU easily surpasses that of a 16436
MTU and indeed the packet sizes sent are generally larger than
16436.
I don't see any obvious downsides for slower peers or connections,
but it would be prudent to test this extensively to ensure that
those cases don't regress.

x86: reserve dma32 early for gart
The patch has a dependency on bootmem modifications which are not .25
material that late in the -rc cycle. The problem which is addressed by
the patch is limited to machines with 256G and more memory booted with
NUMA disabled. This is not a .25 regression and the audience which is
affected by this problem is very limited, so it's safer to do the
revert than pulling in intrusive bootmem changes right now.

Currently kernel images are limited to 8MB in size, and this causes
problems especially when enabling features that take up a lot of
kernel image space such as lockdep.
The code now will align the kernel image size up to 4MB and map that
many locked TLB entries. So, the only practical limitation is the
number of available locked TLB entries which is 16 on Cheetah and 64
on pre-Cheetah sparc64 cpus. Niagara cpus don't actually have hw
locked TLB entry support. Rather, the hypervisor transparently
provides support for "locked" TLB entries since it runs with physical
addressing and does the initial TLB miss processing.
Fully utilizing this change requires some help from SILO, a patch for
which will be submitted to the maintainer. Essentially, SILO will
only currently map up to 8MB for the kernel image and that needs to be
increased.
Note that neither this patch nor the SILO bits will help with network
booting. The openfirmware code will only map up to a certain amount
of kernel image during a network boot and there isn't much we can to
about that other than to implemented a layered network booting
facility. Solaris has this, and calls it "wanboot" and we may
implement something similar at some point.

A cast is needed in the 386 and 486 code because the type is a pointer. In
every other integer case the original cmpxchg code (and the cmpxchg_local
which has been copied from it) worked fine, but since we touch a pointer,
the type needs to be casted in the cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg macros.
The more recent code (586+) does not have this problem (the cast is already
there).
