This patch series introduces a cgroup subsystem that utilizes the swsusp
freezer to freeze a group of tasks. It's immediately useful for batch job
management scripts. It should also be useful in the future for
implementing container checkpoint/restart.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a cgroup file
named freezer.state. Reading freezer.state will return the current state
of the cgroup. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
This patch:
The first step in making the refrigerator() available to all
architectures, even for those without power management.
The purpose of such a change is to be able to use the refrigerator() in a
new control group subsystem which will implement a control group freezer.

This requires three changes:
1) Remove !SPARC restriction in Kconfig.
2) Move Sparc specific serial drivers before 8250, so that serial
console devices don't change names on us, even if 8250 finds
devices.
3) Since the Sparc specific serial drivers try to use the
same major/minor device namespace as 8250, some coordination
is necessary. Use the sunserial_*() layer routines to allocate
minor number space within TTY_MAJOR when CONFIG_SPARC.
This has no effect on other platforms.
Thanks to Josip Rodin for bringing up this issue and testing
plus debugging various revisions of this patch.

1) set_brkpt() is referenced by nothing and hasn't been used by anyone
to my knowledge for many many years. So just delete it.
2) add extern decl for do_sparc64_fault() in asm/pgtable_64.h

As sparse warns, without this struct page pointer subtraction is
extremely expensive, and this is a pretty common operation in
fast paths.
With this define struct page becomes 64 bytes which makes for a
simple subtract and shift, instead of a costly divide or reciprocol
multiply.

It is just used as a parent to encapsulate two PBM objects.
But that layout is only really relevant and necessary for
psycho PCI controllers, which unlike all the others share
a single IOMMU instance between sibling PCI busses.

Three main things:
1) Make prober an arch initcall instead of using hard-coded invocation
from paging_init()
2) Shrink table size, the fpu ident stuff was never used.
3) Use named struct initialized in table.

While doing some easy cleanups on the sparc code I noticed that the
CONFIG_SUN4 code seems to be worse than the rest - there were some
"I don't know how it should work, but the current code definitely cannot
work." places.
And while I have seen people running Linux on machines like a
SPARCstation 5 a few years ago I don't recall having seen sun4
machines, even less ones running Linux.

This driver is now limited to just doing the basic clock board and FHC
chip initialization and registering the platform devices for the
per-board LEDs, which are driven by the new LEDS_STARFIRE driver.
The IRQ register handling is already confined purely to the device
tree code.

These have no dependencies on the EBUS probing layer, the clients
setup the registers and all of those details. The EBUS DMA layer
just programs and manages the DMA controller found in EBUS.

Also, make these routines take a "struct device" or no
