[PATCH] mspec driver Implement the special memory driver (mspec) based on the do_no_pfn approach. The driver is currently used only on SN2 hardware with special fetchop support but could be beneficial on other architectures using the uncached mode.

[PATCH] mspec driver build fix Fix MSPEC driver to build for non SN2 enabled configs as the driver should work in cached and uncached modes (no fetchop) on these systems. In addition make MSPEC select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR, which is required for it and move it to arch/ia64/Kconfig to avoid warnings on non ia64 architectures running allmodconfig. Once the Kconfig code is fixed, we can move it back.

[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3 Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.
