5aee87c43e [SPARC64]: Fix PCI memory space root resource on Hummingbird.
For Hummingbird PCI controllers, we should create the root
PCI memory space resource as the full 4GB area, and then
allocate the IOMMU DMA translation window out of there.

The old code just assumed that the IOMMU DMA translation base
to the top of the 4GB area was unusable.  This is not true on
many systems such as SB100 and SB150, where the IOMMU DMA
translation window sits at 0xc0000000->0xdfffffff.

So what would happen is that any device mapped by the firmware
at the top section 0xe0000000->0xffffffff would get remapped
by Linux somewhere else leading to all kinds of problems and
boot failures.

While we're here, report more cases of OBP resource assignment
conflicts.  The only truly valid ones are ROM resource conflicts.

b0a779debd [POWERPC] Make sure interrupt enable gets restored properly
The lazy IRQ disable patch missed a couple of places where the
interrupt enable flags need to be restored correctly.  First, we
weren't restoring the paca->hard_enabled flag on interrupt exit.
Instead of saving it on entry, we compute it from the MSR_EE bit
in the MSR we are restoring at exit.  Secondly, the MMU hash miss
code was clearing both paca->soft_enabled and paca->hard_enabled
but not restoring them in the case where hash_page was able to
resolve the miss from the Linux page tables.

c12fb18857 [IA64] remove unused PAL_CALL_IC_OFF
Linux maps PAL instructions with an ITR, but uses a DTC for PAL data.
Section 11.10.2.1.3, "Making PAL Procedures Calls in Physical or Virtual
Mode," of the SDM (rev 2.2), says we must therefore make all PAL calls
with PSR.ic = 1 so that Linux can handle any TLB faults.

PAL_CALL_IC_OFF is currently unused, and as long as we use the ITR + DTC
strategy, we can't use it.  So remove it.  I also removed the code in
ia64_pal_call_static() that conditionally cleared PSR.ic.

3f4a0b917c [PATCH] i386 Time: Avoid PIT SMP lockups
Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by
Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes.

However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle
the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC.
Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again.  So this
changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0.

Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems:

tsc		[if present & stable]
hpet		[if present]
cyclone		[if present]
acpi_pm		[if present]
pit		[if UP]
jiffies

Rather then the current more complicated:
tsc		[if present & stable]
hpet		[if present]
cyclone		[if present]
acpi_pm		[if present]
pit		[if cpus < 4]
tsc		[if present & unstable]
jiffies

5b43d20a4d [POWERPC] powerpc: Enable DEEPNAP power savings mode on 970MP
Without this patch, on an idle system I get:

cpu-power-1:27.102
cpu-power-2:29.343
cpu-power-3:25.784
Total: 103.8W

With this patch:

cpu-power-0:11.730
cpu-power-1:17.185
cpu-power-2:18.547
cpu-power-3:17.528
Total: 65.0W

If I lower HZ to 100, I can get it as low as:

cpu-power-0:10.938
cpu-power-1:16.021
cpu-power-2:17.245
cpu-power-3:16.145
Total: 60.2W

Another (older) Quad G5 went from 54W to 39W at HZ=250.

Coming back out of Deep Nap takes 40-70 cycles longer than coming back
from just Nap (which already takes quite a while). I don't think it'll
be a performance issue (interrupt latency on an idle system), but in
case someone does measurements feel free to report them.

d04c56f73c [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines
This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.

When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.

This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.

This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

e5267b4b37 [POWERPC] Don't crash on cell with 2 BEs when !CONFIG_NUMA
The SPU code will crash if CONFIG_NUMA is not set and SPUs are found on
a non-0 node. This workaround will ignore those SPEs and just print an
message in the kernel log.

dfde5d62ed [CPUFREQ][8/8] acpi-cpufreq: Add support for freq feedback from hardware
Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR
to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will
make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of
frequency is going on.

Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due
to underlying hardware coordination or TM2.
Example:
* CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated.
* CPU 1 running at highest frequency.
* CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to
  some intermediate frequency based on utilization.
* Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to
  run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest).
* When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency
  feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change
  was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it
  thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at
  intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

a6f6e6e6ab [CPUFREQ][7/8] acpi-cpufreq: Fix get of current frequency breakage
Recent speedstep-centrino unification onto acpi-cpufreq patchset broke
cpuinfo_cur_freq interface in /sys/../cpuinfo/, when MSR was used for
transitions. Attached patch fixes that breakage.

Only change the frequency if the state previously set is different
from what we are trying to set. We don't really have to get the current
frequency at this point.

83d0515bbb [CPUFREQ][4/8] acpi-cpufreq: Mark speedstep-centrino ACPI as deprecated
Mark ACPI hooks in speedstep-centrino as deprecated. Change the order in which
speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq (when both are in kernel) will be
added. First driver to be tried is now acpi-cpufreq, followed by
speedstep-centrino.

Add a note in feature-removal-schedule to mark this deprecation.

dde9f7ba60 [CPUFREQ][3/8] acpi-cpufreq: Pull in MSR based transition support
Add in the support for Intel Enhanced Speedstep - MSR based transitions.
With this change, the ACPI based support in speedstep-centrino can be
deprecated and duplicate code in that driver can be marked for removal.
Much easier to maintain and support this way. This also reduces the
user misconfigurations and questions on which driver is to be used
under which CPUs to support Enhanced Speedstep.

fe27cb3588 [CPUFREQ][2/8] acpi: reorganize code to make MSR support addition easier
Some clean up and redsign of the driver. Mainly making it easier to add
support for multiple sub-mechanisms of changing frequency. Currently this
driver supports only ACPI SYSTEM_IO address space. With the changes
below it is easier to add support for other address spaces like Intel
Enhanced Speedstep which uses MSR (ACPI FIXED_FEATURE_HARDWARE) to do the
transitions.
