CPU performance event counters on v7 cores will only operate
if either the NIDEN or DBGEN signals are driven high.
For the OMAP3 platform, these signals are driven low by default
but DBGEN can be asserted by selecting the OMAP3_EMU Kconfig option,
which enables the virtual clock for hardware debugging peripherals.

Linux expects that if a CPU modifies a memory location, then that
modification will eventually become visible to other CPUs in the system.
On an ARM11MPCore processor, loads are prioritised over stores so it is
possible for a store operation to be postponed if a polling loop immediately
follows it. If the variable being polled indirectly depends on the outstanding
store [for example, another CPU may be polling the variable that is pending
modification] then there is the potential for deadlock if interrupts are
disabled. This deadlock occurs in the KGDB testsuire when executing on an
SMP ARM11MPCore configuration.
This patch changes the definition of cpu_relax() to smp_mb() for ARMv6 cores,
forcing a flushing of the write buffer on SMP systems before the next load
takes place. If the Kernel is not compiled for SMP support, this will expand
to a barrier() as before.

Commit f4d6477f introduced a workaround for the lack of hardware
broadcasting of the cache maintenance operations on ARM11MPCore.
However, the workaround is only valid on CPUs that do not do speculative
loads into the D-cache.
This patch adds a Kconfig option with the corresponding help to make the
above clear. When the DMA_CACHE_RWFO option is disabled, the kernel
behaviour is that prior to the f4d6477f commit. This also allows ARMv6
UP processors with speculative loads to work correctly.
For other processors, a different workaround may be needed.

A recent patch for DMA cache maintenance on ARM11MPCore added a write
for ownership trick to the v6_dma_inv_range() function. Such operation
destroys data already present in the buffer. However, this function is
used with with dma_sync_single_for_device() which is supposed to
preserve the existing data transfered into the buffer. This patch adds a
combination of read/write for ownership to preserve the original data.

Conflicts:
fs/fs-writeback.c
Merge reason: Resolve the conflict
Note, i picked the version from Linus's tree, which effectively reverts
the fs-writeback.c bits of:
b97181f: fs: remove all rcu head initializations, except on_stack initializations
As the upstream changes to this file changed this code heavily and the
first attempt to resolve the conflict resulted in a non-booting kernel.
It's safer to re-try this portion of the commit cleanly.

The x3950 family can have as many as 256 PCI buses in a single system, so
change the limits to the maximum. Since there can only be 256 PCI buses in one
domain, we no longer need the BUG_ON check.

x86 architectures can handle unaligned accesses in hardware, and it has
been shown that unaligned DMA accesses can be expensive on Nehalem
architectures. As such we should overwrite NET_IP_ALIGN to resolve
this issue.

Typo in down_spin() meant it only read the low 32 bits of the
"serve" value, instead of the full 64 bits. This results in the
system hanging when the values in ticket/serve get larger than
32-bits. A big enough system running the right test can hit this
in a just a few hours.

Before we had a generic breakpoint layer, x86 used to send a
sigtrap for any debug event that happened in userspace,
except if it was caused by lazy dr7 switches.
Currently we only send such signal for single step or breakpoint
events.
However, there are three other kind of debug exceptions:
- debug register access detected: trigger an exception if the
next instruction touches the debug registers. We don't use
it.
- task switch, but we don't use tss.
- icebp/int01 trap. This instruction (0xf1) is undocumented and
generates an int 1 exception. Unlike single step through TF
flag, it doesn't set the single step origin of the exception
in dr6.
icebp then used to be reported in userspace using trap signals
but this have been incidentally broken with the new breakpoint
code. Reenable this. Since this is the only debug event that
doesn't set anything in dr6, this is all we have to check.
This fixes a regression in Wine where World Of Warcraft got broken
as it uses this for software protection checks purposes. And
probably other apps do.

Instead of having a platform device defined in a devices.c and register
it in the machine file allocate it dynamically. This reduces the size
of needed memory as the new function is discarded after init and only
the existing devices are created.
