f709bfac48 powerpc/pseries: Tell firmware our capabilities on new machines
This adds code to call a new firmware method to tell the firmware
what machines and capabilities (such as VMX/Altivec) we support.
This will be needed on POWER5+ and POWER6 machines, and it has no
effect on past and current machines.

f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

dd4cb9f8ac [IA64-SGI] - Reduce overhead of reading sn_topology
MPI programs using certain debug options have a long
startup time. This was traced to a "vmalloc/vfree" in
the code that reads /proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology. On large
systems, vfree requires an IPI to all cpus to do TLB
purging.

Replace the vmalloc/vfree with kmalloc/kfree. Although
the size of the structure being allocated is unknown, it
will not not exceed 96 bytes.

Patch from Richard Purdie

The AAPCS says that enums can be variably sized depending on the range
of valid values. This is not the accepted behaviour under linux so for
compatibility gcc has an aapcs-linux target, the main difference being
that enums are always of type int. Change the ARM Makefile to use this
target.

We do this by removing a micro-optimization that tries to avoid grabbing

This still races with other simultaneous alloc_iommu or free_iommu(size >

The end result of this race is eventually ending up with an
iommu_gart_bitmap that has bits errornously set all over, making large
contiguous iommu space allocations fail with 'PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space'.

fixing that, I also found & fixed a couple of other corner cases. This
fixes booting with a pbbuttons version that scans the i2c bus for an LMU
controller among others. Tested on a dual G5 with thermal control (which
has heavy i2c activity) with no problem so far.

2889773131 [PATCH] powerpc: Lower threshold for DART enablement to 1GB
Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.

Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).

iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).
