This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
and is patterned after direct mapping of LS.
This patch allows mmap() of the following regions:
"mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff];
"cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff];
"signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which
begins at offset 0x1c000.
The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user
processes. The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may
only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
because they have the potential to confuse the kernel
with regard to parallel access to the same files with
regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock
when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them,
which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps,

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

One local variable is missing an __iomem modifier,
in another place, we pass a completely unused argument
with a missing __user modifier.

If creating one entry failed in spufs_fill_dir,
we never cleaned up the freshly created entries.
Fix this by calling the cleanup function on error.

Only checking for SPUFS_MAGIC is not reliable, because
it might not be unique in theory. Worse than that,
we accidentally allow spu_run to be performed on
any file in spufs, not just those returned from
spu_create as intended.

spu_forget will do mmput on the DMA address space,
which can lead to lots of other stuff getting triggered.
We better not hold a semaphore here that we might
need in the process.

This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use
more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the
system.
Currently, there is no support for preempting a running
SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering
an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the
owning thread or by sending a signal to it.
This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU
in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore
to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath
us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change
the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save
or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore
to read-only.

This is the current version of the spu file system, used
for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine.
This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.
The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.
See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use
spufs.
