Konstantin Khlebnikov 314e51b985 mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Qiang Liu 567fd1d4a6 carma: remove unnecessary DMA_INTERRUPT capability
These drivers set the DMA_INTERRUPT capability bit when requesting a DMA
controller channel. This was historical, and is no longer needed.

Recent changes to the drivers/dma/fsldma.c driver have removed support
for this flag. This makes the carma drivers unable to find a DMA channel
with the required capabilities.

Linus Torvalds 5375871d43 Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc merge from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  It is going to be a
  bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
  arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
  rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
  maintain and that nobody really used anymore.

  Here are some of the highlights:

   - Legacy iSeries is gone.  Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
     and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
     they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
     hopefully.

   - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
     previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"...  it's a rewrite of a
     mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
     new implementation hopefully being much more reliable.  Thanks
     Mahesh Salgaonkar.

   - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
     spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
     new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.

     The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
     there.  Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
     not very nice and which Grant objects to.  I will have a patch soon
     that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
     before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
     getting rid of the need for that pointer completely).  Thanks Gavin
     Shan.

   - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
     way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
     "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
     a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
     fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.

   - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
     of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."

I fixed up some conflicts with the generalized irq-domain changes from
Grant Likely, hopefully correctly.

Ira Snyder 6c15d7afbb carma-fpga: fix race between data dumping and DMA callback
When the system is under heavy load, we occasionally saw a problem where
the system would get a legitimate interrupt when they should be
disabled.

This was caused by the data_dma_cb() DMA callback unconditionally
re-enabling FPGA interrupts even when data dumping is disabled. When
data dumping was re-enabled, the irq handler would fire while a DMA was
in progress. The "BUG_ON(priv->inflight != NULL);" during the second
invocation of the DMA callback caused the system to crash.

To fix the issue, the priv->enabled boolean is moved under the
protection of the priv->lock spinlock. The DMA callback checks the
boolean to know whether to re-enable FPGA interrupts before it returns.

Now that it is fixed, the driver keeps FPGA interrupts disabled when it
expects that they are disabled, fixing the bug.

Ira Snyder 75ff85a816 carma-fpga: fix lockdep warning
Lockdep occasionally complains with the message:
INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected

This is caused by calling videobuf_dma_unmap() under spin_lock_irq(). To
fix the warning, we drop the lock before unmapping and freeing the
buffer.

Axel Lin b00e126ffe MISC: convert drivers/misc/* to use module_platform_driver()
This patch converts the drivers in drivers/misc/* to use the
module_platform_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit

Ira Snyder c186f0e177 misc: Add CARMA DATA-FPGA Access Driver
This driver allows userspace to access the data processing FPGAs on the
OVRO CARMA board. It has two modes of operation:

1) random access

This allows users to poke any DATA-FPGA registers by using mmap to map
the address region directly into their memory map.

2) correlation dumping

When correlating, the DATA-FPGA's have special requirements for getting
the data out of their memory before the next correlation. This nominally
happens at 64Hz (every 15.625ms). If the data is not dumped before the
next correlation, data is lost.

The data dumping driver handles buffering up to 1 second worth of
correlation data from the FPGAs. This lowers the realtime scheduling
requirements for the userspace process reading the device.
