b9c3fdb0f0 [POWERPC] Fix parse_drconf_memory() for 64-bit start addresses
Some new machines use the "ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory" property
to provide memory layout information, rather than via memory nodes.

There is a bug in the code to parse this property for start addresses
over 4GB; we store the start address in an unsigned int, which means
we throw away the high bits and add apparently duplicate regions.
This results in a BUG() in free_bootmem_core().  This fixes it by
using an unsigned long instead.

17aa3a82aa [POWERPC] Fix num_cpus calculation in smp_call_function_map()
In smp_call_function_map(), num_cpus is set to the number of online
CPUs minus one.  However, if the CPU mask does not include all CPUs
(except the one we're running on), the routine will hang in the first
while() loop until the 8 second timeout occurs.

The num_cpus should be set to the number of CPUs specified in the mask
passed into the routine, after we've made any modifications to the
mask.  With this change, we can also get rid of the call to
cpus_empty() and avoid adding another pass through the bitmask.

683e3ab2b5 [POWERPC] spufs: Fix affinity after introduction of node_allowed() calls
This patch fixes affinity reference point placement, which was not being
done in some situations, after the introduction of node_allowed() calls.

The previously used parameter, 'ctx', is just the iterator of the
previous list_for_each_entry_reverse loop, and its value might be
invalid at the end of the loop. Also, the right context to seek
for information when defining the reference ctx location
_is_ the reference ctx.

430404ed9c [POWERPC] Fix special PTE code for secondary hash bucket
The code for mapping special 4k pages on kernels using a 64kB base
page size was missing the code for doing the RPN (real page number)
manipulation when inserting the hardware PTE in the secondary hash
bucket.  It needs the same code as has already been added to the
code that inserts the HPTE in the primary hash bucket.  This adds it.

c0f7c6cb5d [POWERPC] Expand RPN field to 34 bits when using 64k pages
The real page number field in our PTEs when configured for 64kB pages
is currently 32 bits, which turns out to be not quite enough for the
resources that the eHCA driver wants to map.  This expands the RPN
field to include 2 adjacent, previously-unused bits.

5a4f3ea77e [PATCH] sched: tidy up left over smpnice code
1. The only place that RTPRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() is used is in the call to
move_tasks() in the function active_load_balance() and its purpose here
is just to make sure that the load to be moved is big enough to ensure
that exactly one task is moved (if there's one available).  This can be
accomplished by using ULONG_MAX instead and this allows
RTPRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted.

2. This, in turn, allows PRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted.

3. This allows load_weight() to be deleted which allows
TIME_SLICE_NICE_ZERO to be deleted along with the comment above it.

de1a7b0328 USB HID: fix a possible NULL pointer dereference when we fail to allocate memory
If, in usb_hid_configure(), we fail to allocate storage for 'usbhid',
 "if (!(usbhid = kzalloc(sizeof(struct usbhid_device), GFP_KERNEL)))",
then we'll jump to the 'fail:' label where we have this code:
        usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbin);
        usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbout);
        usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbctrl);
Since we got here because we couldn't allocate storage for 'usbhid',
what we have here is a NULL pointer dereference - ouch...

This patch solves that little problem by adding a new
'fail_no_usbhid:' label after the problematic calls to
usb_free_urb() and jumps to that one instead, in the problem case.

04668873da FRV: Enable the MB86943 PCI arbiter correctly
Enable the MB93090 motherboard's MB86943 PCI arbiter correctly by assigning to
the register rather than comparing against it.  This is required to support
bus mastering.

0fc4969b86 genirq: temporary fix for level-triggered IRQ resend
Marcin Slusarz reported a ne2k-pci "hung network interface" regression.

delayed disable relies on the ability to re-trigger the interrupt in the
case that a real interrupt happens after the software disable was set.
In this case we actually disable the interrupt on the hardware level
_after_ it occurred.

On enable_irq, we need to re-trigger the interrupt. On i386 this relies
on a hardware resend mechanism (send_IPI_self()).

Actually we only need the resend for edge type interrupts. Level type
interrupts come back once enable_irq() re-enables the interrupt line.

I assume that the interrupt in question is level triggered because it is
shared and above the legacy irqs 0-15:

	17:         12   IO-APIC-fasteoi   eth1, eth0

Looking into the IO_APIC code, the resend via send_IPI_self() happens
unconditionally. So the resend is done for level and edge interrupts.
This makes the problem more mysterious.

The code in question lib8390.c does

	disable_irq();
	fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware()
	enable_irq();

The fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware() might cause interrupts,
which are cleared in the same code path again,

Marcin found that when he disables the irq line on the hardware level
(removing the delayed disable) the card is kept alive.

So the difference is that we can get a resend on enable_irq, when an
interrupt happens during the time, where we are in the disabled region.
