0ae2e17865 ide: remove ->ide_dma_check (take 2)
* Add IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA host flag for host drivers that depend
  on BIOS for programming device/controller for DMA.  Set it in cy82c693,
  generic, ns87415, opti621 and trm290 host drivers.

* Add IDE_HFLAG_VDMA host flag for host drivers using VDMA.  Set it in cs5520
  host driver.

* Teach ide_tune_dma() about IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA flag.

* Add generic ide_dma_check() helper and remove all open coded ->ide_dma_check
  implementations.  Fix all places checking for presence of ->ide_dma_check
  hook to check for ->ide_dma_on instead.

* Remove no longer needed code from config_drive_for_dma().

* Make ide_tune_dma() static.

v2:
* Fix config_drive_for_dma() return values.

* Fix ide-dma.c build for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=n by adding
  dummy config_drive_for_dma() inline.

* Fix IDE_HFLAG_TRUST_BIOS_FOR_DMA handling in ide_dma_check().

* Fix init_hwif_it8213() comment.

There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch.

->autotune this change shouldn't have any other effect than bringing ide-pmac

65c9cd23ca ide: remove ide_use_fast_pio()
Remove ide_use_fast_pio() and just re-tune PIO unconditionally if DMA tuning
has failed in ->ide_dma_check.  All host drivers using ide_use_fast_pio() set
drive->autotune so PIO is always tuned anyway and in some cases we _really_
need to re-tune PIO because PIO and DMA timings are shared.

  - transfer mode not being set on device/host

94c7fa0fcc atiixp: DMA setup fixes
* Fix handling of unsupported/invalid modes in atiixp_set_dma_mode().

* ATI controllers allow separate PIO and DMA timings so remove programming
  of PIO modes from atiixp_set_dma_mode().  Also remove no longer needed
  atiixp_dma_2_pio() helper.

* SWDMA timings are not programmed by atiixp_set_dma_mode() and if SWDMA
  mode is chosen atiixp_dma_host_on() erroneously enables UDMA, just disable
  support for SWDMA modes for now.

* Enable support for MWDMA0 mode.

* Bump driver version.

c77a89cd98 sis5513: DMA setup fixes
* Add sis_ata133_get_base() helper function for obtaining the address of
  the drive control registers on chipset_family == ATA_133 chipsets.

* Add three helper functions for programming PIO/MWDMA timings:
  - sis_ata16_program_timings()  (for ATA_16/33/66/100a chipset families)
  - sis_ata100_program_timings() (for ATA_100/133a chipset families)
  - sis_ata133_program_timings() (for ATA_133 chipset family)

  MWDMA timings are taken from datasheets and they match ATA spec.

* Add generic helper function sis_program_timings() and use it in
  ->set_pio_mode and ->set_dma_mode methods (previously the driver
  depended on BIOS to program the correct MWDMA timings).

* Remove redundant !chipset_family check from init_hwif_sis5513()
  (init_chipset_sis5513() guarantees that we will never get here if
   chipset_family cannot be determined).

* SWDMA seems to be unsupported by SiS chipsets (no info about SWDMA in
  datasheets and for SWDMA0 mode timing requirements are impossible to
  fulfill) so remove ->swdma_mask from init_hwif_sis5513() and handling
  of SWDMA modes from sis_set_dma_mode().

* Enable DMA support for chipset_family == ATA_16.

* Bump driver version.

Extremly low values are of dubious usefulness anyway but in this case
they actually were killing Qemu which simply wasn't able to complete

985c30ef4d [MIPS] Fix aliasing bug in copy_user_highpage, take 2.
Turns out b868868ae0  wasn't quite right.
When called for a page that isn't marked dirty it would artificially
create an alias instead of doing the obvious thing and access the page
via KSEG0.

The same issue also exists in copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page
which was causing the machine to die under rare circumstances for example
when running ps if the BUG_ON() assertion added by the earlier fix was
getting triggered.

f20bf61256 time: introduce xtime_seconds
improve performance of sys_time(). sys_time() returns time in seconds,
but it does so by calling do_gettimeofday() and then returning the
tv_sec portion of the GTOD time. But the data structure "xtime", which
is updated by every timer/scheduler tick, already offers HZ granularity
time.

the patch improves the sysbench oltp macrobenchmark by 4-5% on an AMD
dual-core system:

v2.6.23:

#threads

   1:     transactions:                        4073   (407.23 per sec.)
   2:     transactions:                        8530   (852.81 per sec.)
   3:     transactions:                        8321   (831.88 per sec.)
   4:     transactions:                        8407   (840.58 per sec.)
   5:     transactions:                        8070   (806.74 per sec.)

v2.6.23 + sys_time-speedup.patch:

   1:     transactions:                        4281   (428.09 per sec.)
   2:     transactions:                        8910   (890.85 per sec.)
   3:     transactions:                        8659   (865.79 per sec.)
   4:     transactions:                        8676   (867.34 per sec.)
   5:     transactions:                        8532   (852.91 per sec.)

and by 4-5% on an Intel dual-core system too:

2.6.23:

  1:     transactions:                        4560   (455.94 per sec.)
  2:     transactions:                        10094  (1009.30 per sec.)
  3:     transactions:                        9755   (975.36 per sec.)
  4:     transactions:                        9859   (985.78 per sec.)
  5:     transactions:                        9701   (969.72 per sec.)

2.6.23 + sys_time-speedup.patch:

  1:     transactions:                        4779   (477.84 per sec.)
  2:     transactions:                        10103  (1010.14 per sec.)
  3:     transactions:                        10141  (1013.93 per sec.)
  4:     transactions:                        10371  (1036.89 per sec.)
  5:     transactions:                        10178  (1017.50 per sec.)

(the more CPUs the system has, the more speedup this patch gives for
this particular workload.)
