Ultimately to implement /proc perfectly we need an implementation of
d_revalidate because files and directories can be removed behind the back
of the VFS, and d_revalidate is the only way we can let the VFS know that
this has happened.
Unfortunately the linux VFS can not cope with anything in the path to a
mount point going away. So a proper d_revalidate method that calls d_drop
also needs to call have_submounts which is moderately expensive, so you
really don't want a d_revalidate method that unconditionally calls it, but
instead only calls it when the backing object has really gone away.
proc generic entries only disappear on module_unload (when not counting the
fledgling network namespace) so it is quite rare that we actually encounter
that case and has not actually caused us real world trouble yet.
So until we get a proper test for keeping dentries in the dcache fix the
current d_revalidate method by completely removing it. This returns us to
the current status quo.
So with CONFIG_NETNS=n things should look as they have always looked.
For CONFIG_NETNS=y things work most of the time but there are a few rare
corner cases that don't behave properly. As the network namespace is
barely present in 2.6.24 this should not be a problem.

We have a wifi module connected to the spi bus and got sometimes FIFO
overrun errors on the spi bus.
After some investigation i found that the driver loads the TCR (transmit
count) register before the RCR (receive count). When the transfer list is
not empty the atmel_spi_next_message is called while tx and rx are enabled.
As soon as the TCR is loaded, hardware starts transfer and causes a rx
fifo overrun because the RCR is not loaded yet.
Load the RCR before the TCR. After this patch the fifo overrun disapears
at out setup.

The esp_reset_cleanup() function is called with the host lock held and
invokes starget_for_each_device() which wants to take it too. Here is a
fix along the lines of shost_for_each_device()/__shost_for_each_device()
adding a __starget_for_each_device() counterpart which assumes the lock
has already been taken.
Eventually, I think the driver should get modified so that more work is
done as a softirq rather than in the interrupt context, but for now it
fixes a bug that causes the spinlock debugger to fire.
While at it, it fixes a small number of cosmetic problems with
starget_for_each_device() too.

The follow_hugetlb_page() fix I posted (merged as git commit
5b23dbe817) missed one case. If the pte is
present, but not writable and write access is requested by the caller to
get_user_pages(), the code will do the wrong thing. Rather than calling
hugetlb_fault to make the pte writable, it notes the presence of the pte
and continues.
This simple one-liner makes sure we also fault on the pte for this case.
Please apply.

This incorporates libfdt (from the source embedded in an earlier
commit) into the wrapper.a library used by the bootwrapper. This
includes adding a libfdt_env.h file, which the libfdt sources need in
order to integrate into the bootwrapper environment, and a
libfdt-wrapper.c which provides glue to connect the bootwrapper's
abstract device tree callbacks to the libfdt functions.
In addition, this changes the various wrapper and platform files to
use libfdt functions instead of the older flatdevtree.c library.

Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we
should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB
entries. This uses this property instead of assuming 64. If no
property is found, we assume 64 entries as before.
This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance
at all.
