Especially when summary code is used, we can have in-memory data
structures referencing certain nodes without them actually being readable
on the flash. Discard the nodes gracefully in that case, rather than
triggering a BUG().

The page size encoding passed to tlbie is incorrect for new-style
large pages. This fixes it. This doesn't affect anything on older
machines because mmu_psize_defs[psize].penc (the page size encoding)
is 0 for 4k and 16M pages (the two are distinguished by a separate "is
a large page" bit).

arm_timer() checks PF_EXITING to prevent BUG_ON(->exit_state)
in run_posix_cpu_timers().
However, for some reason it does so only for CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
case (which is imho wrong).
Also, this check is not reliable, PF_EXITING could be set on
another cpu without any locks/barriers just after the check,
so it can't prevent from attaching the timer to the exiting
task.
The previous patch makes this check unneeded.

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents
another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.
arm_timer() tries to protect against this race, but the check
is racy.
After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.
At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were
cleanuped in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(),
so we can just return from irq.

If the local timer interrupt happens just after do_exit() sets PF_EXITING
(and before it clears ->it_xxx_expires) run_posix_cpu_timers() will call
check_process_timers() with tasklist_lock + ->siglock held and
check_process_timers:
t = tsk;
do {
....
do {
t = next_thread(t);
} while (unlikely(t->flags & PF_EXITING));
} while (t != tsk);
the outer loop will never stop.
Actually, the window is bigger. Another process can attach the timer
after ->it_xxx_expires was cleared (see the next commit) and the 'if
(PF_EXITING)' check in arm_timer() is racy (see the one after that).

A couple of fixes that should prevent crashes when using netconsole and
suspend/resume. First, netconsole poll routine shouldn't run unless the
device is up; second, the NAPI poll should be disabled during suspend.
This is only an issue on sky2, because it has to have one NAPI poll
routine for both ports on dual port boards. Normal drivers use
netif_rx_schedule_prep and that checks for netif_running.

If get_user_pages() returns less pages than what we asked for, we jump
to out_unmap which will return ERR_PTR(ret). But ret can contain a
positive number just smaller than local_nr_pages, so be sure to set it
to -EFAULT always.

Some time ago the cdrom open routine was changed so that we call the
driver's open routine before checking to see if it is read only. However,
if we discovered that a read write open was not possible and the open
flags required a writable open, we just returned -EROFS without calling
the driver's release routine. This seems to work for most cdrom drivers,
but breaks the Powerpc iSeries virtual cdrom rather badly.
This just inserts the release call in the error path to balance the call
to "->open()" done by "open_for_data()".

Attached are two small patches for include/net/ieee80211.h to prepare
for later submission of code to implement a user-space daemon that
supplies 802.11 regulatory information.
The first change adds a bit indicating that 802.11h rules are to be
applied to a channel. As discussed earlier in this list, a single bit
is unlikely to be sufficient; however, at this time I have been unable
to find any regulations implementing differences between 802.11a and
802.11h other than DFS, radar detection and passive scanning. A single
bit is thus sufficient to convey to the driver that these rules should
be obeyed.
The second change adds comments to the freq and max_power fields of
struct ieee80211_channel to indicate the units that are used.

Currently the kernel blindly halts all the processors and calls the
ibm,suspend-me rtas call. If the firmware is not in the correct
state, we then re-start all the processors and return. It is much
smarter to first check the firmware state, and only if it is waiting,
call the ibm,suspend-me call.

It seems that prom_init's early_cmdline_parse is broken on at least
Apple 970 xserves and IBM JS20 blades with SLOF. The firmware of these
machines returns -1 and 1 respectively when getprop is called for the
bootargs property of /chosen, causing Linux to ignore its builtin
command line in favor of a null string. This patch makes Linux use its
builtin command line if getprop returns an error or a null string.

Some updates to the pmac32_defconfig to make it more useful:
- Enable LSF (large single files) since we enable LBD (large block devices)
- Enable IPSEC related options
- Enable remaining raid/dm options as modules
- Disable eth1394, I doubt any has that hardware and it has a nasty habit of
auto loading first and skewing network device numbering
- Enable dummy and tun as modules, always useful to have them around
- Enable EHCI, no wonder my usb2 disk was so slow
- Enable USB storage
- Enable ext3 acls
- Disable autofs and enable autofsv4 instead
- Enable nfs v3/v4 client and server. Dont want to be left in the dark ages
of pre v3
- Enable all crypto as modules, things like cryptsetup want some of them
