This patch reverts NUMA affine page table allocation added by commit
1411e0ec31 (x86-64, numa: Put pgtable to local node memory).
The commit made an undocumented change where the kernel linear mapping
strictly follows intersection of e820 memory map and NUMA
configuration. If the physical memory configuration has holes or NUMA
nodes are not properly aligned, this leads to using unnecessarily
smaller mapping size which leads to increased TLB pressure. For
details,
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1104672
Patches to fix the problem have been proposed but the underlying code
needs more cleanup and the approach itself seems a bit heavy handed
and it has been determined to revert the feature for now and come back
to it in the next developement cycle.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1105959
As init_memory_mapping_high() callsites have been consolidated since
the commit, reverting is done manually. Also, the RED-PEN comment in
arch/x86/mm/init.c is not restored as the problem no longer exists
with memblock based top-down early memory allocation.

This happens to not be an issue currently because we take pains to try
to ensure that the GSI-IRQ mapping is 1-1 in a PV guest and that
regular event channels do not clash. However a subsequent patch is

With this patch, we diligently set regions that will be used by the
balloon driver to be INVALID_P2M_ENTRY and under the ownership
of the balloon driver. We are OK using the __set_phys_to_machine
as we do not expect to be allocating any P2M middle or entries pages.
The set_phys_to_machine has the side-effect of potentially allocating
new pages and we do not want that at this stage.
We can do this because xen_build_mfn_list_list will have already
allocated all such pages up to xen_max_p2m_pfn.
We also move the check for auto translated physmap down the
stack so it is present in __set_phys_to_machine.

NUMA distance table handling has the following problems.
* numa_reset_distance() uses numa_distance * sizeof(numa_distance[0])

* The same size miscalculation when allocation space for phys_dist in
numa_emulation().
* In numa_emulation(), phys_dist must be reserved; otherwise, the new
emulated distance table may overlap it.

Up to now we force enable the local apic in the devicetree setup
uncoditionally and set smp_found_config unconditionally to 1 when a

in the Kconfig.
Make it consistent by initializing device tree explicitely before
smp_get_config() so a non lapic configuration could be used as well.
To be functional that would require to implement PIT as an interrupt
host, but the only user of this code until now is ce4100 which
requires apics to be available. So we leave this up to those who need

This allows to load the OF driver based informations from the device

PowerPC creates a PNP device from the OF information and performs this
kind of initialization in their private PCI quirk. This looks more
generic.
This patch also avoids registering the platform RTC driver on X86 if
we have a device tree blob. Otherwise we would setup the device based
on the hardcoded information in arch/x86 rather than the device tree

x86_of_pci_init() does two things:
- it provides a generic irq enable and disable function. enable queries
the device tree for the interrupt information, calls ->xlate on the
irq host and updates the pci->irq information for the device.
- it walks through PCI bus(es) in the device tree and adds its children
(device) nodes to appropriate pci_dev nodes in kernel. So the dtb
node information is available at probe time of the PCI device.
Adding a PCI bus based on the information in the device tree is
currently not supported. Right now direct access via ioports is used.

APIC and IO_APIC have to be added to the system early because
native_init_IRQ() requires it.
In order to obtain the address of the ioapic the device tree has to be
unflattened so of_address_to_resource() works.
The device tree is relocated to ensure it is always covered by the
kernel mapping. That way the boot loader does not have to make
any assumptions about kernel's memory layout.

History:
v1..v2:
- dropped device_type except for cpu & pci. I have the compatible string
for pci so I can drop the device_type once it is possible
- I lowercased all compatible types. I will need to resend some patches
which have upper case intel
- The cpu had the same compatible string as the soc node. So I added to
the soc node -immr for internel memory mapped registers.
- I added generic names for all parts.
- I reworked the i2c bars matching the way you suggested. I added a
compatible node for the PCI device which only the PCI ids in its
compatible string. The bars (each represents a complete i2c
controller) have a "intel,ce4100-i2c-controller" compatible node. It
is not used by the driver.
The driver is probed via PCI ids (by the pci subsystem not OF) and
matches the bar address against the ressource in the child node. Once
there is a hit the node is attached.
- The SPI driver is also probed via pci. However I also attached a
compatible property based on PCI ids
v2..v3:
- intel,ce4100-immr become intel,ce4100-cp. cp stands for core
peripherals. The Atom data sheet talks here about ACPI devices. Since
we don't have ACPI this does not apply here.
- The interrupt map is gone. There are now plenty of device nodes.
- The "unit address string" got fixed, it uses not DD,V format.
v3..v4:
- added descriptions for compatible nodes introduced here:
- intel,ce4100-ioapic
- intel,ce4100-lapic
- intel,ce4100-hpet
- intel,ce4100
- intel,ce4100-cp
- intel,ce4100-pci
- added a description about I2C controller magic.
- Added gpio-controller and gpio-cells property to gpio devices. Those
properties are not (yet) used.

This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
least boot protocol 2.09.
Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
code compile.
The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
otherwise. This includes things like
- which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
- how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
- where could my hpet be?
