The code under "if (is_global_init())" is bogus, and is_global_init()
itself is not right in mt case.
Contrary to what the comment says, nowadays force_sig_info() does kill
init even if the handler is SIG_DFL. Note that force_sig_info() clears
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE exactly for this case.

The ioctl is only used for powermac systems and reads a partition
number from an array which is initialized at boot time way before the
nvram code is initialized. So it's safe to switch to unlocked_ioctl.

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler. Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

Since commit 0a544198 "timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier
to struct timekeeper" the clock multiplier of vsyscall is updated with
the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the
NTP adjusted multiplier of the timekeeper.
This causes user space observerable time warps:
new CLOCK-warp maximum: 120 nsecs, 00000025c337c537 -> 00000025c337c4bf
Add a new argument "mult" to update_vsyscall() and hand in the
timekeeping internal NTP adjusted multiplier.

Resolve the conflict between v2.6.32-rc7 where dn_def_dev_handler
gets a small bug fix and the sysctl tree where I am removing all
sysctl strategy routines.
powerpc grew a new warning due to the type change of clockevent->mult.
The architectures which use parts of the generic time keeping
infrastructure tripped over my wrong assumption that
clocksource_register is only used when GENERIC_TIME=y.
I should have looked and also I should have known better. These
renitent Gaul villages are racking my nerves. Some serious deprecating
is due.

This uses compat_alloc_userspace to remove the various
hacks to allow do_sysctl to write to throuh oldlenp.
The rest of our mature compat syscall helper facitilies
are used as well to ensure we have a nice clean maintainable
compat syscall that can be used on all architectures.
The motiviation for a generic compat sysctl (besides the
obvious hack removal) is to reduce the number of compat
sysctl defintions out there so I can refactor the
binary sysctl implementation.
ppc already used the name compat_sys_sysctl so I remove the
ppcs version here.

We need to run some KVM trampoline code in real mode. Unfortunately, real mode
only covers 8MB on Cell so we need to squeeze ourselves as low as possible.

Defining CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ enables generic code that gets rid of the
static irq_desc array, and replaces it with an array of pointers to
irq_descs.
It also allows node local allocation of irq_descs, however we
currently don't have the information available to do that, so we just
allocate them on all on node 0.

Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
tables at a different level. Every hugepage aware path that needs to
walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
accordingly. Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
sizes, more layout options and more mess.
This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
reduce this complexity. In the new scheme, instead of having to
consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
slice mask. This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
now we assume only one level exists.
This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
know how the pagetables should be set out. All other (hugepage)
pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.
There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
directory pointers, but it was only used for debug. We alter that
flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
mapping). This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.
While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
#defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

The CHRP code has some fishy timer based code to scan the RTAS event
log, which uses a 1KB stack buffer and doesn't even use the results.
The pSeries code as a nicer daemon that allows userspace to read the
event log and basically uses the same RTAS interface
This patch moves rtasd.c out of platform/pseries and makes it usable
by CHRP, after removing the old crufty event log mechanism in there.
The nvram logging part of the daemon is still only available on 64-bit
since the underlying nvram management routines aren't currently shared.
