The changes to deliver hardware accelerated VLAN packets to packet
sockets (commit bc1d0411) caused a warning for non-NAPI drivers.
The __vlan_hwaccel_rx() function is called directly from the drivers
RX function, for non-NAPI drivers that means its still in RX IRQ
context:

Split hardware accelerated VLAN reception into two parts to fix this:
- __vlan_hwaccel_rx just stores the VLAN TCI and performs the VLAN
device lookup, then calls netif_receive_skb()/netif_rx()
- vlan_hwaccel_do_receive(), which is invoked by netif_receive_skb()
in softirq context, performs the real reception and delivery to
packet sockets.

Impact: Should permit VMware detection on older platforms where the
vendor is changed. Could theoretically cause a regression if some
weird serial number scheme contains the string "VMware" by pure
chance. Seems unlikely, especially with the mixed case.
In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific
DMI string, but the product serial key is always there and is VMware specific.
Add a interface to check the serial key, when checking for VMware in the DMI
information.

Impact: modify boot tracer
We used to disable the initcall tracing at a specified time (IE: end
of builtin initcalls). But we don't need it anymore. It will be
stopped when initcalls are finished.
However we want two things:
_Start this tracing only after pre-smp initcalls are finished.
_Since we are planning to trace sched_switches at the same time, we
want to enable them only during the initcall execution.
For this purpose, this patch introduce two functions to enable/disable
the sched_switch tracing during boot.

This patch adds a conditional update of last_rx to the bonding special

Impact: add new generic io_map_*() APIs
Graphics devices have large PCI apertures which would consume a significant
fraction of a 32-bit address space if mapped during driver initialization.
Using ioremap at runtime is impractical as it is too slow.
This new set of interfaces uses atomic mappings on 32-bit processors and a
large static mapping on 64-bit processors to provide reasonable 32-bit
performance and optimal 64-bit performance.
The current implementation sits atop the io_map_atomic fixmap-based
mechanism for 32-bit processors.

libata currently imposes a UDMA5 max transfer rate and 200 sector max
transfer size for SATA devices that sit behind a pata-sata bridge. Lots
of devices have known good bridges that don't need this limit applied.
The MTRON SSD disks are such devices. Transfer rates are increased by
20-30% with the restriction removed.
So add a "blacklist" entry for the MTRON devices, with a flag indicating
that the bridge is known good.

The init_phy() function attaches to the PHY, then configures the
SerDes<->TBI link (in SGMII mode). The TBI is on the MDIO bus with the PHY
(sort of) and is accessed via the gianfar's MDIO registers, using the
functions gfar_local_mdio_read/write(), which don't do any locking.
The previously attached PHY will start a work-queue on a timer, and
probably an irq handler as well, which will talk to the PHY and thus use
the MDIO bus. This uses phy_read/write(), which have locking, but not
against the gfar_local_mdio versions.
The result is that PHY code will try to use the MDIO bus at the same time
as the SerDes setup code, corrupting the transfers.
Setting up the SerDes before attaching to the PHY will insure that there is
no race between the SerDes code and *our* PHY, but doesn't fix everything.
Typically the PHYs for all gianfar devices are on the same MDIO bus, which
is associated with the first gianfar device. This means that the first
gianfar's SerDes code could corrupt the MDIO transfers for a different
gianfar's PHY.
The lock used by phy_read/write() is contained in the mii_bus structure,
which is pointed to by the PHY. This is difficult to access from the
gianfar drivers, as there is no link between a gianfar device and the
mii_bus which shares the same MDIO registers. As far as the device layer
and drivers are concerned they are two unrelated devices (which happen to
share registers).
Generally all gianfar devices' PHYs will be on the bus associated with the
first gianfar. But this might not be the case, so simply locking the
gianfar's PHY's mii bus might not lock the mii bus that the SerDes setup
code is going to use.
We solve this by having the code that creates the gianfar platform device
look in the device tree for an mdio device that shares the gianfar's
registers. If one is found the ID of its platform device is saved in the
gianfar's platform data.
A new function in the gianfar mii code, gfar_get_miibus(), can use the bus
ID to search through the platform devices for a gianfar_mdio device with
the right ID. The platform device's driver data is the mii_bus structure,
which the SerDes setup code can use to lock the current bus.

Impact: fix crashes that can occur in NMI handlers, if their code is modified
Modifying code is something that needs special care. On SMP boxes,
if code that is being modified is also being executed on another CPU,
that CPU will have undefined results.
The dynamic ftrace uses kstop_machine to make the system act like a
uniprocessor system. But this does not address NMIs, that can still
run on other CPUs.
One approach to handle this is to make all code that are used by NMIs
not be traced. But NMIs can call notifiers that spread throughout the
kernel and this will be very hard to maintain, and the chance of missing
a function is very high.
The approach that this patch takes is to have the NMIs modify the code
if the modification is taking place. The way this works is that just
writing to code executing on another CPU is not harmful if what is
written is the same as what exists.
Two buffers are used: an IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
The steps that the patcher takes are:
1) Put in the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
and the new code into the "code" buffer.
2) Set a flag that says we are modifying code
3) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
4) Write the code
5) clear the flag.
6) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
If an NMI is executed, it will also write the pending code.
Multiple writes are OK, because what is being written is the same.
Then the patcher must wait for all running NMIs to finish before
going to the next line that must be patched.
This is basically the RCU approach to code modification.

To allow XFS to combine the XFS and linux inodes into a single
structure, we need to drive inode lookup from the XFS inode cache,
not the generic inode cache. This means that we need initialise a
struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer
used by XFS.
After inode allocation and initialisation, we need to add the inode
to the superblock list, the in-use list, hash it and do some
accounting. This all needs to be done with the inode_lock held and
there are already several places in fs/inode.c that do this list
manipulation. Factor out the common code, add a locking wrapper and
export the function so ti can be called from XFS.
