The map size counter passed into, and back out of, sanitize_e820_map(),
was an eight bit type (char or u8), as derived from its origins in
legacy BIOS E820 structures. This patch changes that type to an 'int',
to allow this sanitize routine to also be used on larger maps (larger
than the 256 count that fits in a char). The legacy BIOS E820 interface
of course does not change; that remains at 8 bits for this count, holding
up to E820MAX == 128 entries. But the kernel internals can handle more
when those additional memory map entries are passed from the BIOS via
EFI interfaces.

Extend internal boot time memory tables to allow for up to
three entries per node, which may be larger than the 128 E820MAX
entries handled by the legacy BIOS E820 interface. The EFI
interface, if present, is capable of passing memory map
entries for these larger node counts.
This patch requires an earlier patch that rewrote code depending
on these array sizes from using E820MAX explicitly to size loops,
to instead using ARRAY_SIZE() of the applicable array.
Another patch following this one will provide the code to pick
up additional memory entries passed via the EFI interface from
the BIOS and insert them in the following, now enlarged, arrays.

This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more
memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86
legacy BIOS E820 interface. The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX ==
128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the
size for several arrays and loops over those arrays.
The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those
arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro
evaluated for the array being looped. That way, a subsequent patch can
change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code.
This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine,
which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries.
This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array. Once again,
this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some
calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code.
As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further
combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for
this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration.
This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel
binary.

The use of #defines with '##' pre-processor concatenation is a useful
way to form several symbol names with a common pattern. But when there
is just a single name obtained from that #define, it's just obfuscation.
Better to just write the plain symbol name, as is.
The following patch is a result of my wasting ten minutes looking through
the kernel to figure out what 'PB_migrate_end' meant, and forgetting what
I came to do, by the time I figured out that the #define PB_range macro
defined it.

The x86_64 code has centralized the memory setup code in
e820_64.c. This patch copies that approach to i386:
- early_param("mem", ...) parsing is moved from
setup_32.c to e820_32.c.
- setup_memory_map() and finish_e820_parsing() are
factored out from setup_arch(), and declarations
are added to e820_32.h.
- print_memory_map() is made static and removed from
e820_32.h.
- user_defined_memmap is marked as __initdata.

"I notice that none of the current softirq routines use the data element

remove that extra argument to save 128 (54) bytes of kernel data (text).

I introduced a new macro DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() to avoid
wasting this space. All page aligned variables (only one at this time)
are put in a separate
subsection .data.percpu.page_aligned, at the very begining of percpu zone.

high-availability systems might opt for this strict method (combined

softlockup warnings ad infinitum.
also, automated tests work better if the system reboots reliably (into

When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.
For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.
We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
- We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
- We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
information.
The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed. If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error. So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.
Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded). Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.
Issue: If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available, do we want to:
1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
parallel.
Both options can be argued for. The code currently takes option 2 as
a/ this requires least code change
b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed
(Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed. In
these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays
that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit.
So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in
parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.
