This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself
is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that
contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a
'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick.
IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as
you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or
'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the
seconds field).
[ Updated Patch. As penance for my sins I've also yanked another #ifdef
that was added to avoid the xtime lag w/ hrtimers. ]

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.
This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.

We can't mark the whole thing init because there are dependencies
in bootloaders that assume that _start, or whatever the image
entry value, is 2 instructions before the "HdrS" signature.
In fact, TILO assumes this entry is always at 0x4000, yikes!
Also, right after the bootloader info area there are OBP strings and
values that get used later in the boot process, and those are not all
provably .init yet.

ACPI implementations in several TOSHIBA laptops are weird and burn cpu
cycles for tens of seconds while trying to suspend if the PCI device
for the ATA controller is disabled when the ACPI suspend is called.
This patch uses DMI to match those machines and bypass device disable
on those machines during suspend. As the device needs to be put into
enabled state on resume without affecting PCI enable count, matching
resume callback uses __pci_reenable_device().
This bug is reported in bugzilla bug 7780.

Some odd ACPI implementations choke if certain controller is disabled
when ACPI suspend is invoked but we still need to make sure the PCI
device is enabled during resume. Simply using pci_enable_device()
unbalances device enable count. Export __pci_reenable_device().

Sparc optimized memset (arch/sparc/lib/memset.S) does not fill last
byte of the memory area, if area size is less than 8 bytes and start
address is not word (4-bytes) aligned.
Here is code chunk where bug located:
/* %o0 - memory address, %o1 - size, %g3 - value */
8:
add %o0, 1, %o0
subcc %o1, 1, %o1
bne,a 8b
stb %g3, [%o0 - 1]
This code should write byte every loop iteration, but last time delay
instruction stb is not executed because branch instruction sets
"annul" bit.
Patch replaces bne,a by bne instruction.

Fixed rare issue that 'lv1_net_start_rx_dma failed, status=-9" was shown
in dmesg. This meant restarting rx DMA had been rejected by the hypervisor.
This issue would caused if the guest os requested starting DMA when
the hypervisor thought the DMA was in progress.
The state machine for DMA status of the hypervisor would be updated
by processing interrupt in the hypervisor.
Thus we should wait for the interrupt delivery before restarting
DMA.
