7f30491ccd [IA64] Move include/asm-ia64 to arch/ia64/include/asm
After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:

1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>

2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.

3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.

94ad374a07 Fix off-by-one error in iov_iter_advance()
The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry
even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was
pointing past the end.  This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a
kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the
next page was unallocated.

The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there
is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself.

Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix.

0056e65f9e romfs_readpage: don't report errors for pages beyond i_size
We zero-fill them like we are supposed to, and that's all fine.  It's
only an error if the 'romfs_copyfrom()' routine isn't able to fill the
data that is supposed to be there.

Most of the patch is really just re-organizing the code a bit, and using
separate variables for the error value and for how much of the page we
actually filled from the filesystem.

still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64.
All simple regression tests pass on IA64.  Although features remain to be
added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the
kernel.  Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the
GRU driver.

The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset.  The GRU
contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space.  This memory
is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as
load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc.  The GRU is directly
accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses.  GRU
instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands.

The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to
processor TLBs.  Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual
address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types
of changes are made to the process page tables.  There are several MMUOPS
patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the
kernel.  The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli.

This patch:

Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used
by the driver to manage the GRU.

c627f9cc04 mm: add zap_vma_ptes(): a library function to unmap driver ptes
zap_vma_ptes() is intended to be used by drivers to unmap ptes assigned to the
driver private vmas.  This interface is similar to zap_page_range() but is
less general & less likely to be abused.

Needed by the GRU driver.

f718cd4add sched: make scheduler sysfs attributes sysdev class devices
They are really class devices, but were incorrectly declared.  This
leads to crashes with the recent changes that makes non normal sysdevs
use a different prototype.
