50af2fa1e1 libata: ignore SIMG4726 config pseudo device
I was hoping ATA_HORKAGE_NODMA | ATA_HORKAGE_SKIP_PM could keep it
happy but no even this doesn't work under certain configurations and
it's not like we can do anything useful with the cofig device anyway.
Replace ATA_HORKAGE_SKIP_PM with ATA_HORKAGE_DISABLE and use it for
the config device.  This makes the device completely ignored by
libata.

bf1bff6fa9 libata: increase PMP register access timeout to 3s
This timeout was set low because previously PMP register access was
done via polling and register access timeouts could stack up.  This is
no longer the case.  One timeout will make all following accesses fail
immediately.

In rare cases both marvell and SIMG PMPs need almost a second.  Bump
it to 3s.

While at it, rename it to SATA_PMP_RW_TIMEOUT.  It's not specific to
SCR access.

a442ac512f Clean up 'print_fn_descriptor_symbol()' types
Everybody wants to pass it a function pointer, and in fact, that is what
you _must_ pass it for it to make sense (since it knows that ia64 and
ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual
address from there).

So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to
add a cast.

9c8387afdc [POWERPC] Fix uninitialized variable bug in copy_{to|from}_user
Calls to copy_to_user() or copy_from_user() can fail when copying N
bytes, where N is a constant less than 8, but not 1, 2, 4, or 8,
because 'ret' is not initialized and is only set if the size is 1,
2, 4 or 8, but is tested after the switch statement for any constant
size <= 8.  This fixes it by initializing 'ret' to 1, causing the
code to fall through to the __copy_tofrom_user call for sizes other
than 1, 2, 4 or 8.

cec08e7a94 [POWERPC] vmemmap fixes to use smaller pages
This changes vmemmap to use a different region (region 0xf) of the
address space, and to configure the page size of that region
dynamically at boot.

The problem with the current approach of always using 16M pages is that
it's not well suited to machines that have small amounts of memory such
as small partitions on pseries, or PS3's.

In fact, on the PS3, failure to allocate the 16M page backing vmmemmap
tends to prevent hotplugging the HV's "additional" memory, thus limiting
the available memory even more, from my experience down to something
like 80M total, which makes it really not very useable.

The logic used by my match to choose the vmemmap page size is:

 - If 16M pages are available and there's 1G or more RAM at boot,
   use that size.
 - Else if 64K pages are available, use that
 - Else use 4K pages

I've tested on a POWER6 (16M pages) and on an iSeries POWER3 (4K pages)
and it seems to work fine.

Note that I intend to change the way we organize the kernel regions &
SLBs so the actual region will change from 0xf back to something else at
one point, as I simplify the SLB miss handler, but that will be for a
later patch.

1c12c4cf94 mprotect: prevent alteration of the PAT bits
There is a defect in mprotect, which lets the user change the page cache
type bits by-passing the kernel reserve_memtype and free_memtype
wrappers.  Fix the problem by not letting mprotect change the PAT bits.
