MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated.

We know that the randomisation slows down some workloads on Transmeta CPUs
by quite large amounts. We think it's because the CPU needs to recode the
same x86 instructions when they pop up at a different virtual address after
a fork+exec.
So disable randomization by default on those CPUs.

If there are devices that use interrupts over a suspend event, ACPI must
restore the PCI interrupt links on resume. Anything else breaks any
device that hasn't been converted to the new (dubious) PM rules.
Drivers that need the irq free/re-aquire sequence can be done one by one
independently of this one.
There's no real guarantee that handle_mm_fault() will always be able to
break a COW situation - if an update from another thread ends up
modifying the page table some way, handle_mm_fault() may end up
requiring us to re-try the operation.
That's normally fine, but get_user_pages() ended up re-trying it as a
read, and thus a write access could in theory end up losing the dirty
bit or be done on a page that had not been properly COW'ed.
This makes get_user_pages() always retry write accesses as write
accesses by making "follow_page()" require that a writable follow has
the dirty bit set. That simplifies the code and solves the race: if the
COW break fails for some reason, we'll just loop around and try again.

This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.
Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]
Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2
where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:
' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '
in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?
I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!
The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.
The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.

SCSI=m must disallow static drivers.
The problem is that all the SATA drivers depend on SCSI_SATA.
With SCSI=m and SCSI_SATA=y this allows the static enabling of the SATA
drivers with unwanted effects, e.g.:
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA is built statically but scsi/built-in.o is not linked
into the kernel
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y, SCSI_SATA_AHCI=m
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA and libata are built statically but
scsi/built-in.o is not linked into the kernel,
SCSI_SATA_AHCI is built modular (unresolved symbols due to missing
libata)

The bug is evident when it is seen once. dst gc timer was backed off,
when gc queue is not empty. But this means that timer quickly backs off,
if at least one destination remains in use. Normally, the bug is invisible,
because adding new dst entry to queue cancels the backoff. But it shots
deadly with destination cache overflow when new destinations are not released
for long time f.e. after an interface goes down.
The fix is to cancel backoff when something was released.
