This change resolves the problem of too many single page entries
in pat_memtype_list and "freeing invalid memtype" errors with i915,
reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123845244713183&w=2
Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.
This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.
Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region
is coming soon.

As per SDM, there should not be any aliasing of a WC with any cacheable
type across CPUs. That is if one CPU is changing the identity map
memtype to _WC, no other CPU at the time of this change should not have a
TLB for this page that carries a WB attribute. SDM suggests to make the
page not present. But for that we will have to handle any page faults
that can potentially happen due to these pages being not present.
Other way to deal with this without having any WB mapping is to change
the page first to UC and then to WC. This ensures that we meet the SDM
requirement of no cacheable alais to WC page. This also has same or
lower overhead than marking the page not present and making it present
later.

Change the identity mapping with the requested attribute first, before
we setup the virtual memory mapping with the new requested attribute.
This makes sure that there is no window when identity map'ed attribute
may disagree with ioremap range on the attribute type.
This also avoids doing cpa on the ioremap'ed address twice (first in
ioremap_page_range and then in ioremap_change_attr using vaddr), and
should improve ioremap performance a bit.

To simplify level irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping,
Suresh used a virtual vector (io-apic pin number) to eliminate io-apic
RTE modification. Level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to
the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. So in addition to
do the local apic EOI, it still needs to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear
the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. Pls refer to Suresh's patch for
more details (commit 0280f7c416).
Now interrupt remapping is decoupled from x2apic, it also needs to do the
directed EOI for apic. Otherwise, apic interrupts won't work correctly.

The rewrite of the setup code into C resequenced the font setting and
register reprogramming phases of configuring nonstandard VGA modes
which use 480 scan lines in text mode. However, there exists at least
one board (Micro-Star MS-7383 version 2.0) on which this resequencing
causes an unusable display.
Revert to the original sequencing: set up 480-line mode, install the
font, and then adjust the vertical end register appropriately.
This failure was masked by the fact that the 480-line setup was broken
until checkin 5f64135612 (therefore this
is not a -stable candidate bug fix.)

The code that enables branch tracing for all (non-constant) branches
plays games with the preprocessor and #define's the C 'if ()' construct
to do tracing.
That's all fine, but it fails for some unusual but valid C code that is
sometimes used in macros, notably by the intel-iommu code:
if (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) ..
because now the preprocessor complains about multiple arguments to the
'if' macro.
So make the macro expansion of this particularly horrid trick use
varargs, and handle the case of comma-expressions in if-statements. Use
another macro to do it cleanly in just one place.
This replaces a patch by David (and acked by Steven) that did this all
inside that one already-too-horrid macro.

There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(),
splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write():
- task A calls generic_file_splice_write()
- this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both
pipe->inode and target inode
- ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is
locked first
- __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait()
- this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep
- task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first
- this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is
already held by task A
- task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as
it is already held by task B
- ABBA deadlock
Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on
target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked)
must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes
form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends
are not called with a target which is a pipe.

After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility
issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode;
CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs
didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk. A few users gave us the report
that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs,
and it turned out to be the cause.
Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support
nanosecond timestamps on this occation. Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit
field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this
purpose without impact for the users.
So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

The former versions didn't have extra super blocks. This improves the
weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of
the partition.
This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore
the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't
exist. The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region,
but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added.
This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future

complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep
consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this
presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop
maintaining its real flag on disk.
Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is
reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl
struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the
cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly.

Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates
such as checkpoint mode change. So, user often sees checkpoints created
only by such internal operations.
This is inconvenient in some situations. For example, application that
monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall into an
infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created
checkpoints.
This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint for
