<title>alpha: move __udiv_qrnnd library function to arch/alpha/lib/</title>

We already had the implementation for __udiv_qrnnd (unsigned divide for
multi-precision arithmetic) as part of the alpha math emulation code.

But you can disable the math emulation code - even if you shouldn't -
and then the MPI code that actually wants this functionality (and is
needed by various crypto functions) will fail to build.

So move the extended-precision divide code to be a regular library
function, just like all the regular division code is.  That way ie is
available regardless of math-emulation.

<title>alpha: make 'Jensen' IO functions build again</title>

<id>cc9d3aaa5331577a8658e25473a27ba5949023d8</id>
<content type='text'>
The Jensen IO functions are overly copmplicated because some of the IO
addresses refer to special 'local IO' ports, and they get accessed
differently.

That then makes gcc not actually inline them, and since they were marked
"extern inline" when included through the regular &lt;asm/io.h&gt; path, and
then only marked "inline" when included from sys_jensen.c, you never
necessarily got a body for the IO functions at all.

The intent of the sys_jensen.c code is to actually get the non-inlined
copy generated, so remove the 'inline' from the magic macro that is
supposed to sort this all out.

Also, do not mix 'extern inline' functions (that may or may not be
inlined and will not generate a function body if they are not) with
'static inline' (that _will_ generate a function body when not inlined).
Because gcc will complain about this situation:

   error: ‘jensen_bus_outb’ is static but used in inline function ‘jensen_outb’ which is not static

because gcc basically doesn't know whether to generate a body for that
static inline function or not for that call site.

So make all of these use that __EXTERN_INLINE marker.  Gcc will
generally not inline these things on use, and then generate the function
body out-of-line in sys_jensen.c.

This makes the core IO functions build for the alpha Jensen config.

Not that the rest then builds, because it turns out Jensen also doesn't
enable PCI, which then makes other drievrs very unhappy, but that's a
separate issue.

<title>alpha: Declare virt_to_phys and virt_to_bus parameter as pointer to volatile</title>

<content type='text'>
Some drivers pass a pointer to volatile data to virt_to_bus() and
virt_to_phys(), and that works fine.  One exception is alpha.  This
results in a number of compile errors such as

  drivers/net/wan/lmc/lmc_main.c: In function 'lmc_softreset':
  drivers/net/wan/lmc/lmc_main.c:1782:50: error:
	passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_bus' discards 'volatile'
	qualifier from pointer target type

  drivers/atm/ambassador.c: In function 'do_loader_command':
  drivers/atm/ambassador.c:1747:58: error:
	passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_bus' discards 'volatile'
	qualifier from pointer target type

Declare the parameter of virt_to_phys and virt_to_bus as pointer to
volatile to fix the problem.

alpha:allmodconfig fails to build with the following error
when using gcc 11.x.

  arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c: In function 'setup_arch':
  arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c:493:13: error:
	'strcmp' reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0

Avoid the problem by declaring COMMAND_LINE as absolute_pointer().

<title>alpha: Move setup.h out of uapi</title>

Most of the contents of setup.h have no value for userspace
applications.  The file was probably moved to uapi accidentally.

Keep the file in uapi to define the alpha-specific COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
Move all other defines to arch/alpha/include/asm/setup.h.
