Naming interrupt domains host is confusing at best and the irqdomain code
uses both domain and host inconsistently.

Therefore rename irq_set_default_host() to irq_set_default_domain().

The Cell blade support was the last user of DCR_MMIO, so it can now
be removed.

That only leaves DCR_NATIVE, meaning the DCR generic layer which allows
using either DCR_NATIVE or DCR_MMIO is also unnecessary, remove it too.

CONFIG_PPC_PMI is no longer selectable now that PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE has
been removed, via the dependency on PPC_IBM_CELL_POWERBUTTON.

So remove it and the driver, and the pmi.h header which it was the only

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory.  In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required.  To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`.  This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

<title>powerpc/xive: Use cpumask_intersects()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=6da1cab4f5f8eb778fd61f0eb6ca5b0a011dd44d'/>
<id>6da1cab4f5f8eb778fd61f0eb6ca5b0a011dd44d</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace `cpumask_any_and(a, b) &gt;= nr_cpu_ids`
with the more readable `!cpumask_intersects(a, b)`.

Comparison between cpumask_any_and() and cpumask_intersects()

The cpumask_any_and() function expands using FIND_FIRST_BIT(),
resulting in a loop that iterates through each bit of the bitmask:

for (idx = 0; idx * BITS_PER_LONG &lt; sz; idx++) {
	val = (FETCH);
	if (val) {
		sz = min(idx * BITS_PER_LONG + __ffs(MUNGE(val)), sz);
		break;
	}
}

The cpumask_intersects() function expands using __bitmap_intersects(),
resulting in that the first loop iterates through each long word of the bitmask,
and the second through each bit within a long word:

unsigned int k, lim = bits/BITS_PER_LONG;
for (k = 0; k &lt; lim; ++k)
	if (bitmap1[k] &amp; bitmap2[k])
		return true;

if (bits % BITS_PER_LONG)
	if ((bitmap1[k] &amp; bitmap2[k]) &amp; BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK(bits))
		return true;

Conclusion: cpumask_intersects() is at least as efficient as cpumask_any_and(),
if not more so, as it typically performs fewer loops and comparisons.

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all pwm drivers to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop
struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have
the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure
member name in the driver initializer.
