<title>dma-mapping: remove dma_is_consistent API</title>

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.

Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.

Let's remove this API.

<title>um, x86: Cast to (u64 *) inside set_64bit()</title>

<content type='text'>
After tightening up the types passed to set_64bit(), the cast to
(phys_t *) triggers a warning apparently because phys_t is defined as
"unsigned long" when building on 64 bits; however, u64 is defined as
"unsigned long long".  This is, however, a explicit cast inside a
size-specific call, so just make the cast explicitly (u64 *).

Redirect arch_hweight.h include from the x86 portion to the generic

dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device supports a partial sync so there is no
point to have dma_sync_single_range (also dma_sync_single was obsoleted
long ago, replaced with dma_sync_single_for_cpu/for_device).

There is no user of dma_sync_single_range() in mainline and only Alpha
architecture supports dma_sync_single_range().  So it's unlikely that
someone out of the tree uses it.

<content type='text'>
Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in &lt;asm/ptrace.h&gt; and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.

XXX: I'm not sure arch_has_single_step() is placed in the exactly correct
location, please verify in which of the ptrace headers it should really
be.
