At this point, no transports set any of the high 32 feature bits.
Since transports generally can't (yet) cope with such bits, add BUG_ON
checks to make sure they are not set by mistake.

Based on rproc patch by Rusty.

Change u32 to u64, and use BIT_ULL and 1ULL everywhere.

Note: transports are unchanged, and only set low 32 bit.
This guarantees that no transport sets e.g. VERSION_1
by mistake without proper support.

It seemed like a good idea to use bitmap for features
in struct virtio_device, but it's actually a pain,
and seems to become even more painful when we get more
than 32 feature bits.  Just change it to a u32 for now.

Based on patch by Rusty.

<title>mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argument</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).

It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days.  The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().

The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.

This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Tell the compiler that the inline assembler statement
references lguest_entry.

This fixes compile problems with LTO where the variable
and the assembler code may end up in different files.

<title>virtio_ring: change host notification API</title>

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in
the virtqueue of a particular virtio device.

Changing the notify API for guest-&gt;host notification seems to be one
prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context
where the kick is triggered.

This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a
bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed.

The symptoms are that running gdb on a binary causes the guest to
overflow the kernels stack (after some period of time), resulting in
it finally being killed with a "Bad address" message.
