 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

My previous patch fixing invalidation of huge PTEs wasn't good enough, we
still had an issue if a PTE invalidation batch contained both small and
large pages.  This patch fixes this by making sure the batch is flushed if
the page size fed to it changes.

<title>[PATCH] ppc64: SMU driver update &amp; i2c support</title>

The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5.  It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...

The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously.  This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors.  This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

<title>[PATCH] ppc64: Add definitions for new PTRACE calls</title>

- Add PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG/PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG. The definition is
  as follows:

/*
 * Get or set a debug register. The first 16 are DABR registers and the
 * second 16 are IABR registers.
 */
#define PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG    25
#define PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG    26

  DABR == data breakpoint and IABR = instruction breakpoint in IBM
  speak. We could split out the IABR into 2 more ptrace calls but I
  figured there was no need and 16 DABR registers should be more
  than enough (POWER4/POWER5 have one).

- Add 2 new SIGTRAP si_codes: TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRANCH. I couldnt
  find any standards on either of these so I copied what ia64 is
  doing. Again this might be better placed in
  include/asm-generic/siginfo.h

The ptrace get and set methods for VMX/Altivec registers present in the
ppc tree were missing for ppc64.  This patch adds the 32-bit and
64-bit methods.  Updated with the suggestions from Anton following the lines
of his code snippet.

Added:
 - flush_altivec_to_thread calls as suggested by Anton
 - piecewise copy of structure to preserve 32-bit vrsave data as per
   Anton

(I consolidated the 32 and 64bit versions with 2 helper macros - Anton)

<title>ppc64: Set up PCI tree from Open Firmware device tree</title>

<content type='text'>
This adds code which gives us the option on ppc64 of instantiating the
PCI tree (the tree of pci_bus and pci_dev structs) from the Open
Firmware device tree rather than by probing PCI configuration space.
The OF device tree has a node for each PCI device and bridge in the
system, with properties that tell us what addresses the firmware has
configured for them and other details.

There are a couple of reasons why this is needed.  First, on systems
with a hypervisor, there is a PCI-PCI bridge per slot under the PCI
host bridges.  These PCI-PCI bridges have special isolation features
for virtualization.  We can't write to their config space, and we are
not supposed to be reading their config space either.  The firmware
tells us about the address ranges that they pass in the OF device
tree.

Secondly, on powermacs, the interrupt controller is in a PCI device
that may be behind a PCI-PCI bridge.  If we happened to take an
interrupt just at the point when the device or a bridge on the path to
it was disabled for probing, we would crash when we try to access the
interrupt controller.

I have implemented a platform-specific function which is called for
each PCI bridge (host or PCI-PCI) to say whether the code should look
in the device tree or use normal PCI probing for the devices under
that bridge.  On pSeries machines we use the device tree if we're
running under a hypervisor, otherwise we use normal probing.  On
powermacs we use normal probing for the AGP bridge, since the device
for the AGP bridge itself isn't shown in the device tree (at least on
my G5), and the device tree for everything else.

This has been tested on a dual G5 powermac, a partition on a POWER5
machine (running under the hypervisor), and a legacy iSeries
partition.
