<content type='text'>
The console is now by default in UTF-8 mode.  Fix the documentation on
the default value, so that we can explain behaviour that otherwise
causes bug-reports like this:

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9319

Also add the needed "vt." prefix, so that the boot-time config options
to switch back to the legacy 8-bit mode is actually documented
correctly.

profile=sleep only works if CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is set. This patch notes
the limitation in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and prints a
warning at boot-time if profile=sleep is used without CONFIG_SCHEDSTAT.

<title>x86: Force enable HPET for CK804 (nForce 4) chipsets</title>

<id>d79a5f80dc1153d3f637dfcf3808066414fbb51a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on
the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset.

This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4
(LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3,
but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

Introduce intel_iommu=forcedac commandline option.  This option is helpful to
verify the pci device capability of handling physical dma'able address greater
than 4G.

Actual intel IOMMU driver.  Hardware spec can be found at:
http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization

This driver sets X86_64 'dma_ops', so hook into standard DMA APIs.  In this
way, PCI driver will get virtual DMA address.  This change is transparent to
PCI drivers.
