<content type='text'>
The generic memcpy routine provided in kernel does only byte copies.
Using word copies we can lower boot time and cycles spend in memcpy
quite significantly.

Booting on my de0 nano I see boot times go from 7.2 to 5.6 seconds.
The avg cycles in memcpy during boot go from 6467 to 1887.

I tested several algorithms (see code in previous patch mails)

The implementations I tested and avg cycles:
  - Word Copies + Loop Unrolls + Non Aligned    1882
  - Word Copies + Loop Unrolls                  1887
  - Word Copies                                 2441
  - Byte Copies + Loop Unrolls                  6467
  - Byte Copies                                 7600

In the end I ended up going with Word Copies + Loop Unrolls as it
provides best tradeoff between simplicity and boot speedups.

<title>ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.</title>

<id>b881bc469bdbdcca60e75047885509eb9886d3a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

<title>openrisc: delay: fix handling of counter overflow</title>

If the counter overflows during a __delay operation, we will exit the
loop prematurely. For example, calling __delay(0x100) with the counter
at 0xffffff00 gives us a target of 0x0. The unsigned comparison in the
while loop will likely be false on the first iteration (if the counter
is now anything other than 0) and we will return early.

This patch fixes the problem by comparing deltas in the loop rather than
absolute values.

The openrisc implementation of __const_udelay casts the result of a
32-bit multiplication to 64 bits and passes the top 32 bits to __delay.
Since there are no casts on the arguments, this results in a __delay of
zero, regardless of the xloops parameter.

This patch fixes the problem by casting xloops to (unsigned long long),
ensuring that the multiplication is not truncated.
