<content type='text'>
The previous commit already disabled building oprofile, lets remove the
oprofile directory now.

<title>mmap locking API: use coccinelle to convert mmap_sem rwsem call sites</title>

This change converts the existing mmap_sem rwsem calls to use the new mmap
locking API instead.

The change is generated using coccinelle with the following rule:

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "A pretty small batch for us, and apologies for it being a bit late, I
  wanted to sneak Christophe's user_access_begin() series in.

  Summary:

   - Implement user_access_begin() and friends for our platforms that
     support controlling kernel access to userspace.

   - Enable CONFIG_VMAP_STACK on 32-bit Book3S and 8xx.

   - Some tweaks to our pseries IOMMU code to allow SVMs ("secure"
     virtual machines) to use the IOMMU.

   - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 32-bit
     VDSO, and some other improvements.

   - A series to use the PCI hotplug framework to control opencapi
     card's so that they can be reset and re-read after flashing a new
     FPGA image.

  As well as other minor fixes and improvements as usual.

<content type='text'>
In order to avoid needless #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT checks,
move the compat_ptr() definition to linux/compat.h
where it can be seen by any file regardless of the
architecture.

Only s390 needs a special definition, this can use the
self-#define trick we have elsewhere.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
