e500 KVM tries to bypass __kvm_faultin_pfn() in order to map VM_PFNMAP
VMAs as huge pages.  This is a Bad Idea because VM_PFNMAP VMAs could
become noncontiguous as a result of callsto remap_pfn_range().

Instead, use the already existing host PTE lookup to retrieve a
valid host-side mapping level after __kvm_faultin_pfn() has
returned.  Then find the largest size that will satisfy the
guest's request while staying within a single host PTE.

The new __kvm_faultin_pfn() function is upset by the fact that e500 KVM
ignores host page permissions - __kvm_faultin requires a "writable"
outgoing argument, but e500 KVM is nonchalantly passing NULL.

If the host page permissions do not include writability, the shadow
TLB entry is forcibly mapped read-only.

Add the possibility of marking a page so that the UW and SW bits are

kvmppc_e500_ref_setup is returning whether the guest TLB entry is writable,
which is than passed to kvm_release_faultin_page.  This makes little sense
for two reasons: first, because the function sets up the private data for
the page and the return value feels like it has been bolted on the side;
second, because what really matters is whether the _shadow_ TLB entry is
writable.  If it is not writable, the page can be released as non-dirty.
Shift from using tlbe_is_writable(gtlbe) to doing the same check on
the shadow TLB entry.

If find_linux_pte fails, IRQs will not be restored.  This is unlikely
to happen in practice since it would have been reported as hanging
hosts, but it should of course be fixed anyway.

The mapping VMA address is saved in VAS window struct when the
paste address is mapped. This VMA address is used during migration
to unmap the paste address if the window is active. The paste
address mapping will be removed when the window is closed or with
the munmap(). But the VMA address in the VAS window is not updated
with munmap() which is causing invalid access during migration.

This patch adds close() callback in vas_vm_ops vm_operations_struct
which will be executed during munmap() before freeing VMA. The VMA
address in the VAS window is set to NULL after holding the window
mmap_mutex.

This patch adds close() callback in vas_vm_ops vm_operations_struct
which will be executed during munmap() before freeing VMA. The VMA
address in the VAS window is set to NULL after holding the window
mmap_mutex.

<title>fbdev: Fix recursive dependencies wrt BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE</title>

Do not select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE from FB_BACKLIGHT. The latter
only controls backlight support within fbdev core code and data
structures.

Make fbdev drivers depend on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE and let users
select it explicitly. Fixes warnings about recursive dependencies,
such as

error: recursive dependency detected!
	symbol BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is selected by FB_BACKLIGHT
	symbol FB_BACKLIGHT is selected by FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC
	symbol FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC depends on FB_DEVICE
	symbol FB_DEVICE depends on FB_CORE
	symbol FB_CORE is selected by DRM_GEM_DMA_HELPER
	symbol DRM_GEM_DMA_HELPER is selected by DRM_PANEL_ILITEK_ILI9341
	symbol DRM_PANEL_ILITEK_ILI9341 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE

BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is user-selectable, so making drivers adapt to
it is the correct approach in any case. For most drivers, backlight
support is also configurable separately.

v3:
- Select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE in PowerMac defconfigs (Christophe)
- Fix PMAC_BACKLIGHT module dependency corner cases (Christophe)
v2:
- s/BACKLIGHT_DEVICE_CLASS/BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE (Helge)
- Fix fbdev driver-dependency corner case (Arnd)
