The mpic interrupt controller driver (used on G5 and early pSeries among
others) has a bug where it doesn't get the right virtual address for the
timer registers.  It causes the driver to poke at the MMIO space of
whatever has been mapped just next to it (ouch !) when initializing and
causes boot failures on some IBM machines.

This fixes a stupid typo bug in the iSeries hash table code.

When we place a hash PTE in the secondary bucket, instead of setting the
SECONDARY flag bit, as we should, we (redundantly) set the VALID flag.

This was introduced with the patch abolishing bitfields from the hash
table code.  Mea culpa, oops.  It hasn't been noticed until now because
in practice we don't hit the secondary bucket terribly often.

While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our
update_mmu_cache() implementation.

The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type
of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and
_PAGE_USER of the linux PTE.  The latter is useless in this case and the
former is wrong.  In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass
_PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty
that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want.

In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only
read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The
(hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded
this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

This fixes a typo in the div128_by_32 function used in the timekeeping
calculations on ppc64.  If you look at the code it's quite obvious
that we need (rb + c) rather than (rb + b).  The "b" is clearly just a
typo.

The implementation of __kernel_gettimeofday() in the 32 bits vDSO has a
small bug (a typo actually) that will cause it to lose 1 bit of precision.
Not terribly bad but worth fixing.

pSeries_irq_bus_setup is marked __devinit but references s7a_workaround
which is marked __initdata.

Depending on who got the memory for s7a_workaround (and if the value was
now positive), it was possible for PCI hotplugged devices to have 3
subtracted from their interrupt number.  This would happen randomly and
caused me much confusion :)

 - 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.
