Rather than have architectures #define ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in an
architecture specific scatterlist.h, make it a proper Kconfig option and
use that instead.  At same time, remove the header files are are now
mostly useless and just include asm-generic/scatterlist.h.

Pull sparc updates from David Miller:

 1) Add sparc RAM output to /proc/iomem, from Bob Picco.

 2) Allow seeks on /dev/mdesc, from Khalid Aziz.

 3) Cleanup sparc64 I/O accessors, from Sam Ravnborg.

 4) If update_mmu_cache{,_pmd}() is called with an not-valid mapping, do
    not insert it into the TLB miss hash tables otherwise we'll
    livelock.  Based upon work by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

 5) Fix BREAK detection in sunsab driver when no actual characters are
    pending, from Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

 6) Because we have modules --&gt; openfirmware --&gt; vmalloc ordering of
    virtual memory, the lazy VMAP TLB flusher can cons up an invocation
    of flush_tlb_kernel_range() that covers the openfirmware address
    range.  Unfortunately this will flush out the firmware's locked TLB
    mapping which causes all kinds of trouble.  Just split up the flush
    request if this happens, but in the long term the lazy VMAP flusher
    should probably be made a little bit smarter.

    Based upon work by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze.

<id>4ca9a23765da3260058db3431faf5b4efd8cf926</id>
<content type='text'>
Based almost entirely upon a patch by Christopher Alexander Tobias
Schulze.

In commit db64fe02258f1507e13fe5212a989922323685ce ("mm: rewrite vmap
layer") lazy VMAP tlb flushing was added to the vmalloc layer.  This
causes problems on sparc64.

Sparc64 has two VMAP mapped regions and they are not contiguous with
eachother.  First we have the malloc mapping area, then another
unrelated region, then the vmalloc region.

This "another unrelated region" is where the firmware is mapped.

If the lazy TLB flushing logic in the vmalloc code triggers after
we've had both a module unload and a vfree or similar, it will pass an
address range that goes from somewhere inside the malloc region to
somewhere inside the vmalloc region, and thus covering the
openfirmware area entirely.

The sparc64 kernel learns about openfirmware's dynamic mappings in
this region early in the boot, and then services TLB misses in this
area.  But openfirmware has some locked TLB entries which are not
mentioned in those dynamic mappings and we should thus not disturb
them.

These huge lazy TLB flush ranges causes those openfirmware locked TLB
entries to be removed, resulting in all kinds of problems including
hard hangs and crashes during reboot/reset.

Besides causing problems like this, such huge TLB flush ranges are
also incredibly inefficient.  A plea has been made with the author of
the VMAP lazy TLB flushing code, but for now we'll put a safety guard
into our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation.

Since the implementation has become non-trivial, stop defining it as a
macro and instead make it a function in a C source file.

Several of the small IO functions ended up having the same implementation.
Use __raw_{read,write}* + {read,write}* as base for the others.

Continue to use static inline functions to get full type check.
The size of vmlinux for a defconfig build was the same when
using static inline and macros for the functions - so there
was no size win when using macros.

This was tested with gcc 4.8.2 + binutils 2.24.
For such simple constructs I assume older gcc's will
do the same job.
