VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation.  To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.

This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

Remove 16 bytes of padding from struct amd_iommu on 64bit builds
reducing its size to 120 bytes, allowing it to span one fewer
cachelines.

Impact: do not expose a control that has no effect

Fix to prevent sched_mc_power_saving from being exported through sysfs
on single-socket systems. (Say multicore single socket (Laptop))

CPU core map of the boot cpu should be equal to possible number
of cpus for single socket system.

This fix has been developed at FOSS.in kernel workout.

All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every
new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another).

Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also
kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after
__ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.

Devices like b44 ethernet can't dma from addresses above 1GB. The driver
handles this cases by falling back to GFP_DMA allocation. But for detecting
the problem it needs to get an indication from dma_mapping_error.
The bug is triggered by using a VMSPLIT option of 2G/2G.

Impact: fix boot crash on AMD IOMMU if CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is off

Currently these macros evaluate to a no-op except the kernel is compiled
with GART or Calgary support. But we also need these macros when we have
SWIOTLB, VT-d or AMD IOMMU in the kernel. Since we always compile at
least with SWIOTLB we can define these macros always.

This patch is also for stable backport for the same reason the SWIOTLB
default selection patch is.
