With cleanups from Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to
mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller
memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift
and load when fetching the memory section. The current SPARSEMEM
implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the
default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates the
implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.
SPARSEMEM_EXTREME requires bootmem to be functioning at the time of
memory_present() calls. This is not always feasible, so architectures
which do not need it may allocate everything statically by using
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.

A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Architecture
platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to
select this option. For those architecture platforms that don't select the
option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm.
I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of

which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates

array.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false.
I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.
I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
and tested with aim.

The crypto layer currently uses in_atomic() to determine whether it is
allowed to sleep. This is incorrect since spin locks don't always cause
in_atomic() to return true.
Instead of that, this patch returns to an earlier idea of a per-tfm flag
which determines whether sleeping is allowed. Unlike the earlier version,
the default is to not allow sleeping. This ensures that no existing code
can break.
As usual, this flag may either be set through crypto_alloc_tfm(), or
just before a specific crypto operation.

Currently tun/tap only supports the EN10MB ARP type. For use with

The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate
whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and
some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to
immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a
feature.)
There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is
lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS
is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would
allow the transmitter to drain before stopping.
There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter
drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters
to send.
Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this
flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and
allow transmitter to drain" case.

The idea behind a RAID class is to provide a uniform interface to all
RAID subsystems (both hardware and software) in the kernel.
To do that, I've made this class a transport class that's entirely
subsystem independent (although the matching routines have to match per
subsystem, as you'll see looking at the code). I put it in the scsi
subdirectory purely because I needed somewhere to play with it, but it's
not a scsi specific module.
I used a fusion raid card as the test bed for this; with that kind of
card, this is the type of class output you get:
jejb@titanic> ls -l /sys/class/raid_devices/20\:0\:0\:0/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 component-0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:0/20:1:0:0/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 component-1 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:1/20:1:1:0/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:0:0/20:0:0:0/
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 level
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 resync
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 state
So it's really simple: for a SCSI device representing a hardware raid,
it shows the raid level, the array state, the resync % complete (if the
state is resyncing) and the underlying components of the RAID (these are
exposed in fusion on the virtual channel 1).
As you can see, this type of information can be exported by almost
anything, including software raid.
The more difficult trick, of course, is going to be getting it to
perform configuration type actions with writable attributes.

One of the changes in the attribute_container code in the scsi-misc tree
was to add a lock to protect the list of devices per container. This,
unfortunately, leads to potential scheduling while atomic problems if
there's a sleep in the function called by a trigger.
The correct solution is to use the kernel klist infrastructure instead
which allows lockless traversal of a list.

ATAPI is getting close to being ready. To increase exposure, we enable
the code in the upstream kernel, but default it to off (present
behavior). Users must pass atapi_enabled=1 as a module option (if
module) or on the kernel command line (if built in) to turn on
discovery of their ATAPI devices.

This changes timestamp, timestamp echo, and elapsed time to use units of 10
usecs as per DCCP spec. This has been tested to verify that times are correct.
Also fixed up length and used hton/ntoh more.
Still to add in later patches:
- actually use elapsed time to adjust RTT
(commented out as was prior to this patch)
- send options at times more closely following the spec
(content is now correct)

Protocols that make extensive use of SKB cloning,
for example TCP, eat at least 2 allocations per
packet sent as a result.
To cut the kmalloc() count in half, we implement
a pre-allocation scheme wherein we allocate
2 sk_buff objects in advance, then use a simple
reference count to free up the memory at the
correct time.
Based upon an initial patch by Thomas Graf and
suggestions from Herbert Xu.

Using the group number allows increasing the number of groups without
beeing limited by the size of the bitmask. It introduces one limitation
for netlink users: messages can't be broadcasted to multiple groups anymore,
