This patch adds MSIOF and mmc_spi platform data for
the CN11 port on the SuperH Ecovec24 board. No card
detect interrupt is available so the MMC code is
configured to poll. The WP signal is implemented
together with CD and power control. The board only
supports 3.3V power.
The platform data is wrapped in SDHI #ifdefs to
allow both the SDHI and the MSIOF to coexist. Only
one configuration is allowed at a time. The pin
routing is selected by a dip switch but we can
unfortunately not detect this setting at run time.

Now when the sh-sci driver can do early serial output,
get rid of the old duplicated code. This patch is V2 and
removes support for "earlyprintk=serial" together with
the following kconfig options:
CONFIG_EARLY_SCIF_CONSOLE
CONFIG_EARLY_SCIF_CONSOLE_PORT
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK
With this patch applied "earlyprintk=" support is always
built-in the SuperH kernel. For this to work the serial
driver must have early platform support and in the case
of sh-sci the serial console needs to be enabled:
CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_CONSOLE=y
So after enabling the SuperH SCI console kconfig option
you also need to point out port using the kernel command
line: "earlyprintk=sh-sci.N[,baudrate][,keep]"
Remember that clocks may be disabled by the boot loader
so you may have to do some board specific static clock
setup before earlyprintk will work on your platform.

Currently, ARB_DISABLE is a NOP on all of the recent Intel platforms.
For such platforms, reduce contention on c3_lock by skipping the fake
ARB_DISABLE.
The cpu model id on one laptop is 14. If we disable ARB_DISABLE on this box,
the box can't be booted correctly. But if we still enable ARB_DISABLE on this
box, the box can be booted correctly.
So we still use the ARB_DISABLE for the cpu which mode id is less than 0x0f.

This is a patch related to this discussion.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ia64/msg07605.html
When INIT is sent, ip/psr/pfs register is stored to the I-resources
(iip/ipsr/ifs registers), and they are copied in the min-state save
area(pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs}).
Therefore, in creating pt_regs at ia64_mca_modify_original_stack(),
cr_{iip,ipsr,ifs} should be derived from pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs}. But
current code copies pmsa_{xip,xpsr,xfs} to cr_{iip,ipsr,ifs}
when PSR.ic is 0.
finish_pt_regs(struct pt_regs *regs, const pal_min_state_area_t *ms,
unsigned long *nat)
{
(snip)
if (ia64_psr(regs)->ic) {
regs->cr_iip = ms->pmsa_iip;
regs->cr_ipsr = ms->pmsa_ipsr;
regs->cr_ifs = ms->pmsa_ifs;
} else {
regs->cr_iip = ms->pmsa_xip;
regs->cr_ipsr = ms->pmsa_xpsr;
regs->cr_ifs = ms->pmsa_xfs;
}
It's ok when PSR.ic is not 0. But when PSR.ic is 0, this could be
a problem when we investigate kernel as the value of regs->cr_iip does
not point to where INIT really interrupted.
At first I tried to change finish_pt_regs() so that it uses always
pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs} for cr_{iip,ipsr,ifs}, but Keith Owens pointed out
it could cause another problem if I change it.
>The only problem I can think of is an MCA/INIT

I confirmed he was right, so I decided to keep it as-is and to
save pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs} to ia64_sal_os_state for debugging.
An attached patch is just adding new members into ia64_sal_os_state to
save pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs}.

Previously, we tried to use IA64_DEF_FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR (0x30) as the
IA64_IRQ_MOVE_VECTOR. However, we allocate other IRQs from the device
vector range, so there's no guarantee that IA64_DEF_FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR
will still be available when we register IA64_IRQ_MOVE_VECTOR.
This patch statically allocates 0x30 for IA64_IRQ_MOVE_VECTOR and
removes it from the device vector range.
Without this patch, we crash on machines like the HP rx3600 that use
vector 48 (0x30) as the ACPI SCI interrupt:

This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols
which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as
absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script,
which currently applies to _end.
Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty
section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections
completely.
This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions
instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns.
This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the
relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this is
basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have
thus been well tested.

There's no point having the hardware support background operations
if we issue a cache operation, and then wait for it to complete
before calculating the address of the next operation. We gain no
advantage in the cache controller stalling the bus until completion.
What we should be doing is using the 'wait' time productively by
calculating the address of the next operation, and only then waiting
for the previous operation to complete. This means that cache
operations can occur in parallel with the CPU calculating the next
address.
