f110ca489c PCI Hotplug: schedule fakephp for feature removal
Now that the PCI core is capable of function-level remove and rescan
as well as bus-level rescan, there's no functional need to keep fakephp
anymore.

We keep it around for userspace compatibility reasons, schedule removal
in three years.

32a9a682be PCI: allow assignment of memory resources with a specified alignment
This patch allows memory resources to be assigned with a specified
alignment at boot-time or run-time. The patch is useful when we use PCI
pass-through, because page-aligned memory resources are required to
securely share PCI resources with guest drivers.

If you want to assign the resource at boot time, please set
"pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter.

This is format of "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter:

        [<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...]
                Specifies alignment and device to reassign
                aligned memory resources.
                If <order of align> is not specified, PAGE_SIZE is
                used as alignment.
                PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource
                windows need to be expanded.

This is example:

        pci=resource_alignment=20@07:00.0;18@0f:00.0;00:1d.7

If you want to assign the resource at run-time, please set
"/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file, and hot-remove the device and
hot-add the device.  For this purpose, fakephp or PCI hotplug interfaces
can be used.

The format of "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file is the same with
boot parameter. You can use "," instead of ";".

For example:

        # cd /sys/bus/pci
        # echo -n 20@12:00.0 > resource_alignment
        # echo 1 > devices/0000:12:00.0/remove
        # echo 1 > rescan

9bdd8d40c8 ipv6: Fix incorrect disable_ipv6 behavior
Fix the behavior of allowing both sysctl and addrconf_dad_failure()
to set the disable_ipv6 parameter without any bad side-effects.
If DAD fails and accept_dad > 1, we will still set disable_ipv6=1,
but then instead of allowing an RA to add an address then
immediately fail DAD, we simply don't allow the address to be
added in the first place.  This also lets the user set this flag
and disable all IPv6 addresses on the interface, or on the entire
system.

76398425bb Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync()
Removing the BKL from FASYNC handling ran into the challenge of keeping the
setting of the FASYNC bit in filp->f_flags atomic with regard to calls to
the underlying fasync() function.  Andi Kleen suggested moving the handling
of that bit into fasync(); this patch does exactly that.  As a result, we
have a couple of internal API changes: fasync() must now manage the FASYNC
bit, and it will be called without the BKL held.

As it happens, every fasync() implementation in the kernel with one
exception calls fasync_helper().  So, if we make fasync_helper() set the
FASYNC bit, we can avoid making any changes to the other fasync()
functions - as long as those functions, themselves, have proper locking.
Most fasync() implementations do nothing but call fasync_helper() - which
has its own lock - so they are easily verified as correct.  The BKL had
already been pushed down into the rest.

The networking code has its own version of fasync_helper(), so that code
has been augmented with explicit FASYNC bit handling.

5f0fbf9eca [ARM] fixmap support
This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by
architectures supporting highmem.

We have a second level page table already allocated and covering
0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located
at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above
0xffff0000.  Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free
to be used.

However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses
between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff.

So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff.

The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly,
including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping
region which didn't match the code.
