Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued.
It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and
hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not.
The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else
first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be
pending packets which do not get sent.
New semantics:
tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being
transferred right now
set the flag right at the place where data are copied
into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it
was succesful
tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments

Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.
Included:
virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio
If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

When a cpu really is stuck in the kernel, it can be often
impossible to figure out which cpu is stuck where. The
worst case is when the stuck cpu has interrupts disabled.
Therefore, implement a global cpu state capture that uses
SMP message interrupts which are not disabled by the
normal IRQ enable/disable APIs of the kernel.
As long as we can get a sysrq 'y' to the kernel, we can
get a dump. Even if the console interrupt cpu is wedged,
we can trigger it from userspace using /proc/sysrq-trigger
The output is made compact so that this facility is more
useful on high cpu count systems, which is where this
facility will likely find itself the most useful :)

1 lock held by dmesg/3121:

For e.g. proper TTY canonical support, IUTF8 termios flag has to be set as
appropriate. Linux used to not care about setting that flag for VT TTYs.
This patch fixes that by activating it according to the current mode of the
VT, and sets the default value according to the vt.default_utf8 parameter.

x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.
The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.
There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.
