Convert handle_tpi() to new guest access functions.
The code now sets up a structure which is copied with a single call to
guest space instead of issuing several separate guest access calls.
This is necessary since the to be copied data may cross a page boundary.
If a protection exception happens while accessing any of the pages, the

The new guest memory access function write_guest() and read_guest() can be
used to access guest memory in an architecture compliant way.
These functions will look at the vcpu's PSW and select the correct address
space for memory access and also perform correct address wrap around.
In case DAT is turned on, page tables will be walked otherwise access will
happen to real or absolute memory.
Any access exception will be recognized and exception data will be stored
in the vcpu's kvm_vcpu_arch.pgm member. Subsequently an exception can be
injected if necessary.
Missing are:
- key protection checks
- access register mode support
- program event recording support
This patch also adds write_guest_real(), read_guest_real(),
write_guest_absolute() and read_guest_absolute() guest functions which can
be used to access real and absolute storage. These functions currently do
not perform any access checks, since there is no use case (yet?).

April 2014 Itanium processor specification update:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/itanium/itanium-specification-update.html
describes this erratum:
=========================================================================
237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly
Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.
Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
the erratum.
Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
that contribute to encountering the erratum.
Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
=========================================================================
[Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]
The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
(when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.
Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e70
[IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
(and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.
We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
update. Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
trap and having the OS perform the access).

over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the

These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and
pass the packets on down to the next layer.
Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created
the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.
However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.
To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,
whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an
explicit 'sk' argument.

smp_read_barrier_depends() can be used if there is data dependency between
the readers - i.e. if the read operation after the barrier uses address

In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the
use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the
following way:
* the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the
body of the for loop
* the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count
* the cpu fetches map->nr_extents
* the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the

The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first
