SFI provides a series of tables. These describe the platform devices present
including SPI and I²C devices, as well as various sensors, keypads and other
glue as well as interfaces provided via the SCU IPC mechanism (intel_scu_ipc.c)
This patch is a merge of the core elements and relevant fixes from the
Intel development code by Feng, Alek, myself into a single coherent patch
for upstream submission.
It provides the needed infrastructure to register I2C, SPI and platform devices
described by the tables, as well as handlers for some of the hardware already
supported in kernel. The 0.8 firmware also provides GPIO tables.
Devices are created at boot time or if they are SCU dependant at the point an
SCU is discovered. The existing Linux device mechanisms will then handle the
device binding. At an abstract level this is an SFI to Linux device translator.
Device/platform specific setup/glue is in this file. This is done so that the
drivers for the generic I²C and SPI bus devices remain cross platform as they
should.
(Updated from RFC version to correct the emc1403 name used by the firmware
and a wrongly used #define)

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been

With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
feature from the hypervisor.
Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
still work fine on VMware's platform.
Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.
For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this,

When testing cpu hotplug code on 32-bit we kept hitting the "CPU%d:
Stuck ??" message due to multiple cores concurrently accessing the
cpu_callin_mask, among others.
Since these codepaths are not protected from concurrent access due to
the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex
code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely
switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the
sysfs level and be done with it.

* 'x86-olpc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
x86, olpc: Constify an olpc_ofw() arg
x86, olpc: Use pr_debug() for EC commands
x86, olpc: Add comment about implicit optimization barrier
x86, olpc: Add support for calling into OpenFirmware
* 'timers-timekeeping-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
um: Fix read_persistent_clock fallout
kgdb: Do not access xtime directly
powerpc: Clean up obsolete code relating to decrementer and timebase
powerpc: Rework VDSO gettimeofday to prevent time going backwards
clocksource: Add __clocksource_updatefreq_hz/khz methods
x86: Convert common clocksources to use clocksource_register_hz/khz
timekeeping: Make xtime and wall_to_monotonic static
hrtimer: Cleanup direct access to wall_to_monotonic
um: Convert to use read_persistent_clock
timkeeping: Fix update_vsyscall to provide wall_to_monotonic offset
powerpc: Cleanup xtime usage
powerpc: Simplify update_vsyscall
time: Kill off CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME
time: Implement timespec_add
x86: Fix vtime/file timestamp inconsistencies
Trivial conflicts in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
Much less trivial conflicts in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c resolved as
per Thomas' earlier merge commit 47916be4e2 ("Merge branch
'powerpc.cherry-picks' into timers/clocksource")
Now that all arches have been converted over to use generic time via
clocksources or arch_gettimeoffset(), we can remove the GENERIC_TIME
config option and simplify the generic code.

Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW
commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range
0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the
pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page
table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's
page table.
This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular
calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer
x86 hardware.

x86 arch specific changes to use generic numa_node_id() based on generic
percpu variable infrastructure. Back out x86's custom version of
numa_node_id()

There are only two ways to define sg_dma_len(); use sg->dma_length or
sg->length. This patch introduces NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH that enables
architectures to choose sg->dma_length or sg->length.

Read the memory ranges behind the Broadcom CNB20LE host bridge out of the
hardware. This allows PCI hotplugging to work, since we know which memory
range to allocate PCI BAR's from.
The x86 PCI code automatically prefers the ACPI _CRS information when it is
available. In that case, this information is not used.
