Combine both generic and arch-specific parts of microcode into a
single module (arch-specific parts are config-dependent).
Also while we are at it, move arch-specific parts from microcode.h
into their respective arch-specific .c files.

this is a rework of the microcode splitup in tip/x86/microcode
(1) I think this new interface is cleaner (look at the changes
in 'struct microcode_ops' in microcode.h);
(2) it's -64 lines of code;

microcode_amd.c uses ">> 32" on a 32-bit value, so gcc warns about that.

This is the 1st patch in the series. Here the aim was to avoid any
significant changes, logically-wise.
So it's mainly about generic interface refactoring: e.g. make
microcode_{intel,amd}.c more about arch-specific details and less
about policies like make-sure-we-run-on-a-target-cpu
(no more set_cpus_allowed_ptr() here) and generic synchronization (no
more microcode_mutex here).
All in all, more line have been deleted than added.

Alexey Dobriyan reported trouble with LTP with the new fast-gup code,
and Johannes Weiner debugged it to non-page-aligned addresses, where the
new get_user_pages_fast() code would do all the wrong things, including
just traversing past the end of the requested area due to 'addr' never
matching 'end' exactly.
This is not a pretty fix, and we may actually want to move the alignment
into generic code, leaving just the core code per-arch, but Alexey
verified that the vmsplice01 LTP test doesn't crash with this.

lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie.
actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention.
Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things:
it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch. More
importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly,
so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the
alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with
/dev/zero).

Since the correct timeout value varies, use a heuristic which adjusts
the timeout depending on how many packets we've seen. This gives
slightly worse results, but doesn't need tweaking when GSO is
introduced.

virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications. This prevents
a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet
receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets.
Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout
settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to
fill the entire buffer):
Timeout value Seconds Xmit/Recv/Timeout
None (before) 25.3784 xmit 7750233 recv 1
2500 usec 62.5119 xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020

100 usec 19.2583 xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153
(Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come
later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a

If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC
addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to
want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses.
Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming
based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned
addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what
will happen then!
Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with
e.g.
--tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D
or:
--tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D

Ron Minnich noticed that guest userspace gets a GPF when it tries to int3:
we need to copy the privilege level from the guest-supplied IDT to the real
IDT. int3 is the only common case where guest userspace expects to invoke
an interrupt, so that's the symptom of failing to do this.

With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.
My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the
corruption.

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a
pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO
is issued and this page will be uptodate.
I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is
room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in
this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not
uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate.
So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from
this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can
reduce read IO and improve system throughput.
I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program.
This benchmark do:
1: mount and open a test file.
2: create a 512MB file.
3: close a file and umount.
4: mount and again open a test file.
5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned
by IO size(1024bytes).
6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file.
The result was:
2.6.26
330 sec
2.6.26-patched
226 sec
Arch:i386
Filesystem:ext3
Blocksize:1024 bytes
Memory: 1GB
On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write
mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized
with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result
showed this.
The benchmark program is as follows:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

and add the relevant field to the platform data.
The previous commit 50f426b55d promised to
add a bus_num field, but failed to include the two hunks that added this
field to include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410/spi.h and then pass it to the spi
core when creating the new master field in drivers/spi/spi_s3c24xx.c.

The block transfer routine in the mpc52xx psc spi driver misinterpret
the datasheet. According to the processor datasheet the chipselect is
held as long as the EOF is not written.
Theoretically blocks of any sizes can be transferred in this way. The
old routine however writes an EOF after every word, which has the size
of size_of_word. This makes the transfer slow.
Also fixed some duplicate code.
