Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

quirk_system_pci_resources() disables a PnP mem resource that overlaps a
PCI BAR so as to not keep the PCI driver from claiming the resource. Have
it do the same for io resources.
Here, ACPI claims ports that overlap with my soundcard causing the
soundcard driver to fail to load. It's unknown why my ACPI BIOS claims
those ports; it did not use to but this is not a (kernel) regression.
Some odd BIOS reconfig triggered by temporarily removing the card seems to
have brought this on.

dma_alloc_coherent() on x86 currently takes a passed in NULL device
pointer to mean that it should allocate an ISA compatible (24-bit) buffer
which is a bit of a hack.
The ALSA ISA drivers are the main consumers of this but have a struct
device in fact readily available.
For the legacy drivers, this sets the device dma_mask in preparation for
using the actual device with the DMA API so as to eventually not need the
NULL hack in dma_alloc_coherent().
This does not fix a current bug -- 2.6.26-rc1 stumbled over the NULL hack
in dma_alloc_coherent() but this has already been fixed in commit

The channel DIMM label does not seem to be used much in the edac code.
However, where it is used (in the core code), it is assumed to not have a
newline embedded. This leaves the sysfs file newline free which looks
funny when cat'ing it. Here we just add the trailing newline to the sysfs
chX_dimm_label output...
[Doug Thompson note: the DIMM label is one of the primary uses of EDAC.
User space daemon scripts, edac-utils@sourceforge, populate the DIMM label
fields, via /sys/devices/system/edac attributes, with the silk screen
labels of the motherboard in use. dmidecode access BIOS tables, but BIOS
tables are well known to be incorrect and useless in these respects.
edac-utils will strip off any newlines before its use of the output, when
displaying DIMM slot silk screen labels.

Preliminary support for the Intel 5100 MCH. CE and UE errors are reported
along with the current DIMM label information and other memory parameters.
Reasons why this is preliminary:
1) This chip has 2 independent memory controllers which, for best
perforance, use interleaved accesses to the DDR2 memory. This
architecture does not map very well to the current edac data structures
which depend on symmetric channel access to the interleaved data.
Without core changes, the best I could do for now is to map both memory
controllers to different csrows (first all ranks of controller 0, then
all ranks of controller 1). Someone much more familiar with the edac
core than I will probably need to come up with a more general data
structure to handle the interleaving and de-interleaving of the two
memory controllers.
2) I have not yet tackled the de-interleaving of the rank/controller
address space into the physical address space of the CPU. There is
nothing fundamentally missing, it is just ending up to be a lot of
code, and I'd rather keep it separate for now, esp since it doesn't
work yet...
3) The code depends on a particular i5100 chip select to DIMM mainboard
chip select mapping. This mapping seems obvious to me in order to
support dual and single ranked memory, but it is not unique and DIMM
labels could be wrong on other mainboards. There is no way to query
this mapping that I know of.
4) The code requires that the i5100 is in 32GB mode. Only 4 ranks per
controller, 2 ranks per DIMM are supported. I do not have hardware
(nor do I expect to have hardware anytime soon) for the 48GB (6 ranks
per controller) mode.
5) The serial presence detect code should be broken out into a "real"
i2c driver so that decode-dimms.pl can work.

Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to
NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely
used and tested.
It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS
export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of
doing it, than through the kernel.
While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort
at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the
protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we
are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way.
If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away,
which would have several advantages:
- not having to maintain two versions
- less confusion for users
- no bugs due to kernel API changes
Comment from hch:
- Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.
