ae77cbc1e7 RAID: add tilegx SIMD implementation of raid6
This change adds TILE-Gx SIMD instructions to the software raid
(md), modeling the Altivec implementation. This is only for Syndrome
generation; there is more that could be done to improve recovery,
as in the recent Intel SSE3 recovery implementation.

The code unrolls 8 times; this turns out to be the best on tilegx
hardware among the set 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.  The code reads one
cache-line of data from each disk, stores P and Q then goes to the
next cache-line.

The test code in sys/linux/lib/raid6/test reports 2008 MB/s data
read rate for syndrome generation using 18 disks (16 data and 2
parity). It was 1512 MB/s before this SIMD optimizations. This is
running on 1 core with all the data in cache.

This is based on the paper The Mathematics of RAID-6.
(http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/raid6.pdf).

7d11965ddb lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation
Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses
NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations.
It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several
unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected
at boot time.

7056741fd9 lib/raid6: Add AVX2 optimized recovery functions
Optimize RAID6 recovery functions to take advantage of
the 256-bit YMM integer instructions introduced in AVX2.

The patch was tested and benchmarked before submission.
However hardware is not yet released so benchmark numbers
cannot be reported.

38059ec2bd md: Fix userspace free_pages() macro
While using etags to find free_pages(), I stumbled across this debug
definition of free_pages() that is to be used while debugging some raid
code in userspace. The __get_free_pages() allocates the correct size,
but the free_pages() does not match. free_pages(), like
__get_free_pages(), takes an order and not a size.

f701d589aa md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.ko
Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
   compile
