b61fc69bb6 gru: fix istatus race in GRU tlb dropin
TLB dropins require updates to the CBR instruction istatus field.  This is
needed to resolve race conditions in the chip.

The code currently uses the user address of the CBR.  This works but opens
up additional endcases related to stealing of contexts and accessing the
CBR from tasks that do not have access to the user address space.  (Some
of this non-user task access is debug code that is not currently being
pushed to the community).

User CBRs are also directly accessible using the kernel mapping of the
CBR.  Change the TLB dropin code to use the the kernel mapping of the CBR.

d39b7dd1dc sgi-gru: decrapfiy options_write() function
Not a single line of actual code in the function was really
fundamentally correct.

Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last
character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting
hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that
format.

This tries to do better.

940229b9c0 gru: check context state on reload
Check whether the gru state being loaded into a gru is from a new context
or a previously unloaded context.  If new, simply zero out the hardware
context; if unloaded and valid, reload the old state.

This change is primarily for reloading kernel contexts where the previous
is not required to be saved.

6484eb3e2a page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid
Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean
"allocate from the current node".  However, a number of the callers in
fast paths know for a fact their node is valid.  To avoid a comparison and
branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid
with VM_BUG_ON().  Callers that know their node is valid are then
converted.

8275d102f8 ia64: fix panic during `modprobe -r xpc'
If you are on ia64 and you modprobe xpc then modprobe -r xpc, you
immediately get a panic.  xpc depends on xp which depends on gru for a
symbol.  That symbol is only used when we are running on UV hardware.

Currently, the GRU driver detects we are not on UV hardware and does no
initializing.  It does not do the same check when unloading.  As a result,
the gru driver attempts to tear down stuff that was not setup.

This is a simple two-line workaround to get us through this release.  Once
2.6.28 is opened, we need to rework the symbols that xp is depending on
from gru so the gru driver can properly fail to load when hardware is not
available.

34d8a380d7 GRU Driver: hardware data structures
This series of patches adds a driver for the SGI UV GRU.  The driver is
still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64.
All simple regression tests pass on IA64.  Although features remain to be
added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the
kernel.  Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the
GRU driver.

The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset.  The GRU
contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space.  This memory
is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as
load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc.  The GRU is directly
accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses.  GRU
instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands.

The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to
processor TLBs.  Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual
address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types
of changes are made to the process page tables.  There are several MMUOPS
patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the
kernel.  The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli.

This patch:

Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used
by the driver to manage the GRU.
