If xpc.ko and gru.ko are both statically linked into the kernel, then
xpc_init() can get called before gru_init() and make a call to one of the
gru's exported functions before the gru has initialized itself. The end
result is a NULL dereference.

A few minor updates for the GRU driver.
- documentation changes found in code reviews
- changes to #ifdefs to make them recognized by "unifdef"
(used in simulator testing)
- change GRU context load/unload to prefetch data

The kernel.h macro DIV_ROUND_UP performs the computation (((n) + (d) - 1) /
(d)) but is perhaps more readable.
An extract of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

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.

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.
