This adds the hugepagesz boot-time parameter for ppc64. It lets one
pick the size for huge pages. The choices available are 64K and 16M
when the base page size is 4k. It defaults to 16M (previously the
only only choice) if nothing or an invalid choice is specified.
Tested 64K huge pages successfully with the libhugetlbfs 1.2.

This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on
the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset.
This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4
(LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3,
but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.
Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

Actual intel IOMMU driver. Hardware spec can be found at:

This driver sets X86_64 'dma_ops', so hook into standard DMA APIs. In this
way, PCI driver will get virtual DMA address. This change is transparent to
PCI drivers.

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.
This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.
For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.

Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security
module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the
overall security architecture.
Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API
abuse.
Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified
at boot.
The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed.
In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface
is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree
modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and
dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.
Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.
It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

Use _CRS for PCI resource allocation
This patch resolves an issue where incorrect PCI memory and i/o ranges
are being assigned to hotplugged PCI devices on some IBM systems. The
resource mis-allocation not only makes the PCI device unuseable but
often makes the entire system unuseable due to resulting machine checks.
The hotplug capable PCI slots on the affected systems are not located
under a standard P2P bridge but are instead located under PCI root
bridges or subtractive decode P2P bridges. For example, the IBM x3850
contains 2 hotplug capable PCI-X slots and 4 hotplug capable PCIe slots
with the PCI-X slots each located under a PCI root bridge and the PCIe
slots each located under a subtractive decode P2P bridge.
The current i386/x86_64 PCI resource allocation code does not use _CRS
returned resource information. No other resource information source is
available for slots that are not below a standard P2P bridge so
incorrect ranges are being allocated from e820 hole causing the bad
result.
This patch causes the kernel to use _CRS returned resource info. It is
roughly based on a change provided by Matthew Wilcox for the ia64 kernel
in 2005. Due to possible buggy BIOS factor and possible yet to be
discovered kernel issues the function is disabled by default and can be
enabled with pci=use_crs.
