1be53e084a microblaze: Fix dma alloc and free coherent dma functions
We have to use consistent code to be able to do coherent dma
function. In consistent code is used cache inhibit page mapping.
Xilinx reported that there is bug in Microblaze for WB and
d-cache_always use option. Microblaze 7.30.a should be first version
where is this bug removed.

3a0d7a4dd5 microblaze: Add consistent code
Remove ancient Kconfig option for consistent code.
MMU uses cache inhibit pages.

noMMU uses UNCACHE SHADOW feature where is used double ram size.
For example:
Physical ram is 256MB and cache are setup to cover the same size.
But if you setup in HW that size is 512MB and cache covers 256MB
than you can use adresses from 256-512MB without caches and
correspond with 0-256MB with cache. That's why I am using
dcache base/high addresses to find out uncache area.

There are two parts of changes. The first is just enable
PCI in Makefiles and in Kconfig. The second is the rest of
missing files. I didn't want to add it with previous patch
because that patch is too big.

1. Basic DMA support
2. Enable DMA debug option
3. Setup notifier

Ad 1. dma-mapping come from powerpc and x86 version and it is based on
generic dma-mapping-common.h

Ad 2. DMA support debug features which is used in generic file.
For more information please look at Documentation/DMA-API.txt

Ad 3. notifier is very important to setup dma_ops. Without this part
for example ll_temac driver failed because there are no setup dma operations.

These are the non-static sysfs attributes that exist on

91a99dfc6b platform-drivers: move probe to .devinit.text in arch/arm
A pointer to a probe callback is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded.  Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

52cf25d0ab Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type
Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

c9be0a36f9 sysdev: Pass attribute in sysdev_class attributes show/store
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.

Similar to sysdev_attributes and normal attributes.

This is a tree-wide sweep, converting everything in one go.

No functional changes in this patch other than passing the new
argument everywhere.

Tested on x86, the non x86 parts are uncompiled.

8d9032bbe4 elf coredump: add extended numbering support
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.

This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.

This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

1fcccbac89 elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions
elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.

This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.
