b2875d4c39 IB/mthca: Always fill MTTs from CPU
Speed up memory registration by filling in MTTs directly when the CPU
can write directly to the whole table (all mem-free cards, and to
Tavor mode on 64-bit systems with the patch I posted earlier).  This
reduces the number of FW commands needed to register an MR by at least
a factor of 2 and speeds up memory registration significantly.

c20e20ab0f IB/mthca: Merge MR and FMR space on 64-bit systems
For Tavor, we currently reserve separate MPT and MTT space for FMRs to
avoid abusing the vmalloc space on 32 bit kernels. No such problem
exists on 64 bit kernels so let's not do it there.

This way we have a shared pool for MR and FMR resources, used on
demand.  This will also make it possible to write MTTs for regular
regions directly from driver.

391e4dea71 IB/mthca: Fix access to MTT and MPT tables on non-cache-coherent CPUs
We allocate the MTT table with alloc_pages() and then do pci_map_sg(),
so we must call pci_dma_sync_sg() after the CPU writes to the MTT
table.  This works since the device will never write MTTs on mem-free
HCAs, once we get rid of the use of the WRITE_MTT firmware command.
This change is needed to make that work, and is an improvement for
now, since it gives FMRs a chance at working.

For MPTs, both the device and CPU might write there, so we must
allocate DMA coherent memory for these.

1d1f19cfce IB/mthca: Give reserved MTTs a separate cache line
MTTs are allocated in non-cache-coherent memory, so we must give
reserved MTTs their own cache line, to prevent both device and
CPU from writing into the same cache line at the same time.

34cc560e6a [SPARC]: Re-export saved_command_line to modules.
This reverts some bogosity from the dynamic command-line
changes made on sparc32 and sparc64.

Drivers such as drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c reference
saved_command_line, and can be modular.

The boot_command_line is __initdata, yet the dynamic command-line
changes add modular exports of that symbol, obviously wrong.

fa027c2a0a [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 4
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
