RT tasks are being awakened on the expired array when expired_starving() is
true, whereas they really should be excluded. Fix.

Fix a starvation problem that occurs when a stream of highly interactive tasks
delay an array switch for extended periods despite EXPIRED_STARVING(rq) being
true. AFAIKT, the only choice is to enqueue awakening tasks on the expired
array in this case.
Without this patch, it can be nearly impossible to remotely login to a busy
server, and interactive shell commands can starve for minutes.
Also, convert the EXPIRED_STARVING macro into an inline function which humans
can understand.

- Kill the local variables that cache ->nrbufs, they just take up space.

Using find_get_page() is a lot faster than find_or_create_page(). This

It's more efficient for sendfile() emulation. Basically we cache an
internal private pipe and just use that as the intermediate area for
pages. Direct splicing is not available from sys_splice(), it is only
meant to be used for sendfile() emulation.
Additional patch from Ingo Molnar to avoid the PIPE_BUFFERS loop at
exit for the normal fast path.

initramfs.cpio.gz being build in usr/ and included in the
kernel was not rebuild when the included files changed.
To fix this the following was done:
- let gen_initramfs.sh generate a list of files and directories included
in the initramfs
- gen_initramfs generate the gzipped cpio archive so we could simplify
the kbuild file (Makefile)
- utilising the kbuild infrastructure so when uid/gid root mapping changes
the initramfs will be rebuild
With this change we have a much more robust initramfs generation.

Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread
code. The simplest is a long standing double decrement of
__get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process. Caused by
two processes exiting when only one was created.
The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list
it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to
see the same task_struct twice. Once on the task list as a
thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another
thread.
The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment
of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in
coredump_wait.
To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach
of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread.
The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process,
and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a
thread group leader properly.
Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process
and instead shares it with the new leader process. I change
thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the
group_leader field and not based on pids. This should also be
slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro.
I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of
thread_group_leader that cared about the difference.

Patch from Catalin Marinas
This patch changes the double registers numbering to 0-15 from even 0-30,
in preparation for future VFP extensions. It also fixes the VFP_REG_ZERO
bug (value 16 actually represents the 8th double register with the original
numbering).
The original mcrr/mrrc on CP10 were generating FMRRS/FMSRR instead of
FMRRD/FMDRR. The patch changes to CP11 for the correct instructions.

Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption.
page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0)
to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the
buddy lists.
Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated
conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to
be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was
not on the buddy lists).

The PCI spec recommends against drivers playing with a device's PCI
read burst size, and says that systems software should configure it.
And we actually have users that report that changing it from the
default set by BIOS hurts performance and/or stability for them. On
the other hand, the Mellanox Programmer's Reference Manual recommends
turning it up all the way to the maximum value. Some tests conducted
here in the lab do not show performance improvement from this tuning,
but this might be just me.
As a work-around, make this tuning an option, off by default (safe
value), with an eye towards removing it completely one day if no one
complains.

Push translation of static rate to HCA format into low-level drivers,
where it belongs. For static rate encoding, use encoding of rate
field from IB standard PathRecord, with addition of value 0, for
backwards compatibility with current usage. The changes are:
- Add enum ib_rate to midlayer includes.
- Get rid of static rate translation in IPoIB; just use static rate
directly from Path and MulticastGroup records.
- Update mthca driver to translate absolute static rate into the
format used by hardware. This also fixes mthca's static rate
handling for HCAs that are capable of 4X DDR.

This fixes the problem of an oops occuring when a user attempts to add a
key to a non-keyring key [CVE-2006-1522].
The problem is that __keyring_search_one() doesn't check that the
keyring it's been given is actually a keyring.
I've fixed this problem by:
(1) declaring that caller of __keyring_search_one() must guarantee that
the keyring is a keyring; and
(2) making key_create_or_update() check that the keyring is a keyring,
and return -ENOTDIR if it isn't.
This can be tested by:
