Impact: cleanup, code robustization
The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for
_PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in
our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes
were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly
used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen
Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict
between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary
adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency
between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros.
This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in
__swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the
seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a
collision with _PAGE_FILE.
Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and
pgoff_to_pte() calculations.

This patch removes an inconsistency that became apparent when I
documented the fields of snd_ca0106_details. spi_dac is always
used in a 'boolean' sense, so this cleanup should make no difference.
[Actually, there is one place checking explicitly spi_dac == 1, so
this will change the behavior. But, supposing it's rather a typo,
I apply this clean-up patch -- tiwai]

Impact: micro-optimize the code on 64-bit architectures
In the thread regarding to 'export percpu cpuacct cgroup stats'
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/7/13
akpm pointed out that current cpuacct code is inefficient. This patch
refactoring the following:
* make cpu_rq locking only on 32-bit
* change iterator to each_present_cpu instead of each_possible_cpu to
make it hotplug friendly.
It's a bit of code churn, but I was rewarded with 160 byte code size saving
on x86-64 arch and zero code size change on i386.

This patch fixes an inconsistency in nfnetlink_conntrack.h that
I introduced myself. The problem is that CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC is
missing from enum ctattr_natseq. This inconsistency may lead to
problems in the message parsing in userspace (if the message
contains the CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes, of course).
This patch breaks backward compatibility, however, the only known
client of this code is libnetfilter_conntrack which indeed crashes
because it assumes the existence of CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC to do
the parsing.
The CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes were introduced in 2.6.25.

This patch adds GRO support for IPv4.
The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular,
we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for
the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an
arithmetic sequence with a difference of one.
The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware
TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this
whether GSO is in use or not.
In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather
making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate
skb's tail).

This patch adds the top-level GRO (Generic Receive Offload) infrastructure.
This is pretty similar to LRO except that this is protocol-independent.
Instead of holding packets in an lro_mgr structure, they're now held in
napi_struct.
For drivers that intend to use this, they can set the NETIF_F_GRO bit and
call napi_gro_receive instead of netif_receive_skb or just call netif_rx.
The latter will call napi_receive_skb automatically. When napi_gro_receive
is used, the driver must either call napi_complete/napi_rx_complete, or
call napi_gro_flush in softirq context if the driver uses the primitives
__napi_complete/__napi_rx_complete.
Protocols will set the gro_receive and gro_complete function pointers in
order to participate in this scheme.
In addition to the packet, gro_receive will get a list of currently held
packets. Each packet in the list has a same_flow field which is non-zero
if it is a potential match for the new packet. For each packet that may
match, they also have a flush field which is non-zero if the held packet
must not be merged with the new packet.
Once gro_receive has determined that the new skb matches a held packet,
the held packet may be processed immediately if the new skb cannot be
merged with it. In this case gro_receive should return the pointer to
the existing skb in gro_list. Otherwise the new skb should be merged into
the existing packet and NULL should be returned, unless the new skb makes
it impossible for any further merges to be made (e.g., FIN packet) where
the merged skb should be returned.
Whenever the skb is merged into an existing entry, the gro_receive
function should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->same_flow. Note that if an skb
merely matches an existing entry but can't be merged with it, then
this shouldn't be set.
If gro_receive finds it pointless to hold the new skb for future merging,
it should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush.
Held packets will be flushed by napi_gro_flush which is called by
napi_complete and napi_rx_complete.
Currently held packets are stored in a singly liked list just like LRO.
The list is limited to a maximum of 8 entries. In future, this may be
expanded to use a hash table to allow more flows to be held for merging.

This patch allows GSO to handle frag_list in a limited way for the
purposes of allowing packets merged by GRO to be refragmented on
output.
Most hardware won't (and aren't expected to) support handling GRO
frag_list packets directly. Therefore we will perform GSO in
software for those cases.
However, for drivers that can support it (such as virtual NICs) we
may not have to segment the packets at all.
Whether the added overhead of GRO/GSO is worthwhile for bridges
and routers when weighed against the benefit of potentially
increasing the MTU within the host is still an open question.
However, for the case of host nodes this is undoubtedly a win.

This patch adds limited support for handling frag_list packets in
skb_segment. The intention is to support GRO (Generic Receive Offload)
packets which will be constructed by chaining normal packets using
frag_list.
As such we require all frag_list members terminate on exact MSS
boundaries. This is checked using BUG_ON.
As there should only be one producer in the kernel of such packets,
namely GRO, this requirement should not be difficult to maintain.

The function flush_HPTE() is used in only one place, the implementation
of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC on ppc32.
It's actually a dup of flush_tlb_page() though it's -slightly- more
efficient on hash based processors. We remove it and replace it by
a direct call to the hash flush code on those processors and to
flush_tlb_page() for everybody else.

This renames the files to clarify the fact that they are used by
the hash based family of CPUs (the 603 being an exception in that
family but is still handled by that code).
This paves the way for the new tlb_nohash.c coming via a subsequent
commit.

This adds a local_flush_tlb_mm() call as a pre-requisite for some
SMP work for BookE processors.
