Impact: save .text size when kexec is built in but not loaded
This patch adds an architecture specific struct kimage_arch into
struct kimage. The pointers to page table pages used by kexec are
added to struct kimage_arch. The page tables pages are dynamically
allocated in machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS
segment. This will save up to 20k memory when kexec image is not
loaded.Signed-off-by: Huang Ying

Junjiro R. Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit. In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappersAlso fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm

By default, non-privileged tasks can only mlock() a small amount of
memory to avoid a DoS attack by ordinary users. The Linux kernel
defaulted to 32k (on a 4k page size system) to accommodate the needs of
gpg.However, newer gpg2 needs 64k in various circumstances and otherwise
fails miserably, see bnc#329675.Change the default to 64k, and make it more agnostic to PAGE_SIZE.

Every call of kvm_set_irq() should offer an irq_source_id, which is
allocated by kvm_request_irq_source_id(). Based on irq_source_id, we
identify the irq source and implement logical OR for shared level
interrupts.The allocated irq_source_id can be freed by kvm_free_irq_source_id().
Currently, we support at most sizeof(unsigned long) different irq sources.
[Amit: - rebase to kvm.git HEAD
- move definition of KVM_USERSPACE_IRQ_SOURCE_ID to common file
- move kvm_request_irq_source_id to the update_irq ioctl][Xiantao: - Add kvm/ia64 stuff and make it work for kvm/ia64 guests]

Usbhid structure is allocated on start invoked only from probe
of some driver. When there is no driver, the structure is null
and causes null-dereference oopses.Fix it by allocating the structure on probe and disconnect of
the device itself. Also make sure we won't race between start
and resume or stop and suspend respectively.References: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11827
