Add new line of /proc/meminfo output.
Explain the HugePage_ lines in /proc/meminfo (from Bill Irwin).
Change KB to kB since the latter is what is used in the kernel.

Author: Mark M. Hoffman
Date: Thu Mar 23 16:50:25 2006 +0100[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:
- The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious
to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

Fix the memory barrier documentation to attempt to describe atomic ops
correctly.atomic_t ops that return a value _do_ imply smp_mb() either side, and so
don't actually require smp_mb__*_atomic_*() special barriers.Also explains why special barriers exist in addition to normal barriers.
Further fix the memory barrier documents to portray bitwise operation
memory barrier effects correctly following Nick Piggin's comments.It makes the point that any atomic op that both modifies some state in
memory and returns information on that state implies memory barriers on
both sides.Signed-off-by: David Howells

anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is

From: Keith Mannthey, Andi Kleen
Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT
hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later.There are a few restrictions:
- Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per nodeThe main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables
that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything
suspicious.Originally from Keith Mannthey, with several hacks and changes by AK
and also contributions from Andrew Morton[ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki :
1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.
Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory <
4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32,
ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system
doesn't have memory >4G at boot.[AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us]
2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented.
They should be.For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory
from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have
possible 1T +memory. (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory
in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will
not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;)[AK: needs limiting to 5-10% of max memory]
