module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures
Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c,
so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file.
That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183
so the duplication hurts.This reduces the scope of the problem significantly,
by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and
referencing that from all architectures.* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost:

Convert from pci_create_bus() to pci_create_root_bus(). This way the root
bus resources are correct immediately. This fixes the problem of "early"
and "header" quirks seeing incorrect root bus resources.We can't use pci_scan_root_bus() because, like x86, ACPI hotplug currently
requires pci_bus_add_devices() in a separate host bridge .start() method.v2: fix compile error by using window resource pointer instead

This patch converts IA64's architecture-specific 'pcibios_set_master()'
routine to a non-inlined function. This will allow follow on
patches to create a generic 'pcibios_set_master()' function using the
'__weak' attribute which can be used by all architectures as a default
which, if necessary, can then be over-ridden by architecture-
specific code.Converting 'pci_bios_set_master()' to a non-inlined function will allow
IA64's 'pcibios_set_master()' implementation to remain architecture-
specific after the generic version is introduced and thus, not change
current behavior.No functional change.

Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4 ("procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time

and cputime use different units.This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making
the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong.Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.Cc: Haavard Skinnemoen

While working on the upcoming SLES11 SP2, I ran into an issue with booting the
panic kernel on a kernel crash. In the first iteration I found out that the
initial register backing store gets overwritten with zeroes, causing a kernel
crash shortly afterwards.Further investigation revealed that rsvd_region[] contains overlapping
entries: find_memmap_space() returns a pointer which lies between KERNEL_START
and _end. This is correct with the EFI memmap as patched by the kexec
purgatory code. That code removes vmlinux LOAD segments from the usable map,
but there is a pretty large hole between the gate section and the per-cpu
section.This happens because reserve_memory() blindly marks [KERNEL_START, __end]
as reserved, even though there is a free block in the middle in the kexec
case because it noticed a large gap between sections and modified the
efi_memory_map to account for this.Signed-off-by: Petr Tesarik
