The global bit was not set in the first 2MB page, instead
it had a bit in the free AVL section which is useless.

Instead of using a global spinlock to protect the state
of the remote TLB flush use a lock and state for each sending CPU.
To tell the receiver where to look for the state use 8 different
call vectors. Each CPU uses a specific vector to trigger flushes on other
CPUs. Depending on the received vector the target CPUs look into
the right per cpu variable for the flush data.
When the system has more than 8 CPUs they are hashed to the 8 available
vectors. The limited global vector space forces us to this right now.
In future when interrupts are split into per CPU domains this could be
fixed, at the cost of needing more IPIs in flat mode.
Also some minor cleanup in the smp flush code and remove some outdated
debug code.
Requires patch to move cpu_possible_map setup earlier.

If we use 64bit kernel on ia64/x86_64/s390 architecture, and we run
32bit binary on 32bit compatibility mode, sendfile system call seems be
not set offset argument.
This is because sendfile's return value is not zero but the code regards
the result by return value is zero or not.
This problem will be affect to ia64/x86_64/s390 and not affect to other
architecture does not affect other architecture (mips/parisc/ppc64/sparc64).

When setting up the APIC for the Uniprocessor kernel don't
assume the CPU has an APIC ID of zero.

In particular on systems where the local APIC space and node space
is very different from the Linux CPU number space.
Previously the older NUMA setup code directly parsing the K8
northbridge registers had some issues on 8 socket or dual core
systems. This patch fixes them.
This is mainly done by fixing some confusion between Linux
CPU numbers and local APIC ids. We now pass the local APIC IDs
to later code, which avoids mismatches.
Also add some heuristics to detect cases where the Hypertransport
nodeids and the local APIC IDs don't match, but are shifted
by a constant offset.
This is still all quite hackish, hopefully BIOS writers fill
in correct SRATs instead.

Do that later when the CPU boots. SRAT just stores the APIC<->Node

This adds code which gives us the option on ppc64 of instantiating the
PCI tree (the tree of pci_bus and pci_dev structs) from the Open
Firmware device tree rather than by probing PCI configuration space.
The OF device tree has a node for each PCI device and bridge in the
system, with properties that tell us what addresses the firmware has
configured for them and other details.
There are a couple of reasons why this is needed. First, on systems
with a hypervisor, there is a PCI-PCI bridge per slot under the PCI
host bridges. These PCI-PCI bridges have special isolation features
for virtualization. We can't write to their config space, and we are
not supposed to be reading their config space either. The firmware
tells us about the address ranges that they pass in the OF device
tree.
Secondly, on powermacs, the interrupt controller is in a PCI device
that may be behind a PCI-PCI bridge. If we happened to take an
interrupt just at the point when the device or a bridge on the path to
it was disabled for probing, we would crash when we try to access the
interrupt controller.
I have implemented a platform-specific function which is called for
each PCI bridge (host or PCI-PCI) to say whether the code should look
in the device tree or use normal PCI probing for the devices under
that bridge. On pSeries machines we use the device tree if we're
running under a hypervisor, otherwise we use normal probing. On
powermacs we use normal probing for the AGP bridge, since the device
for the AGP bridge itself isn't shown in the device tree (at least on
my G5), and the device tree for everything else.
This has been tested on a dual G5 powermac, a partition on a POWER5
machine (running under the hypervisor), and a legacy iSeries
partition.
