618d3adc35 [POWERPC] DMA 4GB boundary protection
There are many adapters which can not handle DMAing acrosss any 4 GB
boundary.  For instance the latest Emulex adapters.

This normally is not an issue as firmware gives us dma-windows under
4gigs.  However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above
4gigs, and this present a problem.

I propose fixing it in the IOMMU allocation instead of making each
driver protect against it as it is more efficient, and won't require
changing every driver which has not considered this issue.

This patch checks to see if the mapping spans a 4 gig boundary, and if
it does, retries the allocation.  It tries the next allocation at the
start of the crossed 4 gig boundary.

30437b3e74 [POWERPC] Automatically lmb_reserve() initrd
At present, when an initrd is passed to the kernel used flat device
tree properties, the memory the initrd occupies must also be reserved
in the flat tree's reserve map, or the kernel may overwrite it.  That
makes life more complicated than it could be for the bootwrapper.

This patch makes the kernel automatically reserve the initrd's space.
That in turn requires parsing the initrd parameters earlier than they
are currently, in early_init_dt_scan_chosen() instead of
check_for_initrd().

eb6de28637 [POWERPC] Allow duplicate lmb_reserve() calls
At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice
for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour.

This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with
memory reserve map.  Which regions are automatically reserved by the
kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel
could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed
in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble.

This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to
reserve a previously reserved region.  It also removes a now redundant
test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above.

At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an
identical region.  Attempting to reserve two different, but
overlapping regions will still cause problems.  I might post another
patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it
is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur
and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

bb72c481e9 [POWERPC] Harden validate_sp against stack corruption
If something has overflowed or corrupted the stack and causes an oops,
and we try to print a stack trace, that will call validate_sp, which
can itself cause an oops if the cpu field of the thread_info struct at
the bottom of the stack has been corrupted (if CONFIG_IRQSTACKS is
set).  This makes debugging harder.

To avoid the second oops, this adds a check to make sure that the cpu
number is reasonable before using it to check whether the stack is on
the softirq or hardirq stack.

38f3323037 Revert "[PATCH] LOG2: Alter get_order() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant"
This reverts commit 39d61db0ed.

The commit was buggy in multiple ways:
 - the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with
 - it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd
   never see the bug except for constant arguments.
 - the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and
   didn't even parenthesize them properly
 - despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for
   constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the
   generic page.h header file.

All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to:
better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.

059819a41d [PATCH] Fix buffer overflow in Omnikey CardMan 4040 driver (CVE-2007-0005)
Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com>

When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the
driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and
execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device.
A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow
of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.

266d4f4037 [PATCH] suspend regression: sysfs deadlock
Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0.

This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d1b
"Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and
read()/write()".

sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and
flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in
orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.
