If we'd passed through 32 trailing symlinks already, there's
no sense following the 33rd - we'll bail out anyway.  Better
bugger off earlier.

It *does* change behaviour, after a fashion - if the 33rd happens
to be a procfs-style symlink, original code *would* allow it.

If the calling convention of ->timer_fn() and ->cleanup_fn() are unified
across hardware versions we can drop parameters to ioat_init_channel() and
unify ioat_is_dma_complete() implementations.

Both ->timer_fn() and ->cleanup_fn() are modified to expect a struct
dma_chan pointer.

The hardware automatically disables further interrupts after each event
until rearmed.  This allows a delay to be injected between the occurence
of the interrupt and the running of the cleanup routine.  The delay is
scaled by the descriptor backlog and then written to the INTRDELAY
register which specifies the number of microseconds to hold off
interrupt delivery after an interrupt event occurs.  According to
powertop this reduces the interrupt rate from ~5000 intr/s to ~150
intr/s per without affecting throughput (simple dd to a raid6 array).

Since ioat_cleanup_preamble() and the update of the last completed
descriptor are not synchronized there is a chance that two cleanup threads
can see descriptors to clean.  If the first cleans up all pending
descriptors then the second will trigger the BUG_ON.

This makes sure that we pick the synchronous signals caused by a
processor fault over any pending regular asynchronous signals sent to
use by [t]kill().

This is not strictly required semantics, but it makes it _much_ easier
for programs like Wine that expect to find the fault information in the
signal stack.

Without this, if a non-synchronous signal gets picked first, the delayed
asynchronous signal will have its signal context pointing to the new
signal invocation, rather than the instruction that caused the SIGSEGV
or SIGBUS in the first place.

This is not all that pretty, and we're discussing making the synchronous
signals more explicit rather than have these kinds of implicit
preferences of SIGSEGV and friends.  See for example

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395

for some of the discussion.  But in the meantime this is a simple and
fairly straightforward work-around, and the whole

	if (x & Y)
		x &= Y;

thing can be compiled into (and gcc does do it) just three instructions:

	movq    %rdx, %rax
	andl    $Y, %eax
	cmovne  %rax, %rdx

so it is at least a simple solution to a subtle issue.

To avoid potential problems with an empty /dev open /dev/console
from rootfs instead of waiting to mount our root filesystem and
mounting it there.   This effectively guarantees that there will
be a device node, and it won't be on a filesystem that we will
ever unmount, so there are no issues with leaving /dev/console
open and pinning the filesystem.

This is actually more effective than automatically mounting
devtmpfs on /dev because it removes removes the occasionally
problematic assumption that /dev/console exists from the boot
code.

With this patch I was able to throw busybox on my /boot partition
(which has no /dev directory) and boot into userspace without
problems.

The only possible negative consequence I can think of is that
someone out there deliberately used did not use a character device
that is major 5 minor 2 for /dev/console.  Does anyone know of a
situation in which that could make sense?
