Use sparsemem as the only memory model for UP, SMP and NUMA. Measurements indicate that DISCONTIGMEM has a higher overhead than sparsemem. And FLATMEMs benefits are minimal. So I think its best to simply standardize on sparsemem. Results of page allocator tests (test can be had via git from slab git tree branch tests) Measurements in cycle counts. 1000 allocations were performed and then the average cycle count was calculated.

This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(), and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which is more readable and has nicer semantics. However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced, and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later. Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add more sanity-checking of the argument.

It's illegal because it can sleep. Use a two step lookup scheme instead. First look up the vm_struct, then change the direct mapping, then finally unmap it. That's ok because nobody can change the particular virtual address range as long as the vm_struct is still in the global list. Also added some LinuxDoc documentation to iounmap.

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it. Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area. Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock differently according to whether or not it's init_mm. If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13). Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64 used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64 map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free took page_table_lock for no good reason.

In order to use the alternative sparsemem implmentation for NUMA kernels, we need to reorganize the config options. This patch effectively abstracts out the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM options to CONFIG_NUMA in most cases. Thus, the discontigmem implementation may be employed as always, but the sparsemem implementation may be used alternatively.

Caused oopses again. Also fix potential mismatch in checking if change_page_attr was needed. To do it without races I needed to change mm/vmalloc.c to export a __remove_vm_area that does not take vmlist lock. Noticed by Terence Ripperda and based on a patch of his.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
