The pktcdvd driver was using an 8 bit field to store the packet length
obtained from the disc track info.  This causes it to overflow packet length
values of 128KB or more.  I changed the field to 32 bits to fix this.

The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it
detected a 0 in the track info field.  I changed this to fail the operation
and refuse to access the media.  This seems more sane than attempting to
access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of
cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.

As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS
loops to use for_each_cpu().

(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h.  powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's
currently corrupting memory).

Hack for 2.6.16. In 2.6.17 all code that uses NR_CPUs should
be audited and changed to only touch possible CPUs.

Don't mark the reference per cpu data init data (so it stays
around after boot) and point all impossible CPUs to it. This way
they reference some valid - although shared memory. Usually
this is only initialization like INIT_LIST_HEADs and there
won't be races because these CPUs never run. Still somewhat hackish.

On some broken motherboards (at least one NForce3 based AMD64 laptop)
the PIT timer runs at a incorrect frequency.  This patch adds a new
option "apicpmtimer" that allows to use the APIC timer and calibrate it
using the PMTimer.  It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the
main timer from the APIC.

Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer.

The option defaults to off for now.

I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies
were usually a bit off, but always <1%, which should be tolerable.

TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected
systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

[ AK: I redid Kevin's fix to be simpler, but the idea and original
  analysis of the problem is from Kevin]

This avoid allocation failures on some SATA systems like Nvidia CK8
when the IOMMU gets fragmented. Modern SATA devices have quite large queues
(128 entries) and the FS with ext2/3 is good enough now that it often
passes whole 128 page sg lists down to the driver. These require
512K of continuous free space in the IOMMU aperture to map when merged.
When the IOMMU is fragmented this could lead to spurious IO errors
due to failing mappings.

Short term fix is to just try to map the SG list again unmerged
page by page - this way fragmentation doesn't matter anymore.
The code for that was already there, but it just wasn't enabled for the
merge case.

According to Kevin at least the Nvidia device doesn't seem to benefit
from merging much anyways, so the only slowdown is from trying
to do an unnecessary merge attempt.

Kevin plans to implement better fragmentation avoidance in the future,
but that wouldn't be 2.6.16 material.

TBD: should add some statistic counters to count how often that really
happens.

Currently, x86_64 and ia64 arches do not clear the corresponding bits
in the node's cpumask when a cpu goes down or cpu bring up is cancelled.
This is buggy since there are pieces of common code where the cpumask is
checked in the cpu down code path to decide on things (like in  the slab
down path).  PPC does the right thing, but x86_64 and ia64 don't (This
was the reason Sonny hit upon a slab bug during cpu offline on ppc and
could not reproduce on other arches).  This patch fixes it for x86_64.
I won't attempt ia64 as I cannot test it.

Credit for spotting this should go to Alok.

Another piece from the no-idle-tick patch.

This can be enabled with the "apicmaintimer" option.

This is mainly useful when the PIT/HPET interrupt is unreliable.
Note there are some systems that are known to stop the APIC
timer in C3. For those it will never work, but this case
should be automatically detected.

It also only works with PM timer right now. When HPET is used
the way the main timer handler computes the delay doesn't work.

It should be a bit more efficient because there is one less
regular interrupt to process on the boot processor.
