[POWERPC] Xilinx: Update compatible to use values generated by BSP generator.
Mainly, this involves two changes:
1) xilinx->xlnx (recognized standard is to use the stock ticker)
2) In order to have the device tree focus on describing what the
hardware is as exactly as possible, the compatible strings contain the
full IP name and IP version.

[POWERPC] Cell IOMMU fixed mapping support
This patch adds support for setting up a fixed IOMMU mapping on certain
cell machines. For 64-bit devices this avoids the performance overhead of
mapping and unmapping pages at runtime. 32-bit devices are unable to use
the fixed mapping.
The fixed mapping is established at boot, and maps all of physical memory
1:1 into device space at some offset. On machines with < 30 GB of memory
we setup the fixed mapping immediately above the normal IOMMU window.
For example a machine with 4GB of memory would end up with the normal
IOMMU window from 0-2GB and the fixed mapping window from 2GB to 6GB. In
this case a 64-bit device wishing to DMA to 1GB would be told to DMA to
3GB, plus any offset required by firmware. The firmware offset is encoded
in the "dma-ranges" property.
On machines with 30GB or more of memory, we are unable to place the fixed
mapping above the normal IOMMU window as we would run out of address space.
Instead we move the normal IOMMU window to coincide with the hash page
table, this region does not need to be part of the fixed mapping as no
device should ever be DMA'ing to it. We then setup the fixed mapping
from 0 to 32GB.

[SCSI] bidirectional command support
At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second
bidi_read request.
At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the
bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on
request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed.
- Define scsi_bidi_cmnd() to return true if it is a bidi request and a
second sgtable was allocated.
- Define scsi_in()/scsi_out() to return the in or out scsi_data_buffer
from this command This API is to isolate users from the mechanics of
bidi.
- Define scsi_end_bidi_request() to do what scsi_end_request() does but
for a bidi request. This is necessary because bidi commands are a bit
tricky here. (See comments in body)
- scsi_release_buffers() will also release the bidi_read scsi_data_buffer
- scsi_io_completion() on bidi commands will now call
scsi_end_bidi_request() and return.
- The previous work done in scsi_init_io() is now done in a new
scsi_init_sgtable() (which is 99% identical to old scsi_init_io())
The new scsi_init_io() will call the above twice if needed also for
the bidi_read command. Only at this point is a command bidi.
- In scsi_error.c at scsi_eh_prep/restore_cmnd() make sure bidi-lld is not
confused by a get-sense command that looks like bidi. This is done
by puting NULL at request->next_rq, and restoring.

When executing a test program called "crashme", we found the KVM guest cannot

After some fixes on emulator insn validity judgment, we found it's hard to
get the current emulator handle the invalid instructions correctly, for the
#UD trap for hypercall patching caused troubles. The problem is, if the opcode
itself was OK, but combination of opcode and modrm_reg was invalid, and one
operand of the opcode was memory (SrcMem or DstMem), the emulator will fetch
the memory operand first rather than checking the validity, and may encounter
an error there. For example, ".byte 0xfe, 0x34, 0xcd" has this problem.

KVM: Accelerated apic support
This adds a mechanism for exposing the virtual apic tpr to the guest, and a
protocol for letting the guest update the tpr without causing a vmexit if
conditions allow (e.g. there is no interrupt pending with a higher priority
than the new tpr).

KVM: local APIC TPR access reporting facility
Add a facility to report on accesses to the local apic tpr even if the
local apic is emulated in the kernel. This is basically a hack that
allows userspace to patch Windows which tends to bang on the tpr a lot.

KVM: VMX: Add printk_ratelimit in vmx_intr_assist
Add printk_ratelimit check in front of printk. This prevents spamming
of the message during 32-bit ubuntu 6.06server install. Previously, it
would hang during the partition formatting stage.

KVM: SVM: support writing 0 to K8 performance counter control registers
This lets SVM ignore writes of the value 0 to the performance counter control
registers. Thus enabling them will still fail in the guest, but a write of 0
which keeps them disabled is accepted. This is required to boot Windows
Vista 64bit.
