[TG3]: Add indirect register method for 5703 behind ICH
This patch adds the new workaround for 5703 A1/A2 if it is behind
certain ICH bridges. The workaround disables memory and uses config.
cycles only to access all registers. The 5702/03 chips can mistakenly
decode the special cycles from the ICH chipsets as memory write cycles,
causing corruption of register and memory space. Only certain ICH
bridges will drive special cycles with non-zero data during the address
phase which can fall within the 5703's address range. This is not an ICH
bug as the PCI spec allows non-zero address during special cycles.
However, only these ICH bridges are known to drive non-zero addresses
during special cycles.

This paves the way to generalise the rest of the sock ID lookup

kernels (where IPv6 is always built as a module):
Now if a protocol wants to use the TIME_WAIT generic infrastructure it
only has to set the sk_prot->twsk_obj_size field with the size of its
inet_timewait_sock derived sock and proto_register will create
sk_prot->twsk_slab, for now its only for INET sockets, but we can
introduce timewait_sock later if some non INET transport protocolo
wants to use this stuff.
Next changesets will take advantage of this new infrastructure to
generalise even more TCP code.
It really just makes the existing code be a helper function that
tcp_v4_hash and tcp_unhash uses, specifying the right inet_hashinfo,
tcp_hashinfo.
One thing I'll investigate at some point is to have the inet_hashinfo
pointer in sk_prot, so that we get all the hashtable information from
the sk pointer, this can lead to some extra indirections that may well
hurt performance/code size, we'll see. Ultimate idea would be that

[SPARC64]: Revamp Spitfire error trap handling.
Current uncorrectable error handling was poor enough
that the processor could just loop taking the same
trap over and over again. Fix things up so that we
at least get a log message and perhaps even some register
state.
In the process, much consolidation became possible,
particularly with the correctable error handler.
Prefix assembler and C function names with "spitfire"
to indicate that these are for Ultra-I/II/IIi/IIe only.
More work is needed to make these routines robust and
featureful to the level of the Ultra-III error handlers.

[PATCH] mod_devicetable.h fixes
* ieee1394_device_id has kernel_ulong_t field after an odd number of
__u32 ones. Since mod_devicetable.h is included both from kernel and
from host build helper, we may be in trouble if we are building on
32bit host for 64bit target - userland sees unsigned long long,
kernel sees unsigned long and while their sizes match, alignments
might not. Fixed by forcing alignment. Fortunately, almost nobody
else needs that - the rest of such fields is naturally aligned as it
is.
* of_device_id has void * in it. Host userland helpers need
kernel_ulong_t instead, since their void * might have nothing to do
with the kernel one. Fixed in the same way it's done for similar
problems in pcmcia_device_id (ifdef __KERNEL__).
* pcmcia_device_id has the same problem as ieee1394_device_id. Fixed
the same way.

[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.
