This patch takes advantage of the new bio-prison interface where the
memory is now passed in rather than using a mempool in bio-prison.
This allows the map function to avoid performing potentially-blocking
allocations that could lead to deadlocks: We want to avoid the cell
allocation that is done in bio_detain.
(The potential for mempool deadlocks still remains in other functions
that use bio_detain.)

Change the dm_bio_prison interface so that instead of allocating memory
internally, dm_bio_detain is supplied with a pre-allocated cell each
time it is called.
This enables a subsequent patch to move the allocation of the struct
dm_bio_prison_cell outside the thin target's mapping function so it can
no longer block there.

If an instance of a target sets this, it will be queried before the
target's mapping function is called on a write bio, and the response
controls the number of copies of the write bio that the target will
receive.
This provides a convenient way for a target to send the same data to
more than one device. The new cache target uses this in writethrough
mode, to send the data both to the cache and the backing device.

This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd
issues I/O.
Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be
set in /sys/module/*/parameters.
We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
"(100 * io_period / total_period)". This is compared with the user-defined
throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

layoutget's prepare hook can call rpc_exit with status = NFS4_OK (0).
Because of this, nfs4_proc_layoutget can't depend on a 0 status to mean
that the RPC was successfully sent, received and parsed.
To fix this, use the result's len member to see if parsing took place.
This fixes the following OOPS -- calling xdr_init_decode() with a buffer length
0 doesn't set the stream's 'p' member and ends up using uninitialized memory
in filelayout_decode_layout.

openrisc: update DTLB-miss handler last
The self-modifying code that updates the TLB handler at start-up has
a subtle ordering requirement: the DTLB handler must be the last thing
changed.
What I was seeing was the following:
i) The DTLB handler was updated
ii) The following printk caused a TLB miss and the look-up resulted
in the page containing itlb_vector (0xc0000a00) being bounced from
the TLB.
iii) The subsequent access to itlb_vector caused a TLB miss and reload
of the page containing itlb_vector from the page tables.
iv) But this reload of the page in iii) was being done by the "new"
DTLB-miss handler which resulted (correctly) in the page flags being
set to read-only; the subsequent write-access to itlb_vector thus
resulted in a page (access) fault.
This is easily remedied if we ensure that the boot-time DTLB-miss handler
continues running until the very last bit of self-modifying code has been
executed. This patch should ensure that the very last thing updated is the
DTLB-handler itself.

kernel: Replace timeconst.pl with a bc script
bc is the standard tool for multi-precision arithmetic. We switched
to Perl because akpm reported a hard-to-reproduce build hang, which
was very odd because affected and unaffected machines were all running
the same version of GNU bc.
Unfortunately switching to Perl required a really ugly "canning"
mechanism to support Perl < 5.8 installations lacking the Math::BigInt
module.
It was recently pointed out to me that some very old versions of GNU
make had problems with pipes in subshells, which was indeed the
construct used in the Makefile rules in that version of the patch;
Perl didn't need it so switching to Perl fixed the problem for
unrelated reasons. With the problem (hopefully) root-caused, we can
switch back to bc and do the arbitrary-precision arithmetic naturally.

ARM: 7646/1: mm: use static_vm for managing static mapped areas
A static mapped area is ARM-specific, so it is better not to use
generic vmalloc data structure, that is, vmlist and vmlist_lock
for managing static mapped area. And it causes some needless overhead and
reducing this overhead is better idea.
Now, we have newly introduced static_vm infrastructure.
With it, we don't need to iterate all mapped areas. Instead, we just
iterate static mapped areas. It helps to reduce an overhead of finding
matched area. And architecture dependency on vmalloc layer is removed,
so it will help to maintainability for vmalloc layer.

ARM: 7645/1: ioremap: introduce an infrastructure for static mapped area
In current implementation, we used ARM-specific flag, that is,
VM_ARM_STATIC_MAPPING, for distinguishing ARM specific static mapped area.
The purpose of static mapped area is to re-use static mapped area when
entire physical address range of the ioremap request can be covered
by this area.
This implementation causes needless overhead for some cases.
For example, assume that there is only one static mapped area and
vmlist has 300 areas. Every time we call ioremap, we check 300 areas for
deciding whether it is matched or not. Moreover, even if there is
no static mapped area and vmlist has 300 areas, every time we call
ioremap, we check 300 areas in now.
If we construct a extra list for static mapped area, we can eliminate
above mentioned overhead.
With a extra list, if there is one static mapped area,
we just check only one area and proceed next operation quickly.
In fact, it is not a critical problem, because ioremap is not frequently
used. But reducing overhead is better idea.
Another reason for doing this work is for removing architecture dependency
on vmalloc layer. I think that vmlist and vmlist_lock is internal data
structure for vmalloc layer. Some codes for debugging and stat inevitably
use vmlist and vmlist_lock. But it is preferable that they are used
as least as possible in outside of vmalloc.c
Now, I introduce an ARM-specific infrastructure for static mapped area. In
the following patch, we will use this and resolve above mentioned problem.
