Minor simplification to the sparc64 tlb_flush_mmu: tlb_remove_page

[SPARC64] mm: context switch ptlock
sparc64 is unique among architectures in taking the page_table_lock in
its context switch (well, cris does too, but erroneously, and it's not
yet SMP anyway).
This seems to be a private affair between switch_mm and activate_mm,
using page_table_lock as a per-mm lock, without any relation to its uses
elsewhere. That's fine, but comment it as such; and unlock sooner in
switch_mm, more like in activate_mm (preemption is disabled here).
There is a block of "if (0)"ed code in smp_flush_tlb_pending which would
have liked to rely on the page_table_lock, in switch_mm and elsewhere;
but its comment explains how dup_mmap's flush_tlb_mm defeated it. And
though that could have been changed at any time over the past few years,
now the chance vanishes as we push the page_table_lock downwards, and
perhaps split it per page table page. Just delete that block of code.
Which leaves the mysterious spin_unlock_wait(&oldmm->page_table_lock)
in kernel/fork.c copy_mm. Textual analysis (supported by Nick Piggin)
suggests that the comment was written by DaveM, and that it relates to
the defeated approach in the sparc64 smp_flush_tlb_pending. Just delete
this block too.

[ARM] 3121/1: unconditionally use XCB=101 on ixp2000
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
Since we have to use XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 on the ixp2400 to
prevent it from regularly falling over, and since we have to deal with
manual write buffer flushing because of that, we might as well use
XCB=101 on all ixp2000 platforms since it's faster than XCB=000.

[ARM] 3118/1: fix and reenable nwfpe extended precision emulation for big-endian
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
nwfpe extended precision emulation used to be broken on big-endian
and was therefore disabled. This patch fixes nwfpe so that it copies
extended precision floats to/from userspace in the proper word order
(similar to patch #2046, see the description of that patch for an
explanation) and reenables the Kconfig option.
Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
The routine that nwfpe uses for converting floats/doubles to
extended precision fails to zero two bytes of kernel stack. This
is not immediately obvious, as the floatx80 structure has 16 bits
of implicit padding (by design.) These two bytes are copied to
userspace when an stfe is emulated, causing a possible info leak.
Make the padding explicit and zero it out in the relevant places.

functions. Most it does is the #if 0 of EXPORT_SYMBOL's, so if any modular
code will use any of them, re-adding will be trivial.
Modular ISAPnP might be interesting in some cases, but this is more legacy
code. If someone would work on it to sort all the issues out (starting
with the point that most users of __ISAPNP__ will have to be fixed)
re-enabling the required EXPORT_SYMBOL's won't be hard for him.
