There were two blocks of code for the two ways to twiddle
the terminal count pin in the AUXIO register, one for
sun4c and one for sun4m. Kill the former.

Remove sun4 and sun4c machine ID values from asm/machines.h
Also kill NUM_SUN_MACHINES, use ARRAY_SIZE instead.
Kill asm/machines.h include and sun4c checks from asm/floppy_32.h
Remove asm/machines.h include from setup_32.c and time_32.c, unused.

As we no longer support sun4c we can remove all the code to
support remapping the kernel in head_32.S.
We also try to tell the user that the machine is not support,
in case someone try to boot the kernel on a sun4c one day

We used to runtime patch the trap table for srmmu.
With the removal of sun4c support this is no longer required.
With the sun4c trap removed we can remove all the referenced
trap handling which is sun4c specific.
This also allows us to get rid of the nosun4c.c file that
contained only dummy functions/data.

Machines with sun4c support are very rare these days, and noone
is using them for any practical purposes.
The sun4c support has been know broken for quite some time too.
So rather than trying to keep it up-to-date, lets get rid of it.
This allows us to do some very welcome cleanup of sparc32 support.
Updated the former sun4c specifc nmi (which was also used
for sun4m UP) to be a generic UP NMI.

Commit 625d693e9784f988371e69c2b41a2172c0be6c11 (linux-next)
"sparc64: Convert over to NO_BOOTMEM."
causes the following compile failure for sparc64 allnoconfig:
arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c:822:16: error: unused variable 'paddr'
arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c:1759:7: error: unused variable 'node'
arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c:809:12: error: 'memblock_nid_range' defined but not used
The paddr decl can easily be shuffled within the ifdef. The
memblock_nid_range is just a stub function for when NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES
is off, but the only caller is within a NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES enabled
section, so we can simply delete it.
The unused "node" is slightly more interesting. In the case of
"# CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is not set" we no longer get the
definition of:
#define NODE_DATA(nid) (node_data[nid])
from arch/sparc/include/asm/mmzone.h - but instead we get:
#define NODE_DATA(nid) (&contig_page_data)
from include/linux/mmzone.h -- and since the arg is ignored,
the thing really is unused. Rather than put in a confusing
looking __maybe_unused, simply splitting the declaration
from the assignment seemed to me to be the least offensive.

The kernel uses l14 timers as clockevents. l10 timer is used
as clocksource if platform master_l10_counter isn't constantly
zero. The clocksource is continuous, so it's possible to use
high resolution timers. l10 timer is also used as clockevent
on UP configurations.
This realization is for sun4m, sun4d, sun4c, microsparc-IIep
and LEON platforms. The appropriate LEON changes was made by
Konrad Eisele.
In case of sun4m's oneshot mode, profile irq is zeroed in
smp4m_percpu_timer_interrupt(). It is maybe
needless (double, triple etc overflow does nothing).
sun4d is able to have oneshot mode too, but I haven't
any way to test it. So code of its percpu timer handler
is made as much equal to the current code as possible.
The patch is tested on sun4m box in SMP mode by me,
and tested by Konrad on leon in up mode (leon smp
is broken atm - due to other reasons).

%g2 is meant to hold the CPUID number throughout this routine, since
at the very beginning, and at the very end, we use %g2 to calculate
indexes into per-cpu arrays.
However we erroneously clobber it in order to hold the %cwp register
value mid-stream.
Fix this code to use %g3 for the %cwp read and related calulcations
instead.

The invocation of softirq is now handled by irq_exit(), so there is no
need for sparc64 to invoke it on the trap-return path. In fact, doing so
is a bug because if the trap occurred in the idle loop, this invocation
can result in lockdep-RCU failures. The problem is that RCU ignores idle
CPUs, and the sparc64 trap-return path to the softirq handlers fails to
tell RCU that the CPU must be considered non-idle while those handlers
are executing. This means that RCU is ignoring any RCU read-side critical
sections in those handlers, which in turn means that RCU-protected data
can be yanked out from under those read-side critical sections.
The shiny new lockdep-RCU ability to detect RCU read-side critical sections
that RCU is ignoring located this problem.
The fix is straightforward: Make sparc64 stop manually invoking the
softirq handlers.

The DS driver registers as a subsys_initcall() but this can be too
early, in particular this risks registering before we've had a chance
to allocate and setup module_kset in kernel/params.c which is
performed also as a subsyts_initcall().
Register DS using device_initcall() insteal.

Commit d065bd810b6deb67d4897a14bfe21f8eb526ba99
(mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer) and
commit 37b23e0525d393d48a7d59f870b3bc061a30ccdb
(x86,mm: make pagefault killable)
The above commits introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.
These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.
Port these changes to 32-bit sparc.

The above commits introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.
These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.
Port these changes to 64-bit sparc.

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:
A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.
For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").
The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."
People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.
