Certain 32-bit kernel configurations seem to be able to cause references,
this was observed with gcc 4.1.2.

If only modules were users of these functions they did not get linked into
the kernel proper, so later module loads would fail as well.

Many Makefiles in arch/mips have EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) line. This
is redundant while AFLAGS contains $(cflags-y) and any options only
listed in CFLAGS (not in cflags-y) should be unnecessary for asm
sources.

From the 01408c4939 log message:
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.

This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

This implementation has support for the concept of one separate ioport
address space by PCI domain. A pointer to the virtual address where
the port space of a domain has been mapped has been added to struct
pci_controller and systems should be fixed to fill in this value. For
single domain systems this will be the same value as passed to
set_io_port_base().

The 32-bit version and 64-bit version are almost equal. Unify them.
This makes further improvements (for example, supporting CDEX, etc.)
easier.

Implement optimized asm version of csum_partial_copy_nocheck,
csum_partial_copy_from_user and csum_and_copy_to_user which can do
calculate and copy in parallel, based on memcpy.S.

Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using
the cmpxchg() macro. Put the implementation in one spot that everyone
can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this.
Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a
special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading
which a pure C version would require.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
