7c85d1f9d3 powerpc: Fix machine check problem on 32-bit kernels
This fixes a bug found by Dave Jones that means that it is possible
for userspace to provoke a machine check on 32-bit kernels.  This
also fixes a couple of other places where I found similar problems
by inspection.

b1c231f5a5 [MIPS] Fix sparsemem support.
Move memory_present() in arch/mips/kernel/setup.c. When using sparsemem
extreme, this function does an allocate for bootmem. This would always
fail since init_bootmem hasn't been called yet.
    
Move memory_present after free_bootmem. This only marks actual memory
ranges as present instead of the entire address space.

c7d2d28b98 [PATCH] alpha: SMP IRQ routing fix
From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>

After removal of fixup_cpu_present_map() function Alpha ended up with an empty
cpu_present_map, so secondary CPUs on SMP systems are not being started.

Worse, on some platforms we route interrupts to secondary CPUs using
cpu_possible_map which is still populated properly.  As a result, these
interrupts go nowhere so the machines like DP264 aren't able to boot even with
a primary CPU.

Fixed basically by s/cpu_present_mask/cpu_present_map/.

Thanks to Ernst Herzberg for reporting the bug and testing the fix.

ec8510f6fe [ARM] 3540/1: ixp23xx: deal with gap in interrupt bitmasks
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

On the ixp23xx, the microengine thread interrupt sources are numbered
56..119, but their mask/status bits are located in bit positions 64..127
in the various registers in the interrupt controller (bit positions
56..63 are unused.)

We don't deal with this, so currently, when asked to enable IRQ 64, we
will enable IRQ 56 instead.

The only interrupts >= 64 are the thread interrupt sources, and there
are no in-tree users of those yet, so this is fortunately not a big
problem, but this needs fixing anyway.

7f3f1d01a9 [MIPS] Fix deadlock on MP with cache aliases.
A proper fix would involve introducing the notion of shared caches but
at this stage of 2.6.17 that's going to be too intrusive and not needed
for current hardware; aside I think some discussion will be needed.

So for now on the affected SMP configurations which happen to suffer from
cache aliases we make use of the fact that a single cache will be shared
by all processors.  This solves the deadlock issue and will improve
performance by getting rid of the smp_call_function overhead.

that doesn't seem to be important as the machine appear to work fine
without running those.  It's possible that Darwin doesn't run them.

822ff019f7 [PATCH] x86_64: Don't do syscall exit tracing twice
int_ret_from_syscall already does syscall exit tracing, so
no need to do it again in the caller.

This caused problems for UML and some other special programs doing
syscall interception.

7ca97c6131 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix off by one in bad_addr checking in find_e820_area
From: Robert Hentosh <robert_hentosh@dell.com>

Actually, we just stumbled on a different bug found in find_e820_area() in
e820.c.  The following code does not handle the edge condition correctly:

   while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size < ei->addr + ei->size)
       ;
   last = addr + size;
   if ( last > ei->addr + ei->size )
       continue;

The second statement in the while loop needs to be a <= b so that it is the
logical negavite of the if (a > b) outside it. It needs to read:

   while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size <= ei->addr + ei->size)
       ;

In the case that failed bad_addr was returning an address that is exactly size
bellow the end of the e820 range.

AK: Again together with the earlier avoid edma fix this fixes
boot on a Dell PE6850/16GB
