nfs_writepage() refuses to write back mapped pages at all on the page
reclaim path, causing systems to get locked up when there's a lot of dirty
mmapped data around.  The patch changes NFS so that it will start I/O
against these pages.

The code as it stands is designed to defer writeout to pdflush which can do
larger, more efficient I/Os.  But there shouldn't be much traffic by this
path, and going slow is better than not going at all.

Patch originally from Trond.

VIA chipsets are broken and don't work with IOMMU enabled. For some mysterious
reason (the IOMMU logic is actually in the CPU) they manage to corrupt all
data going through the aperture to PCI devices.

There was a workaround previously that enabled the slower softmmu when VIA is 
detected on the normal IOMMU path (when there is more than 3GB of memory). But
CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG took a short cut that was not handled, which ended up with 
VIA systems not booting when this option is enabled.

This patch enables the workaround with CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG/iommu=force too

The fast system-call fall-back-path has a race: it reads PSR, modifies
some bits, then writes back the new PSR.  Unfortunately, the contents
of PSR may change between reading and writing it.  For example, an
interrupt could occur which could trigger a context-switch.  The
context-switch might in turn flush the floating-point-high (FPH)
partition to memory, clear PSR.MFH, and set PSR.DFH.  To prevent this
race, the patch below turns off PSR.I before reading PSR.

This fixes a floating-point corruption problem that was observed on a
system with a libc which has the fast system-call support enabled.

The performance impact is minimal (on the order of a handful of cycles).

I waffled over this for ages.  On balance, I think it's best to mark those

And on reflection, I'm not sure why we go bringing ramdisk blockdev pages
uptodate all over the place anyway.  But ramdisk is weird and it passes
testing.  Let those dogs sleep.

A filesystem's ->writepage() implementation nowadays must run either
redirty_page_for_writepage() or the combination of set_page_writeback()/
end_page_writeback().  Failure to do so leaves the page itself marked clean
but it is tagged as dirty in the radix tree (PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY).  This
incoherency can lead to all sorts of hard-to-debug problems in the
filesystem like having dirty inodes at umount and losing written data.

The patch updates Documentation/filesystems/Locking to reflect this
requirement.

struct page_state is large (148 bytes) and we put them on the stack in awkward
