The proposed _tlbie call at update_mmu_cache() is safe because:

Addresses for which update_mmu_cache() gets invocated are never inside the
static kernel virtual mapping, meaning that there is no risk for the
_tlbie() here to be thrashing the pinned entry, as Dan suspected.

The intermediate TLB state in which this bug can be triggered is not
visible by userspace or any other contexts, except the page fault handling
path.  So there is no need to worry about userspace dcbxxx users.

The other solution to this is to avoid dcbst misbehaviour in the first
place, which involves changing in-kernel "dcbst" callers to use 8xx
specific SPR's.

Summary:

On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly "dcbst" from
flush_dcache_icache) fault as write operation if there is an unpopulated
TLB entry for the address in question.  To workaround that, we invalidate
the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst misbehaviour.

If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is
possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd
work struct has been flushed.  The problem is the ordering of
cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() and blk_put_queue() in cfq_put_cfqd().  The
latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.

- Adjust slice values

- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
  prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
  higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
  coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
  first set up the queue.

- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
  done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
  the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
  need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
  allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.

- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
  it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).

- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
  well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
  property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
  could be considered sync, when they were really async.

- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.

- Various other cleanups and fixes

In cfq_find_next_crq(), cfq tries to find the next request by choosing
one of two requests before and after the current one.  Currently, when
choosing the next request, if there's no next request, the next
candidate is NULL, resulting in selection of the previous request.  This
results in weird scheduling.  Once we reach the end, we always seek
backward.

The correct behavior is using the first request as the next candidate.
cfq_choose_req() already has logics for handling wrapped requests.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

This import is based on my latest from -mm.

Add separate files for the different 8250 ISA-based serial boards.

Looking across all the various architectures, it seems reasonable that
we can key the availability of the configuration options for these
beasts to the bus-related symbols (iow, CONFIG_ISA).  We also standardise
the base baud/uart clock rate for these boards - I'm sure that isn't
architecture specific, but is solely dependent on the crystal fitted
on the board (which should be the same no matter what type of machine
its fitted into.)
