    [PATCH] x86-64 merge for 2.6.0test3 · 8b49c803

    Without these changes an x86-64 NUMA kernel won't boot in many
    configurations.
    
    The main change is the improved IOMMU code which supports merging of
    mappings and has various bugfixes.
    
     - Update defconfig
     - Use argument ptregs in 32bit elf_core_copy_task_fpregs
     - Harden aperture fixup code: read aperture from the AGP bridge if needed,
       better error checking.
     - Support nmi_watchdog=panic to panic on watchdog trigger
     - IOMMU: Support panic on IOMMU overflow (iommu=panic)
     - IOMMU: Force SAC for mappings >40bits when iommu=force is active
       (this can potentially give better performance)
     - IOMMU: Cache northbridges for faster TLB flush
     - IOMMU: Fix SMP race in TLB flush
     - IOMMU: Merge pci_alloc_consistent and pci_map_single
     - IOMMU: Clean up leak tracing
     - IOMMU: Rewrite pci_map_sg, support merging of mappings
       On overflow fall back to piece-by-piece mapping.
     - IOMMU: Tell block layer to assume merging when iommu force is active
       (this gives better performance with MTP fusion, drawback is that the
       overflow/fragmentation handling of the IOMMU area is still a big
       dubious with that)
     - Fix/clean up per cpu data
     - Add 64bit clean time(2)
     - Export cpu_callout_map for IPv6
     - Handle nodes with no own memory in NUMA discovery.
       This fixes boot on various newer Opteron motherboards where the memory
       is only connected to a single CPU.
     - Fix fallback path for failed NUMA discovery. numnodes has to be reset.
     - Check for enabled nodes in NUMA discovery (Eric Biederman)
     - Remove NUMA emunodes support. Has badly bitrotted.
     - Add __clear_bit_string for IOMMU code
     - Add new 32bit system calls to ia32_unistd.h
     - Remove duplicate default_do_nmi prototype
     - Make PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS dependent on no_iommu
     - Fix padding length of siginfo_t to match glibc
     - More pci direct access functions.
