I cannot disable inode-read-ahead feature of ext4 (on 2.6.37):

# echo 0 > /sys/fs/ext4/sda2/inode_readahead_blks 
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

On a server with lots of small files and random access this read-ahead makes
performance worse, and I'd like to disable it. I work around this problem
by using value of 1, but it still reads an extra block.

This patch fixes the problem by checking for zero explicitly.

When Al moved the nameidata_dentry_drop_rcu_maybe() call into the
do_follow_link function in commit 844a3917 ("nothing in
do_follow_link() is going to see RCU"), he mistakenly left the

	BUG_ON(inode != path->dentry->d_inode);

behind.  Which would otherwise be ok, but that BUG_ON() really needs to
be _after_ dropping RCU, since the dentry isn't necessarily stable
otherwise.

So complete the code movement in that commit, and move the BUG_ON() into
do_follow_link() too.  This means that we need to pass in 'inode' as an
argument (just for this one use), but that's a small thing.  And
eventually we may be confident enough in our path lookup that we can
just remove the BUG_ON() and the unnecessary inode argument.

Add an m68k/coldfire optimized memmove() function for the m68knommu arch.
This is the same function as used by m68k. Simple speed tests show this
is faster once buffers are larger than 4 bytes, and significantly faster
on much larger buffers (4 times faster above about 100 bytes).

This also goes part of the way to fixing a regression caused by commit
ea61bc46 ("m68k/m68knommu: merge MMU and
non-MMU string.h"), which breaks non-coldfire non-mmu builds (which is
the 68x328 and 68360 families). They currently have no memmove() fucntion
defined, since there was none in the m68knommu/lib functions.

The m68k arch implements its own memcmp() function. It is not optimized
in any way (it is the most strait forward coding of memcmp you can get).
Remove it and use the kernels standard memcmp() implementation.

This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted
as f00eaeea.  The original change was broken and caused X startup
failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading
device dependent config space.  The normal capable() interface returns
true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success.  This thinko
is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly.

So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a33 ("pci: check caps
from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the
capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing.
Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's
capabilities for config space reads.

mp_find_ioapic() prints errors like:

    ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 13

if it can't find the IOAPIC that manages that specific GSI. I
see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently
doesn't have any IOAPICs.

But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that
none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is
to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep
returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.)
