dm: delay target

New device-mapper target that can delay I/O (for testing).  Reads can be
separated from writes, redirected to different underlying devices and delayed
by differing amounts of time.

dm raid1: one kmirrord per mirror

This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror
set.  This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the
persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror.  The single
instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits
which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain.  But kmirrord
never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync
write_bits.

_mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the
workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before
destroying it.

SLUB: add CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be used to switch off the debugging and sysfs components

Note that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is materially different from CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG.
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used to enable slab debugging in SLAB.  SLUB enables
debugging via a boot parameter.  SLUB debug code should always be present.

SLUB: add support for dynamic cacheline size determination

SLUB currently assumes that the cacheline size is static.  However, i386 f.e.
supports dynamic cache line size determination.

Use cache_line_size() instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES in the allocator.

That also explains the purpose of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN.  So we will need to keep
that one around to allow dynamic aligning of objects depending on boot
determination of the cache line size.

Documentation/i386/boot.txt: update and correct

In the process of rewriting the x86 setup code, I found a number of
inaccuracies and outdated recommendations in the boot protocol
documentation.  Revamp to make it more up to date.

In particular, the common use of the heap actually requires (slightly)
more than 4K of heap plus stack, which is the recommended amount in
the document; currently the code compensates by being smaller than
specified, but we can't assume that will be true forever.  Thus,
recommend that if we have a modern bzImage kernel, that the bootloader
maximizes the available space.

[SPARC64] PCI: Use root list of pbm's instead of pci_controller_info's

The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm,
with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info
entirely as there really isn't any need for it.

This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of
the PCI error interrupt handling.

It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for
a few reasons:

1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want
   to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both
   PBMs for error status.  These errors come from the UPA
   front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus
   segments.

   Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure
   hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info

2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the
   'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be
   eliminated trivially.

What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm
to another.

vgacon: disallow console operations when in KD_GRAPHICS mode

Reported by James Pearson as:

 boot to run level 3

 if not root, then make sure /dev/console is writeable

 login and type:

 setterm -blank 0

 start X

 type into an xterm:

 while true; do echo "" > /dev/console; usleep 100000; done

 while the above loop is running switch to the text console and back
 again (Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7)

 ... and the screen will be shifting (and wrapping) to the left.

This problem stems from continuously writing text to the system console (which
is in KD_TEXT mode) while the foreground console is in KD_GRAPHICS
mode. Somewhere along the way, console printing got confused and omitted the
KD_GRAPHICS/KD_TEXT test.  Thus, vgacon attempted to scroll the screen of X,
which causes X to shift.

Fix by disallowing vgacon to touch the hardware when the vc is in KD_GRAPHICS
mode. A definitive fix entails a full audit of the console code.
