datum at a time. Introduce new operand type OP_MEM_STR which tells
writeback() that dst contains pointer to an array that should be written

Usually, big real mode uses large (4GB) segments. Currently we don't

we will trap and forward to the emulator. This results in significantly
faster execution, and less risk of hitting an unemulated instruction.

this check for overflow is a simple 'if (val < 0)'.
Because the events are rolled back, this check for overflow fails and the

detect the overflow and resets the counters and the events are lost completely.

ARM: ux500: don't select LEDS_GPIO for snowball
Using 'select' in Kconfig is hard, a platform cannot just
enable a driver without also making sure that its subsystem
is there. Also, there is no actual code dependency between
the platform and the gpio leds driver.
Without this patch, building without LEDS_CLASS esults in:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `create_gpio_led.part.2':
governor_userspace.c:(.devinit.text+0x5a58): undefined reference to `led_classdev_register'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `gpio_led_remove':
governor_userspace.c:(.devexit.text+0x6b8): undefined reference to `led_classdev_unregister'
This reverts 8733f53c6 "ARM: ux500: Kconfig: Compile in leds-gpio
support for Snowball" that introduced the regression and did not
provide a helpful explanation.
In order to leave the GPIO LED code still present in normal
builds, this also enables the symbol in u8500_defconfig, in addition
to the other LED drivers that are already selected there.

ARM: imx6: spin the cpu until hardware takes it down
Though commit 602bf40 (ARM: imx6: exit coherency when shutting down

still hangs seen with a more stressful hotplug testing.
It's expected that once imx_enable_cpu(cpu, false) is called, the cpu
will be taken down by hardware immediately, and the code after that
will not get any chance to execute. However, this is not always the
case from the testing. The cpu could possibly be alive for a few
cycles before hardware actually takes it down. So rather than letting
cpu execute some code that could cause a hang in these cycles, let's
make the cpu spin there and wait for hardware to take it down.

block: replace __getblk_slow misfix by grow_dev_page fix
Commit 91f68c89d8f3 ("block: fix infinite loop in __getblk_slow")
is not good: a successful call to grow_buffers() cannot guarantee
that the page won't be reclaimed before the immediate next call to
__find_get_block(), which is why there was always a loop there.
Yesterday I got "EXT4-fs error (device loop0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:3595:
inode #19278: block 664: comm cc1: unable to read itable block" on console,
which pointed to this commit.
I've been trying to bisect for weeks, why kbuild-on-ext4-on-loop-on-tmpfs
sometimes fails from a missing header file, under memory pressure on
ppc G5. I've never seen this on x86, and I've never seen it on 3.5-rc7
itself, despite that commit being in there: bisection pointed to an
irrelevant pinctrl merge, but hard to tell when failure takes between
18 minutes and 38 hours (but so far it's happened quicker on 3.6-rc2).
(I've since found such __ext4_get_inode_loc errors in /var/log/messages
from previous weeks: why the message never appeared on console until
yesterday morning is a mystery for another day.)
Revert 91f68c89d8f3, restoring __getblk_slow() to how it was (plus
a checkpatch nitfix). Simplify the interface between grow_buffers()
and grow_dev_page(), and avoid the infinite loop beyond end of device
by instead checking init_page_buffers()'s end_block there (I presume
that's more efficient than a repeated call to blkdev_max_block()),
returning -ENXIO to __getblk_slow() in that case.
And remove akpm's ten-year-old "__getblk() cannot fail ... weird"
comment, but that is worrying: are all users of __getblk() really
now prepared for a NULL bh beyond end of device, or will some oops??

And of course this fails if the patch has already maximum size.

Fix by using the existing stack_mask() to figure out the correct mask.
