which is a showstopper for X development on alpha.
The generic HAVE_PCI_MMAP code (drivers/pci-sysfs.c) is not
very useful since we have to deal with three different types
of MMIO address spaces: sparse and dense mappings for old
ev4/ev5 machines and "normal" 1:1 MMIO space (bwx) for ev56 and
later.
Also "write combine" mappings are meaningless on alpha - roughly
speaking, alpha does write combining, IO reordering and other
optimizations by default, unless user splits IO accesses
with memory barriers.
I think the cleanest way to deal with resource files on alpha
is to convert the default no-op pci_create_resource_files() and
pci_remove_resource_files() for !HAVE_PCI_MMAP case into __weak
functions and override them with alpha specific ones.
Another alpha hook is needed for "legacy_" resource files
to handle sparse addressing (pci_adjust_legacy_attr).
With the "standard" resourceN files on ev56/ev6 libpciaccess
works "out of the box". Handling of resourceN_sparse/resourceN_dense
files on older machines obviously requires some userland work.
Sparse/dense stuff has been tested on sx164 (pca56/pyxis, normally
uses bwx IO) with the kernel hacked into "cia compatible" mode.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
