A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular:
- move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which
is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field,
which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to
be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock().
This mimics the i386 behaviour.
- move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out
of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better
chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical
with restore_fpu() and init_fpu().
- implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can
unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures.
Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in
particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads,
In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000
context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.

The previous implementation of clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage
checked to see if there was a D-cache aliasing issue between the user
and kernel mappings of a page, but if there was they always did a
flush with writeback on the dirtied kernel alias.
However as we now have the ability to map a page into kernel space
with the same cache colour as the user mapping, there is no need to
write back this data.
Currently we also invalidate the kernel alias as a precaution, however
I'm not sure if this is actually required.
Also correct the definition of FIX_CMAP_END so that the mappings created
by kmap_coherent() are actually at the correct colour.

sh port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature currently implemented for some architectures
such us i386.
Right now the SH kernel has a 100% lazy fpu behaviour.
This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use.
However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap every context
switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: after 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.
After 256 switches, this is reset and the 100% lazy behavior is returned.
Tests with LMbench showed no regression.
I saw a little improvement due to the prefetching (~2%).
The tests below also show that, with this sLeazy patch, indeed,
the number of FPU exceptions is reduced.
To test this. I hacked the lat_ctx LMBench to use the FPU a little more.

Commit 86cf898e1d ("intel-iommu: Check for
'DMAR at zero' BIOS error earlier.") was supposed to work by pretending
not to detect an IOMMU if it was actually being reported by the BIOS at
physical address zero.
However, the intel_iommu_init() function is called unconditionally, as
are the corresponding functions for other IOMMU hardware.
So the patch only worked if you have RAM above the 4GiB boundary. It
caused swiotlb to be initialised when no IOMMU was detected during early
boot, and thus the later IOMMU init would refuse to run.
But if you have less RAM than that, swiotlb wouldn't get set up and the
IOMMU _would_ still end up being initialised, even though we never
claimed to detect it.
This patch also sets the dmar_disabled flag when the error is detected
during the initial detection phase -- so that the later call to
intel_iommu_init() will return without doing anything, regardless of
whether swiotlb is used or not.

Dave,
Attached is an update of my patch against the cpufreq fixes branch.
Before applying the patch I compiled and booted the tree to see if the panic
was still there -- to my surprise it was not. This is because of the conversion
of cpufreq_cpu_governor to a char[].
While the panic is kaput, the problem of stale data continues and my patch is
still valid. It is possible to end up with the wrong governor after hotplug
events because CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR is statically linked to a default,
while the cpu siblings may have had a different governor assigned by a user.
ie) the patch is still needed in order to keep the governors assigned
properly when hotplugging devices

Allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel
Memory hotplug and hibernation were exclusive in Kconfig. This is
obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in
the same image.
After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with
parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in
process. It was also working for s390 before.
This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the
memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against
hibernation.
Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and
hibernation.
