commit dfa9771a7c4784bafd0673bc7abcee3813088b77 upstream.

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").

The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size.  The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.

This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

GENERIC_GPIO has been made equivalent to GPIOLIB in architecture code
and all driver code has been switch to depend on GPIOLIB. It is thus

The microblaze idle loop provides a polling and a non polling version,
which are suprisingly both polling, just with slightly different
instrumentation. Remove them and use the generic poller.

The Kconfig symbol ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP was killed in v3.3. After
that it popped up again in microblaze and metag. Nobody noticed,
probably because these Kconfig symbols are entirely unused and these
architectures both select HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Anyhow, these two
entries can also be killed.
