Irq stacks provide an essential protection from stack overflows through
external interrupts, at the cost of two additionals stacks per CPU.

Enable them unconditionally to simplify the kernel build and prevent
people from accidentally disabling them.

<title>powerpc: Move kdump default base address to 64MB on 64bit</title>

<id>b5416ca9f824d3deb1e25a32683100360e104b72</id>
<content type='text'>
We are seeing boot fails on some System p machines when using the kdump
crashkernel= boot option. The default kdump base address is 32MB, so if we
reserve 256MB for kdump then we reserve all of the RMO except the first 32MB.

We really want kdump to reserve some memory in the RMO and most of it
elsewhere but that will require more significant changes. For now we can shift
the default base address to 64MB when CONFIG_PPC64 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE are
set. This isn't quite correct since what we really care about is the kdump
kernel is relocatable, but we already make the assumption that base kernel
and kdump kernel have the same CONFIG_RELOCATABLE setting, eg:

#ifndef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
        if (crashk_res.start != KDUMP_KERNELBASE)
                printk("Crash kernel location must be 0x%x\n",
                                KDUMP_KERNELBASE);
...

RTAS is instantiated towards the top of our RMO, so if we were to go any
higher we risk not having enough RMO memory for the kdump kernel on boxes
with a 128MB RMO.

<title>powerpc/macio: Fix probing of macio devices by using the right of match table</title>

Grant patches added an of mach table to struct device_driver. However,
while he changed the macio device code to use that, he left the match
table pointer in struct macio_driver and didn't update drivers to use
the "new" one, thus breaking the probing.

This completes the change by moving all drivers to setup the "new"
one, removing all traces of the old one, and while at it (since it
changes the exact same locations), I also remove two other duplicates
from struct driver which are the name and owner fields.

There are more architectures that don't support ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN than
those that support it.  This removes removes ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in
asm-generic/scatterlist.h and lets arhictectures to define it.

It's clearer than defining ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN asm-generic/scatterlist.h and
undefing it in arhictectures that don't support it.

This reverts commit b3b77c8caef1750ebeea1054e39e358550ea9f55, which was
also totally broken (see commit 0d2daf5cc858 that reverted the crc32
version of it).  As reported by Stephen Rothwell, it causes problems on
big-endian machines:

&gt; In file included from fs/jfs/jfs_types.h:33,
&gt;                  from fs/jfs/jfs_incore.h:26,

&gt; fs/jfs/endian24.h:36:101: warning: "__LITTLE_ENDIAN" is not defined

The kernel has never had that crazy "__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN"
model.  It's not how we do things, and it isn't how we _should_ do
things.  So don't go there.
