hwmon: (abituguru3) Match partial DMI board name strings
The switch-over to using DMI board strings to identify abituguru3 compatible
mainboards works most of the time, but sometimes the vendor has substantially
modified the board string between BIOS revisions.
We have found that the vendor chipset identification string (provided in
brackets) changes frequently and is of no use to us. The rest of the board
string sometimes changes in subtle ways, e.g. whitespace or variations in
capitalization.
The new comparison code checks only a part of the supplied DMI board string,
trimming the bracketed content, whitespace, and ignoring case as necessary.
This fixes a bug where an IP35 Pro running an early BIOS would not be
detected without the force=1 module parameter, and also speculatively
fixes other similiar issues.

Fix timeouts in sys_pselect7
Since we (Analog Devices) updated our Blackfin kernel to 2.6.28, we've
seen occasional 5-second hangs from telnet. telnetd calls select with a
NULL timeout, but with the new kernel, the system call occasionally
returns 0, which causes telnet to call sleep (5). This did not happen
with earlier kernels.
The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable
"to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was
passed in, but not used further. It needs to be passed to
core_sys_select instead of &end_time.

Commit b430428a188e8a434325e251d0704af4b88b4711 ("8250: Don't clobber
spinlocks.") introduced a regression on the parisc architecture, which
broke the handover to the serial port at boottime.
early_serial_setup() was changed to only copy a subset of the uart_port
fields, and sadly the "type" and "line" fields were forgotten and thus
the serial port was not initialized and could not be used for a
handover. This patch fixes this by copying the missing fields.
As this change to early_serial_setup() doesn't need an initialized
spinlock in the uart_port struct any longer, we can drop the spinlock
initialization in the superio driver.

Impact: reduce scope of debug check - avoid warnings
The logic to find whether identity map exists or not using
high_memory or max_low_pfn_mapped/max_pfn_mapped are not complete
as the memory withing the range may not be mapped if there is a
unusable hole in e820.
Specifically, on my test system I started seeing these warnings with
tools like hwinfo, acpidump trying to map ACPI region.
We can add logic to check for this. But, there can also be other holes in
identity map when we have 1GB of aligned reserved space in e820.
This patch handles it by removing the WARN_ON and returning a specific
error value (EFAULT) to indicate that the address does not have any
identity mapping.
The code that tries to keep identity map in sync can ignore
this error, with other callers of cpa still getting error here.
x86 PAT: return compatible mapping to remap_pfn_range callers
Impact: avoid warning message, potentially solve 3D performance regression
Change x86 PAT code to return compatible memtype if the exact memtype that
was requested in remap_pfn_rage and friends is not available due to some
conflict.
This is done by returning the compatible type in pgprot parameter of
track_pfn_vma_new(), and the caller uses that memtype for page table.
Note that track_pfn_vma_copy() which is basically called during fork gets the
prot from existing page table and should not have any conflict. Hence we use
strict memtype check there and do not allow compatible memtypes.
x86 PAT: change track_pfn_vma_new to take pgprot_t pointer param
Impact: cleanup
Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer.
Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible
memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts.
No fuctionality change in this patch.
x86 PAT: consolidate old memtype new memtype check into a function
Impact: cleanup
Move the new memtype old memtype allowed check to header so that is can be
shared by other users. Subsequent patch uses this in pat.c in remap_pfn_range()
code path. No functionality change in this patch.

The PowerMac kernel occasionally fails to bring up the secondary CPUs on
SMP, the trigger factor seem to be fairly random and related to location
of code and data.
This appears to be due to the initial loading of the TOC value by the
secondary processor which now happens before we clear HID4:RM_CI (Real
Mode Cache Invalidate). This bit should really be cleared before we do
any load or store other than fetching code.
This fix works based on the assumption that all SMP 64-bit PowerMacs use
variants of the 970, which fortunately is true, by explicitely clearing
that bit, adding an slbia for good measure as RM_CI mode is known to
create bogus ERAT entries.

mistake while at it.

as it will be written directly on kexec load.
Also, default to the previous KDUMP_KERNELBASE if the start is 0.
Other architectures (x86, ia64) state that specifying the start address
0 (or omitting it) will result in the kernel allocating it. Before the
relocatable patch in 2.6.28, powerpc would adjust any other start value
to the hardcoded KDUMP_KERNELBASE of 32M.
