ppc64 iSeries: Update create_pte_mapping to replace iSeries_bolt_kernel()
early_setup() calls htab_initialize() which is similar, but not identical
to iSeries_bolt_kernel().
On iSeries the Hypervisor has already inserted some ptes for us, and we
simply have to detect that and bolt them. iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert()
implements that logic.
For the case of a non-existing pte we just call iSeries_hpte_insert(). This
appears to work, although it's not entirely equivalent to the old code in
iSeries_make_pte() which panicked if we got a secondary slot. Not sure if
that's important.
Finally we call iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert() from create_pte_mapping(),
which is called from htab_initialize() for each lmb region.

ppc46 iSeries: Make some generic irq code compile for iSeries
In order to call finish_device_tree() on iSeries we need to define

tree on iSeries this code will need some serious work, but it's harmless to
have it there as long as the nodes in the iSeries device tree don't cause

[PATCH] uml: preserve errno in error paths
The poster child for this patch is the third tuntap_user hunk. When an ioctl
fails, it properly closes the opened file descriptor and returns. However,
the close resets errno to 0, and the 'return errno' that follows returns 0
rather than the value that ioctl set. This caused the caller to believe that
the device open succeeded and had opened file descriptor 0, which caused no
end of interesting behavior.
The rest of this patch is a pass through the UML sources looking for places
where errno could be reset before being passed back out. A common culprit is
printk, which could call write, being called before errno is returned.
In some cases, where the code ends up being much smaller, I just deleted the
printk.
There was another case where a caller of run_helper looked at errno after a
failure, rather than the return value of run_helper, which was the errno value
that it wanted.

[PATCH] uml: breakpoint an arbitrary thread
This patch implements a stack trace for a thread, not unlike sysrq-t does.
The advantage to this is that a break point can be placed on showreqs, so that
upon showing the stack, you jump immediately into the debugger. While sysrq-t
does the same thing, sysrq-t shows *all* threads stacks. It also doesn't work
right now. In the future, I thought it might be acceptable to make this show
all pids stacks, but perhaps leaving well enough alone and just using sysrq-t
would be okay. For now, upon receiving the stack command, UML switches
context to that thread, dumps its registers, and then switches context back to
the original thread. Since UML compacts all threads into one of 4 host
threads, this sort of mechanism could be expanded in the future to include
other debugging helpers that sysrq does not cover.
Note by jdike - The main benefit to this is that it brings an arbitrary thread
back into context, where it can be examined by gdb. The fact that it dumps it
stack is secondary. This provides the capability to examine a sleeping
thread, which has existed in tt mode, but not in skas mode until now.
Also, the other threads, that sysrq doesn't cover, can be gdb-ed directly
anyway.

[PATCH] uml: _switch_to code consolidation
This patch moves code that is in both switch_to_tt and switch_to_skas to the
top level _switch_to function, keeping us from duplicating code. It is
required for the stack trace patch to work properly.

When an asynchronous interruption occurs during the execution of the
'critical section' within the generic interruption handling code (entry.S),
a faulty check for a userspace PSW may result in a corrupted kernel stack
pointer which subsequently triggers a stack overflow check.

Got confused with the crypto update. The last patch added a call to
destroy_workqueue() for a non-existent workqueue with the comment "Remove
device workqueue on module unload". This is nonsense. Remove the offending
hunk again.

Also remove the SPX entry in MAINTAINERS, forgot to do that
when I removed it.
