4614a3a3b6 Reorder guest saved regs to match hyperall order
Move eax next to ebx/ecx/edx in struct lguest_regs on i386, so they
will be located together and allow it to map directly to a struct
hcall_ring entry (which will be renamed struct hcall_args as in a
subsequent patch).

This is in preparation for making the code hcall code architecture
independent.

This simplifies the code a little, in preparation for allowing
alternate system call vectors in guests (Plan 9 uses 0x40).

48245cc070 Remove fixed limit on number of guests, and lguests array.
Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed
array of them.  This is no longer necessary.

If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is
enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id"
altogether.

3c6b5bfa3c Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcher
In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.

The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.

1f4e1de4f2 Rename switcher.S to x86/switcher_32.S
lguest uses a "switcher" shim mapped high to bounce between host and
guest.  As lguest becomes less i386-centric, we separate this code

34b8867a03 Move lguest guest support to arch/x86.
Lguest has two sides: host support (to launch guests) and guest
support (replacement boot path and paravirt_ops).  This moves the
guest side to arch/x86/lguest where it's closer to related code.

05aa026a62 Clocksource is continuous regardless of the state of the host's TSC.
Currently lguest will spend a lot of of time waking up the host, as it
cannot go tickless (if the [host] TSC has been marked unstable). On my
laptop I was getting ~40% of wakeups from lguest.

With this patch applied, my laptop is much happier!

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher)
currently requires duplication of these structures.  Making them

3650b0a304 ppc: fix AT_VECTOR_SIZE on arch/ppc
Commit 4f9a58d75b ("increase
AT_VECTOR_SIZE to terminate saved_auxv properly") changes the size of
AT_VECTOR_SIZE from hard coded '44' to a calculation based on the value
of AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH and AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE.

The change works for arch/powerpc, but it breaks arch/ppc because the
needed AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH is not present in include/asm-ppc/system.h
and a default value of 0 is used instead.  This results in
AT_VECTOR_SIZE being too small and it causes a kernel crash on loading
init.

d04533650f [MIPS] time: SMP-proofing of Sibyte clockevent/clocksource code.
The BCM148 has 4 cores but there are also just 4 generic timers available
so use the ZBbus cycle counter instead of it.  In addition the ZBbus
counter also offers a much higher resolution and 64-bit counting so I'm
considering a later complete conversion to it once I figure out if all
members of the Sibyte SOC family support it - the docs seem to agree but
the headers files seem to disagree ...

18dabf473e Change table chaining layout
Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:

- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
  at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
  with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
  NULL when passed such an entry.

It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
and set the page member.
