A raw binary boots about twice as fast as SREC.
The possibility to generate SREC binaries remains by simply using the
vmlinux.srec target but seems only useful for the probably hypothetical
case where one of these systems is booted over a serial interface.

- EISA support for non PCI RMs (RM200 and RM400-xxx). The major part
is the splitting of the EISA and onboard ISA of the RM200, which
makes the EISA bus on the RM200 look like on other RMs.
- 64bit kernel support
- system type detection is now common for big and little endian
- moved sniprom code to arch/mips/fw
- added call_o32 function to arch/mips/fw/lib, which uses a private
stack for calling prom functions
- fix problem with ISA interrupts, which makes using PIT clockevent
possible

This patch adds IDs for new Au1200 variants: Au1210 and Au1250.
They are essentially identical to the Au1200 except for the Au1210
which has a different SoC-ID in the PRId register [bits 31:24].
The Au1250 is a "Au1200 V0.2".

make the output harder to read. Many identical symbol names such as

This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds
bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten
assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register
as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li
and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used
explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected,
using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas. This feature is
only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the
workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays
unchanged.
Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder
fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to
reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of
scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).
Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not
possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.
Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the
TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.
These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the
run time.
Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in
a branch delay slot.

This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds. They include
compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications
to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift
instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions.
Changes included are as follows:
1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary.
2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also
incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as
horribly intrusive for little gain).
3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem
is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in
time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might
also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it. On the
other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to
have been initialised (and is there mainly for information).
4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be
queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code
like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers.
5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly.
Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained
by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered
are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards). The -mfix-r4000
and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though.

The struct module taints member is supposed to store per-module taint
data. The kernel knows about certain specific external modules that will
taint the kernel, such as ndiswrapper. Use of ndiswrapper possibly
should set the per-module taint in addition to the global kernel
taint flag, unless we're arguing not because wrapper module itself
is not what actually causes the kernel to be tainted as such?

many module names are longer than this;
#define KOBJ_NAME_LEN 20
another macro is MODULE_NAME_LEN defined in linux/module.h, I think this is
enough for module names:

Current code could cause a bug in symbol_put_addr() if an arch used
kmalloc module text: we might think the symbol belongs to the core

The downside is that this might make backtraces through (discarded)

issue for modules and noone has complained.

While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many
of these (and these timers do add up over all the kernel). The "5
second" wakeup isn't really timing sensitive; in addition even with
rounding it'll still happen every 5 seconds (with the exception of the
very first time, which is likely to be rounded up to somewhere closer
to 6 seconds)
