The function is #if 0ed out. There are no other occurrences of its
name in the tree. It is safe to remove.

The userspace runtime linker uses the elf_platform to find the libraries
optimized for the current CPU archecture variant. First we need to allow it
to be set to something other than NULL. Follow-on patches will set some
values for specific CPUs.
GLIBC already does the right thing. The kernel just needs to supply good
data.

Although the hardware supports a 4/8bit SD interface and the driver
unconditionally advertises all hardware caps to the MMC core, not all
datalines may actually be wired up. This patch introduces another
field to au1xmmc platform data allowing platforms to disable certain
advanced host controller features.

AR7 has a larger physical offset than other MIPS based systems and therefore
needs to setup its handlers beyond the usual KSEG0 range. When running the
kernel in mapped mode this modification is also required. Remove function
comment which is now incorrect.

I believe these changes are needed on Alchemy SoCs in order to
use iomem above 4G with the usual platform_device machinery:
- Set CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT to make resource_size_t 64-bit.
- Increase IOMEM_RESOURCE_END so that platforms can register resources.

In the old source code, I have let halt and poweroff do the same action,
but in reality, they have different meanings.
As the manpage of shutdown shows:
-r Reboot after shutdown.
-H Halt action is to halt or drop into boot monitor on systems that support it.
-P Halt action is to turn off the power.
and in the real world, some machines(e.g. NAS) did not provide a power
button and the shutdown works as reset, so, we need to provide a
mechanism to let the users turn off the power safely without breaking
the system, such a mechanism is "halt", which only put the system into a
dead loop or a power-save mode and print some information to the screen
to tell the users to turn off the power safely.
$ shutdown -hH now /* loongson_halt, not turn off the power */
$ shutdown -hP now /* loongson_poweroff, work as poweroff */

The function probe_tlb() only does anything for processors that are
not PRID_COMP_LEGACY. This is precisely the set of processors for
which decode_configs() is called to do identical tlbsize probing
calculations. Therefore probe_tlb() is completely redundant and may
be removed.

MIPS currently lacks the readl_be and writel_be accessors
which are required by BCM63xx for OHCI and EHCI support.
Let's define them globally for MIPS. This also fixes the
compilation of the bcm63xx defconfig against USB.

The compressed kernel support on loongson family machines is stable now,

Lemote have used the PMON_VER strings to indicate the loongson-2f
machine series:
PMON_VER=LM8089 Lemote 8.9'' netbook
LM8101 Lemote 10.1'' netbook
(The above two netbooks have the same kernel support)
LM6XXX Lemote FuLoong(2F) box series
LM9XXX Lemote LynLoong PC series
Before the machtype is supported by the PMON, we can get the machine
type from the PMON_VER for these machines, this will help the users a
lot.

Convert the driver to be a reasonably well behaved NAPI citizen.
There is one NAPI instance per CPU shared between all input ports. As
receive backlog increases, NAPI is scheduled on additional CPUs.
Receive buffer refill code factored out so it can also be called from
the periodic timer. This is needed to recover from temporary buffer
starvation conditions.

After aligning the blocks returned by kmalloc, we need to save the original
pointer so they can be correctly freed.
There are no guarantees about the alignment of SKB data, so we need to
handle worst case alignment.
Since right shifts over subtraction have no distributive property, we need
to fix the back pointer calculation.

If an interrupt handler disables interrupts, the EOI function will
just reenable them. This will put us in an endless loop when the
upcoming Ethernet driver patches are applied.
Only reenable the interrupt on EOI if it is not IRQ_DISABLED. This
requires that the EOI function be separate from the ENABLE function.
We also rename the ACK functions to correspond with their function.

In order to achieve correct synchronization semantics, the Octeon port
had defined CONFIG_WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC. This resulted in code
that looks like:
sync
ll ...
.
.
.
sc ...
.
.
sync
The second SYNC was redundant, but harmless.
Octeon has a SYNCW instruction that acts as a write-memory-barrier
(due to an erratum in some parts two SYNCW are used). It is much
faster than SYNC because it imposes ordering on the writes, but
doesn't otherwise stall the execution pipeline. On Octeon, SYNC
stalls execution until all preceeding writes are committed to the
coherent memory system.
Using:
syncw;syncw
ll
.
.
.
sc
.
.
Has identical semantics to the first sequence, but is much faster.
The SYNCW orders the writes, and the SC will not complete successfully
until the write is committed to the coherent memory system. So at the
end all preceeding writes have been committed. Since Octeon does not
do speculative reads, this functions as a full barrier.
The patch removes CONFIG_WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC, and substitutes
SYNCW for SYNC in write-memory-barriers.

Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro
smp_mb__before_llsc(). It is used before ll/sc sequences that are
documented as needing write barrier semantics.
The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(),
so there are no changes in semantics.
Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just
barrier() in the non-SMP case.
