Use the dma_flags_set_dmabarrier() interface to allow a "dmabarrier"

On Altix, DMA may be reordered between a device and host memory.
This reordering can happen in the NUMA interconnect, and it usually
results in correct operation and improved performance. In some
situations it may be necessary to explicitly synchronize DMA from

This patch removes some ARRAY_SIZE macro duplicates. There is also one in
arch/um/include/user.h, which isn't fixed here because comments in that file
explicitly state a preference for the 'less fancy' version. If that's the
case as well for any of the other replacements please comment.

Unfortunately, the workaround for the Geode breaks this system, because
x86-64 doesn't fall back to the e801/88
In periodic broadcast mode the next_event member of the broadcast device
structure is set to KTIME_MAX in the interrupt handler. This is wrong,
as we calculate the next periodic interrupt with this variable.
Remove it.
Noticed by Ralf. MIPS is the first user of this mode, it does not affect

It worked today, it turned out to be a UML bug. Real hardware seemed to
work properly, but will test a bit more tomorrow.

Kernel 2.6.23-rc8-mm2 on a AMD-64, filesystems mounted are reiserfs,
reiser4 and tmpfs.
netconsole dmesg output and .config are included below.
Near the end of my boot sequence, there is a kernel error. I am not
sure exactly what user-space is doing to make this happen, but I know

Hello,
A big thanks to everybody who read and replied to my first e-mail; I
have tried my best to incorporate your feedback and suggestions. I
also added some CCs who recently participated in logging-related

The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the
code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight. This problem is
notable especially when the system scans through many unfreeable pages,
causing unnecessary stalls in the VM.
