Add rcu_read_lock_sched() and rcu_read_unlock_sched() to rcupdate.h to match the
recently added write-side call_rcu_sched() and rcu_barrier_sched(). They also
match the no-so-recently-added synchronize_sched().
It will help following matching use of the update/read lock primitives. Those
new read lock will replace preempt_disable()/enable() used in pair with
RCU-classic synchronization.

As per the dma_unmap_* calls, we don't touch the cache when a DMA
buffer transitions from device to CPU ownership. Presently, no
problems have been identified with speculative cache prefetching
which in itself is a new feature in later architectures. We may
have to revisit the DMA API later for these architectures anyway.

In case of error, the function kthread_create returns an ERR pointer,
but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes before an
IS_ERR test should be deleted.

Back in prehistoric (pre-git!) days, the kernel's MSI-X support did
request_mem_region() on a device's MSI-X tables, which meant that a
driver that enabled MSI-X couldn't use pci_request_regions() (since
that would clash with the PCI layer's MSI-X request).
However, that was removed (by me!) years ago, so mthca can just use
pci_request_regions() and pci_release_regions() instead of its own
much more complicated code that avoids requesting the MSI-X tables.

I tracked down the shutdown regression to CPUs not dying
when being shut down during power-off. This turns out to
be due to the system_state being SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, which
this code doesn't take as a valid state for shutting off
CPUs in.
This has never made sense to me, but when I added hotplug
code to implement hibernate I only "made it work" and did
not question the need to check the system_state. Thomas
Gleixner helped me dig, but the only thing we found is
that it was added with the original commit that added CPU
hotplug support.

The PCI bridge on the Holly board is incorrectly represented in the
device tree. The current device tree node for the PCI bridge sits
under the tsi-bridge node. That's not obviously wrong, but the PCI
bridge translates some PCI spaces into CPU address ranges which were
not translated by the "ranges" property in tsi-bridge node.
We used to get away with this problem because the PCI bridge discovery
code was also buggy, assuming incorrectly that PCI host bridge nodes
were always directly under the root bus and treating the translated
addresses as raw CPU addresses, rather than parent bus addresses.
This has since been fixed, thus breaking Holly.
This could be fixed by adding extra translations to the tsi-bridge
node, but this patch instead moves the Holly PCI bridge out of the
tsi-bridge node to the root bus. This makes the tsi-bridge node
represent only the built-in IO devices in the bridge, with a
more-or-less contiguous address range. This is the same convention
used on Freescale SoC chips, where the "soc" node represents only the
IMMR region, and the PCI and other bus bridges are separate nodes
under the root bus.

do_probe_callback uses a static callback program
(NFS4_CALLBACK) rather than the one set in clp->cl_callback.cb_prog
as passed in by the client in setclientid (4.0)
or create_session (4.1).

Now that cb_stats are static (since commit
ff7d9756b5)
there's no need to clear them.
Initially I thought it might make sense to do
that every callback probing but since the stats
are per-program and they are shared between possibly
several client callback instances, zeroing them out
seems like the wrong thing to do.
Note that that commit also introduced a bug
since stats.program is also being cleared in the process
and it is not restored after the memset as it used to be.
