commit 55c171a6d90dc0574021f9c836127cfd1a7d2e30 upstream.

Running under a kvm host does not necessarily imply the presence of
a page mapped above the main memory with the virtio information;
however, the code includes a hard coded access to that page.

Instead, check for the presence of the page and exit gracefully
before we hit an addressing exception if it does not exist.

virtio network device multiqueue support reserves
vq 3 for future use (useful both for future extensions and to make it
pretty - this way receive vqs have even and transmit - odd numbers).
Make it possible to skip initialization for
specific vq numbers by specifying NULL for name.
Document this usage as well as (existing) NULL callback.

Drivers using this not coded up yet, so I simply tested
with virtio-pci and verified that this patch does
not break existing drivers.

<content type='text'>
Instead of storing the queue index in transport-specific virtio structs,
this patch moves them to vring_virtqueue and introduces an helper to get
the value.  This lets drivers simplify their management and tracing of
virtqueues.

Pull KVM updates from Avi Kivity:
 "Highlights include
  - full big real mode emulation on pre-Westmere Intel hosts (can be
    disabled with emulate_invalid_guest_state=0)
  - relatively small ppc and s390 updates
  - PCID/INVPCID support in guests
  - EOI avoidance; 3.6 guests should perform better on 3.6 hosts on
    interrupt intensive workloads)
  - Lockless write faults during live migration
  - EPT accessed/dirty bits support for new Intel processors"

Fix up conflicts in:
 - Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt:

   Stupid subchapter numbering, added next to each other.

 - arch/powerpc/kvm/booke_interrupts.S:

   PPC asm changes clashing with the KVM fixes

 - arch/s390/include/asm/sigp.h, arch/s390/kvm/sigp.c:

   Duplicated commits through the kvm tree and the s390 tree, with
   subsequent edits in the KVM tree.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

For processing under KVM it is required to detect
the actual SCLP console type in order to set it as

<title>[S390] irq: external interrupt code passing</title>

The external interrupt handlers have a parameter called ext_int_code.
Besides the name this paramter does not only contain the ext_int_code
but in addition also the "cpu address" (POP) which caused the external
interrupt.
To make the code a bit more obvious pass a struct instead so the called
function can easily distinguish between external interrupt code and
cpu address. The cpu address field however is named "subcode" since
some external interrupt sources do not pass a cpu address but a
different parameter (or none at all).

<title>virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7b21e34fd1c272e3a8c3846168f2f6287a4cd72b</id>
<content type='text'>
We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones.  That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).

Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci.  In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.

By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

Add a new .bus_name to virtio_config_ops then modify virtio_net to
call through to it in an ethtool .get_drvinfo routine to report
bus_info in ethtool -i output which is consistent with other
emulated NICs and the output of lspci.
