Since the correct timeout value varies, use a heuristic which adjusts
the timeout depending on how many packets we've seen. This gives
slightly worse results, but doesn't need tweaking when GSO is
introduced.

virtio_ring has the ability to suppress notifications. This prevents
a guest exit for every packet, but we need to set a timer on packet
receipt to re-check if there were any remaining packets.
Here are the times for 1G TCP Guest->Host with different timeout
settings (it matters because the TCP window doesn't grow big enough to
fill the entire buffer):
Timeout value Seconds Xmit/Recv/Timeout
None (before) 25.3784 xmit 7750233 recv 1
2500 usec 62.5119 xmit 207020 recv 2 timeout 207020
1000 usec 34.5379 xmit 207003 recv 2 timeout 207003
750 usec 29.2305 xmit 207002 recv 1 timeout 207002

100 usec 19.2583 xmit 561621 recv 1 timeout 560153
(Note that these values are sensitive to the GSO patches which come
later, and probably other traffic-related variables, so take with a
large grain of salt).

If you've got a nice DHCP configuration which maps MAC
addresses to specific IP addresses, then you're going to
want to start your guest with one of those MAC addresses.
Also, in Fedora, we have persistent network interface naming
based on the MAC address, so with randomly assigned
addresses you're soon going to hit eth13. Who knows what
will happen then!
Allow assigning a MAC address to the network interface with
e.g.
--tunnet=bridge:eth0:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D
or:
--tunnet=192.168.121.1:00:FF:95:6B:DA:3D
which is pretty unintelligable, but ...

Ron Minnich noticed that guest userspace gets a GPF when it tries to int3:

an interrupt, so that's the symptom of failing to do this.

Clean up and optimize cpumask_of_cpu(), by sharing all the zero words.
Instead of stupidly generating all possible i=0...NR_CPUS 2^i patterns
creating a huge array of constant bitmasks, realize that the zero words
can be shared.
In other words, on a 64-bit architecture, we only ever need 64 of these
arrays - with a different bit set in one single world (with enough zero
words around it so that we can create any bitmask by just offsetting in
that big array). And then we just put enough zeroes around it that we
can point every single cpumask to be one of those things.
So when we have 4k CPU's, instead of having 4k arrays (of 4k bits each,
with one bit set in each array - 2MB memory total), we have exactly 64
arrays instead, each 8k bits in size (64kB total).
And then we just point cpumask(n) to the right position (which we can
calculate dynamically). Once we have the right arrays, getting
"cpumask(n)" ends up being:
static inline const cpumask_t *get_cpu_mask(unsigned int cpu)
{
const unsigned long *p = cpu_bit_bitmap[1 + cpu % BITS_PER_LONG];
p -= cpu / BITS_PER_LONG;
return (const cpumask_t *)p;
}
This brings other advantages and simplifications as well:
- we are not wasting memory that is just filled with a single bit in
various different places
- we don't need all those games to re-create the arrays in some dense
format, because they're already going to be dense enough.
if we compile a kernel for up to 4k CPU's, "wasting" that 64kB of memory
is a non-issue (especially since by doing this "overlapping" trick we
probably get better cache behaviour anyway).

pm_idle_save resp. pm_idle_old can be NULL when the restore code in
acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() resp. cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler()
is called. This can set pm_idle unconditinally to NULL, which causes the
kernel to panic when calling pm_idle in the x86 idle code. This was
covered by an extra check for !pm_idle in the x86 idle code, which was
removed during the x86 idle code refactoring.
Instead of restoring the pm_idle check in the x86 code prevent the
acpi/cpuidle code to set pm_idle to NULL.

ipwireless: Increase PPP outgoing queue size
Increase default size of PPP outgoing queue. Currently set to 1, which
means that a packet quickly following another pushed by PPP must wait
until hardware actually sends the previous and PPP has to be waken up
by ppp_wakeup(). This slows down upstream.
Now PPP can push more packets at once which get buffered inside driver
and pushed immediatelly to hardware when previous packet is out.
Experiments show that size = 10 is quite good for all connection types
(GPRS/EDGE/UMTS) and gains 4 KB/sec of upload for UMTS for batch uploads.
Need for higher queue size than 10 occures in only < 0.1 % of cases.

Allow the platform data to specify the bus bumber that the
new I2C bus will be given. This is to allow the use of the
board registration mechanism to specify the new style of
I2C device registration which allows boards to provide a
list of attached devices.
Note, as discussed on the mailing list, we have dropped
backwards compatibility of adding an dynamic bus number
as it should not affect most boards to have the bus pinned
to 0 if they have either not specified platform data for
driver. Any board supplying platform data will automatically
have the bus_num field set to 0, and anyone who needs the
driver on a different bus number can supply platform data
to set bus_num.
