3f1934bc1a [S390] qdio: fix section mismatch bug.
Fix the two section mismatch warnings below.
This fixes two real bugs since the code which has __exit annotations
may already be gone when it is called.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.init.text+0x1cc4a): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_QDIO() to the function .exit.text:qdio_setup_exit()
The function __init init_QDIO() references
a function __exit qdio_setup_exit().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
qdio_setup_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.init.text+0x1cc7a): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_QDIO() to the function .exit.text:qdio_remove_perf_stats()
The function __init init_QDIO() references
a function __exit qdio_remove_perf_stats().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
qdio_remove_perf_stats() so it may be used outside an exit section.

934b2857cc [S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.
sclp_sync_wait wait synchronously for an sclp interrupt and disables
timer interrupts. However on the irq enter paths there is an extra
check if a timer interrupt would be due and calls the timer callback.
This would schedule softirqs in the wrong context.
So introduce local_tick_enable/disable which prevents this.

4abb08c24b [S390] dasd: Add support for enhanced VM UID
When z/VM provides two virtual devices (minidisks) that reside on the
same real device, both will receive the configuration data from the
real device and thus get the same uid. To fix this problem, z/VM
provides an additional configuration data record that allows to
distinguish between minidisks.
z/VM APAR VM64273 needs be installed so this fix has an effect.

This series of patches adds a driver for the SGI UV GRU.  The driver is
still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64.
All simple regression tests pass on IA64.  Although features remain to be
added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the
kernel.  Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the
GRU driver.

The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset.  The GRU
contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space.  This memory
is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as
load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc.  The GRU is directly
accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses.  GRU
instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands.

The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to
processor TLBs.  Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual
address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types
of changes are made to the process page tables.  There are several MMUOPS
patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the
kernel.  The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli.

This patch:

Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used
by the driver to manage the GRU.

5cdc98b8f5 rtc-dev: stop periodic interrupts on device release
Solves http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11127

The old rtc.c driver did it and some drivers (like rtc-sh) do it in their
release function, though they should not -- because they should provide
the irq_set_state op and the rtc framework itself should care about it.
This patch makes it do so.

I am aware that some drivers, like rtc-sh, handle userspace PIE sets in
their ioctl op (instead of having the framework call the op), exporting
the irq_set_state op at the same time.  The logic in rtc_irq_set_state
should make sure it doesn't matter and the driver should not need to care
stopping periodic interrupts in its release routine any more.

The correct way, in my opinion, should be this:
1) The driver provides the irq_set_state op and does not care closing the
   interrupts in its release op.
2) If the driver does not provide the op and handles PIE in the ioctl op, it's
   reponsible for closing them in its release op.
3) Something similar for other IRQs, like UIE -- if there's no in-kernel API
   like irq_set_state, handle it in ioctl and release ops. The framework will
   be responsible either for everything or for nothing. (This will probably
   change later.)
