Currently arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c always adds __GFP_NORETRY
to the allocation flags, because it wants to be reasonably
sure not to deadlock when calling alloc_pages().
But really that should only be done in two cases:
- when allocating memory in the lower 16 MB DMA zone.
If there's no free memory there, waiting or OOM killing is of no use
- when optimistically trying an allocation in the DMA32 zone
when dma_mask < DMA_32BIT_MASK hoping that the allocation
happens to fall within the limits of the dma_mask
Also blindly adding __GFP_NORETRY to the the gfp variable might
not be a good idea since we then also use it when calling
dma_ops->alloc_coherent(). Clearing it might also not be a
good idea, dma_alloc_coherent()'s caller might have set it
on purpose. The gfp variable should not be clobbered.

This BIOS claims the VIA 8237 south bridge to be compatible with VIA 586,
which it is not.
Without this patch, I get the following warning while booting,
among others,

Now that's an VIA 8237 chip, so pirq_via586_get shouldn't be called
at all; adding this workaround to via_router_probe() fixes the
problem for me.
Amazingly I have a 2.6.23.8 kernel that somehow works fine ... I'll

Greetings.
There is a code flaw in the bfsort whitelist, where there are redundant
entries for the same two HP systems, DL385 G2 and DL585 G2. This patch
replaces those redundant entries with the correct ones. The correct
entries are for large-volume systems, the DL360 and DL380.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
commit ec69f0374c3b0ad7ea991b0e9ac00377acfe5b1a
Author: Tony Camuso <tony.camuso@hp.com>
Date: Wed May 14 07:09:28 2008 -0400
Replace Redundant Whitelist Entries with the Correct Ones
The ProLiant DL585 G2 and the DL585 G2 are entered reundantly
in the dmi_system_id table. What should have been there are the
DL360 and DL380. This patch simply replaces the redundant
entries with the correct entries.

Because the IPsec output function xfrm_output_resume does its
own dst_output call it should always call __ip_local_output
instead of ip_local_output as the latter may invoke dst_output
directly. Otherwise the return values from nf_hook and dst_output
may clash as they both use the value 1 but for different purposes.
When that clash occurs this can cause a packet to be used after
it has been freed which usually leads to a crash. Because the
offending value is only returned from dst_output with qdiscs
such as HTB, this bug is normally not visible.
Thanks to Marco Berizzi for his perseverance in tracking this
down.

1) Remove an explicit memset(.., 0, ...) to a variable allocated with
kzalloc (i.e. 'dest').
2) Allocate 'src' with kmalloc instead of kzalloc as all elements of the
'src' buffer are initialized in a 'for(...)' loop just after.
3) remove useless 'sizeof(u8)', which always returns 1, when computing the
size of the memory to be allocated.
