Because dma_alloc_coherent() always required DMA zone even if DMA is
NOT necessary, FUJITA Tomonori posted a patch to fix it:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ia64&m=123314730923356&w=2
However, this fix needs one more patch to fix completely.
I tested and confirmed dma_alloc_coherent() returns
correct zone after applied following patch.

Move DMA-mapping.txt to Documentation/PCI/.
DMA-mapping.txt was supposed to be moved from Documentation/ to
Documentation/PCI/. The 00-INDEX files in those two directories
were updated, along with a few other text files, but the file
itself somehow escaped being moved, so move it and update more
text files and source files with its new location.

dma_mapping_error is used to see if dma_map_single and dma_map_page
succeed. IA64 VT-d dma_mapping_error always says that dma_map_single
is successful even though it could fail. Note that X86 VT-d works
properly in this regard.
This patch fixes IA64 VT-d dma_mapping_error by adding VT-d's own
dma_mapping_error() that works for both X86_64 and IA64. VT-d uses
zero as an error dma address so VT-d's dma_mapping_error returns 1 if
a passed dma address is zero (as x86's VT-d dma_mapping_error does
now).

Before the dma ops unification, IA64 always uses GFP_DMA for
dma_alloc_coherent like:
#define dma_alloc_coherent(dev, size, handle, gfp) \
platform_dma_alloc_coherent(dev, size, handle, (gfp) | GFP_DMA)
This GFP_DMA enforcement doesn't make sense for IOMMUs since they can
do address translation to give addresses that devices can access
to. The IOMMU drivers ignore the zone flag. However, this is still
necessary for swiotlb since it can't do address translation.
We don't always need to use GFP_DMA for swiotlb. We need GFP_DMA for
devices incapable of 64bit DMA.
This patch is sorta updated version of:

sched_clock() on ia64 is based on ar.itc, so is never
completely synchronized between cpus. On some platforms
(e.g. certain models of SGI Altix) it may be running at

just for SN2 && GENERIC kernels ... it is needed for

Impact: fix build errors
Since the SPARSE IRQS changes redefined how the kstat irqs are
organized, arch's must use the new accessor function:
kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu(irq, DESC);
If CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS is set, then DESC is a pointer to the
irq_desc which has a pointer to the kstat_irqs. If not, then
the .irqs field of struct kernel_stat is used instead.

IA64 dynamic ftrace support.
The original _mcount stub for each function is like:
alloc r40=ar.pfs,12,8,0
mov r43=r0;;
mov r42=b0
mov r41=r1
nop.i 0x0
br.call.sptk.many b0 = _mcount;;
The patch convert it to below for nop:
[MII] nop.m 0x0
mov r3=ip
nop.i 0x0
[MLX] nop.m 0x0
nop.x 0x0;;
This isn't completely nop, as there is one instuction 'mov r3=ip', but
it should be light and harmless for code follow it.
And below is for call
[MII] nop.m 0x0
mov r3=ip
nop.i 0x0
[MLX] nop.m 0x0
brl.many .;;
In this way, only one instruction is changed to convert code between nop
and call. This should meet dyn-ftrace's requirement.
But this requires CPU support brl instruction, so dyn-ftrace isn't
supported for old Itanium system. Assume there are quite few such old
system running.

On some boxes there exist both RSDT and XSDT table. But unfortunately
sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used:
a. 32/64X address mismatch
b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch
In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that
RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

Impact: Section fix
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x596d2): Section mismatch in
reference from the function swiotlb_dma_init() to the function
.init.text:swiotlb_init()
The function swiotlb_dma_init() references
the function __init swiotlb_init().
This is often because swiotlb_dma_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of swiotlb_init is wrong.
