[TG3] Fix link failure in 5701

On some 5701 devices with older bootcode, the LED configuration bits in
SRAM may be invalid with value zero. The fix is to check for invalid
bits (0) and default to PHY 1 mode. Incorrect LED mode will lead to

The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a
large number of devices.  The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired
via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e.  interrupt
context, which can lead to a deadlock.  Replace tasklet with work queue.

[PATCH] s390: uml ptrace fixes

To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little
changes:

1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to
   change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this
   compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390
   itself.

2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall,
   read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of
   UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host
   does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be
   done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception
   (orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used
   as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only.
   Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and
   its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace.
   So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed
   to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

[PATCH] s390: ptrace peek and poke

The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not
handled correctly.  A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the
access registers in the thread_info structure.  That happens to be the kernel
stack pointer.  A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the
validity check.  On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a
program check in the kernel.  Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes
this.
