[PATCH] hvc_console: Rearrange code

Milton Miller has done a lot of work to clean up our hvc_console code.

One of the important things the following patch series does is separate the
VIO layer from the hvc_console code.  With the VIO specific code removed any
ppc64 platform, or even any architecture, can use hvc_console as a generic
polling console.  You simply have to supply a get_chars and put_chars method
and hvc_console does the rest of the work.  You can even use it for an
interrupt driven console.

This patch:

Rearrange the code in drivers/char/hvc_console.c to make future patches
smaller.  No actual code changes, just ordering of the functions in the file.

dug it out of obscurity just over a week ago, and almost immediately
another conflicting patch appeared (Bob Picco's memory-less nodes).

I've resolved the conflicts and got it running again.  CONFIG_SGI_TIOCX
is set to "y" in defconfig, which causes a Tiger to not boot (oops in
tiocx_init).  But that can be resolved later ... get this in now before it
gets stale again.

19 years ago[PATCH] yet another fix for setup-bus.c/x86 merge

[PATCH] yet another fix for setup-bus.c/x86 merge

There is a slight disagreement between setup-bus.c code and traditional
x86 PCI setup wrt which recourses are invalid vs resources that are free
for further allocations.

In particular, in the setup-bus.c, if we failed to allocate some resource,
we nullify "start" and "flags" fields, but *not* the "end" one.

But x86 pcibios_enable_resources() does the following check:

if (!r->start && r->end) {
printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: Device %s not available because of resource collisions\n", pci_name(dev));
return -EINVAL;

which means that the device owning the offending resource cannot be
enabled.

In particular, this breaks cardbus behind the normal decode p2p bridge -
the cardbus code from setup-bus.c requests rather large IO and MEM
windows, and if it fails, the socket is completely unavailable.  Which
is wrong, as the yenta code is capable to allocate smaller windows.

[IA64] memory-less-nodes repost

I reworked how nodes with only CPUs are treated.  The patch below seems
simpler to me and has eliminated the complicated routine
reassign_cpu_only_nodes.  There isn't any longer the requirement
to modify ACPI NUMA information which was in large part the
complexity introduced in reassign_cpu_only_nodes.

This patch will produce a different number of nodes. For example,
reassign_cpu_only_nodes would reduce two CPUonly nodes and one memory node
configuration to one memory+CPUs node configuration.  This patch
doesn't change the number of nodes which means the user will see three.  Two
nodes without memory and one node with all the memory.

While doing this patch, I noticed that early_nr_phys_cpus_node isn't serving
any useful purpose.  It is called once in find_pernode_space but the value
isn't used to computer pernode space.
