06a544971f [PATCH] gfp_t: dma-mapping (ia64)
... and related annotations for amd64 - swiotlb code is shared, but
prototypes are not.

281dd25cdc [PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memory
This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.

We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.

The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator.  But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages().  We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.

With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

0b9afede3d [IA64] more robust zx1/sx1000 machvec support
Machine vector selection has always been a bit of a hack given how
early in system boot it needs to be done.  Services like ACPI namespace
are not available and there are non-trivial problems to moving them to
early boot.  However, there's no reason we can't change to a different
machvec later in boot when the services we need are available.  By
adding a entry point for later initialization of the swiotlb, we can add
an error path for the hpzx1 machevec initialization and fall back to the
DIG machine vector if IOMMU hardware isn't found in the system.  Since
ia64 uses 4GB for zone DMA (no ISA support), it's trivial to allocate a
contiguous range from the slab for bounce buffer usage.

e8579e72ca [IA64, X86_64] fix swiotlb sizing
Fix swiotlb sizing to match what the comments and the kernel
parameters documentation indicate.  Given a default 16k page size kernel
(ia64) and a 2k swiotlb page size, we're off by a multiple of 8 trying
to size the swiotlb.  When specified on the boot line, the swiotlb is
made 8x bigger than requested.  When left to the default value, it's 8x
smaller than the comments indicate.  For x86_64 the multiplier would be
2x.  The patch below fixes this.  Now, what's a good default swiotlb
size?  Apparently we don't really need 64MB.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
