[PATCH] Zone reclaim: Allow modification of zone reclaim behavior

In some situations one may want zone_reclaim to behave differently.  For

to cache the writes if many pages in a zone become dirty.  This may impact the
performance of processes running on other nodes.

Allowing writes during reclaim puts a stop to that behavior and throttles the
process by restricting the pages to the local zone.

Similarly one may want to contain processes to local memory by enabling
regular swap behavior during zone_reclaim.  Off node memory allocation can
then be controlled through memory policies and cpusets.

[PATCH] fuse: fix async read for legacy filesystems

While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if
the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may
degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can
confuse it's own readahead logic).

With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured.

There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous
reads are supported by the kernel or not.

To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be
used and the maximum readahead value.  Update interface version to 7.6

If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and
set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous
versions.

[PATCH] CONFIG_ISA does not make sense for CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES

Older pSeries systems with serial ports dont get any console output after
recent changes.  CONFIG_ISA does not make sense for CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES
because it enables lots of old drivers.  Instead, remove the dependency on
CONFIG_ISA from the serial port discovery code.

Error checking is scattered through various layers of the dlpar code,
leading to a somewhat opaque code structure. This patch consolidates
error checking in one routine, simplifying the code a tad. There's
also some whitespace cleanup here too.
