Linux 2.6.0-test8

More changes than I would have liked, but most of them are fairly small. 
The most noticeable changes:

 - fix the /proc/PID/stat oops that multiple people reported
 - workaround for Athlon prefetch bug (occasional spurious page faults)
 - fix serverworks PIO autotuning
 - fix some cpufrequency calculations
 - make NFS O_DIRECT work

The rest are some architecture and driver updates, mostly stuff that
people had queued up and convinced me I wanted to merge before freezing
down totally. 

I've flamed a number of people who flaunted the freeze (I cursed a lot
more than I usually do ;), and they won't have any excuse to do so for
test9.  So expect the patches to shrink considerably in the coming
weeks.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
  o add insert_resource() helper function
  o Fix call to Open Firmware "map" call, parameters were flipped
    causing the coff image to randomly fail
  o coff images bootloader reserves more memory for the kernel, allow
    booting
  o Export mol_trampoline and mmu_hash_lock for MOL (missing from a
    previous cset)

  o The POWER4 support merged previously was incomplete, add the
    missing bits so that the kernel boots at least on POWER4 and G5
    CPUs
  o Fix RAMDAC detection on some IMS TwinTurbo video cards ("Mac" cards
    only), without this, you get no display on machines with those
    cards
  o Move definition of TimeBase registers from reg_booke.h to reg.h,
    those registers exist on common CPUs and without those definitions,
    SMP won't build
  o Fix timebase hardware sync on SMP PowerMacs (both oldworld dual
    604s and core99 dual G4s).

    work properly with HZ != 100, causing tb_to_us to be wrong and
    gettimeofday() to return strangely "off" results
  o Fix a crash on sleep in the OF platform core where we would use a
    NULL "driver" pointer and actually try to call it after casting it!
  o Fix repeat delays in adbhit, they didn't make the transition to
    jiffies based values to ms. This fix crazy key repeat on ADB based
    PowerMacs

Bjorn Helgaas:
  o [SERIAL] ACPI serial fix

David Gibson:
  o [NET]: Fix initialization sequence in SunGEM driver

David Mosberger:
  o ia64: Patch by Jesse Barnes
  o ia64: Fix __delay() to do The Right Thing.  In practice, this may
    cause BogoMIPS to drop to half the clock-speed with current
    versions of GCC, but this just shows that GCC doesn't generate very
    good code for single-cycle loops.  Perhaps it will motivate someone
    to improve GCC in this area (though it's hardly of practical value,
    other than for producing large BogoMIPS values).
  o ia64: Fix __delay() even more: it's just not safe to inline the
    delay- loop because, e.g., the compiler might decide to unroll the
    loop when passed a constant, etc.
  o ia64: Important security fix for fsyscalls.  Without this patch,
    the McKinley E9 workaround caused fsyscalls to return with the
    wrong privilege level.

    driver
