PCI host bridge setup for SNI RM machines with PCI is quite broken, now
that Linux does it's resource setup own its own. It will use IO addresses,
which are needed by the EISA config detection and assigns PCI memory
addresses, which overlap with ISA legacy addresses (video ram). Below
is a patch, which changes the way how the PCI memory addresses are
used and sets the minimum IO address to give enough IO space for
8 EISA slots). This patch needs the other PCI resource change, I've
posted.

PCI based SNI RM machines have their EISA bus behind an Intel PCI/EISA
bridge. So the PCI IO range must start at 0x0000. Changing that will
break the PCI bus, because i8259.c already has registered it's IO
addresses before the PCI bus gets initialized. Below is a patch,
which will register the PCI host bridge resources inside
register_pci_controller(). It also changes i8259.c to use insert_region(),
because request_resource() will fail, if the IO space of the PIT hanging
of the PCI host bridge (maybe passing the resource parent to
init_i8259_irqs() is a cleaner fix for that).

This patch adds trivial support for SMARTMIPS extension. This extension
is currently implemented by 4KS[CD] CPUs.
Basically it saves/restores ACX register, which is part of the SMARTMIPS
ASE, when needed. This patch does *not* add any support for Smartmips MMU
features.
Futhermore this patch does not add explicit support for 4KS[CD] CPUs since
they are respectively mips32 and mips32r2 compliant. So with the current
processor configuration, a platform that has such CPUs needs to select
both configs:
CPU_HAS_SMARTMIPS
SYS_HAS_CPU_MIPS32_R[12]
This is due to the processor configuration which is mixing up all the
architecture variants and the processor types.
The drawback of this, is that we currently pass '-march=mips32' option to
gcc when building a kernel instead of '-march=4ksc' for 4KSC case. This
can lead to a kernel image a little bit bigger than required.

From the 01408c4939 log message:
The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.

This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
