   ia64: Fix/finish kernel module table support so it actually works.

   [PATCH] ia64: fix critical perfmon2 bugs
   
   This patch fixes the following issues:
   
   - fix a nasty corner case by which a task could inherit psr.pp/psr.up
     that could be stale by the time it runs. psr.pp/psr.up bits must be
     cleared on fork and inherited on execve(). Test case provided by
     John Levon.
   
   - mask interrupts when locking the pfm stat structure. We don't want
     to take PMU interrupts in the middle of this kind of critical
     section.
   
   - fix a bug in pfm_close() for context which use asynchronous
     notifications.  You cannot call fasync_helper() with interrupts
     disabled because it reenables them. There was no real danger of
     moving the call outside our critical section.
   
   - fix a bug in in pfm_flush_pmds() where you can leave the freeze bit
     set in the pmc saved state.
   
   - updated dump_pmu_state()
   
   - cleanup the BUG_ON() usage

   [PATCH] ia64: fix broken __emul_prefix
   
   his seems to be broken for ia32 on ia64 and possibly other emulation
   architectures as well. The problem comes from
   fs/namei.c:set_fs_altroot() using path_lookup() instead of a
   path_walk() relative to "/" (which is the case for 2.4).

   ia64: Sync with Linus' i386 patch: Revert bogus IRQ_INPROGRESS clear.

<bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> (03/10/23 1.1360)
   [PATCH] ia64: prevent "dd if=/dev/mem" crash
   
   The drivers/char/mem.c change was accepted, so here's the
   ia64-specific part.

<ianw@gelato.unsw.edu.au> (03/10/22 1.1359)
   [PATCH] ia64: fix gate-data.S build for binutils 2.14
   
   gas will match anything with a prefix
   '.data.' as a data special section.  Thus to stop unnecessary warning
   about changing attributes, we use the .data section standard
   attributes aw when creating gate-data.o.
