flush_tlb_all() can be a scaling issue on large SGI Altix systems
since it uses the global call_lock and always executes on all cpus.
When a process enters flush_tlb_range() to purge TLBs for another
process, it is possible to avoid flush_tlb_all() and instead allow
sn2_global_tlb_purge() to purge TLBs only where necessary.
This patch modifies flush_tlb_range() so that this case can be handled
by platform TLB purge functions and updates ia64_global_tlb_purge()
accordingly. sn2_global_tlb_purge() now calculates the region register
value from the mm argument introduced with this patch.

Some of the SN code & #defines related to compact nodes & IO discovery
have gotten stale over the years. This patch attempts to clean them up.
Some of the various SN MAX_xxx #defines were also unclear & misused.
The primary changes are:
- use MAX_NUMNODES. This is the generic linux #define for the number
of nodes that are known to the generic kernel. Arrays & loops
for constructs that are 1:1 with linux-defined nodes should
use the linux #define - not an SN equivalent.
- use MAX_COMPACT_NODES for MAX_NUMNODES + NUM_TIOS. This is the
number of nodes in the SSI system. Compact nodes are a hack to
get around the IA64 architectural limit of 256 nodes. Large SGI
systems have more than 256 nodes. When we upgrade to ACPI3.0,
I _hope_ that all nodes will be real nodes that are known to
the generic kernel. That will allow us to delete the notion
of "compact nodes".
- add MAX_NUMALINK_NODES for the total number of nodes that
are in the numalink domain - all partitions.
- simplified (understandable) scan_for_ionodes()
- small amount of cleanup related to cnodes

Clean up of SGI SN partitioning related code.
The SN_SAL_GET_SN_INFO SAL call returns the partition ID, making
the SN_SAL_SYSCTL_PARTITION_GET SAL call redundant. Remove sn_partid
and use sn_partition_id.

Shub2 provides a much improved mechanism for issuing internode
TLB purges. Add code to support the newer mechanism. There is also
some debug code (disabled) that is useful for testing.
Collect statistics on the number, type & duration of TLB purges.
This data will be useful for making future improvements in the algorithms.

This patch is a sparse compile cleanup of shub_mmr.h using both the defconfig
and the sn2_defconfig config files.
The issue with this file was the missing usage of __IA64_UL_CONST wrapper.
This wrapper is defined in include/asm-ia64/types.h and wraps a long
constant definition with UL or with nothing depending on its usage in the
kernel. The missing wrapper caused many sparse compile errors like
warning: constant 0x0x0000000010000380 so big it is long

This patch against ia64-test-2.6.12 is needed for forthcoming
Altix chipsets. It renames geoid_any_t to geoid_common_t and
splits the 8bit 'slab' field into two 4bit fields for 'slab'
and 'slot'. Similar changes in the Altix SAL will retain backward
compatibility for old kernels.

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!
