Allwinner late changes for 4.2

A bunch of defconfig changes, and some patches to make the Allwinner H3 and
A33 boot properly.

Except for the preempt notifiers fix, these are all small bugfixes
that could have been waited for -rc2.  Sending them now since I
was taking care of Peter's patch anyway.

This is the 3.14.47 stable release

This is the 3.10.83 stable release

- dsi improvements (Gaurav)
- bxt ddi dpll hw state readout (Imre)
- chv dvfs support and overall wm improvements for both vlv and chv (Ville)
- ppgtt polish from Mika and Michel
- cdclk support for bxt (Bob Pauwe)
- make frontbuffer tracking more precise
- OLR removal (John Harrison)
- per-ctx WA batch buffer support (Arun Siluvery)
- remvoe KMS Kconfig option (Chris)
- more hpd handling refactoring from Jani
- use atomic states throughout modeset code and integrate with atomic plane
  update (Maarten)

IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.2-rc0

Four fixes have queued up to fix regressions introduced after v4.1:

	* Don't fail IOMMU driver initialization when the add_device
	  call-back returns -ENODEV, as that just means that the device
	  is not translated by the IOMMU. This is pretty common on ARM.

	* Two fixes for the ARM-SMMU driver for a wrong feature check
	  and to remove a redundant NULL check.

	* A fix for the AMD IOMMU driver to fix a boot panic on systems
	  where the BIOS requests Unity Mappings in the IVRS table.

This is the 4.1.1 stable release

This is the 4.0.7 stable release

This is the 3.14.46 stable release

This is the 3.10.82 stable release

Linux 3.18.17

media updates for v4.2-rc1

The bulk of the changes here is for x86.  And for once it's not
for silicon that no one owns: these are really new features for
everyone.

* ARM: several features are in progress but missed the 4.2 deadline.
So here is just a smattering of bug fixes, plus enabling the VFIO
integration.

* s390: Some fixes/refactorings/optimizations, plus support for
2GB pages.

* x86: 1) host and guest support for marking kvmclock as a stable
scheduler clock. 2) support for write combining. 3) support for
system management mode, needed for secure boot in guests. 4) a bunch
of cleanups required for 2+3.  5) support for virtualized performance
counters on AMD; 6) legacy PCI device assignment is deprecated and
defaults to "n" in Kconfig; VFIO replaces it.  On top of this there are
also bug fixes and eager FPU context loading for FPU-heavy guests.

* Common code: Support for multiple address spaces; for now it is
used only for x86 SMM but the s390 folks also have plans.

There are some x86 conflicts, one with the rc8 pull request and
the rest with Ingo's FPU rework.

IOMMU Updates for Linux v4.2

This time with bigger changes than usual:

	* A new IOMMU driver for the ARM SMMUv3. This IOMMU is pretty
	  different from SMMUv1 and v2 in that it is configured through
	  in-memory structures and not through the MMIO register region.
	  The ARM SMMUv3 also supports IO demand paging for PCI devices
	  with PRI/PASID capabilities, but this is not implemented in
	  the driver yet.

	* Lots of cleanups and device-tree support for the Exynos IOMMU
	  driver. This is part of the effort to bring Exynos DRM support
	  upstream.

	* Introduction of default domains into the IOMMU core code. The
	  rationale behind this is to move functionalily out of the
	  IOMMU drivers to common code to get to a unified behavior
	  between different drivers.
	  The patches here introduce a default domain for iommu-groups
	  (isolation groups). A device will now always be attached to a
	  domain, either the default domain or another domain handled by
	  the device driver. The IOMMU drivers have to be modified to
	  make use of that feature. So long the AMD IOMMU driver is
	  converted, with others to follow.

	* Patches for the Intel VT-d drvier to fix DMAR faults that
	  happen when a kdump kernel boots. When the kdump kernel boots
	  it re-initializes the IOMMU hardware, which destroys all
	  mappings from the crashed kernel. As this happens before
	  the endpoint devices are re-initialized, any in-flight DMA
	  causes a DMAR fault. These faults cause PCI master aborts,
	  which some devices can't handle properly and go into an
	  undefined state, so that the device driver in the kdump kernel
	  fails to initialize them and the dump fails.
	  This is now fixed by copying over the mapping structures (only
	  context tables and interrupt remapping tables) from the old
	  kernel and keep the old mappings in place until the device
	  driver of the new kernel takes over. This emulates the the
	  behavior without an IOMMU to the best degree possible.

	* A couple of other small fixes and cleanups.
