Dean Nelson 7682a4c624 [IA64-SGI] Silent data corruption caused by XPC V2.
Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
data corruption.  On module load, the placement may cause the
xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages.  DMA transfers are
done to the start virtual address translated to physical.

This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
kmalloc'd buffer.  Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting.  I have
tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
and verified it works.  I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
this if a similar situation is encountered.

Dean Nelson 246c7e33d5 [IA64-SGI] ensure XPC disengage request is processed
This patch fixes a problem in XPC disengage processing whereby it was not
seeing the request to disengage from a remote partition, so the disengage
wasn't happening. The disengagement is suppose to transpire during the time
a XPC channel is disconnecting, and should be completed before the channel
is declared to be disconnected.

Dean Nelson e54af724c1 [IA64-SGI] fixes for XPC disengage and open/close protocol
This patch addresses a few issues with the open/close protocol that
were revealed by the newly added disengage functionality combined
with more extensive testing.

Jack Steiner 24ee0a6d7b [IA64] Cleanup use of various #defines related to nodes
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

Dean Nelson a607c38971 [IA64-SGI] get XPC to cleanly disengage from remote memory references
When XPC is being shutdown (i.e., rmmod, reboot) it doesn't ensure that
other partitions with whom it was connected have completely disengaged
from any attempt at cross-partition memory references. This can lead to
MCAs in any of these other partitions when the partition is reset.
