Enlarge default dirty ratios from 5/10 to 10/20. This fixes [Bug
#12809] iozone regression with 2.6.29-rc6.
The iozone benchmarks are performed on a 1200M file, with 8GB ram.
iozone -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -i 3 -i 4 -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls
iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls
The performance regression is triggered by commit 1cf6e7d83bf3(mm: task
dirty accounting fix), which makes more correct/thorough dirty
accounting.
The default 5/10 dirty ratios were picked (a) with the old dirty logic
and (b) largely at random and (c) designed to be aggressive. In
particular, that (a) means that having fixed some of the dirty
accounting, maybe the real bug is now that it was always too aggressive,
just hidden by an accounting issue.
The enlarged 10/20 dirty ratios are just about enough to fix the regression.
[ We will have to look at how this affects the old fsync() latency issue,
but that probably will need independent work. - Linus ]

A number of standard posix types are used in exported headers, which
is not allowed if __STRICT_KERNEL_NAMES is defined. In order to
get rid of the non-__STRICT_KERNEL_NAMES part and to make sane headers
the default, we have to change them all to safe types.
There are also still some leftovers in reiserfs_fs.h, elfcore.h
and coda.h, but these files have not compiled in user space for
a long time.
This leaves out the various integer types ({u_,u,}int{8,16,32,64}_t),
which we take care of separately.

In fact, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids. So use that instead of NR_CPUS in various
places (I also updated the immediate sites to use the new cpumask_
operators).
This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

The lowcore clock comparator save area on 64 bit machines is defined to
contain only the seven most significant bits of the register.
That's also why it starts at an uneven address (0x1331).
The current code however writes eight bytes to the address and
therefore overwrites the first byte of the access register save area.
Fix this and write only seven bytes to the save area.

The old dfp detection wanted to check bit 43 (dfp high performance), but due
to a wrong calculation always used to check bit 42. Additionally the
"userspace expectation" is, that the dfp capability bit is set is if facility
bit 42 (decimal floating point facility available) and bit 44 (perform floating
point operation facility avail).
The patch fixes the bit calculation and extends the check to work like:
