Drop support for Renesas H8/300 (h8300) architecture

H8/300 has been dead for several years, and the kernel for it has not compiled for ages. Drop support for it. Cc: Yoshinori Sato Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck

block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages

2009-11-26T08:16:19Z

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So, this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this. The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is equal 1 or do nothing otherwise. See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion on LKML for more information. Signed-off-by: Ilya Loginov Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: Peter Horton Cc: "Ed L.

Done as a script (well, a single "git mv" actually) on request from Yoshinori Sato as a way to avoid a huge diff. Requested-by: Yoshinori Sato Cc: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
