XGI framebuffer supports big-endian machines, but it's currently
enabled based on __powerpc__ define (which is wrong, as powerpc can
be also little-endian now). Use __BIG_ENDIAN instead. This will fix
wrong colours on such machines.

This function is an awkward helper for nbu2ss_drv_ep_init(). Most of
its logic is devoted to determining if the current endpoint is ep0,
something the caller can easily do in a single line. And there is not
a lot going on beyond that.
Move this logic up into nbu2ss_drv_ep_init(). The result is much easier
to understand and the resulting function is still viewable within a

The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on

The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.
We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.
It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.
Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.
That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.
In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.
However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.
To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.
This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.
Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.
