[IPV6]: Fix race in ipv6_flowlabel_opt() when inserting two labels
In the IPV6_FL_A_GET case the hash is checked for flowlabels
with the given label. If it is not found, the lock, protecting
the hash, is dropped to be re-get for writing. After this a
newly allocated entry is inserted, but no checks are performed
to catch a classical SMP race, when the conflicting label may
be inserted on another cpu.
Use the (currently unused) return value from fl_intern() to
return the conflicting entry (if found) and re-check, whether
we can reuse it (IPV6_FL_F_EXCL) or return -EEXISTS.
Also add the comment, about why not re-lookup the current

9p: attach-per-user
The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.
Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.
This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):
- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
only with the 9P2000.u dialect.
- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
to access it will get EPERM error.
- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.

A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.
Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.
A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.
Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.

Such output is gained with some ugly if (!nl) printk("\n"); code and
besides being a waste of lines, this is also annoying to read. The
following output looks better (and it is how it looks on x86_64):

x86: call cache_add_dev() from cache_sysfs_init() explicitly
Call cache_add_dev() from cache_sysfs_init() explicitly, instead of
referencing the CPU notifier callback directly from generic startup
code. Looks cleaner (to me at least) this way, and also makes it
possible to use other tricks to replace __cpuinit{data} annotations, as
recently discussed on this list.
