staging: Add Snappy compression library (v3)

Google's Snappy data compression library is a faster alternative to LZO,
optimized for x86-64. On compressible input it compresses ~2.5x faster than LZO
and decompresses ~1.5-2x faster than LZO. On incompressible input, it skips the
input at 100x faster than LZO and decompresses ~4x faster than LZO.
It is released under BSD license.
This is a kernel port from user space C++ code.
The current intended use is with zram (see next patch in series).

backport: smp: patches from mainline 3.5 to hopefully help with hotplug Thomas Gleixner's generic-idle patches:

smp: Add task_struct argument to __cpu_up()
Preparatory patch to make the idle thread allocation for secondary
cpus generic.

smp: Add generic smpboot facility
Start a new file, which will hold SMP and CPU hotplug related generic
infrastructure.

smp: Provide generic idle thread allocation
All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it
for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic
infrastructure for it.
Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the
generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via
__cpu_up().
Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this
guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user
space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all
possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs
interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of
the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

lib/lzo: Update LZO compression to current upstream version

This commit updates the kernel LZO code to the current upsteam version
which features a significant speed improvement - benchmarking the Calgary
and Silesia test corpora typically shows a doubled performance in
both compression and decompression on modern i386/x86_64/powerpc machines.

sched: LOAD_FREQ (4*HZ+122) avoids loadavg Moire

From http://ripke.com/loadavg/moire but corrected for 200HZ.
AIO: Don't plug the I/O queue in do_io_submit()

Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels. By removing the plug from do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.

ARM: decompressor: Enable unaligned memory access for v6 and above

Modern GCC can generate code which makes use of the CPU's native
unaligned memory access capabilities.  This is useful for the C
decompressor implementations used for unpacking compressed kernels.

This patch disables alignment faults and enables the v6 unaligned
access model on CPUs which support these features (i.e., v6 and
later), allowing full unaligned access support for C code in the
decompressor.

The decompressor C code must not be built to assume that unaligned
access works if support for v5 or older platforms is included in
the kernel.

For correct code generation, C decompressor code must always use
the get_unaligned and put_unaligned accessors when dealing with
unaligned pointers, regardless of this patch.
