    There is an attempt to fix a bad interaction between syscall tracing
    and force_successful_syscall() from Al Viro, but it needs to be redone
    as it introduced regressions and thus had to be reverted for now.

    Al is working on an updated version.

    But what we do have here are some significant bzero/memset
    improvements for Niagara-4. An 8K page can be cleared in around 600
    cycles, because we essentially have a store that behaves like
    powerpc's dcbz that we can actually make real use of.

    Please pull, thanks a lot.
