Subject: [PATCH] x86: UV BAU distribution and payload MMRs


From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@....com>

This patch correctly sets BAU memory mapped registers to point
to the sending activation descriptor table and target payload table.

The "Broadcast Assist Unit" is used for TLB shootdown in UV.

The memory mapped registers that point to sending and receiving
memory structures contain node numbers.
In one case the __pa() function did not provide the node id of
memory on blade zero in configurations where that id is nonzero.
In another case, it was assumed that memory was allocated on
the local node.  That assumption is not true in a configuration
in which the node has no memory.

Tested on the UV hardware simulator.

Diffed against 2.6.29
