This patch prevents a race between IO and removing a file from sysfs.
It introduces a list of sysfs_buffers associated with a file at the inode.
Upon removal of a file the list is walked and the buffers marked orphaned.
IO to orphaned buffers fails with -ENODEV. The driver can safely free
associated data structures or be unloaded.

Don't stop on the first ->probe error that is not -ENODEV/-ENXIO.
There might be a driver registered returning an unresonable return code, and
this stops probing completely even though it may make sense to try the next
possible driver. At worst, we may end up with an unbound device.

If we allow NULL as the new parent in device_move(), we need to make sure
that the device is placed into the same place as it would if it was
newly registered:
- Consider the device virtual tree. In order to be able to reuse code,
setup_parent() has been tweaked a bit.
- kobject_move() can fall back to the kset's kobject.
- sysfs_move_dir() uses the sysfs root dir as fallback.

Fix the key serial number collision avoidance code in key_alloc_serial().
This didn't use to be so much of a problem as the key serial numbers were
allocated from a simple incremental counter, and it would have to go through
two billion keys before it could possibly encounter a collision. However, now
that random numbers are used instead, collisions are much more likely.
This is fixed by finding a hole in the rbtree where the next unused serial
number ought to be and using that by going almost back to the top of the
insertion routine and redoing the insertion with the new serial number rather
than trying to be clever and attempting to work out the insertion point
pointer directly.
This fixes kernel BZ #7727.

The problem was introduced in 2.6.18.3 with the casting of some
36bit-defines (PCI memory) in au1000.h to resource_size_t which may be
u32 or u64 depending on the experimental CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT.
With unset CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT, the pci-memory cannot be accessed
because the ioremap in arch/mips/au1000/common/pci.c already used the
truncated addresses.
With set CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT, things get even worse, because PCI-scan
aborts, due to resource conflict: request_resource() in arch/mips/pci/pci.c
fails because the maximum iomem-address is 0xffffffff (32bit) but the
pci-memory-start-address is 0x440000000 (36bit).
To get pci working again, I propose the following patch:
1. remove the resource_size_t-casting from au1000.h again
2. make the casting in arch/mips/au1000/common/pci.c (it's allowed and
necessary here. The 36bit-handling will be done in __fixup_bigphys_addr).
With this patch pci works again like in 2.6.18.2, the gcc-compile warnings
in pci.c are gone and it doesn't depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.
