61fd47e0c8 ACPI: fix two IRQ8 issues in IOAPIC mode
Use mp_irqs[] to get PNP device's interrupt polarity and trigger.
There are two reasons to do this:
1. BIOS bug for PNP interrupt
2. BIOS explictly does override
mp_irqs[] should cover all the cases.

ddc081a195 cpuidle: fix HP nx6125 regression
Fix for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9355

cpuidle always used to fallback to C2 if there is some bm activity while
entering C3. But, presence of C2 is not always guaranteed. Change cpuidle
algorithm to detect a safe_state to fallback in case of bm_activity and
use that state instead of C2.

Option to init EC early inserted to handle #8598 ASUS problem,

EC driver in this particular case has fake _INI method, not present on

0f2cbd38aa i2c/eeprom: Hide Sony Vaio serial numbers
The sysfs interface to DMI data takes care to not make the system
serial number and UUID world-readable, presumably due to privacy
concerns. For consistency, we should not let the eeprom driver
export these same strings to the world on Sony Vaio laptops.
Instead, only make them readable by root, as we already do for BIOS
passwords.

bd4217d8c6 i2c-dev: Unbound new-style i2c clients aren't busy
Let i2c-dev deal properly with new-style i2c clients. Instead of
considering them always busy, it needs to check wether a driver is
bound to them or not.

This is still not completely correct, as the client could become
busy later, but the same problem already existed before new-style
clients were introduced. We'll want to fix it someday.

907135aaa0 i2c-dev: "how does it work" comments
This adds some "how does this work" comments to the i2c-dev driver,
plus separators between the three main components:

  - The parallel list of i2c_adapters ("i2c_dev_list"), each of which
    gets a "struct i2c_dev" and a /dev/i2c-X character special file.

  - An i2cdev_driver gets adapter add/remove notifications, which are
    used to maintain that list of adapters.

  - Special file operations, which let userspace talk either directly to
    the adapter (for i2c_msg operations) or through cached addressing info
    using an anonymous i2c_client (never registered anywhere).

Plus there's the usual module load/unload record keeping.

After making sense of this code, I think that the anonymous i2c_client
is pretty shady.  But since it's never registered, using this code with
a system set up for "new style" I2C drivers is no more complicated than
always using the I2C_SLAVE_FORCE ioctl (instead of I2C_SLAVE).

279e1dab94 Revert "skge: fix ram buffer size calculation"
This reverts commit 7fb7ac2411.

Heikki Orsila reports that it causes a regression:

  "Doing

	nc host port < /dev/zero

   on a sending machine (not skge) to an skge machine that is receiving:

	nc -l -p port >/dev/null

   with ~60 MiB/s speed, causes the interface go malfunct. A slow
   transfer doesn't cause a problem."

See

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9321

for some more information.

There is a workaround (also reported by Heikki):

  "After some fiddling, I noticed that not changing the register write
   order on patch:

   +       skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);
           skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_WP), start);
           skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_RP), start);
   -       skge_write32(hw, RB_ADDR(q, RB_END), end);

   fixes the visible effect..  Possibly not the root cause of the
   problem, but changing the order back fixes networking here."

but that has yet to be ack'ed or tested more widely, so the whole
problem-causing commit gets reverted until this is resolved properly.

77accbf505 CRISv10 serial driver rewrite
New and improved serial driver for CRISv10, take three, with improvements
suggested by Jiri Slaby.

- Call wait_event_interruptible with a _correct_ and sensible condition.
- Removed superfluous test of info->flags & ASYNC_CLOSING, since that is done
  by wait_event_interruptible.
- Moved common code for deregistering DMA and IRQ to deinit_port function.
- Use setup_timer when initializing flush_timer.
- Convert bit-field for uses_dma_in and uses_dma_out to regular bytes.
- Removed CVS tags.
- Removed defines and comments for CRIS_BUF_SIZE and TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE
  (no longer used).
- Cleaned up code to pass checkpatch.
- Add crisv10.h header file.
- Merge of CRISv10 from Axis internal CVS.

bafef0ae9d cris build fixes: update eth_v10.c ethernet driver
New (updated) version of ethernet driver for cris v10.

- First steps to simplify and make the MII code more similar
  between the etrax100 and etraxfs ports.

- Start the transmit queue before enabling tx interrupts
  to avoid race with the first frame.

- Flip the comparition statement to stick to physical addresses
  to avoid phys_to_virt mapping a potential null pointer.
  This was not an error but the change simplifies debugging
  of address-space mappings.

- Made myPrevRxDesc local to e100_rx since it was only used there.
  Fixed out of memory handling in e100_rx.  If dev_alloc_skb() fails
  persistently the system is hosed anyway but at least it won't
  loop in an interrupt handler.

- Correct some code formatting issues.

- Add defines SET_ETH_ENABLE_LEDS, SET_ETH_DISABLE_LEDS
  and SET_ETH_AUTONEG used in new cris v10 ethernet driver.

579d6d93ca gbefb: fix section mismatch warnings
Make 'default_mode' and 'default_var' be __initdata.
Fixes these section warnings:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x128e0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:default_mode_CRT (between 'default_mode' and 'default_var')
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x128e4): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:default_var_CRT (between 'default_var' and 'dev_attr_size')

5d0360ee96 rd: fix data corruption on memory pressure
We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure.  This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them
dirty all the time.

It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean,
without telling the ramdisk driver.  On memory pressure shrink_zone runs
and it starts to run shrink_active_list.  There is a check for
buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page.  If the mapping has no releasepage
callback, try_to_free_buffers is called.  try_to_free_buffers has now a
special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all
buffers are clean.  Thats what happened in our test case.

The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver.  This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

822bd5aa2b tle62x0 driver stops ignoring read errors
The tle62x0 driver was ignoring all read errors.  This patch makes it
pass such errors up the stack, instead of returning bogus data.

e02f5f52ca serial: only use PNP IRQ if it's valid
"Luming Yu" <luming.yu@gmail.com> says:

  There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause the
  serial port broken.

  It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the
  serial port.  So the value of the IRQ for the port is never changed since it
  got initialized to -1.

If PNP supplies a valid IRQ, use it.  Otherwise, leave port.irq == 0, which
means "no IRQ" to the serial core.

57510c2f93 i5000_edac: no need to __stringify() KBUILD_BASENAME
The i5000_edac driver's PCI registration structure has the name
""i5000_edac"" (with extra set of double-quotes) which is probably not
intentional.  Get rid of __stringify.

9626f1f117 rtc: fall back to requesting only the ports we actually use
Firmware like PNPBIOS or ACPI can report the address space consumed by the
RTC.  The actual space consumed may be less than the size (RTC_IO_EXTENT)
assumed by the RTC driver.

The PNP core doesn't request resources yet, but I'd like to make it do so.
If/when it does, the RTC_IO_EXTENT request may fail, which prevents the RTC
driver from loading.

Since we only use the RTC index and data registers at RTC_PORT(0) and
RTC_PORT(1), we can fall back to requesting just enough space for those.

If the PNP core requests resources, this results in typical I/O port usage
like this:

    0070-0073 : 00:06		<-- PNP device 00:06 responds to 70-73
      0070-0071 : rtc		<-- RTC driver uses only 70-71

instead of the current:

    0070-0077 : rtc		<-- RTC_IO_EXTENT == 8

4c06be10c7 rtc: release correct region in error path
The misc_register() error path always released an I/O port region,
even if the region was memory-mapped (only mips uses memory-mapped RTC,
as far as I can see).
