Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:
* SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
full duplex.
This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
transitions with the SPI master.
* SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
each of the 3-wire flavors).
Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC
converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
many host controllers support it today.
The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

There already is a "default-on" trigger but there are problems with it.
For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support
to be compiled in.
But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED. The GPIO is
allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is
turned back on. If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or
action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on
to off to on. While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be
noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems.
One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware
alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch.
Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus
hanging with the LED in the wrong state. This is not just speculation, but
actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which
should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the
incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code.
We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current
state of the GPIO line is. On some systems the LEDs are put into some
state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to
have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux.
This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of
output GPIOs. Some drivers support this and some do not.
The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data
"default_state" that controls this. There are three constants defined to
select from on, off, or keeping the current state. The OpenFirmware
binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on",
"off", or "keep". The default if the property isn't present is off.

LEDs driver for National Semiconductor LP3944 Funlight Chip
http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html
This helper chip can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable DIM
modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes
it is used as a led controller.
The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is
specified supplying two parameters:
- period: from 0s to 1.6s
- duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100
LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb
leds, the camera flash light and the displays backlights.

This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards
requests to userspace for processing.
The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are
located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency,
diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for
communication.
The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk"
and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace
daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to
process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the
cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations
with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible.
(Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror.
They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware
entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are
done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is
done, not the second.)

This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer,
dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated
service time for the incoming I/O.
The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size
by a performance value of each path.
The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table
loading time. If no performance value is given, all paths are
considered equal.

This patch adds a dynamic load balancer, dm-queue-length, which
balances the number of in-flight I/Os across the paths.
The code is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader:

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.
This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.
While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.
[ Impact: allow explicit percpu first chunk allocator selection ]
