Tejun Heo 9ac7849e35 devres: device resource management
Implement device resource management, in short, devres.  A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function.  On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.

devreses are typed by associated release functions.  Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function.  Both usages are
supported.

devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).

This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.

* alloc/free	: devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region	: devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ		: devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA		: dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
		  dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
		  dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI		: pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap		: devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
		  devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
		  pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()

menu "Generic Driver Options"
config STANDALONE
bool "Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware" if EXPERIMENTAL
default y
help
Select this option if you don't have magic firmware for drivers that
need it.
If unsure, say Y.
config PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD
bool "Prevent firmware from being built"
default y
help
Say yes to avoid building firmware. Firmware is usually shipped
with the driver, and only when updating the firmware a rebuild
should be made.
If unsure say Y here.
config FW_LOADER
tristate "Userspace firmware loading support"
depends on HOTPLUG
---help---
This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree modules
require userspace firmware loading support, but a module built outside
the kernel tree does.
config DEBUG_DRIVER
bool "Driver Core verbose debug messages"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Say Y here if you want the Driver core to produce a bunch of
debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
problem with the driver core and want to see more of what is
going on.
If you are unsure about this, say N here.
config DEBUG_DEVRES
bool "Managed device resources verbose debug messages"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
This option enables kernel parameter devres.log. If set to
non-zero, devres debug messages are printed. Select this if
you are having a problem with devres or want to debug
resource management for a managed device. devres.log can be
switched on and off from sysfs node.
If you are unsure about this, Say N here.
