Add support for the DMA blocks in the S3C64XX series of CPUS,
which are based on the ARM PL080 PrimeCell system.
Unfortunately, these DMA controllers diverge from the PL080
design by adding another DMA controller register and
configuration for OneNAND.

The dma.h header does not need to include <mach/hardware.h> as there
is nothing it depends on. Remove the include and fixup the couple of
places where <mach/map.h> was not explicitly included (dragged in
via <mach/hardware.h>)
Note, we have to fix arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/pm.c which seems to rely
on having <mach/hardware.h> included by this method.

calls
The S3C24XX DMA API channel configuration registers are being passed
values comprised of register values which makes it hard to move the
API to cover both the S3C24XX and S3C64XX.
These values can be calculated from knowing which device the channel
is connected to, so remove them from the two calls s3c2410_dma_config
and s3c2410_dma_devconfig.

A regression was introduced in hg changeset 33810c734a0d, which resulted in
a kernel panic whenever the device was disconnected from USB. The call to
4l2_device_register() was overwriting the pointer for usb_set_intfdata(), so
when au0828_usb_disconnect() was called, the usb_get_intfdata() returned a
pointer to the v4l2_device instead of the au0828_dev structure.

Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after
base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire,
usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use
generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because
during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct
i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is
initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem.
The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see
what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media
has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday
as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it
would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be
much bigger of a change, I think.

After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've
had some problems when probing e100. It would not read the eeprom. After
some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least
2.6.18). The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that
suspend does and puts the device in D3 state. I couldn't find a way to
get the device back to a sane state in the probe function. So, based on
some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe,
I wrote this one for e100.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

Commit edada399 broke the build on 64-bit powerpc because it moved the
__ftr_alt_* sections of a file away from the .text section, causing
link failures due to relative conditional branch targets being too far
away from the branch instructions. This happens on pretty much all
64-bit powerpc configs.

hd dance around local irq and HD_IRQ enable without achieving much.
It ends up transferring data from irq handler with both local irq and
HD_IRQ disabled. The only place it actually does something is while
transferring the first block of a request which it does with HD_IRQ
disabled but local irq enabled.
Unfortunately, the dancing is horribly broken from locking POV. IRQ
and timeout handlers access block queue without grabbing the queue
lock and running the driver in SMP configuration crashes the whole
machine pretty quickly.
Remove meaningless irq enable/disable dancing and add proper locking
in issue, irq and timeout paths.

Default voltage constraints were being provided for fixed voltage
regulator where board constraints were not provided but these constraints
used INT_MIN as the default minimum voltage which is not a valid value
since it is less than zero. Use 1uV instead.
Also set the default values we set in the constraints themselves since
otherwise the max_uV constraint we determine will not be stored in the
actual constraint strucutre and will therefore not be used.

During regulator registration, any error after device_register() will
cause a double-free on the struct regulator_dev 'rdev'. The bug is in
drivers/regulator/core.c:regulator_register():
...
scrub:
device_unregister(&rdev->dev);
clean:
kfree(rdev); <---
rdev = ERR_PTR(ret);
goto out;
...
device_unregister() calls regulator_dev_release() which frees rdev. The
subsequent kfree corrupts memory and causes some OMAP3 systems to oops on
boot in regulator_get().
Applies against 2.6.30-rc3.

The Bluetooth 2.1 specification introduced four different security modes
that can be mapped using Legacy Pairing and Simple Pairing. With the
usage of Simple Pairing it is required that all connections (except
the ones for SDP) are encrypted. So even the low security requirement
mandates an encrypted connection when using Simple Pairing. When using
Legacy Pairing (for Bluetooth 2.0 devices and older) this is not required
since it causes interoperability issues.
To support this properly the low security requirement translates into
different host controller transactions depending if Simple Pairing is
supported or not. However in case of Simple Pairing the command to
switch on encryption after a successful authentication is not triggered
for the low security mode. This patch fixes this and actually makes
the logic to differentiate between Simple Pairing and Legacy Pairing
a lot simpler.

The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL
links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be
terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing
when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point
no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within
10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem
since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections
for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks
that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the
support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure
needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing
When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference
counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible
since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken
Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to
deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be
introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is
triggered.
If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the
worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds
instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and
broken devices now.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit

epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

A non-SMP version of smp_send_stop() is now included in smp.h.
Remove the unneeded definition in the PS3 smp.c.
Fixes build errors like these when CONFIG_SMP=n:
arch/powerpc/platforms/ps3/setup.c:49: error: redefinition of 'smp_send_stop'
include/linux/smp.h:125: error: previous definition of 'smp_send_stop' was here
