14e40f644b leds: Add LED driver for the Soekris net5501 board
It is based on the previously submitted code by Alessandro Zummo, but is
changed to use the new GPIO driver with 2.6.33, and the driver has been
moved to drivers/leds where it belongs.

The commit 45c79433c0 got things building
but then commit 17d2f877ae8b68b09bf88a9949ee64fbbda5ee10 and others
where merged in from a seperate tree and this has resulted from a build
failure due to the redefinition of IRQ_EINT().

Fix this by merging a new commit.

5fae405838 ARM: S5P: Fix the platform external interrupt issues.
This patch does the following:

1. Corrects the common platform code for external interrupts for using the
   VIC mask/unmask bits also.
2. Moves the common defines related to external interrupt for plat-s5p
   to common files.
3. Based on the new common defines, corresponding changes are made in the
   affected platforms (S5P6440, S5P6442 and S5PC100).

4845e44ffd Btrfs: rework O_DIRECT enospc handling
This changes O_DIRECT write code to mark extents as delalloc
while it is processing them.  Yan Zheng has reworked the
enospc accounting based on tracking delalloc extents and
this makes it much easier to track enospc in the O_DIRECT code.

There are a few space cases with the O_DIRECT code though,
it only sets the EXTENT_DELALLOC bits, instead of doing
EXTENT_DELALLOC | EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_UPTODATE, because
we don't want to mess with clearing the dirty and uptodate
bits when things go wrong.  This is important because there
are no pages in the page cache, so any extent state structs
that we put in the tree won't get freed by releasepage.  We have
to clear them ourselves as the DIO ends.

With this commit, we reserve space at in btrfs_file_aio_write,
and then as each btrfs_direct_IO call progresses it sets
EXTENT_DELALLOC on the range.

btrfs_get_blocks_direct is responsible for clearing the delalloc
at the same time it drops the extent lock.

218ce73514 Revert "module: drop the lock while waiting for module to complete initialization."
This reverts commit 480b02df3a, since
Rafael reports that it causes occasional kernel paging request faults in
load_module().

Dropping the module lock and re-taking it deep in the call-chain is
definitely not the right thing to do.  That just turns the mutex from a
lock into a "random non-locking data structure" that doesn't actually
protect what it's supposed to protect.

e7ecd43569 libata: disable ATAPI AN by default
There are ATAPI devices which raise AN when hit by commands issued by
open().  This leads to infinite loop of AN -> MEDIA_CHANGE uevent ->
udev open() to check media -> AN.

Both ACS and SerialATA standards don't define in which case ATAPI
devices are supposed to raise or not raise AN.  They both list media
insertion event as a possible use case for ATAPI ANs but there is no
clear description of what constitutes such events.  As such, it seems
a bit too naive to export ANs directly to userland as MEDIA_CHANGE
events without further verification (which should behave similarly to
windows as it apparently is the only thing that some hardware vendors
are testing against).

This patch adds libata.atapi_an module parameter and disables ATAPI AN
by default for now.

9a7780c9ac libata-sff: make BMDMA optional
Make BMDMA optional depending on new config variable CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA.
In Kconfig, drivers are grouped into five groups - non-SFF native, SFF
w/ custom DMA interface, SFF w/ BMDMA, PIO-only SFF, and generic
fallback / legacy ones.  Kconfig and Makefile are reorganized
according to the groups and ordered alphabetically inside each group.

ata_ioports.bmdma_addr and ata_port.bmdma_prd[_dma] are put into
CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA, as are all bmdma related ops, variables and
functions.

This increase the binary size slightly when BMDMA is enabled but on
both native-only and PIO-only configurations the size is slightly
reduced.  Either way, the size difference is insignificant.  This
change is more meaningful to signify the separation between SFF and
BMDMA and as a tool to verify the separation.

a75f5f0f0a alpha: simplify and optimize sched_find_first_bit
Search only the first 100 bits instead of 140, saving a couple
instructions. The resulting code is about 1/3 faster (40K ticks/1000
iterations down to 30K ticks/1000 iterations).

1cb3d8e2c8 alpha: invoke oom-killer from page fault
As explained in commit 1c0fe6e3bd, we want to call the architecture
independent oom killer when getting an unexplained OOM from
handle_mm_fault, rather than simply killing current.

9ce34c8f44 Convert alpha to use clocksources instead of arch_gettimeoffset
Alpha has a tsc like rpcc counter that it uses to manage time.
This can be converted to an actual clocksource instead of utilizing
the arch_gettimeoffset method that is really only there for legacy
systems with no continuous counter.

Further cleanups could be made if alpha converted to the clockevent
model.

578454ff7e driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading
This adds:
  alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.

Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.

The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
  $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
  # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
  microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
  fuse fuse c10:229
  ppp_generic ppp c108:0
  tun net/tun c10:200
  dm_mod mapper/control c10:235

Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
  $ /sbin/udevd --debug
  ...
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
  static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
  udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
  udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666

A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.

Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.

This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

3014420b6b ieee1394: schedule for removal
All application domains that are supported by the old ieee1394 driver
stack are supported by the newer firewire driver stack too.  There is
now good and extensive experience with the newer stack from deployment
in Fedora since F7 as well as by enthusiast users of other
distributions.

The new drivers have consequently been recommended as the default ones
since 2.6.33, in order to fix some severe usability problems of FireWire
on Linux due to limitations of the old stack.  It is now high time to
announce when the obsolete drivers will be removed.
