6f255425ac ath9k: enable ANI to help with noisy environments
This enables Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) on ath9k.
ANI is as algorithm designed to minimize the detrimental
effects of time-varying interferences. This should
help with throughput in noisy environments. To use
ANI we re-enable the MIB interrupt. Since ANI works
on a timer and updates the noise floor we take
advantage of this and also report a non-static noise
floor now to mac80211.

a477e4e6d4 ath9k: fix oops on trying to hold the wrong spinlock
We were trying to hold the wrong spinlock due to a typo
on IEEE80211_BAR_CTL_TID_S's definition. We use this to
compute the tid number and then hold this this tid number's
spinlock.

e683b42300 atmel-mci: Initialize BLKR before sending data transfer command
The atmel-mci driver sometimes fails data transfers like this:

   mmcblk0: error -5 transferring data
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749769
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749777

It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which
contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being
initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so
that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is
sent.

This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay
(mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command()
and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch,
while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.

146b6df6a5 svcrdma: Modify the RPC recv path to use FRMR when available
RPCRDMA requests that specify a read-list are fetched with RDMA_READ. Using
an FRMR to map the data sink improves NFSRDMA security on transports that
place the RDMA_READ data sink LKEY on the wire because the valid lifetime
of the MR is only the duration of the RDMA_READ. The LKEY is invalidated
when the last RDMA_READ WR completes.

Mapping the data sink also allows for very large amounts to data to be
fetched with a single WR, so if the client is also using FRMR, the entire
RPC read-list can be fetched with a single WR.

e85ceae910 kgdb, x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI
Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest,
I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test.
Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I
noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via
DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first
invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.

e84956f92a x86 ACPI: Blacklist two HP machines with buggy BIOSes
There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius).  As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.

Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as
a regression from 2.6.26.

On my box it was caused by:

and the whole story is described in this (huge) thread:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121358440508410&w=4

Matthew Garrett told us about that happening on the nx6125:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121396307411930&w=4

and then Maciej analysed the breakage on the basis of a DSDT from the
nx6325:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121401068718826&w=4

As far as the Dmitry's and Jason's boxes are concerned, I recognized the
symptoms and asked them to verify that the blacklisting helped.

It appears that the buggy BIOS code has been copy-pasted to the entire
range of machines, for no good reason.

ca55f46e13 atmel-mci: Don't overwrite error bits when NOTBUSY is set
After a data error, we wait for the NOTBUSY bit to be set so that we can
be sure the data transfer is completely finished. However, when NOTBUSY
is set, the interrupt handler copies the contents of SR into
data_status, overwriting any error bits we may have detected earlier.

To avoid this, initialize data_status to 0 before starting a request, and
don't overwrite it unless it still contains 0.

65e8b083fc atmel-mci: Add experimental DMA support
This adds support for DMA transfers through the generic DMA engine
framework with the DMA slave extensions.

The driver has been tested using mmc-block and ext3fs on several SD,
SDHC and MMC+ cards. Reads and writes work fine, with read transfer
rates up to 7.5 MiB/s on fast cards with debugging disabled.

Unfortunately, the driver has been known to lock up from time to time
with DMA enabled, so DMA support is currently optional and marked
EXPERIMENTAL. However, I didn't see any problems while testing 13
different cards (MMC, SD and SDHC of different brands and sizes), so I
suspect the "Initialize BLKR before sending data transfer command" fix
that was posted earlier fixed this as well.
