Current seeky detection is based on average seek lenght.
This is suboptimal, since the average will not distinguish between:
* a process doing medium sized seeks
* a process doing some sequential requests interleaved with larger seeks
and even a medium seek can take lot of time, if the requested sector
happens to be behind the disk head in the rotation (50% probability).
Therefore, we change the seeky queue detection to work as follows:
* each request can be classified as sequential if it is very close to
the current head position, i.e. it is likely in the disk cache (disks
usually read more data than requested, and put it in cache for
subsequent reads). Otherwise, the request is classified as seeky.
* an history window of the last 32 requests is kept, storing the
classification result.
* A queue is marked as seeky if more than 1/8 of the last 32 requests
were seeky.
This patch fixes a regression reported by Yanmin, on mmap 64k random
reads.

The bug is in virtio-pci: we use msix_vector as array index to get irq
entry, but some vqs do not have a dedicated vector so this causes an out
of bounds access. By chance, we seem to often get 0 value, which
results in this error.
Fix by verifying that vector is legal before using it as index.

The asus-laptop driver implements a number of interfaces like the
backlight class driver. This change makes it easier to examine the
implementation of one interface at at a time, without having to search
through the file to find init() and exit() functions etc.

(Changelog stolen from Alan's patch for eeepc-laptop, but this patch
does the same thing for asus-laptop)
Callback methods should not refer to a variable like "asus" (formally
"hotk"). Instead, they should extract the data they need either from
a "driver data" parameter, or the "driver data" field of the object
which they operate on. The "asus" variable can then be removed.
In practice, drivers under "drivers/platform" can get away without using
driver data, because it doesn't make sense to have more than one
instance of them. However this makes it harder to review them for
correctness. This is especially true for core ACPI developers who have
not previously been exposed to this anti-pattern :-).
This will serve as an example of best practice for new driver writers
(whether they find it themselves, or have it pointed out during review
:-).

asus-laptop now does a lot more than just hotkeys. Replace the "hotk"
names used throughout the driver with some slightly more appropriate
names. The actual strings used in kernel messages and sysfs are left
unchanged.

Fix up trivial conflicts in kernel/sched.c
Before we mark the wireless device as unplugged, check PCI config space
to see whether the wireless device is really disabled (and vice versa).
This works around newer models which don't want the hotplug code, where
we end up disabling the wired network device.
My old 701 still works correctly with this. I can also simulate an
afflicted model by changing the hardcoded PCI bus/slot number in the
driver, and it seems to work nicely (although it is a bit noisy).
In future this type of hotplug support will be implemented by the PCI
core. The existing blacklist and the new warning message will be
removed at that point.
