dbf8eefa2b [POWERPC] spufs: don't yield CPU in spu_yield
There is no reason to yield the CPU in spu_yield - if the backing
thread reenters spu_run it gets added to the end of the runqueue for
it's priority.  So the yield is just a slowdown for the case where
we have higher priority contexts waiting.

28066ae91b [POWERPC] CBE thermal support on PS3
I wanted to enable CBE_THERM on PS3.  So I had to enable CBE_RAS first.

But the resulting kernel doesn't link, as cbe_regs.c isn't compiled for
non-PPC_CELL_NATIVE.

CBE_RAS should depend on PPC_CELL_NATIVE; this makes it so.

3af82a8b00 [POWERPC] Clean up zImage handling of the command line
This cleans up how the zImage code manipulates the kernel
command line.  Notable improvements from the old handling:
	- Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new
prep_cmdline() function, rather than being scattered across start()
and some helper functions
	- Less stack space use: we use just a single global command
line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before,
we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack.
	- Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a
commandline, but not a device tree.  Platform code can now point new
loader_info fields to the firmware's command line, rather than having
to do early manipulation of the /chosen bootargs property which may
then be rewritten again by the core.

27fbaa9702 [POWERPC] Add device tree utility functions to zImage
This patch adds a library of useful device tree manipulation functions
to the zImage library, for use by platform code.  These functions are
based on the hooks already in dt_ops, so they're not dependent on a
particular device tree implementation.  This patch also slightly
streamlines the code in main.c using these new functions.

This is a consolidation of my work in this area with Scott Wood's
patches to a very similar end.

569975591c [POWERPC] DMA 4GB boundary protection
There are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4 GB
boundary.  For instance, the latest Emulex adapters.

This normally is not an issue as firmware gives dma-windows under
4gigs.  However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above
4gigs, and this present a problem.

During initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB
boundary is marked as used.  Thus no mappings can cross the boundary.
If a table ends at a 4GB boundary, the entry is not marked as used.

A boot option to remove this 4GB protection is given w/ protect4gb=off.
This exposes the potential issue for driver and hardware development
purposes.

2f3a2efd85 [SPARC64]: Fix SBUS IOMMU allocation code.
There are several IOMMU allocator bugs.  Instead of trying to fix this
overly complicated code, just mirror the PCI IOMMU arena allocator
which is very stable and well stress tested.

I tried to make the code as identical as possible so we can switch
sun4u PCI and SBUS over to a common piece of IOMMU code.  All that
will be need are two callbacks, one to do a full IOMMU flush and one
to do a streaming buffer flush.

This patch gets rid of a lot of hangs and mysterious crashes on SBUS
sparc64 systems, at least for me.

61e8b858ab EHCI: fix remote wakeup regression in 2.6.21-rc
There is one significant difference between the behavior of root hubs
(as embodied in host controller hardware) and external hubs: When a
remote-wakeup signal is received, an external hub sends an interrupt
message at the _end_ of the resume sequence but a root hub generates
and interrupt at the _beginning_ of the resume sequence.  The host
system must poll for the end of the sequence.

When ehci-hcd was converted to interrupt-driven operation instead of
using polling, the remaining need for this particular poll was
overlooked.  This patch (as894) fixes the problem.

46386b5870 HID: introduce proper zeroing of unused bits in output reports
Some HID devices are looking on the unused bits in the HID reports they
receive. This is violating the specification, but we want to make those
devices work. Well-behaving devices are unaffected, as they don't care
about the unused bits.

If bitsused % 8 is 0 all bits in data[] get used and we don't need to
clear anything. Otherwise (bitsused % 8) bits of the last byte get used.
By shifting 1 for (bitsused % 8) bits and subtracting 1 we create a mask
consisting of (bitsused % 8) ones and remaining zeroes. By ANDing we
clear the upper unused bits.

5e2a55f25d USB HID: fix retry & reset logic
The USB HID driver fails to reset its error-retry timeout when there
has been a long time interval between I/O errors with no successful URB
completions in the meantime.  As a result, the very next error would
trigger an immediate reset, even if it was a chance event occurring
long after the previous error.

More USB keyboards and mice than one might expect end up getting I/O
errors. Almost always this results from hardware problems of one sort of
another. For example, people attach the device to a USB extension cable,
which degrades the signal.  Or they simply have poor quality cables to
begin with. Or they use a KVM switch which doesn't handle USB messages
correctly. Etc...

There have been reports from several users in which these I/O
errors would occur more or less randomly, at intervals ranging from
seconds to minutes.  The error-handling code in hid-core.c was originally
meant for situations where a single outage would persist for a few hundred
ms (electromagnetic interference, for example).  It didn't work right when
these more sporadic errors occurred, because of a flaw in the logic
which this patch fixes.

This patch (as873) fixes that oversight.
