UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC
check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if
the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable.
Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s
to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.

Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates.
UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by
reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located
consecutively in the same LEB.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to
19 MiB/s.

This patch against tip/x86/iommu virtually reverts
2842e5bf31. But just reverting the
commit breaks AMD IOMMU so this patch also includes some fixes.
The above commit adds new two options to x86 IOMMU generic kernel boot
options, fullflush and nofullflush. But such change that affects all
the IOMMUs needs more discussion (all IOMMU parties need the chance to
discuss it):

Currently, rfkill would stand in the way of properly supporting wireless
devices that are capable of waking the system up from sleep or hibernation
when they receive a special wireless message. It would also get in the way
of mesh devices that need to remain operational even during platform
suspend.
To avoid that, stop trying to block the transmitters on the rfkill class
suspend handler.
Drivers that need rfkill's older behaviour will have to implement it by
themselves in their own suspend handling.
Do note that rfkill *will* attempt to restore the transmitter state on
resume in any situation. This happens after the driver's resume method is
called by the suspend core (class devices resume after the devices they are
attached to have been resumed).
The following drivers need to check if they need to explicitly block
their transmitters in their own suspend handlers (maintainers Cc'd):

This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:
* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel
We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.
Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.
Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.
For more information see:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.

This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue
architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue. By doing
this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware
queue.
This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place
the traffic onto. It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the
subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.

Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k. This
change:
- Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to
prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel. Things
like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however.
- Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.
- Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on
memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero. Currently it's called in the
x86 fault handler, and the powermanagement debug output.
