bfe8df3d31 slow down printk during boot
Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.

Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.

It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

b0c813ceee [ALSA] ASoC CS4270 codec device driver
This patch adds ALSA SoC support for the Cirrus Logic CS4270 codec.  The
following features are suppored:
1) Stand-alone and software mode
2) Software mode via I2C only
3) Master mode, not Slave
4) No power management

eafe570847 [ALSA] ALSA sound driver for the AT73C213 DAC using Atmel SSC driver
This patch adds support for the AT73C213 DAC using the misc Atmel SSC driver in
I2S mode. The driver also requires a SPI to setup the registers and control
volume.
It has been tested with an AT32AP7000 on the ATSTK1000 development board. The
driver should also work with any Atmel device with an SSC module supported by
the Atmel SSC driver (atmel-ssc).
The atmel-ssc driver is just submitted to the Linux kernel. Please see mail

70eb8040dc Add chained sg support to linux/scatterlist.h
The core of the patch - allow the last sg element in a scatterlist
table to point to the start of a new table. We overload the LSB of
the page pointer to indicate whether this is a valid sg entry, or
merely a link to the next list.

Includes a fix from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
correcting the ifdef ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN guarding sg_last().

94886b84b1 sched: guest CPU accounting: maintain stats in account_system_time()
modify account_system_time() to add cputime to cpustat->guest if we are
running a VCPU. We add this cputime to cpustat->user instead of
cpustat->system because this part of KVM code is in fact user code
although it is executed in the kernel. We duplicate VCPU time between
guest and user to allow an unmodified "top(1)" to display correct value.
A modified "top(1)" is able to display good cpu user time and cpu guest
time by subtracting cpu guest time from cpu user time. Update "gtime" in
task_struct accordingly.

most multicore CPUs today have shared L2 caches, so tune things so
that the spreading amongst cores is more aggressive.

95938a35c5 sched: prevent wakeup over-scheduling
Prevent wakeup over-scheduling.  Once a task has been preempted by a
task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated
preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept.  Instead, the
task is marked for preemption at the next tick.  Tasks of higher
priority still preempt immediately.

5cb350baf5 sched: group scheduling, sysfs tunables
Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share.

A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system.

	/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share

Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user.
Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an
administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share.

Ex:
	# cd /sys/kernel/uids/
	# cat 512/cpu_share
	1024
	# echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share
	# cat 512/cpu_share
	2048
	#

24e377a832 sched: add fair-user scheduler
Enable user-id based fair group scheduling. This is useful for anyone
who wants to test the group scheduler w/o having to enable
CONFIG_CGROUPS.

A separate scheduling group (i.e struct task_grp) is automatically created for 
every new user added to the system. Upon uid change for a task, it is made to 
move to the corresponding scheduling group.

A /proc tunable (/proc/root_user_share) is also provided to tune root
user's quota of cpu bandwidth.
