The current block queue implementation already contains most of the
machinery for shared tag maps. The only remaining pieces are a way to
allocate and destroy a tag map independently of the queues (so that
the maps can be managed on the life cycle of the overseeing entity)

Right now, various kernel modules are being migrated over to use
request_firmware in order to pull in binary firmware blobs from userland
when the module is loaded. This makes sense.
However, there is right now little mechanism in place to automatically
determine which binary firmware blobs must be included with a kernel in
order to satisfy the prerequisites of these drivers. This affects
vendors, but also regular users to a certain extent too.
The attached patch introduces MODULE_FIRMWARE as a mechanism for
advertising that a particular firmware file is to be loaded - it will
then show up via modinfo and could be used e.g. when packaging a kernel.

Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes. Specifically
it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case
even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle. This is because certain drivers
don't honour the throttle value correctly, although it is a useful
safeguard anyway.

JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs. With
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page
boundary causing IO problems.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127
So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage allocation from
its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested)
patch:
Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC

The biggest change is that ata_host_set is renamed to ata_host.
* ata_host_set => ata_host
* ata_probe_ent->host_flags => ata_probe_ent->port_flags
* ata_probe_ent->host_set_flags => ata_probe_ent->_host_flags
* ata_host_stats => ata_port_stats
* ata_port->host => ata_port->scsi_host
* ata_port->host_set => ata_port->host
* ata_port_info->host_flags => ata_port_info->flags
* ata_(.*)host_set(.*)\(\) => ata_\1host\2()
The leading underscore in ata_probe_ent->_host_flags is to avoid
reusing ->host_flags for different purpose. Currently, the only user
of the field is libata-bmdma.c and probe_ent itself is scheduled to be
removed.
ata_port->host is reused for different purpose but this field is used
inside libata core proper and of different type.

The IPv4/IPv6 datagram output path was using skb_trim to trim paged
packets because they know that the packet has not been cloned yet
(since the packet hasn't been given to anything else in the system).
This broke because skb_trim no longer allows paged packets to be
trimmed. Paged packets must be given to one of the pskb_trim functions
instead.
This patch adds a new pskb_trim_unique function to cover the IPv4/IPv6
datagram output path scenario and replaces the corresponding skb_trim
calls with it.

Also, moved ATA_MAX_SECTORS and ATA_MAX_SECTORS_LBA48 from
linux/libata.h to linux/ata.h, now that they truly reflect the standard
(well... mostly; note TODO comment).
This changes the performance profile (and potential bug profile)
for a bunch of drivers, so be wary.
Implement dummy port which can be requested by setting appropriate bit
in probe_ent->dummy_port_mask. The dummy port is used as placeholder
for stolen legacy port. This allows libata to guarantee that
index_of(ap) == ap->port_no == actual_device_port_no, and thus to
remove error-prone ap->hard_port_no.
As it's used only when one port of a legacy controller is reserved by
some other entity (e.g. IDE), the focus is on keeping the added *code*
complexity at minimum, so dummy port allocates all libata core
resources and acts as a normal port. It just has all dummy port_ops.
This patch only implements dummy port. The following patch will make
libata use it for stolen legacy ports.

Fix simplex support

Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the

the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.
Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
which will make this even cleaner.

and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
separate patch preceding this one. Folded in fixes are...
* ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
* broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
* fix-new-legacy-handling:
* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.
* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.
* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
the first irq.

The following patch enhances libata to allow SAS device drivers
to utilize libata to talk to SATA devices. It introduces some
new APIs which allow libata to be used without allocating a
virtual scsi host.
New APIs:
ata_sas_port_alloc - Allocate an ata_port
ata_sas_port_init - Initialize an ata_port (probe device, etc)
ata_sas_port_destroy - Free an ata_port allocated by ata_sas_port_alloc
ata_sas_slave_configure - configure scsi device
ata_sas_queuecmd - queue a scsi command, similar to ata_scsi_queuecomand
These new APIs can be used either directly by a SAS LLDD or could be used
by the SAS transport class.
Possible usage for a SAS LLDD would be:
scsi_scan_host
target_alloc
ata_sas_port_alloc
slave_alloc
ata_sas_port_init
slave_configure
ata_sas_slave_configure
Commands received by the LLDD for SATA devices would call ata_sas_queuecmd.
Device teardown would occur with:
slave_destroy
port_disable
target_destroy
ata_sas_port_destroy

It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a
special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and
then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process.
If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.
