e3790c7d42 block: separate out padding from alignment
Block layer alignment was used for two different purposes - memory
alignment and padding.  This causes problems in lower layers because
drivers which only require memory alignment ends up with adjusted
rq->data_len.  Separate out padding such that padding occurs iff
driver explicitly requests it.

7a85f8896f block: restore the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data length
The meaning of rq->data_len was changed to the length of an allocated
buffer from the true data length. It breaks SG_IO friends and
bsg. This patch restores the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data
length and adds rq->extra_len to store an extended length (due to
drain buffer and padding).

This patch also removes the code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user
introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbd.
The commit adjusts bio according to memory alignment
(queue_dma_alignment). However, memory alignment is NOT padding
alignment. This adjustment also breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. Padding
alignment needs to be fixed in a proper way (by a separate patch).

dcabb819a6 [NETNS][IPV6] fib6_rules - handle several network namespaces
The fib6_rules_ops is moved to the network namespace structure.  All
references are changed to have it relatively to it.

Each time a network namespace is created a new fib6_rules_ops is
allocated, initialized and stored into the network namespace
structure.

The common part of the fib rules is namespace aware, so it is quite
easy to retrieve the network namespace from the rules and use it in
the different callbacks.

5b7c931dff [NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - add net to gc timer parameter
The fib tables are now relative to the network namespace. When the
garbage collector timer expires, we must have a network namespace
parameter in order to retrieve the tables. For now this is the
init_net, but we should be able to have a timer per namespace and use
the timer callback parameter to pass the network namespace from the
expired timer.

The timer callback, fib6_run_gc, is actually used to be called
synchronously by some functions and asynchronously when the timer
expires.

When the timer expires, the delay specified for fib6_run_gc parameter
is always zero. So, I changed fib6_run_gc to not be a timer callback
but a function called by the timer callback and I added a timer
callback where its work is just to retrieve from the data arg of the
timer the network namespace and call fib6_run_gc with zero expiring
time and the network namespace parameters. That makes the code cleaner
for the fib6_run_gc callers.

 a) some operate with "magic" constants,

674eea0fc4 KVM: Make the supported cpuid list a host property rather than a vm property
One of the use cases for the supported cpuid list is to create a "greatest
common denominator" of cpu capabilities in a server farm.  As such, it is
useful to be able to get the list without creating a virtual machine first.

Since the code does not depend on the vm in any way, all that is needed is
to move it to the device ioctl handler.  The capability identifier is also
changed so that binaries made against -rc1 will fail gracefully.

94a3f78566 [ARM] 4837/1: make __get_unaligned_*() return unsigned types
Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function
under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers.
As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer
pointing to the following byte sequence:

	80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87

would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.)  This turns out to be
because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of
various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally
return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the
subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e()
to sign-extend the lower words.

Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e()
to unsigned int.

9d9bf77d16 mac80211: enable IBSS merging
enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same channel, same ESSID
and a TSF higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its
BSSID. while this might not be immediately apparent from reading the 802.11
standard it is compliant and necessary to make IBSS mode functional in many
cases. most drivers have a similar behaviour.

* move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down
to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure.

* we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather
than the current TSF. since mactime is defined as the time the first data
symbol arrived we add the time until byte 24 where the timestamp resides, since
this is how the beacon timestamp is defined. as some some drivers are not able
to give a reliable mactime we fall back to use the current TSF, which will be
enough to catch most (but not all) cases where an IBSS merge is necessary.

* in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we
can correctly do merges.

* we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that
message.

* to enable this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they
have a different BSSID.

c132bec33c mac80211: better definition of mactime
define mactime as the time when the first data symbol arrived at the HW. the
old definition was questionable because 802.11 defines timestamp only for
beacon and probe response frames, and there it means the timestamp field.

a stricter definition of mactime is necessary for correct merging of IBSS.

note that it is up to the driver to convert whatever its hardware returns to
this definition. unfortunately we don't know for example when atheros hardware
takes its rx timestamp exactly :(

3330d7be70 mac80211: give burst time in txop rather than 0.1msec units
This changes mac80211 to pass the burst time to conf_tx in txop
units rather than 0.1msec units. 0.1msec units are only required
by atheros hardware (according to current driver support), all
other drivers do other calculations or require the txop value.
Therefore, it results in fewer calculations and more precision
if we just pass the txop value through to the driver.

8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
