5278b50cea sata_nv: handle SError status indication
ADMA-capable controllers provide a bit in the status register that appears
to indicate that the controller detected an SError condition. Update sata_nv
to detect this and trigger error handling in order to handle the fault.

8361cd79f2 add delay around sl82c105_reset_engine calls
The hald media changed polling does really confuse things.
Noone knows why the delays are needed, but they give us access to the CD.

An udelay(50) will give reliable access to the drive, but there is still
one (or more) EH reset. The drive works without EH resets with udelay(100).

61f216c719 libata: fix drive side 80c cable check, take 3
The 80c wire bit is bit 13, not 14.  Bit 14 is always 1 if word93 is
implemented.  This increases the chance of incorrect wire detection
especially because host side cable detection is often unreliable and
we sometimes soley depend on drive side cable detection.  Fix the test
and add word93 validity check.

5387373bfe sata_promise: new EH conversion for 20619 chips, take 2
This patch updates the sata_promise driver to use new-style
libata error handling for 20619 (TX4000) chips. sata_promise
already uses new EH for the other chips it supports, so the
patch is quite simple:

* remove ->phy_reset and ->eng_timeout ops from pdc_pata_ops,
  and instead bind ->freeze, ->thaw, ->error_handler, and
  ->post_internal_cmd to existing new EH functions
* drop ATA_FLAG_SRST from board_20619's flags
* remove now unused pdc_pata_phy_reset() and pdc_eng_timeout()

Tested on a TX4000 with both modern working disks and old/quirky
disks. Also used a CD-RW drive to test reading and writing CDs.

5f7748cf91 Execute AML Notify() requests on stack.
HP nx6125/nx6325/... machines have a _GPE handler with an infinite
loop sending Notify() events to different ACPI subsystems.

The notify handler in the ACPI thermal driver is a C-routine,
which may invoke the ACPI interpreter again to get access
to some ACPI variables such as temperature.  (acpi_evaluate_xxx)
On these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of an ASL variable
and lets the loop above break.

In the current ACPI implementation, Notify requests are being deferred
to the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with
infinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will
continue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time
preventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All
notify events are deferred, thus we see explosion in memory consumption.

Also as GPE handling is blocked, machines overheat because ACPI-based
fan control is stalled.  Eventually by external poll of the same
acpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are
free to run, thus 100% CPU utilization by kacpid for several seconds
or more.

To prevent this failure,  Linux must not send notify events to the
kacpid workqueue -- either executing them immediately or putting them
on some other thread.

The first attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright
He created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid
workqueue.
This patch appeared in 2.6.15-based kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Second attempt was done by Alexey Starikovskiy, who created a new thread
for each Notify event. This worked OK on HP nx machines,
but broke Linus' Compaq n620c, by producing threads with a speed what
they stopped the machine completely.
Thus this patch was reverted from 2.6.18-rc2.

Alexey re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events,
thus hopping it will not break Linus' machine. Patch was tested on the
same HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but this broke Linus' machine
also and was reverted from 2.6.19-rc with much fanfair.

The 4th patch inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred
execution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus
decided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue
to see if it's empty or atomic inc/dec).  Then a 5th attempt did a
yield() to every GPE execution.

Finally, this 6th generation patch simply executes the notify handler
on the stack.  Previous attempts to do this simple solution failed
because of issues in AML mutex re-entrancy which are now fixed
by the previous patch in this series.

c0d127b569 ACPICA: fix AML mutex re-entrancy
ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

2b8c0e1302 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Redo Longhaul ver. 2
Start using v2 version of Longhaul when available. It provides
voltage scaling and can use ACPI C3 state. That's curious. CPU
will not change frequency on ACPI C3 when v1 is in use, but it will
when v2 is used. Driver will return max frequency all the time if
this isn't true for all processors. There is strange thing with
mobile voltage. Looks like only Nehemiah (C3-M) supports it.
Earlier processors have different mobile VRM (in docs), but I can't
find any which is using it. Looks like all are using VRM 8.5. So
fail for non Nehemiah with mobile VRM.

7f999aa726 hwmon: Simplify the locking model of two drivers
Many hardware monitoring drivers use two different mutexes, one to
protect their per-device data structure, and one to protect the
access to the device registers. These mutexes are essentially
redundant, as the drivers are transfering values between the device
registers and the data cache, so they almost always end up holding
both mutexes at the same time. Using a single mutex will make the
code more simple and faster.

I am changing only two of the affected drivers here, the authors
of the other affected drivers are welcome to submit similar patches
if they want.

f8d0c19a93 hwmon/it87: Add PWM base frequency control
Let the user select the base PWM frequency when using the it87
hardware monitoring driver. Different frequencies can give better
control on some fans.

Also update the documentation to mention the PWM frequency control
files, with misc cleanups to the PWM section.
