7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

294ef16a2e [POWERPC] scsi: Constify & voidify get_property()
Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc-specific scsi driver changes.

cefbda2d6c [SCSI] ibmvscsi: treat busy and error conditions separately
This patch fixes a condition where ibmvscsi treats a transport error as a
"busy" condition, so no errors were returned to the scsi mid-layer.
In a RAID environment this means that I/O hung rather than failing
over.

9b833e428a [SCSI] ibmvscsi: prevent scsi commands being sent in invalid state
There is a window where we can be re-enabling an adapter, but
still allow SCSI commands to be sent to the target.  This fix
sets our window (request_limit) to -1 as soon as we know the
adapter is being reenabled, and closes a very teeny tiny
window where we could set the window back to 1 before we
grab a lock.

bb58596f68 [SCSI] ibmvscsi kexec fix
This makes ibmvscsi work correctly with the recent set of kexec
patches that went in.  This is based on work by Michael Ellerman, who
chased this initially.  He validated that it works during kexec.

Handle kexec correctly in ibmvscsi.   During kexec the adapter
will not get cleaned up correctly, so we may need to reset it
to make it sane again.

ibmvscsi where we were using the wrong timeout
field from the scsi command (and using the
wrong units.)  Now broken by the fact that the
scsi_cmnd timeout field is gone entirely.

targets assumed that 0 was default.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
