ab5610b434 [JFFS2] remove junk prototypes
'rb_prev()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_replace_node()' are declared in
include/linux/rbtree.h, no need for JFFS2 to re-declare them. I
believe these are left-overs from the old days when the common
RB tree code did not have those call and JFFS2 had private
implementation.

237889bf0a ACPI : Use RSDT instead of XSDT by adding boot option of "acpi=rsdt"
On some boxes there exist both RSDT and XSDT table. But unfortunately
sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used:
   a. 32/64X address mismatch
   b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch

   In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that
RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well.

13b40a1a06 ACPI: Avoid array address overflow when _CST MWAIT hint bits are set
The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT
hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.

On some boxes the following Cx state package is obtained from _CST object:
    >{
                ResourceTemplate ()
                {
                    Register (FFixedHW,
                        0x01,               // Bit Width
                        0x02,               // Bit Offset
                        0x0000000000889759, // Address
                        0x03,               // Access Size
                        )
                },

                0x03,
                0xF5,
                0x015E }

   In such case we should use the bit[7:4] of Cx address to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.

mask the MWAIT hint to avoid array address overflow

f87a1a5f6c fujitsu-laptop: Simplify SBLL/SBL2 backlight handling
GBLS and GBLL only differ in the clearing of the GHKS flag, so there is no need
to have two backlight level readouts. Also, per Peter Gruber, the need for the
BLNF check has disappeared.
As a result, cleanups can be made in the code. This has been tested on the both
the S6410 and the S6420 platforms and causes no functionality regressions, on
the console without X or within X. One module parameter to disable the hotkeys
is dropped, as we only ever took one codepath anyway.

3a40708609 fujitsu-laptop: Add BL power, LED control and radio state information
The FUNC interface in the Fujitsu-Siemens DSDT was unused until now. It exposes
state information that is now reported in additional platform files (whether the
radios are killed by the hardware switch or operational, whether the machine is
docked and whether the lid is open).
Support for the backlight class is now extended with the ability to power the
backlight on & off. Optional support for the LED class allows the keyboard
headlamps found on the U810 netbook and the Fujitsu logo illumination on the
P8010 notebook to be turned on & off.

This was fed through checkpatch.pl and tested on the S6420, P8010 & U810 platforms.

This matters for some controllers and in one or two cases almost doubles
PIO performance. Add a bmdma32 operations set we can inherit and activate

e427fe042c [libata] ahci: Withdraw IGN_SERR_INTERNAL for SB800 SATA
There is an issue in ATI SB600/SB700 SATA that PxSERR.E should not be
set on some conditions, which will lead to many SATA ODD error messages.
commit 55a61604cd is the workaround.
Since SB800 fixed this HW issue, IGN_SERR_INTERNAL should be withdrawn
for SB800.

4044ba58dd md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.
If a raid1 has only one working drive and it has a sector which
gives an error on read, then an attempt to recover onto a spare will
fail, but as the single remaining drive is not removed from the
array, the recovery will be immediately re-attempted, resulting
in an infinite recovery loop.

So detect this situation and don't retry recovery once an error
on the lone remaining drive is detected.

Allow recovery to be retried once every time a spare is added
in case the problem wasn't actually a media error.

efeb53c0e5 md: Allow md devices to be created by name.
Using sequential numbers to identify md devices is somewhat artificial.
Using names can be a lot more user-friendly.

Also, creating md devices by opening the device special file is a bit
awkward.

So this patch provides a new option for creating and naming devices.

Writing a name such as "md_home" to
    /sys/modules/md_mod/parameters/new_array
will cause an array with that name to be created.  It will appear in
/sys/block/ /proc/partitions and /proc/mdstat as 'md_home'.
It will have an arbitrary minor number allocated.

md devices that a created by an open are destroyed on the last
close when the device is inactive.
For named md devices, they will not be destroyed until the array
is explicitly stopped, either with the STOP_ARRAY ioctl or by
writing 'clear' to /sys/block/md_XXXX/md/array_state.

The name of the array must start 'md_' to avoid conflict with
other devices.

d3374825ce md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed.
Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
is unloaded.  This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
gendisk, this a circular reference.

If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed.  However it
is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
this.

So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed.  However this has a
complication.
Between the call
   __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
and the call
   __blkdev_get->md_open

there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
destroyed prematurely.

Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
which a new reference to the gendisk can be created.  We need to
ensure that this reference can not be used.  i.e. the ->open must
fail.

So:
 1/  in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
     indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
     though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
     This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
     is no longer needed.
     This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
     md_open.

 2/  In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
     the gendisk that we did open.
     If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
     __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
     In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
     the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
     we loop at most once.

Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
appears.   If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
and then close and so on.
So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it.  This means that
all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
removed).

As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
  echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
kobjects.  This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().
