0916bd3ebb [PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method.
processor_perflib.c::acpi_processor_ppc_notifier() check if the value
returned by the processor's _PPC method is 0 and return failed if so.
This is wrong since 0 indicate that the bios think the processor can go
to the highest frequency.  This patch for example fix the HP NX 6125 to
allow its highest frequency to be available.

66c669baa7 [AGP] Allocate AGP pages with GFP_DMA32 by default
Not all graphic page remappers support physical addresses over the 4GB
mark for remapping, so while some do (the AMD64 GART always did, and I
just fixed the i965 to do so properly), we're safest off just forcing
GFP_DMA32 allocations to make sure graphics pages get allocated in the
low 32-bit address space by default.

AGP sub-drivers that really care, and can do better, could just choose
to implement their own allocator (or we could add another "64-bit safe"
default allocator for their use), but quite frankly, you're not likely
to care in practice.

So for now, this trivial change means that we won't be allocating pages
that we can't map correctly by mistake on x86-64.

[ On traditional 32-bit x86, this could never happen, because GFP_KERNEL
  would never allocate any highmem memory anyway ]

d19044c32b [SCSI] qla2xxx: defer topology discovery to DPC thread during initialization.
Modify intialization semantics:

- perform basic hardware configuration only (as usual)
  - allocate resources
  - load and execute firmware

- defer link (transport) negotiations to the DPC thread
  - again the code in qla2x00_initialize_adapter() to stall probe()
    completion was needed for legacy-style scanning.
  - DPC thread stalls until probe() complete.

- before probe() completes, set DPC flags to perform loop-resync logic
  (similar to what's done during cable-insertion/removal).

Benefits: user does not have to wait 20+ seconds in case the FC cable
is unplugged during driver load, code consolidation (removal of
redundant link negotiation logic during initialize_adaoter()), and
finilly, the driver no longer needs to defer the fc_remote_port_add()
calls to hold off lun-scanning prior to returning from the probe()
function.

1aa8fab2ac [SCSI] Make scsi_scan_host work for drivers which find their own targets
If a driver can find its own targets, it can now fill in scan_finished and
(optionally) scan_start in the scsi_host_template.  Then, when it calls
scsi_scan_host(), it will be called back (from a thread if asynchronous
discovery is enabled), first to start the scan, and then at intervals to
check if the scan is completed.

Also make scsi_prep_async_scan and scsi_finish_async_scan static.

d18b448fc2 [SCSI] aacraid: Abort management FIBs
Received from Mark Salyzyn:

Add code to abort outstanding management ioctl fibs when the blinkLED recovery
is performed. This code is 'clunky' and does not have any real feedback in that
the reset could progress before the user application has gotten it's
notification of command completion. We put a schedule() call to delay just the
right amount for most cases, because we tried a spin and still managed to find
cases where we would spin forever waiting for the management application to
acknowledge the impending doom surrounding the cause of the BlinkLED. Will
cause an oops in the context of the management application if we proceed too
quickly. I view this as the lesser of many evils since currently if there are
outstanding management ioctls during a need to reset/recover the adapter, the
management application just locks up and waits forever. The best practices fix
for this problem not going to be simple or easy (at least the fixes I imagine
today); and we found a balance between the needs of the driver to proceed, and
the applications that locked or confused that would hold back the driver. I
just do not like the idea of a kernel oops in an application to deal with low
priority, sluggish or misbehaving applications.

7d915a3898 [AGP] Fix intel 965 AGP memory mapping function
This introduces a i965-specific "mask_memory()" function that knows
about the extended physical addresses that the i965 supports.  This
allows us to correctly map in physical memory in the >4GB range into the
GTT.

Also simplify/clean-up the i965 case for the aperture sizing by just
returning the fixed 512kB size from "fetch_size()".  We don't really
care that not all of the aperture may be visible - the only thing that
cares about the aperture size is the Intel "stolen memory" calculation,
which depends on the fixed size.

7b4feee973 [PATCH] aic94xx: delete ascb timers when freeing queues
When the aic94xx driver creates ascbs, each ascb is initialized with a
timeout timer.  If there are any ascbs left over when the driver is being
torn down, these timers need to be deleted.  In particular, we seem to
hit this case when ascbs are issued yet never end up on the done list.
Right now there's a sequencer bug that results in this happening every
so often.

CONTROL PHY commands are typically sent when things are really messed
up with the sequencer; however, any other leftover ascb should produce
loud warnings.

This patch implements a REQ_DEVICE_RESET handler for the aic94xx
driver.  Like the earlier REQ_TASK_ABORT patch, this patch defers the
device reset to the Scsi_Host's workqueue, which has the added benefit
of ensuring that the device reset does not happen at the same time
that the abort tmfs are being processed.  After the phy reset, the
busted drive should go away and be re-detected later, which is indeed
what I've seen on both a x260 and a x206m.

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

b976fe19ac Revert "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution"
This reverts commit 37605a6900.

Again.

This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
commit b8d35192c5, only to be reverted
last time in commit 72945b2b90.

We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
threads.

Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
throttles the events properly.

At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
event without this patch reverted.

d5d06ff7f1 [WATCHDOG] MIPS RM9000 on-chip watchdog device - patch 4
a number of small patches:
- include notifier.h include file
- re-arrange prototype functions
- remove =0 initializations
- change printk logging levels to what's used in other drivers
- /dev/watchdog is a VFS so use nonseekable_open
- Style: Instead of "if (constant op function_or_variable)"
  we prefer "if (function_or_variable op constant)"
- arg is a __user pointer
- use MAX_TIMEOUT_SECONDS instead of 32 in WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT
