2009-01-09x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI quirksAndi Kleen
We found a situation on Linus' machine that the Nvidia timer quirk hit on a Intel chipset system. The problem is that the system has a fancy Nvidia card with an own PCI bridge, and the early-quirks code looking for any NVidia bridge triggered on it incorrectly. This didn't lead a boot failure by luck, but the timer routing code selecting the wrong timer first and some ugly messages. It might lead to real problems on other systems. I checked all the devices which are currently checked for by early_quirks and it turns out they are all located in the root bus zero. So change the early-quirks loop to only scan bus 0. This incidently also saves quite some unnecessary scanning work, because early_quirks doesn't go through all the non root busses. The graphics card is not on bus 0, so it is not matched anymore.

2009-01-09fujitsu-laptop: Simplify SBLL/SBL2 backlight handlingTony Vroon
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.

2009-01-09fujitsu-laptop: Add BL power, LED control and radio state informationTony Vroon
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.

2009-01-09md: don't retry recovery of raid1 that fails due to error on source drive.NeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-01-09md: Allow md devices to be created by name.NeilBrown
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. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
