hwif->hw.io_ports[] and hwif->io_ports[] should be the same but "4drives"
support and scc_pata host driver set only hwif->io_ports[].
To compensate for this check hwif->io_ports[] instead of hwif->hw.io_ports[]
in ide_register_hw() (instead of fixing "4drives" and scc_pata because hwif->hw
is to be removed).

* Unexport ide_proc_register_port().
There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch
(sgiioc4.c: ide_proc_register_port() requires hwif->present
to be set and it won't be set if probe_hwif_init() fails).

* Split off sil_sata_udma_filter() from sil_udma_filter()
and rename sil_udma_filter() to sil_pata_udma_filter().
* Rename siimage_busproc() to sil_sata_busproc().
* Rename siimage_reset_poll() to sil_sata_reset_poll()
and in init_hwif_siimage() set ->reset_poll method only
for SATA controllers.
* Rename siimage_pre_reset() to sil_sata_pre_reset(),
in init_hwif_siimage() set ->pre_reset method only for
SATA controllers and remove redundant is_sata() call.
* Add CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA #ifdef/#endif to pdev_is_sata()
so compiler will know to throw out unused SATA code for
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA=n case (830 bytes saved on x86-32).

* Setup CD_ROM DMA and PIO FIFO settings in init_chipset_ali15x3() instead

The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c. A hash table is used
to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers
within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module
load time.
marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and
marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.

Quoting Randy:
"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.
However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

Prior to use struct marker in the linux kernel markers, we need to clean
two drivers which use this structure name.
Change bonding driver types :
- struct marker to struct bond_marker.
- marker_t to bond_marker_t.
- marker_header to bond_marker_header.
- marker_header_t to bond_marker_header_t.
Change qla4xxx struct marker_entry usage :
- Change struct marker_entry for struct qla4_marker_entry.

This patch adapts IA64 to use the generic parse_crashkernel() function instead
of its own parsing for the crashkernel command line.
Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this
function, efi_memmap_init() is modified to return its accumulated total_memory
variable.
Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in
arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c to make the code more readable.

This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:
crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
range=start-[end]
For example:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.
This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.
This patch:
This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.
If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

empty, when idr_get_new is called (this may happen even if we call
idr_pre_get() before), is not well handled: it lets
semget()/shmget()/msgget() return ENOSPC when this cache is empty, what 1.
does not reflect the facts and 2. does not conform to the man(s).
This patch fixes this by retrying the whole process of allocation in this case.

Virtualization of sysv msg queues is incomplete: msg_hdrs and msg_bytes
variables visible from userspace are global. Let's make them
per-namespace.

Some comments about sem_undo_list seem wrong.
About the comment above unlock_semundo:
"... If task2 now exits before task1 releases the lock (by calling
unlock_semundo()), then task1 will never call spin_unlock(). ..."
This is just wrong, I see no reason for which task1 will not call
spin_unlock... The rest of this comment is also wrong... Unless I
miss something (of course).
Finally, (un)lock_semundo functions are useless, so remove them
for simplification. (this avoids an useless if statement)
