This patch adds support for the BM PHY, a new PHY model being used
on ICH9-based implementations.
This new PHY exposes issues in the ICH9 silicon when receiving
jumbo frames large enough to use more than a certain part of the
Rx FIFO, and this unfortunately breaks packet split jumbo receives.
For this reason we re-introduce (for affected adapters only) the
jumbo single-skb receive routine back so that people who do
wish to use jumbo frames on these ich9 platforms can do so.
Part of this problem has to do with CPU sleep states and to make
sure that all the wake up timings are correctly we force them
with the recently merged pm_qos infrastructure written by Mark
Gross. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/4/400).
To make code read a bit easier we introduce a _IS_ICH flag so
that we don't need to do mac type checks over the code.

This patch fixes uli526x driver's issues on a PowerPC boards: uli chip
is unable to receive the packets.
It appears that send_frame_filter prepares the setup frame in the
endianness unsafe manner. On a big endian machines we should shift
the address nibble by two bytes.

The firmware on MPC8610HPCD boards enables ULI ethernet and leaves it
in some funky state before booting Linux. For drivers, it's always good
idea to (re)initialize the hardware prior to requesting interrupts.

commit c2edacf80e155ef54ae4774379d461b60896bc2e

bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master
two steps were rearranged in the enslavement process: netdev_set_master
is now before the call to dev_open to open the slave.
This patch updates the error cases and unwind process at the
end of bond_enslave to match the new order. Without this patch, it is
possible for the enslavement to fail, but leave the slave with IFF_SLAVE
set in its flags.

The sysfs layer has an internal protection, that ensures, that
all the process sitting inside ->sore/->show callback exits
before the appropriate entry is unregistered (the calltraces
are rather big, but I can provide them if required).
On the other hand, bonding takes rtnl_lock in
a) the bonding_store_bonds, i.e. in ->store callback,
b) module exit before calling the sysfs unregister routines.
Thus, the classical AB-BA deadlock may occur. To reproduce run
# while :; do modprobe bonding; rmmod bonding; done
and
# while :; do echo '+bond%d' > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters ; done
in parallel.
The fix is to move the bond_destroy_sysfs out of the rtnl_lock,
but _before_ bond_free_all to make sure no bonding devices exist
after module unload.

A couple of distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu) were having weird problems with the
ATI IXP series PATA controllers being reported as simplex. At the heart of
the problem is that both distros ignored the recommendations to load pata_acpi
and ata_generic *AFTER* specific host drivers.
The underlying cause however is that if you D3 and then D0 an ATI IXP it
helpfully throws away some configuration and won't let you rewrite it.
Add checks to ata_generic and pata_acpi to pin ATIIXP devices. Possibly the
real answer here is to quirk them and pin them, but right now we can't do that
before they've been pcim_enable()'d by a driver.
I'm indebted to David Gero for this. His bug report not only reported the
problem but identified the cause correctly and he had tested the right values
to prove what was going on

Use IDMA for ATAPI commands. Write and some misc commands time out
when executed using ATAPI_PROT_DMA but ATAPI_PROT_PIO works fine. As
PIO is driven by DMA too, it doesn't make any noticeable difference
for native SATA devices. inic_check_atapi_dma() is implemented to
force PIO for those ATAPI commands.

The modified driver on initio site has enough clue on how to use IDMA.
Use IDMA for ATA_PROT_DMA.
* LBA48 now works as long as it uses DMA (LBA48 devices still aren't
allowed as it can destroy data if PIO is used for any reason).
* No need to mask IRQs for read DMAs as IDMA_DONE is properly raised
after transfer to memory is actually completed. There will be some
spurious interrupts but host_intr will handle it correctly and
manipulating port IRQ mask interacts badly with the other port for
some reason, so command type dependent port IRQ masking is not used
anymore.

inic162x can't reliably read back TF or at least we don't know how to
do it yet. The only values which seem reliable are status and error.
This patch updates access to TF.
* implement inic_tf_read() which reads the TF area in mmio area
* implement custom inic_qc_fill_rtf() which only returns true if
status indicates device error. it'll be returning bogus addresses
for device errors but it'll be able to report why it failed at
least.
* implement custom inic_check_ready() and use ata_wait_after_reset()
instead of the SFF version.
* use inic_tf_read() for classification.
This is not perfect but it fixes hotplug detection failure and at
least makes the driver report 0's instead of random garbages while
reporting valid status and error for device errors.

Convert sata_mv's EH for FIS-based switching (FBS) over to the
sequence recommended by Marvell. This enables us to catch/analyze
multiple failed links on a port-multiplier when using NCQ.
To do this, we clear the ERR_DEV bit in the EDMA Halt-Conditions register,
so that the EDMA engine doesn't self-disable on the first NCQ error.
Our EH code sets the MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH flag to prevent new commands
being queued while we await completion of all outstanding NCQ commands
on all links of the failed PM.
The SATA Test Control register tells us which links have failed,
so we must only wait for any other active links to finish up
before we stop the EDMA and run the .error_handler afterward.
The patch also includes skeleton code for handling of non-NCQ FBS operation.
This is more for documentation purposes right now, as that mode is not yet
enabled in sata_mv.

Introduce a new "delayed error handling" mechanism in sata_mv,
to enable us to eventually deal with multiple simultaneous NCQ
failures on a single host link when a PM is present.
This involves a port flag (MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH) to prevent new
commands being queued, and a pmp bitmap to indicate which pmp links
had NCQ errors.
The new mv_pmp_error_handler() uses those values to invoke
ata_eh_analyze_ncq_error() on each failed link, prior to freezing
the port and passing control to sata_pmp_error_handler().
This is based upon a strategy suggested by Tejun.
For now, we just implement the delayed mechanism.
The next patch in this series will add the multiple-NCQ EH code
to take advantage of it.

Sigh. Undo some earlier changes to mv_port_intr(),
so that we now read/clear SError again in all cases.
Arrange the top of the function to be as close as possible
to what we need for a later update (in this series) for ERR_DEV handling.
Fix things so that libata-eh can attempt a READ_LOG_EXT_10H
in response to a failed NCQ command, by just doing a local
mv_eh_freeze() rather than ata_port_freeze().
This will now fully handle NCQ errors much of the time,
but more fixes are needed for FBS/PMP, and for certain chip errata.

When performing EH, it is recommended to wait for the EDMA engine
to empty out requests-in-progress before disabling EDMA.
Introduce code to poll the EDMA_STATUS register for idle/empty bits
before disabling EDMA. For non-EH operation, this will normally exit
without delay, other than the register read.
A later series of patches may focus on eliminating this and various
other register reads (when possible) throughout the driver,
but for now we're focussing on solid reliablity.

Some controllers (jmb and inic162x) use 0x77 and 0x7f to indicate that
the device isn't ready yet. It looks like they use 0xff if device
presence is detected but connection isn't established. 0x77 or 0x7f
after connection is established and use the value from signature FIS
after receiving it.
This patch implements ata_check_ready(), which takes TF status value
and determines whether the port is ready or not considering the above
and other conditions, and use it in @check_ready() functions. This is
safe as both 0x77 and 0x7f aren't valid ready status value even though
they have BSY bit cleared.
This fixes hot plug detection failures which can be triggered with
certain drives if they aren't already spun up when the data connector
is hot plugged.
Tested on sil, sil24, ahci (jmb/ich), piix and inic162x combined with
eight drives from all major vendors.

this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()).
- architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set
CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
- the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()
- cpu_clock() might be implemented as:
sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())
if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?
