It actually makes much more sense there, and we do tend to need it for
non-RCU usage too. Moving it to <linux/compiler.h> will allow some
other cases that have open-coded the same logic to use the same helper
function that RCU has used.

This behavior differs across multiple controllers, so we cannot use
common logic for all controllers.
Revert back to the basic common behavior, and specific drivers will
be updated from here to take into account the unusual Status return
values.

Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted
into a kernel which expects modversions.
modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it
won't be effected, but this will make sure that a
non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.

request
Some Inovaphone PBXs exhibit very stange behaviour: when dialing for
example "123", the device sends INVITE requests for "1", "12" and
"123" back to back. The first requests will elicit error responses
from the receiver, causing the SIP helper to flush the RTP
expectations even though we might still see a positive response.
Note the sequence number of the last INVITE request that contained a
media description and only flush the expectations when receiving a
negative response for that sequence number.

get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions
to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking
up the partition twice, to make matters even worse. Change the
stat add code to accept a passed in partition instead.

generic_file_splice_write() duplicates remove_suid() just because it
doesn't hold i_mutex. But it grabs i_mutex inside splice_from_pipe()
anyway, so this is rather pointless.

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?

Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a logic error in task_wake_up_rt() where we
will always evaluate to "true". You can find the thread here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
In reality, we only want to try to push tasks away when a wake up request is
not going to preempt the current task. So lets fix it.
Note: We introduce test_tsk_need_resched() instead of open-coding the flag
check so that the merge-conflict with -rt should help remind us that we
may need to support NEEDS_RESCHED_DELAYED in the future, too.

brctl showmacs

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.
So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.
API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.
The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci. It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).
API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

packets you might want to send. I thought this was good enough for
Linux, but it actually isn't, since we don't do UFO in software.
So, add separate feature bits for what the host can handle. Add
equivalent ones for the guest to say what it can handle, because LRO
is coming too (thanks Herbert!).

Ron Minnich points out that a struct containing a char is not always
sizeof(char); simplest to remove the structure to avoid confusion.

Rusty,
is there a reason why we dont export the virtio headers for
9p, balloon, console, pci, and virtio_ring? kvm uses make sync,
but I think it is still useful to heave these headers exported
as they might be useful for other userspace tools.
I dont export virtio.h, because it does not seem to have useful
information for userspace and it requires scatterlist.h which is
also not exported. See also my other mail about your "virtio:
change config to guest endian." patch.
