They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.
A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:
(a) when we write it out. We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
this, and that function remains unchanged.
In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.
(b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
outstanding dirty state.
For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).
Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).
This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database
corruption on ARM.

Since commit 368c73d4f689dae0807d0a2aa74c61fd2b9b075f the kernel will try
to update the non-writeable BAR registers 0..3 of PIIX4 IDE adapters if
pci_assign_unassigned_resources() is used to do full resource assignment of
the bus. This fails because in the PIIX4 these BAR registers have
implicitly assumed values and read back as zero; it used to work because
the kernel used to just write zero to that register the read back value did
match what was written.
The fix is a new resource flag IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED used to mark a resource
as non-movable. This will also be useful to keep other import system
resources from being moved around - for example system consoles on PCI
busses.

This patch is designed to fix:
- Disk eating corruptor on KT7 after resume from RAM
- VIA IRQ handling
- VIA fixups for bus lockups after resume from RAM
The core of this is to add a table of resume fixups run at resume time.
We need to do this for a variety of boards and features, but particularly
we need to do this to get various critical VIA fixups done on resume.
The second part of the problem is to handle VIA IRQ number rules which
are a bit odd and need special handling for PIC interrupts. Various
patches broke various boxes and while this one may not be perfect
(hopefully it is) it ensures the workaround is applied to the right
devices only.
From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Now that PCI quirks are replayed on software resume, we can safely
re-enable the Asus SMBus unhiding quirk even when software suspend support
is enabled.

There are already several places in the kernel that want to search a PCI
device for a given Hypertransport capability. Although this is possible
using pci_find_capability() etc., it makes sense to encapsulate that
logic in a helper - pci_find_ht_capability().
To cater for searching exhaustively for a capability, we also provide
pci_find_next_ht_capability().
We also need to cater for the fact that the HT capability fields may be
either 3 or 5 bits wide. pci_find_ht_capability() deals with this for you,
but callers using the #defines directly must handle that themselves.

This works like pci_dev_present but instead of returning boolean returns
the matching pci_device_id entry. This makes it much more useful. Code
bloat is basically nil as the old boolean function is rewritten in terms of
the new one.

Currently we allow any merge, even if the io originates from different
processes. This can cause really bad starvation and unfairness, if those
ios happen to be synchronous (reads or direct writes).
So add a allow_merge hook to the io scheduler ops, so an io scheduler can
help decide whether a bio/process combination may be merged with an
existing request.

On ixp23xx, it was thought to be necessary to disable coherency to work
around certain silicon errata. This turns out not to be the case --
none of the documented errata workarounds require disabling coherency,
and disabling coherency does not work around any existing errata.
Furthermore, all ixp23xx models do support coherency, so we should just
unconditionally enable coherency for all ixp23xx.

On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by
external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses),
just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by
commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the
assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on
the same word.
So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those
architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32).
So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t",
which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on
such architectures.
This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as
the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32
will probably need fixing.
Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane
atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

The ib_dma_alloc_coherent() wrapper uses a u64* for the dma_handle
parameter, unlike dma_alloc_coherent, which uses dma_addr_t*. This
means that we need a temporary variable to handle the case when
ib_dma_alloc_coherent() just falls through directly to
dma_alloc_coherent() on architectures where sizeof u64 != sizeof
dma_addr_t.
