The match_table field of the struct of_device_id is constant in <linux/of_platform.h>
so it is worth to make the initialization data also constant.

The socket driver m8xx_pcmcia.c uses a static memory assignment,
but io_offset is set to 0. Therefore, it seems proper to use the
iodyn resource manager for this driver, as was previously the
case (before commit 80128ff79d282cf71b1819dbca9b8dd47d8ed3e8).

Currently we're gracefully tearing down each active connection
when fcoe.ko is removed. We shouldn't allow the user to destroy
connections by removing the module. We should force the user to
destroy each connection and then the module can be removed.
This patch makes it so a refrerence count on the module is taken
each time a fcoe_interface is created. The reference count
is dropped when the fcoe_interface is destroyed. This makes it
so that module_exit() doesn't get called unless all fcoe_interfaces
have been destroyed.
This patch leaves the removal of interfaces in the module_exit
routine so that if the user does a 'rmmod -f' we'll clean everything
up before removing the module.
The module_put line was put before the out_putdev goto line because
we should only be decrementing the reference count if a
fcoe_interface is actually destroyed. If we can't find the netdev
or the fcoe_interface then it's assumed that something else has
destroyed the fcoe_interface and it would have decremented the
reference count at that time.

Adds check to call fc_fcp_ddp_setup for only FCP read cmds to avoid
accessing junk fsp pointer at least in ESX since non FCP frame had
junk fsp value, though fsp is implicitly initialized to null
by __alloc_skb but with this patch no more relying on fsp
initialized to null value and hitting junk fsp ptr access.
Removes fsp pointer checking in fc_fcp_ddp_setup as this is not
needed any more since its only caller for FCP read will always

This patch fixes a division by zero error in the irq handler.
There is a small window between the hw_params() callback and when
runtime->frame_bits is set by ALSA middle layer. When another substream is
already running, if an interrupt is delivered during that window the irq
handler calls pcm_pointer() which does a division by zero. The patch below
makes the irq handler skip substreams that are initialized but not started
yet. Cc to Clemens Ladisch because he proposed an alternate fix.

rtmutex_setprio() has the same problem, though it is protected by

avoid bad examples) it needs to be fixed as well.

Both the store queue API and the PMB remapping take unsigned long for
their pgprot flags, which cuts off the extended protection bits. In the
case of the PMB this isn't really a problem since the cache attribute
bits that we care about are all in the lower 32-bits, but we do it just
to be safe. The store queue remapping on the other hand depends on the
extended prot bits for enabling userspace access to the mappings.

Presently there's an ordering issue with the chained handler change
which places the set_irq_chip() after set_irq_chained_handler(). This
causes a warning to be emitted as the IRQ chip needs to be set first.
However, there is the caveat that redirect IRQs can't use the parent
IRQ's irq chip as they are just dummy redirects, resulting in
intc_enable() blowing up when set_irq_chained_handler() attempts to
start up the redirect IRQ. In these cases we can just use dummy_irq_chip
directly, as we already extract the parent IRQ and chip from the redirect
handler.

CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported

Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync
on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing
his patches across other ppc64 processors.
Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that
uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a
global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5
and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression.
This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs
on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync
capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the
CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync
method.
