V3: rename NETDEV_ENSLAVE to NETDEV_JOIN
Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole.
Neil pointed out that we may get weird results in such case, so let's disable
netpoll on the device being enslaved. I think it is too harsh to prevent
the device being ensalved if it is running netconsole.
By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole
netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not
and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither.
This patch is based on net-next-2.6.

KVM does not hold any references to rcu protected data when it switches
CPU into a guest mode. In fact switching to a guest mode is very similar
to exiting to userspase from rcu point of view. In addition CPU may stay
in a guest mode for quite a long time (up to one time slice). Lets treat
guest mode as quiescent state, just like we do with user-mode execution.

Store the device saved state so that we can reload the device back
to the original state when it's unassigned. This has the benefit
that the state survives across pci_reset_function() calls via
the PCI sysfs reset interface while the VM is using the device.

For KVM device assignment, we'd like to save off the state of a device
prior to passing it to the guest and restore it later. We also want
to allow pci_reset_funciton() to be called while the device is owned
by the guest. This however overwrites and invalidates the struct pci_dev
buffers, so we can't just manually call save and restore. Add generic
interfaces for the saved state to be stored and reloaded back into
struct pci_dev at a later time.

Need to use it in _e1000e_disable_aspm. This routine is used for error
recovery, where the pci_bus_sem is already held, and we don't want
pci_disable_link_state to try to take it again. So add a locked variant
for use in cases like this.

map_info
The set_vpp() method provided by physmap passes a map_info back to
the platform code, which has little relevance as far as the platform
is concerned (this parameter is completely unused).
Instead, pass the platform_device, which can be used in the pismo
driver to retrieve some important information in a nicer way, instead
of the hack that was in place.
The empty set_vpp function in board-at572d940hf_ek.c is left untouched,
as the board/SoC is scheduled for removal.

Introduce SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION, which scales is added to
SCHED_LOAD_SHIFT and increases the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE. This patch sets the value of
SCHED_LOAD_RESOLUTION to 10, scaling up the weights for all
sched entities by a factor of 1024. With this extra resolution,
we can handle deeper cgroup hiearchies and the scheduler can do
better shares distribution and load load balancing on larger
systems (especially for low weight task groups).
This does not change the existing user interface, the scaled
weights are only used internally. We do not modify
prio_to_weight values or inverses, but use the original weights
when calculating the inverse which is used to scale execution
time delta in calc_delta_mine(). This ensures we do not lose
accuracy when accounting time to the sched entities. Thanks to
Nikunj Dadhania for fixing an bug in c_d_m() that broken fairness.
Below is some analysis of the performance costs/improvements of
this patch.
1. Micro-arch performance costs:
Experiment was to run Ingo's pipe_test_100k 200 times with the
task pinned to one cpu. I measured instruction, cycles and
stalled-cycles for the runs. See:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1129232/focus=1129389
for more info.
-tip (baseline):
Performance counter stats for '/root/load-scale/pipe-test-100k' (200 runs):
964,991,769 instructions # 0.82 insns per cycle
# 0.33 stalled cycles per insn
# ( +- 0.05% )

With this patch, instructions decrease by ~0.10% and cycles
increase by 0.27%. This doesn't look statistically significant.
The number of stalled cycles in the backend increased from
26.16% to 26.83%. This can be attributed to the shifts we do in
c_d_m() and other places. The fraction of stalled cycles in the
frontend remains about the same, at 26.96% compared to 26.89% in -tip.
2. Balancing low-weight task groups
Test setup: run 50 tasks with random sleep/busy times (biased
around 100ms) in a low weight container (with cpu.shares = 2).
Measure %idle as reported by mpstat over a 10s window.

SCHED_LOAD_SCALE is used to increase nice resolution and to
scale cpu_power calculations in the scheduler. This patch
introduces SCHED_POWER_SCALE and converts all uses of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE for scaling cpu_power to use SCHED_POWER_SCALE
instead.
This is a preparatory patch for increasing the resolution of
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE, and there is no need to increase resolution
for cpu_power calculations.

Currently the simple SPI I/O operations all take pointers to u8 * buffers
to operate on. This creates needless type compatibility issues and the
underlying spi_transfer structure uses void pointers anyway so convert the
API over to take void pointers too.

When one macvlan device is dismantled, we can avoid one
synchronize_rcu() call done after deletion from hash list, since caller
will perform a synchronize_net() call after its ndo_stop() call.
Add a new netdev->dismantle field to signal this dismantle intent.
Reduces RTNL hold time.

I touched this file when adding support for the "tilegx" sub-architecture,
and Andrew Morton observed "The file's a mismash of old-style, wrong-style
and right-style. There's no point in doing mishmash preservation!
May as well fix things up when we touch them."
Accordingly, this change makes <linux/compat.h> as checkpatch-clean
as possible. It makes no semantic changes whatsoever.

This fixes these build errors on powerpc:
In file included from arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c:18:
include/linux/signal.h:239: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list
include/linux/signal.h:239: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
include/linux/signal.h:240: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list
..
Exposed by commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular
list iterators"), which removed the include of <linux/prefetch.h> from
<linux/list.h>.
Without that, linux/signal.h no longer accidentally got the declaration
of 'struct task_struct'.
Fix by properly declaring the struct, rather than introducing any new
header file dependency.

will power the port off by setting DET to off. For occupied ports,
