This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.
Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because <linux/sched.h> is included in over
2,200 files ...

Use memdup_user to duplicate a memory region from user-space to
kernel-space, instead of open coding using kmalloc & copy_from_user.

With well over 200+ users of this api, there are a mere 12 users that
actually checked the return value of this function. And all of them
really didn't do anything with that information as the system or module
was shutting down no matter what.
So stop pretending like it matters, and just return void from
misc_deregister(). If something goes wrong in the call, you will get a
WARNING splat in the syslog so you know how to fix up your driver.
Other than that, there's nothing that can go wrong.

Ensure that the size filled in by userland in the datagram header
matches the size of the buffer passed down in the IOCTL. Note that we
account for the size of the header itself in the check.

(this is a resend of this patch. Originally sent last year, but post
appears to have been lost)
This change fixes two bugs in the VMCI host driver related to mapping
the notify boolean from user space into kernel space:
- the actual UVA was rounded up to the next page boundary - resulting
in memory corruption in the calling process whenever notifications
would be signalled. This has been fixed by just removing the
PAGE_ALIGN part, since get_user_pages_fast can figure this out on
its own
- the mapped page wasn't stored anywhere, so it wasn't unmapped and
put back when a VMCI context was destroyed. Fixed this by
remembering the page.

Convert vmci_host_setup_notify() and qp_host_get_user_memory() to use
get_user_pages_fast() instead of get_user_pages(). Note that
qp_host_get_user_memory() was using mmap_sem for writing without an
apparent reason.
