sysfs: use ilookup5() instead of ilookup5_nowait()
As inode creation is protected by sysfs_mutex, ilookup5_nowait()
always either fails to find at all or finds one which is fully
initialized, so using ilookup5_nowait() or ilookup5() doesn't make any
difference. Switch to ilookup5() as it's planned to be removed. This
change also makes lookup return value handling a bit simpler.

device model: Do a quickcheck for driver binding before doing an expensive check
This patch adds a quick check for the driver<->device match before
taking the locks and doin gthe expensive checks. Taking the lock hurts
in asynchronous boot context where the device lock gets hit; one of the
init functions takes the lock and goes to do an expensive hardware init;
the other init functions walk the same PCI list and get stuck on the
lock as a result.
For the common case, we can know there's no chance whatsoever of a match
if the device isn't in the drivers ID table... so this patch does that
check as a best-effort-avoid-the-lock approach.

sysfs: Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent
Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent
sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex.
This means that it cannot be called in atomic context.
sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir)
so it can block on low memory.
In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from
atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I
could be in the writeout path for freeing memory.
So:
- export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put
and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to
notify on and hold it in an md structure.
- split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent
can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).

Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.

I introduced "pnp_platform_devices", but I think it was a mistake.
All it tells us is whether we found any PNPBIOS or PNPACPI devices.
Many machines have some PNP devices, but do not describe the RTC

to find the RTC.
We should just register the PNP driver and see whether it claims anything.
If we don't find a PNP RTC, fall back to the platform driver probe.

powerpc/pci: Improve detection of unassigned bridge resources
When the powerpc PCI layer is not configured to re-assign everything,
it currently fails to detect that a PCI to PCI bridge has been left
unassigned by the firmware and tries to allocate resource for the
default window values in the bridge (0...X) (with the notable exception
of a hack we have in there that detects some Apple firmware unassigned
bridge resources).
This results in resource allocation failures, which are generally
fixed up later on but it causes scary warnings in the logs and we
have seen the fixup code fall over in some circumstances (a different
issue to fix as well).
This code improves that by providing a more complete & useful function
to intuit that a bridge was left unassigned by the firmware, and thus
force a full re-allocation by the PCI code without trying to allocate
the existing useless resources first.
The algorithm we use basically considers unassigned a window that
starts at 0 (PCI address) if the corresponding address space enable
bit is not set. In addition, for memory space, it considers such a
resource unassigned also if the host bridge isn't configured to
forward cycles to address 0 (ie, the resource basically overlaps
main memory).
This fixes a range of problems with things like Bare-Metal support
on pSeries machines, or attempt to use partial firmware PCI setup.

HID: fix a lockup regression when using force feedback on a PID device
Commit 8006479c9b75fb6594a7b746af3d7f1fbb68f18f introduced a spinlock in
input_dev->event_lock, which is locked when handling input events.
However, the hid-pidff driver sleeps when handling events as it waits for
reports being sent to the device before changing the report contents
again.
This causes a system lockup when trying to use force feedback with a PID
device, a regression introduced in 2.6.24 and 2.6.23.15.
Fix it by extracting the raw report data from struct hid_report
immediately when hid_submit_report() is called, therefore allowing
drivers to change the contents of struct hid_report immediately without
affecting the already-queued transfer.
In hid-pidff, re-add the removed usbhid_wait_io() to
pidff_erase_effect() instead, to prevent a full report queue from causing
the submission to fail, thus not freeing up device memory.
pidff_erase_effect() is not called while dev->event_lock is held.
hid_compat_load() runs on the default workqueue, it request_module(), it
execs modprobe, it exits, tty flushes default workqueue, it hangs, because
we are still in it.

HID: remove ignore quirk for MGE UPS devices
This patch reverts the change made four years ago here:
http://www.vg.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.4/usb-hid-2.4.25-pre7.patch
UPS's made by MGE can be used with usbhid just fine, and by removing the
ignore quirk allows them to be used with HAL so they just work when plugged
in, without needing to be manually configured.
With the ignore quirk in place a user would have to configure NUT before the
UPS could be used, as NUT uses it's own internal USB matching framework
to match against the USB devices, do low level control messages on the
device and then parse the HID tables all in userspace.
This is not needed, as allowing the device to be claimed as a usbhid device
allows it to be used like any other USB UPS device. The devices correctly
advertise the power device page which can be queried for the device state.
I assume the quirk was changed so that people using < libusb 0.1.8 could
still use NUT's internal HID code to manage the UPS.
libusb 0.1.8 was released quite some time ago: 2004-02-11.
This patch does not break NUT as in drivers/libusb.c the device is force
unbound from the kernel driver using usb_detach_kernel_driver_np () where
it can be controlled like normal.
