libata: always use polling SETXFER
Several people have reported LITE-ON LTR-48246S detection failed
because SETXFER fails. It seems the device raises IRQ too early after
SETXFER. This is controller independent. The same problem has been
reported for different controllers.
So, now we have pata_via where the controller raises IRQ before it's
ready after SETXFER and a device which does similar thing. This patch
makes libata always execute SETXFER via polling. As this only happens
during EH, performance impact is nil. Setting ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is
also moved from issue hot path to ata_dev_set_xfermode() - the only
place where SETXFER can be issued.
Note that ATA_TFLAG_POLLING applies only to drivers which implement
SFF TF interface and use libata HSM. More advanced controllers ignore
the flag. This doesn't matter for this fix as SFF TF controllers are
the problematic ones.

[AF_UNIX]: Fix datagram connect race causing an OOPS.
Based upon an excellent bug report and initial patch by
Frederik Deweerdt.
The UNIX datagram connect code blindly dereferences other->sk_socket
via the call down to the security_unix_may_send() function.
Without locking 'other' that pointer can go NULL via unix_release_sock()
which does sock_orphan() which also marks the socket SOCK_DEAD.
So we have to lock both 'sk' and 'other' yet avoid all kinds of
potential deadlocks (connect to self is OK for datagram sockets and it
is possible for two datagram sockets to perform a simultaneous connect
to each other). So what we do is have a "double lock" function similar
to how we handle this situation in other areas of the kernel. We take
the lock of the socket pointer with the smallest address first in
order to avoid ABBA style deadlocks.
Once we have them both locked, we check to see if SOCK_DEAD is set
for 'other' and if so, drop everything and retry the lookup.

[POWERPC] Fix ppc32 single-stepping out of syscalls
The ppc32 kernel didn't properly set/clear the TIF_SINGLESTEP
flag, causing return from syscalls to not SIGTRAP, thus executing
one more instruction before stopping again.
This fixes it. The ptrace code is a bit of a mess, and is overdue
for at least a -proper- 32/64 bits split and possibly more cleanups
but this minimum fix should be ok for 2.6.22

ACPICA: Support for external package objects as method arguments
Implemented support to allow Package objects to be passed as
method arguments to the acpi_evaluate_object interface. Previously,
this would return an AE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED exception.

ACPI: Section mismatch ... acpi_map_pxm_to_node
Last of the "Section mismatch" errors from ia64 builds! acpi_map_pxm_to_node()
is defined with attribute __cpuinit, but is called by "normal" kernel functions
acpi_getnode() and acpi_map_cpu2node().
Commit f363d16fbb9374c0bd7f2757d412c287169094c9 moved the data structures on
which this routine operates from __cpuinitdata to regular memory, so this
routine can also move out of init space.

[SCSI] aacraid: fix shutdown handler to also disable interrupts.
Moves quiesce, thread and interrupt shutdown into aacraid drivers'
.shutdown handler. This fix to the aac_shutdown handler will remove the
superfluous reset of the adapter during a (clean) kexec.
This fix may mitigate the active investigation 'kexec and aacraid
broken' but it is unlikely to affect the root cause (issue likely
present in both kexec and kdump). This patch reduces the chance the
problem will occur with a kexec. The fix for root cause is currently
expected to be the minimum value check to the aacraid.startup_timeout
driver variable after an adapter reset within aacraid_commit_reset.patch
submitted on 05/22/2007 and awaiting testing by Yinghai to confirm.

timer stats: speedups
Make timer-stats have almost zero overhead when enabled in the config but
not used. (this way distros can enable it more easily)
Also update the documentation about overhead of timer_stats - it was
written for the first version which had a global lock and a linear list
walk based lookup ;-)
