cfq-iosched: don't let idling interfere with plugging
When CFQ is waiting for a new request from a process, currently it'll
immediately restart queuing when it sees such a request. This doesn't
work very well with streamed IO, since we then end up splitting IO
that would otherwise have been merged nicely. For a simple dd test,
this causes 10x as many requests to be issued as we should have.
Normally this goes unnoticed due to the low overhead of requests
at the device side, but some hardware is very sensitive to request
sizes and there it can cause big slow downs.

i2c: imx: Make disable_delay a per-device variable
'disable_delay' was static which is wrong as it is calculated using the per-device

This patch makes the I2C bus speed configurable by using the I2C node
property "clock-frequency". If the property is not defined, the old
fixed clock settings will be used for backward comptibility.
The generic I2C clock properties, especially the CPU-specific source
clock pre-scaler are defined via the OF match table:
The "data" field defines the relevant I2C setclock function and the
relevant pre-scaler for the I2C source clock frequency.
It uses arch-specific tables and functions to determine resonable
Freqency Divider Register (fdr) values for MPC83xx, MPC85xx, MPC86xx,
MPC5200 and MPC5200B.
The i2c->flags field and the corresponding FSL_I2C_DEV_* definitions
have been removed as they are obsolete.

The platform data for the i2c-s3c2410 driver used to allow a min,
max and desired frequency for the I2C bus. This patch reduces it
to simply a desired frequency ceiling and corrects all the uses
of the platform data appropriately.
This means, for example, that on a system with a 66MHz fclk, a
request for 100KHz will achieve 65KHz which is safe and
acceptable, rather than 378KHz which it would have achieved
without this change.

This was an impressively stupid patch. Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC

better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so
it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which
refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

The request inherits the unplug flag from the bio, but it isn't actually
used. The bio flag stops at __make_request(), which tells it to unplug
after submission. Passing it on to the request doesn't make any sense.
cfq-iosched: change dispatch logic to deal with single requests at the time
The IO scheduler core calls into the IO scheduler dispatch_request hook
to move requests from the IO scheduler and into the driver dispatch
list. It only does so when the dispatch list is empty. CFQ moves several
requests to the dispatch list, which can cause higher latencies if we
suddenly have to switch to some important sync IO. Change the logic to
move one request at the time instead.
This should almost be functionally equivalent to what we did before,
except that we now honor 'quantum' as the maximum queue depth at the
device side from any single cfqq. If there's just a single active
cfqq, we allow up to 4 times the normal quantum.

mflash: initial support
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux.
Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer
electronic devices.
Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2
different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new driver
and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's one
chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
IDE interface.
Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
write confirm)
B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.
This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of
following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer.
1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol. ATA layer have many low-
level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule.
But, mflash IO mode doesn't.
2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has
some custom command and modes. (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If
this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered.
3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt.
(I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for
debug).
4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product. Even though some company
already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for
standardization of custom command and mode. That time (maybe October)
I will talk to with ATA people. If they accept integration, I will
integrate.

VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its

altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on

The (relatively) new pmac_zilog driver doesn't use the pre-munged

directly maps it off the OF device-tree.
It does that because it can be initialized much earlier than the

Unfortunately, that means that it "misses" some fixups done
by the macio layer to work around missing interrupt descriptions
in the device-tree of the Wallstreet machines.
