3ddfda1186 generic: add dyn_array support
Allow crazy big arrays via bootmem at init stage.
Architectures use CONFIG_HAVE_DYN_ARRAY to enable it.

usage:

| static struct irq_desc irq_desc_init __initdata = {
|        .status = IRQ_DISABLED,
|        .chip = &no_irq_chip,
|        .handle_irq = handle_bad_irq,
|        .depth = 1,
|        .lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(irq_desc->lock),
| #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
|        .affinity = CPU_MASK_ALL
| #endif
| };
|
| static void __init init_work(void *data)
| {
|        struct dyn_array *da = data;
|        struct  irq_desc *desc;
|        int i;
|
|        desc = *da->name;
|
|        for (i = 0; i < *da->nr; i++)
|                memcpy(&desc[i], &irq_desc_init, sizeof(struct irq_desc));
| }
|
| struct irq_desc *irq_desc;
| DEFINE_DYN_ARRAY(irq_desc, sizeof(struct irq_desc), nr_irqs, PAGE_SIZE, init_work);

after pre_alloc_dyn_array() after setup_arch(), the array is ready to be
used.

Via this facility we can replace irq_desc[NR_IRQS] array with dyn_array
irq_desc[nr_irqs].

72f22b1eb6 rtc-cmos: look for PNP RTC first, then for platform RTC
We shouldn't rely on "pnp_platform_devices" to tell us whether there
is a PNP RTC device.

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
via PNP.  On those machines, we need to do the platform driver probe
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.

This (in conjunction with the arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c patch to add
a platform RTC device when PNP doesn't have one) should resolve
these issues:

758a7f7bb8 x86: register a platform RTC device if PNP doesn't describe it
Most if not all x86 platforms have an RTC device, but sometimes the RTC
is not exposed as a PNP0b00/PNP0b01/PNP0b02 device in PNPBIOS or ACPI:

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451188

It's best if we can discover the RTC via PNP because then we know
which flavor of device it is, where it lives, and which IRQ it uses.

But if we can't, we should register a platform device using the
compiled-in RTC_PORT/RTC_IRQ resource assumptions.

Once kernel configuration has CONFIG_HID turned on, let also all the
specialized drivers for quirky devices to be built (unless CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
specified), as usually users don't care that much which driver
gives them the functionality, but when they want generic support, they
probably want to have support for all the quirky devices as well.

f129ea6d1e HID: fix a lockup regression when using force feedback on a PID device
Commit 8006479c9b 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.

66ebf66e49 HID: add support for Super Dual Box Pro USB PS2/PS2 adapter
This seems to be the very same device, as already supported Smartjoy
dual Plus, but with slightly different vendor ID. Let's support this
one too.

c0bd6a4298 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.

0f37cd0306 HID: introduce list for hiddev creation forcing
Introduce a list of devices for which there is need to
force a creation of the hiddev interface, but still they
are operated by generic driver (i.e. certain UPS).
