Fix a small memory leak in ubd_config, and clearify the confusion which lead
to it.
Then, some little changes not affecting operations -
* move init functions together,
* add a comment about a potential problem in case of some evolution in the block layer,
* mark all initcalls as static __init functions
* mark an used once little function as inline
* document that mconsole methods are all called in process context (was
triggered when checking ubd mconsole methods).

do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a
leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is
suspicious, but removing it would be too intrusive for now and needs more

Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use.
When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host,
which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host)
has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves
(do_ubd_request).
We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against
concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on.
XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on
this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly"
does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function
return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface).
Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context;
beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some
generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So the
only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock. No other
change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done
afterwards.

To rethink locking, I needed to understand well what each function does.
While doing this I renamed some:
* ubd_close -> ubd_close_dev (since it pairs with ubd_open_dev)
* ubd_new_disk -> ubd_disk_register (it handles registration with the block
layer - one hopes this makes clearer the difference with ubd_add())

* when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes
mc_work_proc(). Would be better to see what we had at the time of
interrupt that got us stop.
* stop/stop/stop..... will give stack overflow. Shouldn't allow stop
from mconsole_stop().
* stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with
os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0);
reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ);
just done by nested mconsole_stop(). Ditto.
* once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed
out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly
enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to
block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like
"cad" to be executed immediately). Once we enter monsole_stop(), all
INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones. We'd
better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened.
(Suggested by lennert).
* stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can
safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

When enabling the mmapper driver I got warnings because this "const"
miscdevice structure is passed to function as non-const pointer; unlike struct
tty_operations, however, I verified that misc_{de,}register _do_ modify their
parameter, so this const attribute must be removed.
Since the purpose of the change was to guarantee that no lock was needed, add

Freeing the stack is left uselessly to the caller of run_helper in some cases
- this is taken from run_helper_thread, but here it is useless, so no caller
needs it and the only place where this happens has a potential leak - in case
of error neither run_helper() nor xterm_open() call free_stack(). At this
point passing a pointer is not needed - the stack pointer should be passed
directly, but this change is not done here.

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE

Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from
setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC,
either from the command line or generated randomly:
the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code
dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional
setup_etheraddr can now be made void
struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be
similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1
struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed
struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so
it is always 1
tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed
uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed
the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted
It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same
file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h.
Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file.
Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward
declarations.

Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.
Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.
There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be
used.
However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with
rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens.
Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network
layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the
interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is
not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock. Who says this is
guaranted really by the present code?

-mm in combination with an FC5 init started dying with 'stderr=1' because init
didn't like the lack of /dev/console and exited. The problem was that the
stderr console, which is intended to dump printk output to the terminal before
the regular console is initialized, isn't a tty, and so can't make
/dev/console operational.
However, since it is registered first, the normal console, when it is
registered, doesn't become the preferred console, and isn't attached to
/dev/console. Thus, /dev/console is never operational.
This patch makes the stderr console unregister itself in an initcall, which is
late enough that the normal console is registered. When that happens, the
normal console will become the preferred console and will be able to run
/dev/console.
