adfdebceac update Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt
Make note of the legacy "probe-the-hardware" drivers, and some APIs that
are mostly unused except by such drivers.  We probably can't escape having
legacy drivers for a while (e.g.  old ISA drivers), but we can at least
discourage this style code for new drivers, and unless it's unavoidable.

0a920b5b66 add a trivial patch style checker
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

cc4c24e115 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groups
The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released
in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in
order to get the attributes more organized.

This proved to be a really bad design decision.  Maybe if attribute groups
were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not
second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have
been so bad.

This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus
removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that
hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the
documentation.

These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to
maintain.

ae00d81243 ACPI: extend "acpi_osi=" boot option
The boot option "acpi_osi=" has always disabled Linux _OSI support,
thus disabling all OS Interface strings which are advertised
by Linux to the BIOS.

Now...
acpi_osi="string" adds the interface string, and
acpi_osi="!string" invalidates the pre-defined interface string

eg. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
would disable Linux's claim of Vista compatibility.

d9aca22cf4 libata: remove libata.spindown_compat
With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't
necessary anymore.  If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata
warns.  If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does
the right thing.  Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown
by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

83c6590cb8 gpio interface loosens call restrictions
Loosen gpio_{request,free}() and gpio_direction_{in,out}put() call context
restrictions slightly, so a common idiom is no longer an error: board init
code setting up spinlock-safe GPIOs before tasking is enabled.

The issue was caught by some paranoid code with might_sleep() checks.  The
legacy platform-specific GPIO interfaces stick to spinlock-safe GPIOs, so this
change reflects current implementations and won't break anything.

621e59a771 docbook: make kernel-locking table readable
Andi Kleen pointed out to me that the kernel locking cheat sheet
table entries are unreadable.

Make table entries smaller so that pdf and ps output is readable
(columns were being overwritten and garbled) by using abbreviations.
This allows the tables to fit on one page cleanly.
Add a Legend for the abbreviations:
  SLIS: spin_lock_irqsave
  SLI:  spin_lock_irq
  SL:   spin_lock
  SLBH: spin_lock_bh
  DI:   down_interruptible

eefaca9c32 SLUB: slabinfo fixes
Align the output of % with K/M/G of sizes.

Check for empty NUMA information to avoid segfault on !NUMA.

-r should work directly not only if we match a single slab
   without additional options.

current linus' tree still has my spelling mistake.  Here's a patch to
update it
