0af48f42df x86: cpa_flush_array wbinvd should be done on all CPUs
cpa_flush_array seems to prefer wbinvd() over clflush at 4M threshold.
clflush needs to be done on only one CPU as per instruction definition.
wbinvd() however, should be done on all CPUs.

[ Impact: fix missing flush which could cause data corruption ]

0b827537e3 x86: bugfix wbinvd() model check instead of family check
wbinvd is supported on all CPUs 486 or later. But,
pageattr.c is checking x86_model >= 4 before wbinvd(), which looks like
an oversight bug. It was first introduced at one place by changeset
d7c8f21a8c and got copied over to second
place in the same file later.

619ac3b75a drm/i915: Use an I2C algo to do the flip to SDVO DDC bus.
Previously, we would set the control bus switch before calls were made
to request EDID information over DDC.  But recently the DDC code started
doing multiple I2C transfers to get the EDID extensions as well.  This
tripped up SDVO, because the control bus switch is only in effect until
the next STOP after a START.  By doing our own algo, we can wrap each i2c
transaction on the DDC I2C bus with the control bus switch it requires.

ad5b2a6db3 drm/i915: Determine type before initialising connector
drm_connector_init sets both the connector type and the connector type_id
on the newly initialised connector.  As the connector type_id is coupled to
the connector type, the connector type cannot simply be modified on an
initialised connector.

This patch changes the order of operations on intel_sdvo_init so that the
type is determined before the connector is intialised.

This fixes a bug whereby the name card0-VGA-1 would be allocted to both a
CRT and an SDVO connector since the SDVO connector would be initialised
with type 'unknown' and hence have its type_id assigned from the wrong pool.

bca23dba76 x86, setup: revert ACPI 3 E820 extended attributes support
Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support.  At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24.  This bug may be present in other BIOSes.

The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence.  Therefore, drop support completely.  We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.

This reverts all or part of the following checkins:

     cd670599b7
     c549e71d07

However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround.  Put in a
comment to explain that part.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some
additional information.

It is possible for ide-cd to ignore ide_error()'s return value under
some circumstances.  Workaround it in ide_intr() and ide_timer_expiry()
by checking if there is a device/port reset pending currently.

8369d5fa63 ide: fix 40-wire cable detection for TSST SH-S202* ATAPI devices (v2)
Since 2.6.26 we support UDMA66 on ATAPI devices requiring IVB quirk:

  commit 8588a2b732
  ("ide: add SH-S202J to ivb_list[]")

We also later added support for more such devices in:

  commit e97564f362
  ("ide: More TSST drives with broken cable detection")

and in:

  commit 3ced5c49bd
  ("ide: add TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202H to ivb_list[]")

It turns out that such devices lack cable detection altogether
(which in turn results in incorrect detection of 40-wire cables
by our current cable detection strategy) so always handle them
by trusting host-side cable detection only.

v2:
Model detection fixup from Martin.

e069c0cf7c wimax/i2400m: usb: fix device reset on autosuspend while not yet idle
When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB)
cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have
negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state.

If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected
but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that.

To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver
to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet
idle. If it is not, the request is rejected (will be retried again
later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will
enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is
network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the
link or the host interface).

2138422bba powerpc: Use sg->dma_length in sg_dma_len() macro on 32-bit
Currently, the 32-bit code uses sg->length instead of sg->dma_lentgh
to report sg_dma_len.  However, since the default dma code for 32-bit
(the dma_direct case) sets dma_length and length to the same thing,
we should be able to use dma_length there as well.  This gets rid of
some 32-vs-64-bit ifdefs, and is needed by the swiotlb code which
actually distinguishes between dma_length and length.

45db924089 powerpc/spufs: Remove double check for non-negative dentry
This patch removes an unnecessary double check if the dentry returned by
lookup_create() is actually non-negative. Since lookup_create() itself returns
an error in this case just remove the check.

8d165db107 powerpc: Improve decrementer accuracy
I have been looking at sources of OS jitter and notice that after a long
NO_HZ idle period we wakeup too early:

relative time (us)    event
                      timer irq exit
    999946.405        timer irq entry
         4.835        timer irq exit
        21.685        timer irq entry
         3.540          timer (tick_sched_timer) entry

Here we slept for just under a second then took a timer interrupt that did
nothing. 21.685 us later we wake up again and do the work.

We set a rather low shift value of 16 for the decrementer clockevent, which I
think is causing this issue. On this box we have a 207MHz decrementer and see:

clockevent: decrementer mult[3501] shift[16] cpu[0]

For calculations of large intervals this mult/shift combination could be
off by a significant amount. I notice the sparc code has a loop that iterates
to find a mult/shift combination that maximises the shift value while
keeping mult under 32bit. With the patch below we get:

clockevent: decrementer mult[35015c20] shift[32] cpu[15]

And we no longer see the spurious wakeups.

9aa4e7b169 powerpc/pci: Remove redundant pcnet32 fixup
The pcnet32 driver has had in its device id table for some time a match
against the "broken" vendor ID.  No need to fake out the vendor ID
with an explicit fixup.

cf6692c07a powerpc/pci: Cleanup some minor cruft
* Removed building setup-irq on ppc32, we don't use it anymore
* Remove duplicate prototype for setup_grackle() code that needs it
  gets it from <asm/grackle.h>
* Removed gratuitous pci_io_size type differences between ppc32/ppc64

2eb4afb69f powerpc/pci: Move pseries code into pseries platform specific area
There doesn't appear to be any specific reason that we need to setup the
pseries specific notifier in generic arch pci code.  Move it into pseries
land.
