Don't log machine check events left over from boot. Too many BIOSes leave
bogus events in there.
This unfortunately also makes it impossible to log events that caused a
reboot. For people with non broken BIOS there is mce=bootlog

no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets
(like some VIA) with these behaviors:
1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to
handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force
it to 0, to reenable (not recommended).
2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a
workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c

- Fixed some bttv card numbers.
- BTTV and SAA7134 version numbers incremented to reflect changes.
- pci_dma_supported() is called after pci_set_dma_mask() which
already did check that for us. This patch removes the unneeded call to
pci_dma_supported() at bttv-driver.c
- Ensure a sufficient I2C bus idle time between 2 messages for
saa7134-i2c.c
- It is important to write at first to MO_GP3_IO for cx88-tvaudio.c
- Use try_to_freeze() instead of refrigerator at msp3400.c
- Recognizing the MFPE05-2 Tuner at tveeprom.c
- Add new parameter to help identify radio chipsets at tuner module:
show_i2c=1 will show 16 reading bytes from detected tuners.
- BTTV does generate some Unimplemented IOCTL log at tuner module:
0x40046d11(dir=1,tp=0x6d,nr=17,sz=4) means that it is sending
MSP3400 calls to non-msp3400 tuners. Warning eliminated.
VIDIOSAUDIO is also called, so debug messages updated. It is still
requiring IOCTL implementation.
- Added two more tuners.
- Add support for the SVideo input on the GDI Black Gold.

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

Make usbmon to print Setup packets of Control transfers. This is useful
when debugging enumeration issues.
This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.
A parser has to look at the data length word now. If that word is
a character like 's', read setup packet before proceeding with data.
I decided not to bump the API tag for this because not many such
parsers exist at this point.

The I2C stack has long had "id" fields, of rather dubious utility, in
many data structures. This removes mention of one of them from the
documentation about how to write an I2C driver, so that only drivers
that really need to use them (probably old/legacy code) will have any
reason to use this field.
