Add a generic add_preferred_console() to printk.c so that other
platforms, such as MIPS for example, can sanely fix this problem
as well.

Move some elements of task_struct into thread_info so that
these elements are locked into the TLB in the trap handlers
and thus will not cause a watchdog reset.

Use "sector_div()" to do the division, that's what it
exists for.

following my recent posts on libusb-devel and hidups, here's
a patch to disable hiddev support for MGE UPSs. It only
declares VID/PID as QUIRK_IGNORE in hid-core's blacklist.
This simply prevent hiddev to be loaded when plugging
an MGE UPS.

Actually how about this one instead?  The PEGASUS bit is the same.
The difference is that MII (and CRC32) are only attributed to the
driver code that needs those ... AX8817X needs both, ZAURUS just
needs CRC32.  The core (which should eventually become a separate
module) shouldn't depend on those modules at all.

Also both CDCETHER and AX8817X are marked as non-experimental;
I recall Dave Hollis submitted a patch to do that for AX8817X,
and CDCETHER now seems to have gotten enough success reports too.

This patch just adds TC86c001 (goku) UDC support to
the "ether.c" gadget driver.  This hardware supports
a full speed CDC Ethernet interface.

Small updates:

   - support TC86c001 (goku_udc) controller
   - simplify the per-controller configuration
   - add two vendor requests to test control-OUT
   - some minor fixes

As more people have been using this API, the need for some
clarifications has (no surprise!) came up.

Most significant is the halt processing, needed to make
Alan's "File Storage Gadget" (mass storage class, talks
to usb-storage and Windows) handle fault cases cleanly.
Gadget drivers can't halt IN endpoints until the FIFO is
emptied by the host ...  virtually no hardware tries to
sequence the DATA and STALL packets by itself.

hiddev is mistakenly returning empty hiddev_event structures for report
events. According to Documentation/usb/hiddev.txt, report events are
only sent when HIDDEV_FLAG_REPORT and HIDDEV_FLAG_UREF are both set.
Currently, report events from hid cause hiddev to generate empty
hiddev_event events when HIDDEV_FLAG_UREF is not set.

The errors will be reported by the code that started the request,
and printing out "sector numbers" for special requests makes no
sense. 

Noted by Nick Piggin, fix based on a patch by Linus.

I've done some additional cleanups: fixed a compilation warning on UP
and cleaned up the goto pick_next_task code.  Moved the 'unlikely' to
the test as a whole.

I've tested this patch and the context-switch stats look OK.

The BIOS may have left the USB controller in some strange
state, and we want to fully initialize it before we are
ready to handle interrupts.

if an error happens.

already registered or not. The x86 PCI layer wants this for
its availability testing.

Doing a request_irq()/free_irq() pair to check this condition
like we used to do can lock the machine if the irq happens to
be screaming.

Patch from Christopher Hoover

dev->irq and dev->skpcr_mask aren't initialized.  this makes the sa-1111 bus glue for the ohci driver fail.

Patch from Peter Teichmann

vidc_mksound causes the kernel to crash badly when executed. As it does not do anything useful I did not take the time to find out why, but removed it.

The vidc does have an external reference clock that is used to generate 44100/20050/10025kHz sample rates. The code is changed in a way that it uses that reference clock that can better approximate the desired clock.

If we can approximate the desired rate to more than 1/256 accuracy, we return the desired rate instead of the real rate. This is to assist using some programs that for instance believe they need exacly 8kHz which we can not have, but we can have 8.018kHz which is pretty close so that nobody would notice the difference.

Patch from Deepak Saxena

put_unaligned is defined as __put_unaligned_be() but we're missing the "__" at the beggining.

Patch from Dave Hylands.

The integrator code should have tested bits in INTEGRATOR_SC_VALID_INT
but instead it performed a logical AND.

When we set xtime at boot from the RTC, we weren't setting the
monotonic time offset.  This had the effect of making the uptime
rather large.

We get around this problem by using the do_settimeofday() to set
the current time.  do_settimeofday() knows about this issue, and
will apply the appropriate correction to the monotonic time offset
for us.
