Also make compilation of this misc proc stuff not compile/link if
CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set. Now to seq_file this routines.

Now that the devicemapper hit the tree there's no more reason
to keep the uncompiling LVM1 code around and it's various hacks
to other files around, this patch removes it.

	* first application of the fact that block device methods are
per-disk and not per-major - IDE subdrivers got block_device_operations
of their own, redirects in ide.c are gone, so is a bunch of methods of
IDE subdrivers.

	* ide_..._ioctl() never use two of five arguments - inode and file.
Arguments removed.

	This chunk and the next one basically do equivalent of sard in the
right way - counters are exported per-disk in driverfs, as attributes of
disk or partition nodes.

	* do_open() cleaned up
	* we always pick block_device_operations from gendisk->fops now
	* register_blkdev() just stores the name of driver, nothing more
	* ->bd_op and ->bd_queue removed - we have that in gendisk
	* get_blkfops() is gone

	* we move allocation of gendisks in ide-probe to the moment when
queues are set up, so everything that wants to feed requests in one of
IDE queues can safely set ->rq_disk

	* per-major array eliminated, every disk is a separate source of
randomness

	* remove blk_dev[]
	* removed BLK_DEFAULT_QUEUE
	* moved definition of CURRENT into drivers that used it
	* removed definition of QUEUE from headers

	* compile fixes
	* switched to private queue
	* set ->queue

	* killed uses of CURRENT and QUEUE

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue

	* killed remaining CURRENT

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue and ->private_data
	* switched to use of ->bd_disk and ->rq_disk
	* cleaned up

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue and ->private_data
	* switched to use of ->bd_disk and ->rq_disk
	* folded recalibrate[] and special_op[] into hd_info[]
	* switched to passing pointers instead of indices
	* cleaned up

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue and ->private_data
	* switched to use of ->bd_disk and ->rq_disk
	* fixed the problem with request_module() from open()
	* cleaned up

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue and ->private_data
	* switched to use of ->bd_disk and ->rq_disk
	* somewhat cleaned up

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue and ->private_data
	* switched to use of ->bd_disk

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue
	* cleaned up

	* switched to private queues
	* set ->queue
	* cleaned up

From Dipankar

I missed sparc64 when I broke up read_barrier_depends in -mm and sent
to Linus.  Please apply this to your tree until Linus is back and I can
fix it.

Patch from Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com>

There is a check in RCU for idle CPUs which signifies quiescent state
(and hence no reference to RCU protected data) which was broken when
interrupt counters were changed to use thread_info->preempt_count.

Martin's 32 CPU machine with many idle CPUs was not completing any RCU
grace period because RCU was forever waiting for idle CPUs to context
switch.  Had the idle check worked, this would not have happened.  With
no RCU happening, the dentries were getting "freed" (dentry stats
showing that) but not getting returned to slab.  This would not show up
in systems that are generally busy as context switches then would
happen in all CPUs and the per-CPU quiescent state counter would get
incremented during context switch.

This patch fixes a filesystem corrupting bug, present in 2.5.41 through
2.5.44.  It can cause ext2 indirect blocks to not be written out.  A
fsck will fix it up.

Under heavy memory pressure a PF_MEMALLOC task attemtps to write out a
blockdev page whose buffers are already under writeback and which were
dirtied while under writeback.

The writepage call returns -EAGAIN but because the caller is
PF_MEMALLOC, the page was not being marked dirty again.

The page sits on mapping->clean_pages for ever and it not written out.

The fix is to mark that page dirty again for all callers, regardless of
PF_MEMALLOC state.
