Original patch from Stephen Hemminger

Move last bits of code out of irsyms and onto irmod.c where
initialization happens.

Move irda_debug parameter out of irsyms.c into irmod.c
and make it a new style module parameter.

irda_device_setup can now be static, only called from alloc_irdadev.

Also, make type __u16 rather than unsigned short to
match input parameter.

Also, make get_{saddr,daddr} inline and rename
lmp_reasons to irlmp_reasons.

This got fixed in 2.4, but somehow got missed in 2.6.

This is a cleaner fix for the previous bogon fix.

- Move free_block prototype, and ac_entry and ac_data functions up in file.

- Use list_for_each_entry in cpuup_callback.

- Remove unneccessary g_cpucache_up in cpuup_callback.

- Make reap_timer_func take CPU number as data, and check if that is
  offline before rescheduing (noop without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU).

Levent Serinol <levent.serinol@mynet.com> found that the hotplug cpu
patch broke Sparc64.  I introduced a num_possible_cpus(), which
Sparc64 already has.  Remove the Sparc64 one.

I also removed Sparc64's cpu_online() macro: it's in linux/cpumask.h
already.

Note that without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, online cpus == possible cpus, so
substitutions are a noop.

- Changes show_stat to print out stats for every possible cpu, not
  just online CPUs.

- Allocate mem in stat_open on possible, not online_cpus.

- Add conventient macros to cpu.h: especially cpu_is_offline() for
  testing if a cpu is still online.

- Add a num_possible_cpus() similar to num_online_cpus(), and define
  cpu_possible_mask for UP.

- Allow printk on down cpus once system is running.

- Mask cpumask with possible, not online cpus, for sys_getaffinity().

Extracts core of drain_pages() for hotcpu use.  Trivial.

Hotplug CPU needs to drain pages on a downed CPU (usually it's the
current cpu).  Introduce "__drain_pages", make the CPU an argument,
and expose it if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU as well as CONFIG_PM.

Promise driver uses a custom error handling function, so we need
the fix that was applied to the libata core:  the SCSI error
handling thread requires that we complete commands using a special
completion function, since the normal one doesn't work inside
the error handling thread.

The following patch is a very crude one to at least not make sata block
suspend-to-ram entirely. Probably you want more powermanagement handling as
well... but it's a start

The pcnet32 driver will hang after a few frames (<30) with the 79C971
(and probably the 79C972 though I don't have the hardware to prove it).
By interrupting slightly more frequently the hang will not occur.

Ok, found it.

It really looks like the new EISA probing code in hp100 never got
tested, since a precious offset has disappeared during the rewriting
process.

Please note that you still need to enable the device by hand, since
your BIOS (or maybe the EISA CFG file, since I'm seeing the exact same
problem on a Compaq machine here) doesn't properly enable the card.

Here is what I'm getting on my test system :

EISA: Probing bus 0 at 0000:00:0f.0
EISA: Mainboard CPQ0541 detected.
EISA: slot 1 : DEC4250 detected.
EISA: slot 2 : UNB0048 detected.
EISA: slot 3 : HWP1940 detected (forced enabled).
hp100: Using (slow) programmed i/o mode.
hp100: at 0x3c38, IRQ 3, EISA bus, 128k SRAM (rx/tx 75%).
hp100: Adapter is attached to 10Mb/s network (10baseT).
EISA: slot 4 : NVL0701 detected.

Now we've moved the bogolock code out to stop_machine.c and
generalized it a little, use it in module.c and delete the duplicate
code there.

The "bogolock" code was introduced in module.c, as a way of freezing
the machine when we wanted to remove a module.  This patch moves it
out to stop_machine.c and stop_machine.h.

Since the code changes affinity and proirity, it's impolite to hijack
the current context, so we use a kthread.  This means we have to pass
the function rather than implement "stop_machine()" and
"restart_machine()".

Committing a transaction creating a file required insuring that the
inode stayed in cache until the journal was written to.  i_count was
being incremented until the transaction was complete.

However, incrementing i_count caused fcntl(S_SETLEASE) to fail.  I
reworked the transaction code so that the inode does not have to
stay in-memory while the transaction is being committed.

Thanks to Steve French for figuring out why setlease was failing.
