For drive side cable detection to work correctly, drives need to be
identified backwards such that the slave device releases PDIAG- before
the mater drive tries to detect cable type.  ata_bus_probe() was fixed
by commit f31f0cc2 but the new EH path
wasn't fixed.  This patch makes new EH path do IDENTIFY backwards.

ata_dev_configure() for new devices are still performed master first.
This is to keep the detection messages in forward order.

   There is a HW issue in ATI SB600 SATA that PxSERR.E should not be
set on some conditions, for example, when there is no media in SATA
CD/DVD drive or media is not ready, AHCI controller fails to execute
ATAPI commands and reports PORT_IRQ_TF_ERR, but ATI SB600 SATA
controller sets PxSERR.E at the
same time, which is not necessary.
    This patch is just to ignore the INTERNAL ERROR in such case.

This reverts commit 94985134 and
insteads removes the WARN_ON() that caused that commit in the first
place.

The problem is that we call disable_nonboot_cpus() in swsusp before
powering down the system in order to avoid triggering the WARN_ON()
in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() and this doesn't
work well on Thomas' system.

So instead, remove the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:
init_low_mapping(), which triggers every time during the suspend to disk
in the platform mode, as the potential problem it is related to doesn't
seem to occur in practice.

I2O subsystem has been broken in mainstream several months ago (after
2.6.18).  Commit 4aff5e23 from Jens
Axboe split struct request ->flags into two parts: cmd_type and
cmd_flags.

In i2o layer this patch has replaced flag REQ_SPECIAL by the according
cmd_type.  However i2o has used REQ_SPECIAL not as command type but as
driver-specific flag for the debug purposes.  As result all i2o requests
have type "special" now, are not processed to the hardware and fail with
I/O error:

   i2o/hda:<3>Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0
  Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0
  Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0
   unable to read partition table
  block-osm: device added (TID: 207): i2o/hda

The following patch removes the extra debug checks without any drawbacks and
restores the normal driver's work.

This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size.
 FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the
ptrace register file size.  MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way
to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be.

When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because
of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file.  The
patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future
problems here.

On Bob's machine clocksource is selecting PIT over the ACPI PM timer,
because he has the PIIX4 bug.  That bug drops the ACPI PM timers rating
to the same as the PIT, so that's why you're getting the PIT.

Realistically, the PIT is much slower then even the triple read ACPI PM,
so the de-ranking code is probably dropping it too far.

So don't drop ACPI PM quite so low if we see the PIIX4 bug.

Intel virtualization extensions do not support virtualizing real mode.  So
kvm uses virtualized vm86 mode to run real mode code.  Unfortunately, this
virtualized vm86 mode does not support the so called "big real" mode, where
the segment selector and base do not agree with each other according to the
real mode rules (base == selector << 4).

To work around this, kvm checks whether a selector/base pair violates the
virtualized vm86 rules, and if so, forces it into conformance.  On a
transition back to protected mode, if we see that the guest did not touch
a forced segment, we restore it back to the original protected mode value.

This pile of hacks breaks down if the gdt has changed in real mode, as it
can cause a segment selector to point to a system descriptor instead of a
normal data segment.  In fact, this happens with the Windows bootloader
and the qemu acpi bios, where a protected mode memcpy routine issues an
innocent 'pop %es' and traps on an attempt to load a system descriptor.

"Fix" by checking if the to-be-restored selector points at a system segment,
and if so, coercing it into a normal data segment.  The long term solution,
of course, is to abandon vm86 mode and use emulation for big real mode.
