Via reading the code, my understanding is that powernow-k8 uses
preempt_disable to ensure that driver->target doesn't migrate across cpus
whilst it's accessing per processor registers, however set_cpus_allowed
will provide this for us.  Additionally, remove schedule() calls from
set_cpus_allowed as set_cpus_allowed ensures that you're executing on the
target processor on return.

The problem is in the ondemand governor, there is a periodic measurement
of the CPU usage. This CPU usage is updated by the scheduler after every
tick (basically, by adding 1 either to "idle" or to "user" or to
"system"). So if the frequency of the governor is too high, the stat
will be meaningless (as mostly no number have changed).

So this patch checks that the measurements are separated by at least 10
ticks. It means that by default, stats will have about 5% error (20
ticks). Of course those numbers can be argued but, IMHO, they look sane.
The patch also includes a small clean-up to check more explictly the
result of the conversion from ns to µs being null.

Let's note that (on x86) this has never been really needed before 2.6.13
because HZ was always 1000. Now that HZ can be 100, some CPU might be
affected by this problem. For instance when HZ=100, the centrino ,which
has a 10µs transition latency, would lead to the governor allowing to
read stats every tick (10ms)!

Fix unchecked __get_user that could be tricked into generating a

The problem is that we're now calling tcp_fragment() in a context
where the packets might be marked as SACKED_ACKED or SACKED_RETRANS.
This was not possible before as you never retransmitted packets that
are so marked.

Because of this, we need to adjust sacked_out and retrans_out in
tcp_fragment().  This is exactly what the following patch does.

We also need to preserve the SACKED_ACKED/SACKED_RETRANS marking
if they exist.

Debug features (DBFs) els_dbf, cmd_dbf and abt_dbf were removed and

change.
The new traces improve debugging of problems with zfcp, scsi-stack,
multipath and hardware in the SAN. san_dbf traces things like ELS and
CT commands, hba_dbf saves HBA specific information of requests, and
scsi_dbf saves FCP and SCSI specific information of requests. Common
to all new DBFs is that they provide a so called structured view. This
significantly improves readability of the traces.

Summary of Changes:
* splitting mpt_interrupt per Christophs suggestion
about a month ago
* rename ScsiCfgData to SpiCfgData structure,
then move all the raid related info into
new structure called RaidCfgData.  This is
done because SAS supports RAID, as well as SPI,
so the raid stuff should be seperate.
* incorrect timeout calculation for cntdn
inside WaitForDoorbellAck and WaitForDoortbellInt
* add support for interpreting SAS Log Info
* Increase Event Log Size from 0xA to 0x32
* Fix bug in mptsas/mptfc/mptspi - when controller
has Initiator Mode Disabled, and only running in
TargetMode, the mptctl would panic when loading.
The fix is to return 0, instead of -ENODEV, in
SCSI LLD respective probe routines
* Fix bug in mptlan.c - driver will panic if
there is host reset, due to dev being set to
zero in mpt_lan_ioc_reset
* Fix's for SPI - Echo Buffer
* Several fix's in mptscsih_io_done - FCP Response
info, RESIDUAL_MISMATCH, Data Underrun, etc.
* Cleanup Error Handling - EH handlers,
mptscsih_flush_cmds, and zeroing out ScsiLookup
from mptscsih_qcmd
* Cleanup asyn event handling from
mptscsih -> mptscsih_event_process.  Also
added support for SAS Persistent Table Full,
an asyn event

 - various bits for SAS support from the LSI driver.
 - use the device private data for the fusion target private data.
   this should be using the midlayer target data framework, but we
   can't move over to that until fusion has been switched to the
   generic DV code
 - use target ID and channel from the fusion target private data,
   because those in scsi_device will be different for mptsas

Basically, this extends original dp264 fixup to all dp264 variations.
Here is one minor change: mask out bits 4-7 of a value assigned by SRM,
because
- newer consoles report ISA IRQs with offset 0xe0;
- even if console IRQ value is bogus, we'll have a value < 16
  so it should be harmless as it won't clash with native IRQs.

Particularly this fixes USB interrupt problem on xp1000 and es40.

This patch (as545) fixes the list traversals in __scsi_remove_target and
scsi_forget_host.  In each case the existing code list_for_each_entry_safe
in an _unsafe_ manner, because the list was not protected from outside
modification while the iteration was running.

The new scsi_forget_host routine takes the moderately controversial step
of iterating over devices for removal rather than iterating over targets.
This makes more sense to me because the current scheme treats targets as
second-class citizens, created and removed on demand, rather than as
objects corresponding to actual hardware.  (Also I couldn't figure out any
safe way to iterate over the target list, since it's not so easy to tell
when a target has already been removed.)
