Low level drivers may behave differently depending on the current
link->lpm_policy.  During ata_eh_set_lpm(), DIPM enable commands are
issued after the successful completion of ap->ops->set_lpm(), which
means that the controller is already in the target state.  This causes
DIPM enable commands to be processed with mismatching controller power
state and link->lpm_policy value.

In ahci, link->lpm_policy is used to ignore certain PHY events if LPM
is enabled; however, as DIPM commands are issued with stale
link->lpm_policy, they sometimes end up triggering these conditions
and get aborted leading to LPM configuration failure.

Fix it by updating link->lpm_policy before issuing DIPM enable
commands.

ata_qc_complete() contains special handling for certain commands.  For
example, it schedules EH for device revalidation after certain
configurations are changed.  These shouldn't be applied to EH
commands but they were.

In most cases, it doesn't cause an actual problem because EH doesn't
issue any command which would trigger special handling; however, ACPI
can issue such commands via _GTF which can cause weird interactions.

Restructure ata_qc_complete() such that EH commands are always passed
on to __ata_qc_complete().

pata_cs5536 does work on the other platforms(e.g. Loongson, a MIPS
variant), so, remove the dependency of X86_32 and fix the building
errors under the other platforms via only reserving the X86_32 specific
parts for X86_32.

pata_amd also supports cs5536 IDE controller, but this one saves about

While separating out BMDMA irq handler from SFF, commit c3b28894
(libata-sff: separate out BMDMA irq handler) incorrectly made
__ata_sff_port_intr() consider an IRQ to be an idle one if the host
state was transitioned to HSM_ST_ERR by ata_bmdma_port_intr().

This makes BMDMA drivers ignore IRQs reporting host bus error which
leads to timeouts instead of triggering EH immediately.  Fix it by
making __ata_sff_port_intr() consider the IRQ to be an idle one iff
the state is HSM_ST_IDLE.  This is equivalent to adding HSM_ST_ERR to
the "break"ing case but less error-prone.

If we are registering an i2c device that has a device tree node like
this real-world example:

      rtc@68 {
        compatible = "dallas,ds1337";
        reg = <0x68>;
      };

of_i2c_register_devices() will try to load a module called ds1337.ko.
There is no such module, so it will fail.  If we look in modules.alias
we will find entries like these:

.
.
.
alias i2c:ds1339 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1338 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1337 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1307 rtc_ds1307
alias i2c:ds1374 rtc_ds1374
.
.
.

The module we want is really called rtc_ds1307.ko.  If we request a
module called "i2c:ds1337", the userspace module loader will do the
right thing (unless it is busybox) and load rtc_ds1307.ko.  So we add
the I2C_MODULE_PREFIX to the request_module() string.

The default for non-READ_BACK GPIO regs is to have the clear bits set;
this means that our original errata fix was too simplistic.  This
changes it to the following behavior:

 - when setting GPIOs, ignore the higher order bits (they're for
   clearing, we don't need to care about them).

 - when clearing GPIOs, keep all the bits, but unset (via XOR) the
   lower order bit that negates the clear bit that we care about.  That
   is, if we're clearing GPIO 26 (val = 0x04000000), we first XOR what's
   currently in the register with 0x0400 (GPIO 26's SET bit), and then
   OR that with the GPIO 26's CLEAR bit.

The edge detect status GPIOs function differently from the other atomic
model CS5536 GPIO registers; writing 1 to the high bits clears the GPIO,
but writing 1 to the lower bits also clears the bit.

This means that read-modify-write doesn't actually work for it, so don't
apply the errata here.  If a negative edge status gets lost after
resume..  well, we tried our best!

The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned.  This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64.  Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload.  Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want.  So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages.  Space is reserved in the packet only when needed.  This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g.  2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems.  We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.

Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't.  This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding.  Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back.  Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.
