This documents how this member is used in two
ways, 1) as a pointer to a user ioctx and 2)
as a pointer to a task struct to wake up.

ioctl structure annotated

	The rest of ->ifr_data cleanups.  A bunch of drivers use address
of ifr->ifr_ifru, but spell that as &ifr->ifr_data, which expands to
&ifr->ifr_ifru.ifru_data.  ifr_ifru is a union and in effect they sneak in
a private field into that union; ifr_ifru.ifru_data is a field in that
union and it has nothing to do with the things they want to do.  Cleaned
up by explicit use of &ifr->ifr_ifru.

	Several places where we really use ->ifr_data (i.e. use its value
and use it as __user pointer) annotated.

From: Jeff Garzik

	Jeff's patch adds a helper for obtaining mii_ioctl_data from ifreq
and switches drivers to it.  It's almost a "move common expression into
inline helper", except that instead of

	(struct mii_ioctl_data *)&rq->ifr_ifru.ifru_data

it does

	(struct mii_ioctl_data *)&rq->ifr_ifru

- pointer to union instead of pointer to a field of union that has nothing
to do with mii_ioctl_data *and* adds confusion by being a pointer itself.

Here's an additional patch for ipvs, which also mangles packets via 
netfilter and was previously depending on the checksum helper in 
nf_hook_slow().

assorted minor bits in drivers/* - all independent, but there's
some limit to splitting stuff...

several pointers in ioctl structures marked as userland ones.

And that's it with this patchset.  A couple more of those and we'll
be done with the noise warnings ;-)

s2io.c: bogus initializer ({{"a"},{"b"}} has too many braces for
two-dimensional array of char - strings are arrays themselves).

de4x5.h: missing __user on a pointer in ioctl structure. 

airo.c: cleaned up and fixed procfs ->read() and ->write()

osst.c, st.c, scsi_debug.c annotated.

selinuxfs.c annotated

	b44.c: ->ioctl() is broken, since it uses &ifr->ifr_data instead of
ifr->ifr_data itself.  Surprise, surprise, copy_from_user() on that address
doesn't do any good...

	baycom_epp.c: does get_user() of the first word of structure, then
immediately does copy_from_user() on the entire thing and completely ignores
the value read by get_user() (it uses the same value in copied structure
instead).  Bogus get_user() call removed.

->ifr_data users annotated.

Some code that is used on iSeries (do_hash_page_DSI in head.S) was
clearing the RI (recoverable interrupt) bit in the MSR when it
shouldn't.  We were getting SLB miss interrupts following that which
were panicking because they appeared to have occurred at a bad place.
This patch fixes the problem.  In fact it isn't necessary for
do_hash_page_DSI to do anything to RI, so the patch changes the code
to not set or clear it.
