The ioctl number-generating macros should be used like

	#define XXXX _IOR(n,x,type-of-arg)

which generates an ioctl number that has the size of the argument
encoded within it.  But there are a number of ioctl #defines that look
like

	#define XXXX _IOR(n,x,sizeof(type-of-arg))

which is very wrong: the _IO/_IOR/_IOW/_IOWR macros will do the sizeof()
on the argtype themselves, so the end result is that we will be doing a
sizeof(sizeof(argtype)), ie a sizeof(size_t).

In other words, the argtype didn't matter at all, and ended up totally
pointless.

Clearly it's too late to change the ioctl definitions, but we can at
least stop people from copying them and making the same mistake.

I looked a bit more at the keyboard code and find a bug
and a probable bug.

(i) In case a synaptics touchpad has been detected, the comment says
    "disable AUX".  But we do not set the disable bit, but instead .and.
    with the bit - no doubt getting zero.  This must be a bug. 

(ii) Directly above this is the suspicious comment "keyboard translation
     seems to be always off".  But every machine comes always up in
     translated scancode 2.  Translation is never off.  But wait! by
     mistake the above .and.  cleared the XLATE bit.

So, I think bug (i) explains mystery (ii).

However, note that this is code reading only.  I do not have the
hardware, so cannot test.

Dmasound: Use try_module_get()/module_put() instead of methods calling
MOD_{IN,DE}C_USE_COUNT (from Christoph Hellwig)

Dmasound core fixes from Christoph Hellwig:
  - Some exported symbols are declared __init - in the modular case this is
    freed before the other modules can call it..
  - dmasound.lock is initialized too late, do it at compile time

Hugh Dickins caught this confusion between the ret variable in outer
scope (holding the fd) and the return value of f_setown.  Rename inner
"ret".

This fixes two buts that the glibc NPTL verification tests found, one
new and one old.

The new bug is that "offset" has been declared as an alternative in
the union, instead of as an element in the structures comprising it,
effectively eliminating it from the key: keys match which should not.

The old bug is that if futex_requeue were called with identical
key1 and key2 (sensible? tended to happen given the first bug),
it was liable to loop for a long time holding futex_lock: guard
against that, still respecting the semantics of futex_requeue.

While here, please let's also fix the get_futex_key VM_NONLINEAR
case, which was returning the 1 from get_user_pages, taken as an
error by its callers.  And save a few bytes and improve debuggability
by uninlining the top-level futex_wake, futex_requeue, futex_wait.

Noticed by Tejun Huh <tejun@aratech.co.kr>.

This patch fixes a race condition between the pcmcia socket initial
insert processing, ds.c and cardmgr.  This allowed cardmgr to believe
that a card was inserted while the card is still in the process of
resetting itself, and it therefore tried to read the CIS while it
was unavailable.

We change the meaning of SOCKET_PRESENT slightly - it now means that
a card is present _and we have completed its initialisation_.  We
introduce SOCKET_INUSE to indicate that we have a reference count
against the module.

We also take the skt_sem to prevent clients from registering while
we're handling an insert/remove/suspend/resume.

socket references are pointers, not integers.
