This fixes the fbdev ioctl's and fbcon cursor management with the
console semaphore, which is the best we can do at this point in 2.6,
thus fixing a bunch of races where we could have, for example, tried to
blit while changing mode, etc..

Independently from the other fbdev updates I'm cooking (some of them
will be in your mailbox rsn), this fixes an error in parameter passing
to a function in rivafb (only used on ppc) that could cause an oops and
definitely causes a warning at compile time.

As of 2.6.3, restore_flags will no longer modify cwp on sparc.
Therefore you can apply this patch to the locking guide.

[ Indeed.  I'll also remove the atomic comments from Hacking
  Guide as part of my revision there when I get back to it.  --RR ]

arch/arm/kernel/time.c: Fix time_before type warning.
arch/arm/common/amba.c: Fix snprintf compiler warning.

Thus fixes the weird kconfig message "optimize || ?", it's an old debug
check and is triggered by the unusual dependency.  It's not incorrect,
but the solution below is better and it's the same FB_MATROX_I2C already
uses.

I'll send a fix for the kconfig message later.

This backs out James' sysfs support for fbdev again.  It introduces a
big, race for every driver not converted to framebuffer_{alloc,release}
(that is every driver but Ben's new radeonfb).

I've left in framebuffer_{alloc,release} as stubs so drivers can be
converted to it gradually and once all drivers are done it can be
enabled again.

Theres still more to do here, but at least the ifdef mess is gone. No
more checking for NULL before calling functions, that was playing with
fire. Oh yeah and lots more deletions :)

Clean up the debugger hooks, it was way too easy to screw up.
And we did. And Linus hit it.

- create CONFIG_DEBUGGER so we can enable kernel debugging options but not
  have any trace of debugger gunk.
- remove a bunch of xmon prototypes so no one gets the urge to call them
- Use die() instead of panic in a number of places, it gives us much better
  debug information.
- Get rid of the ifdef madness

Heres a patch I've had for a while, it removes a bunch of debugger code
which is good :) The next patch will sanitise it (and the rest of the
debugger hooks).

Various xmon cleanups

- recover from bad SPR read/write (we get a program check)
- remove some old code (bat and segment register stuff)
- update the help text to match reality
- add a "press ? for help" when xmon first appears to make rusty happy
- protect against flushing bad parts of memory from Milton
- dont print iseries specific stuff on pseries in SPR dump (S)
- add code to dump the segment table or SLB
- remove a number of functions that wouldnt work on LPAR

- Add thread_info to pointer, its a useful piece of information.
- Do the kallsyms lookup on the link register
- Remove extra newline on one call to die()

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Recent changes in include/linux/*.h meant that likely()
isn't defined here (since we don't set __KERNEL__), and thus
we don't get some prototypes and we can't use do_div.  This
fixes the resulting compile errors and warnings.

Remove %L handling from sprintf - we don't need it, and it
meant we needed do_div from asm/div64.h, which gives problems
when __KERNEL__ isn't defined.  Also add a prototype for
strlen to kill a warning.

and we do _not_ want the broken MACZILOG serial driver.

This turned what _should_ have been a nice
easy oops into a nightmare of debugging.

Kernel debuggers suck.

I missed a kfree -> framebuffer_release() in the new radeonfb.

Thanks to Luca for noticing it.

Some drivers need clear_user_page, is should be exported
