This updates generic HDLC from 1.14 to 1.15.

 - fix a kernel panic caused by a recent change to unregister_netdevice()
   (struct net_device * can't be kfreed before rtnl_unlock())
 - adds carrier_* support - hw drivers report DCD status and higher level
   protocols use that info, and do netif_carrier_{on,off}() according to
   DCD and (Cisco and FR) link management status.
 - moves Frame-Relay constants etc. from include/linux/hdlc.h to hdlc_fr.c.
   They are internal FR things and are not needed in the global header.
 - protocol hooks are slighty changed to allow zeroing (memset).
 - removes CONFIG_HDLC_DEBUG_* variables. Users tend to make very wrong
   use of them. Now setting them requires changing .c #define. Anyway they
   are development-only things.
 - misc style corrections etc.

Forward-port of 2.4.21-ac4 patch by Wilfried Weissmann.

ide_get_or_set_dma_base() may be called via ide_setup_pci_device()
when a PCI controller module is loaded.  However, it is defined with __init
and the function is called when its memory is already deallocated.

 misc:      - Consolidate and make consistent, the NODE_BUS_{FMT,ARGS}
	      macros.
	    - Add HPSB_VERBOSE() macro to make VERBOSEDEBUG code a
	      little cleaner.
 ieee1394 : - Replace panic() with BUG and return value in dma routine.
	    - Reset reset_retries on success or loop recover.
	    - Add RECV_FLUSH to flush buffers on > 1 irq interval or in
	      buffer-fill mode.
	    - Probe logic-unit-subdirectories as children of the
	      unit-dir.
	    - Fix compile warning in nodemgr thread.
	    - Replace tightly scheduled timeout loop with a 50ms timer.
	    - Better return and usage of BUG_ON() in dma handler.
	    - Calculate timeout expiry interval at change instead of at
	      every timeout check.
 SBP2     : - Fix logical-unit-directory LUN's.
	    - Remove procfs interface.
	    - Fix usage of initdata after init.
 Host con : - Change irq output to use __irq_itoa() for sparc.
	    - Do more to notify bus when module is unloaded, to clear
	      IRM, etc.
 ohci1394 : Fix endianess of async stream packet headers.

Here's the patch to enable failfast flag in the bio submission code, and
use it for multipath and readahead.

Long overdue, make James the listed maintainer. He _is_ doing the
maintenance, lets put him on the front line :-)

A recent change moved the tcq init too early in the init sequence, the
queue isn't initialized at this point which causes the task file
executions to kill elevator with a NULL EIP (->add_req_fn()).  This
patch fixes it, acked by Bart.

- Move varions controller datums into pbm structure.
- Add controller type/version/revision info to pbm structure.
- SCHIZO/TOMATILLO fixes:
  - Treat PBM etc. register bases as PBM local.
  - Use PBM prom node ranges property to figure out where
    CFG/MEM/IO space physical bases are.

The module load code adds a reference to the owner field before calling
the modules init function so it isn't necessary for the init function
to do a similar action.

Module init methods are called with a reference already taken by the
module code so the MOD_*_USE_COUNT can be deleted.
