Updates for 2.5.56:
 - Integrate Stephen Rothwell's compat code
 - OProfile support for Randolph Chung
 - Makefile updates from Sam Ravnborg
 - Regenerated defconfig as requested by Rusty
 - Generic device model updates (James Bottomley)
 - And lots of general updating bugfixing, etc.

This patch by Hiroshi Miura adds a cpufreq driver for Cyrix MediaGX and
National Semiconductor Geode processors using "Suspend Modulation". It's
partly based on Zwane Mwaikambo's work.

This patch adds a sysfs interface to the cpufreq core, and marks the
previous /proc/cpufreq interface as deprecated.

As in drivers/base/cpu.c a "CPU driver" is registered, cpufreq acts as
"interface" to this, offering the following files for each CPU
(in /system/devices/sys/cpu.../) where CPUfreq support is present

cpuinfo_min_freq (ro)	- minimum frequency (in kHz) the CPU supports
cpuinfo_max_freq (ro)	- maximum frequency (in kHz) the CPU supports
scaling_min_freq (rw)	- minimum frequency (in kHz) cpufreq may scale
			     the CPU core to
scaling_max_freq (rw)	- maximum frequency (in kHz) cpufreq may scale
			     the CPU core to
scaling_governor (rw)	- governor == "A feedback device on a machine
			      or engine that is used to provide
			      automatic control, as of speed,
			      pressure, or temperature" [1, as noted
			      by David Kimdon]. Decides what frequency
			      is used. Currently, only "performance"
			      and "powersave" are supported, more may
			      be added later.

(In future, a file scaling_driver (ro) which shows what CPUfreq driver
is used (arm-sa1100,  gx-suspmod, speedstep, longrun, powernow-k6,
...) might be added, and this driver will be allowed to add files
scaling_driver_* for driver-specific settings like "prefer fast FSB".
And scaling_governor_* files might offer settings for the governor.)

To implement this sysfs interface, the driver model "interface" code
is used. Unfortunately, it has a non-trivial locking bug in
drivers/base/intf.c: there's a down_write call for
cls->subsys.rwsem in add_intf(), which then calls add(), which may call
intf->add_device(), which may call interface_add_data(), which calls
kobject_register(), which calls kobject_add(), which then tries to
down_write cls->subsys.rwsem. Remember, that was already locked writable
in add_intf().

Because of that, interface_add_data() is commented out; this means
that no link in /system/class/cpu/cpufreq is added, and that the
dev-removal code isn't called. This shouldn't be a problem yet,
though; as no cpufreq driver I know of is capable of CPU hotplugging.

When mounting a Linux partition with NFSv2, READDIR fills in the last
cookie without properly byte-swapping it.  The following READDIR will
fail, so the NFS client sees a truncated directory.

Fix it thus.

- Remove count and off parameters from per-node meminfo show() method.

- Remove count and off parameters from show() methods.
- Remove manual handling of reading from an offset, since the sysfs core
  handles that now. 
- Remove temp. buffer. 

- Remove count and off parameters from show() methods.
- Remove off parameter from store() methods.

Note 1: These have not been tested, but should be obviously correct.

Note 2: snprintf() was replaced with sprintf() where the filled buffer 
would obviously be < PAGE_SIZE. (like when printing single integer values).
In places where strings were printed, PAGE_SIZE is used as the max string
size.

- Reinstate count parameter for store() methods.
- Remove off parameter from st.c and osst.c sysfs methods.
- Remove count parameter from st.c and osst.c show() methods.

- Fixup struct device_attribute.
- Fix the default device attributes.

- Fixup bus, driver, and class methods.

- Fixup subsys_sysfs_ops along the way.

...instead of returning the error value (which is number of bytes remaining).

  - ISA PnP - removed isapnp_card_protocol reference
  - NE1000/2000 - fixed exit sequence and bugs in PnP code
  - aironet4500 - fixed exit sequence
  - ISDN - hisax_fcpcipnp - fixed compilation
  - OSS sound drivers - ad1848, cs4232 - updated to latest PnP code

As you mentioned, we do not correctly identify the P4-based Celeron in
the kernel configuration help.  Unfortunately, Intel has called all
Celeron products simply "Celeron", so we call these "P4-based Celerons".

Check for PnP BIOS in all fault paths, not just in do_trap().

A couple of occurrences of struct free_pte_ctx in include/asm-ppc/tlb.h
got missed in akpm's patch - this fixes them.

copy_from_user is supposed to transfer as much data as is
valid and then to return the number of bytes not tranferred.
That's how it works on x86.  On ppc it can be as much as 15
bytes short.

I initially saw the problem with the mount system call.

Note that the fifth argument to mount is an address 8 bytes from the end
of user data space.  There is a null byte at that address, since no mount
options are being passed.

In the kernel, sys_mount() allocates a page for the options and
does copy_from_user(new_page, 0x1005eff8, PAGE_SIZE).  copy_from_user
should copy 8 bytes and return (PAGE_SIZE-8).  Instead, on ppc it reads
8 bytes, faults, writes no bytes, and returns PAGE_SIZE, which causes the
EFAULT to be erroneously reported.
