Deleted unneeded verify_area calls.
Also commented a label.

Use get_user/put_user to check user addressing,
don't need to use verify_area also.

A while ago some guy complained that his server connections / sec was
way down due to AS. The server would fork a process which would then read
some tiny bit of random data and hang around for a while doing nothing.
This defeated all AS's heuristics, and due to a new process being a good
anticipation candidate by default, his performance went bad.

The fix was just to treat new processes as being unsuitable for
anticipation. Fixed. Unfortunately ls, cat, grep, small programs
starting up, find | xargs, etc only submit a couple of requests, and they
really want anticipation to be on.

This patch keeps a simple goodness value per queue based on how successful
anticipation has been for new processes.

Clears the next_arq cache if a request is repositioned and added as an alias
behind another.  Should fix the BUGs which Mary Edie Meredith has been
reporting.

Also, fixes a few random (but harmless) cases where last_merge was being set
and causing warnings.

When 2 requests are merged, and one is thrown away, move its alias list onto
the merged request! This is likely to be the cause of Mary's hangs.

       grabbing of the pads, as well as simplifies the mousedev driver.

       The infoRot180 and infoPortrait bits are for information
       only. The touchpad uses the same X/Y coordinate system
       regardless of the orientation, so the software shouldn't
       care about these bits.

       untranslating to the AT keyboard driver as well. Lower
       PS/2 mouse default report rate. Fix repeat rate adjustment
       ioctls accordingly, and update other files to reflect the
       changes. This should fix most known keyboard problems in 2.6.

       support to mousedev.

       uses the variable.
