Done. See patch below.

Remove unused function 'mf_getSrcHistory' (that will never be used
ever according to Stephen Rothwell) and also remove most of (under 'if
0') code from mf_src_proc_show() where the function was called.

Hi,

We can get rid of a memset in
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/lscsa_alloc.c::spu_alloc_lscsa_std() by
using vzalloc() rather than vmalloc()+memset().

Completely untested patch below since I have no hardware nor tools to
compile this.

Create sysfs interface to export data from H_BEST_ENERGY hcall
that can be used by administrative tools on supported pseries
platforms for energy management	optimizations.

sys/device/system/cpu/pseries_(de)activate_hint_list and
sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint will provide
hints for activation and deactivation of cpus respectively.

These hints are abstract number given by the hypervisor based
on the extended knowledge the hypervisor has regarding the
system topology and resource mappings.

The activate and the deactivate sysfs entry is for the two
distinct operations that we could do for energy savings.  When
we have more capacity than required, we could deactivate few
core to save energy.  The choice of the core to deactivate
will be based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/deactivate_hint_list.
The comma separated list of cpus (cores) will be the preferred
choice.  If we have to activate some of the deactivated cores,
then /sys/devices/system/cpu/activate_hint_list will be used.

The per-cpu file
/sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint further
provide more fine grain information by exporting the value of
the hint itself.

These APIs take logical cpu number as input
Change cpu_first_thread_in_core() to cpu_first_thread_sibling()
Change cpu_last_thread_in_core() to cpu_last_thread_sibling()

These APIs convert core number (index) to logical cpu/thread numbers
Add cpu_first_thread_of_core(int core)
Changed cpu_thread_to_core() to cpu_core_index_of_thread(int cpu)

The goal is to make 'threads_per_core' accessible to the
pseries_energy module.  Instead of making an API to read
threads_per_core, this is a higher level wrapper function to
convert from logical cpu number to core number.

The current APIs cpu_first_thread_in_core() and
cpu_last_thread_in_core() returns logical CPU number while
cpu_thread_to_core() returns core number or index which is
not a logical CPU number.  The new APIs are now clearly named to
distinguish 'core number' versus first and last 'logical cpu
number' in that core.

The new APIs cpu_{first,last}_thread_sibling() work on
logical cpu numbers.  While cpu_first_thread_of_core() and
cpu_core_index_of_thread() work on core index.

Example usage:  (4 threads per core system)

cpu_first_thread_sibling(5) = 4
cpu_last_thread_sibling(5) = 7
cpu_core_index_of_thread(5) = 1
cpu_first_thread_of_core(1) = 4

cpu_core_index_of_thread() is used in cpu_to_drc_index() in the
module and cpu_first_thread_of_core() is used in
drc_index_to_cpu() in the module.

Make API changes to few callers.  Export symbols for use in modules.

By default, those hcalls are enabled, active, and good for throughput

And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'.

The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since
they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes.

The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file
operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get
called.  But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the
generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the
splice code is using.

.. and change it to take the 'file' pointer instead of an inode, since
that's what all users want anyway.

The renaming is preparatory to exporting it to other users.  The old
'pipe_info()' name was too generic and is already used elsewhere, so
before making the function public we need to use a more specific name.

When SKU assid gives no valid bits for 0x38, the driver didn't take
any action, so far.  This resulted in the missing initialization for
external amps, etc, thus the silent output in the end.

Especially users hit this problem on ALC888 newly since 2.6.35,
where the driver doesn't force to use ALC_INIT_DEFAULT any more.

This patch sets the default initialization scheme to use
ALC_INIT_DEFAULT when no valid bits are set for SKU assid.
