Change spin_locks to irqsave to prevent dead-locks.
Protect adding and deleting to/from dca_providers list.
Drop the lock during dca_sysfs_add_req() and dca_sysfs_remove_req() calls
as they might sleep (use GFP_KERNEL allocation).

The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback. If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.
This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.
But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.
So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once. The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.
The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.
Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.
Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

while (limit--)
if (test())
break;
if (limit <= 0)
goto test_failed;
In the last iteration, limit is decremented after the test to 0.
If just thereafter test() succeeds and a break occurs, the goto
still occurs because limit is 0.

The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes
before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK.
However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not
attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent
this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL
before trying to notify the driver of config changes.
Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with
QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.

With the PXA270 MMC hardware, there seems to be an issue of
data corruption on writes where a 4KB data block is offset
by one byte.
If we delay enabling the DMA for writes until after the CMD/RESP
has finished, the problem seems to be fixed.

If ricoh_mmc suspends before sdhci_pci, it will pull the card
out from under the controller, which could leave the system in
a very confused state.
Using suspend_late/resume_early ensures that sdhci_pci suspends first
and resumes second.

This patch adds support for the ST Microelectronics version of
the PL180 PrimeCell. They use designer ID 0x80 and have a few
alterations/bugfixes related to open drain and HW flow control.
They also add some SDIO registers, I am unsure if these are
in ST HW only or if this is things also added in later ARM
revisions, but they are included in the mmci.h file for
completeness.

This patch adds a MX2/MX3 specific SDHC driver. The hardware is basically
the same as in the MX1, but unlike the MX1 controller the MX2
controller just works as expected. Since the MX1 driver has more
workarounds for bugs than anything else I had no success with supporting
MX1 and MX2 in a sane way in one driver.

The bcount is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0x10000.
Thus '(bcount & 0xffff) == 0x0000' can be simplified as 'bcount == 0x10000'.
