Alexey Kuznetsov found some problems in the pi-futex code.
The major problem is a stale return value in rt_mutex_slowlock():
When the pi chain walk returns -EDEADLK, but the waiter was woken up during
the phases where the locks were dropped, the rtmutex could be acquired, but
due to the stale return value -EDEADLK returned to the caller.
Reset the return value in the retry path.

sata_promise uses two different command modes - packet and TF. Packet mode
is intelligent low-overhead mode while TF is the same old taskfile
interface. As with other advanced interface (ahci/sil24),
ATA_TFLAG_POLLING has no effect in packet mode. However, PIO commands are
issued using TF interface in polling mode, so pdc_interrupt() considers
interrupts spurious if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.
This is broken for polling NODATA commands because command is issued using
packet mode but the interrupt handler ignores it due to ATA_TFLAG_POLLING.
Fix pdc_qc_issue_prot() such that ATA/ATAPI NODATA commands are issued
using TF interface if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.
This patch fixes detection failure introduced by polling SETXFERMODE.

Include linux/kernel.h wherever simple_strtoul is used. This kills a
compile warning in stderr_console.c and potential ones in the other files.
This also fixes a bunch of style violations in exitcode.c.

Since it's not neccesary to have MAX_PANELS on the card, don't fail to let
users use this card even in this case. Stop the testing for loop instead.

Instead of returning the smallest available object return ZERO_SIZE_PTR.
A ZERO_SIZE_PTR can be legitimately used as an object pointer as long as it
is not deferenced. The dereference of ZERO_SIZE_PTR causes a distinctive
fault. kfree can handle a ZERO_SIZE_PTR in the same way as NULL.
This enables functions to use zero sized object. e.g. n = number of objects.
objects = kmalloc(n * sizeof(object));
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
objects[i].x = y;
kfree(objects);

it by instantiate default 8 loop devices and also reinstate max_loop module

This bug was caught by LTP testcase fchmod06 on Blackfin platform.
In the manpage of fchmod, "EPERM: The effective UID does not match the
owner of the file, and the process is not privileged (Linux: it does not
have the CAP_FOWNER capability)."
But the ramfs nommu code missed the inode_change_ok POSIX UID/GID
verification. This patch fixed this.
