Hugh spotted that some code does:
percpu_counter_add(&counter, -unsignedlong)
which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to
two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit
machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number.
Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is:
percpu_counter_sub(&counter, foo)
is equal to:
percpu_counter_add(&counter, -(s64)foo);

These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
issues:
1) inter device starvation
2) stacked device deadlocks
3) inter process starvation
1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
is broken.
In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
limit proportional to the device's recent activity.
3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
recent dirty rate.

nfs: remove congestion_end(). It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already

Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that
it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the
same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue
typedef and #defines to make it work.
A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be
added with an appropriate #define.
This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
current users so there's are no change in behaviour.
This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX
state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE
(signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from
Freescale have.

Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage.
- refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much
duplication:
o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash
o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to
the two callers
o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away
- lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to
lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear
- added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as
lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use
the latter ever.

Some NICs (3c905B) can not generate PME in power state PCI_D0, while others
like 3c905C can. Call pci_enable_wake() with PCI_D3hot should give proper
WOL for 3c905B.

net: Fix new EMAC driver for NAPI changes
This fixes the new EMAC driver for the NAPI updates. The previous patch
by Roland Dreier (already applied) to do that doesn't actually work. This
applies on top of it makes it work on my test Ebony machine.
This patch depends on "net: Add __napi_sycnhronize() to sync with napi poll"

Apparently poking the link status registers when autonegotiation
is running on the PHY might botch the PHY link on 80003es2lan
devices. While this is a very rare condition we can completely
avoid it alltogether by just using the MAC link bits to provide
the proper information to ethtool.
