Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language.
This allows more natural specification when using the control language
to match against printk formats, e.g
#echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' >
/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
instead of
#echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' >
/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a
new example. Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to
reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the
control file. Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.
for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
to disable them:
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being
generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to
call_usermode_helper(). Specifically, the effect is that each uevent
that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until
keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times
during the system boot.
This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant
btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but
do not wait for keventd to process the work.
This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is
only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up.
[Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be
excuted at all -- gregkh]

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:
1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.
[This version is against the latest driver-core patch set of Greg,please
ignore the last version.]

Impact: allow architectures to monitor busses for dma mem leakage
This patch adds checking code to detect if a device has pending DMA
operations when it is about to be unbound from its device driver.
