This patch adds a tty driver to the PDC console. It allows the use
of ports not supported by linux as a console (e.g. serial port on
C8000.) The tty driver will not register the ttyB device if PDC console
driver has been unregistered. This happens when the early printk
console is disabled as it has not been selected as the primary console.

The CONFIG_PA20 ifdef isn't necessary at this point, because it is
checked in an outer ifdef level already and has no effect here.

Having many dozens of modules, the searches down the linked
list of sections would dominate the lookup time, dwarfing
any savings from the binary search within the section.
A simple move-to-front optimisation exploits the commonality
of the code paths taken, and in simple real-world tests
on other architectures reduced the number of steps in the
search to barely more than 1.

alloc_pci_dev allocates some memory, so that memory should be freed before
leaving the function in an error case.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E;
identifier f1;
iterator I;
@@
x = alloc_pci_dev(...);
<... when != x
when != true (x == NULL || ...)
when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
when != I (...) { <+...x...+> }
(
x == NULL
|
x == E
|
x->f1
)
...>
* return ...;
// </smpl>

No big deal, just need to convert the suckyio interrupts to be
a nested handler instead of request_irq the suckyio device in the
future.

Use proper accessors and handlers for generic irq cleanups. We just
call back into __do_IRQ through desc->handler now, and remove the
explicit calls.

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().
It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.
This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.
Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle). This is number 3.

[PATCH 2/2] IPS driver: disable CPU turbo
IPS driver: apply BIOS provided CPU limit if different from default
intel_ips -- ensure we do not enable gpu turbo mode without driver linkage
intel_ips: Print MCP limit exceeded values.
IPS driver: verify BIOS provided limits
IPS driver: don't toggle CPU turbo on unsupported CPUs
NULL pointer might be used in ips_monitor()
Release symbol on error-handling path of ips_get_i915_syms()
old_cpu_power is wrongly divided by 65535 in ips_monitor()
seqno mask of THM_ITV register is 16bit
We shouldn't return directly here because we're still holding the
&soundcard_mutex.
This bug goes all the way back to the start of git. It's strange that
no one has complained about it as a runtime bug.
