This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work
which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality
that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel. It requires no core
kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted.
The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is
accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream
extras are really ready to merge.

This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC
has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the
base kernel.

proc support for zone reclaim
This patch creates a proc entry /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode that may be
used to override the automatic determination of the zone reclaim made on
bootup.

If optimizing for size (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE), allow gcc4 compilers
to decide what to inline and what not - instead of the kernel forcing gcc
to inline all the time. This requires several places that require to be
inlined to be marked as such, previous patches in this series do that.

Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately
decrease the available memory on a particular node. Since there's no telling
what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files
there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their
site's situation.
Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and
a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default
policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for
preferred, bind, and interleave policies.
The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node
which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create
and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a
significantly reduced number of free pages.
With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for
that policy where they would prefer allocations.
This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I
added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist
mount option.

This collects some small SPI patches that seem to be missing from the MM tree:
- spi_butterfly kbuild hooks got dropped somehow; this restores them
- quick fix for a (theoretical?) m25p80_write() oops noted by Andrew
- quick fix for a potential config-specific oops for mtd_dataflash()
- minor doc tweaks

This includes various updates to the SPI core:
- Fixes a driver model refcount bug in spi_unregister_master() paths.
- The spi_master structures now have wrappers which help keep drivers
from needing class-level get/put for device data or for refcounts.
- Check for a few setup errors that would cause oopsing later.
- Docs say more about memory management. Highlights the use of DMA-safe
i/o buffers, and zero-initializing spi_message and such metadata.
- Provide a simple alloc/free for spi_message and its spi_transfer;
this is only one of the possible memory management policies.
Nothing to break code that already works.

This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1
which makes the following changes:
* There's now a "struct spi_driver". This increase the footprint
of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver
core was previously handling directly. Documentation and comments
were updated to match.
* spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can
at least be refcounted before spi_register_master(). To match,
spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add().
* States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be
deselected. We want fault recovery procedures to work the same
for all controller drivers.
* Minor tweaks: controller_data no longer points to readonly data;
prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls;
clarifies some existing kerneldoc,
And a few small cleanups.

This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
wrappers on top).
- It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM). If there's got to be a
mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget. :)
- The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
model tree. (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)
- This version of Kconfig includes no drivers. At this writing there
are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
mentions of other drivers in development.
- No userspace API. There are several implementations to compare.
Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.
The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:
- One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.
- The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
DMA drivers that want to be fancy.
- Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init. Even though board init
logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.
- Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
with other folk. It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
who've helped nudge this framework into existence.
As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
that this driver framework will need to evolve.
