On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.
This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.
So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

On ppc64 the minimum memory section for hotplug is 16MB but most
recent machines have a memory block size of 256MB. This means
memory_block_change_state does 16 separate calls to
memory_section_action.
This also means we call the notifiers 16 times and the hook
in the ehea network driver is quite costly. To offline one 256MB
region takes:
# time echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
7.9s
This patch removes the loop and calls online_pages or
remove_memory once for the entire region and in doing so makes
the logic simpler since we don't have to back out if things fail
part way through.
The same test to offline one region now takes:
# time echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state
0.67s
Over 11 times faster.

In case CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is not set to "", which it
should be on every system, the kernel forks processes during
shutdown, which try to access the rootfs, even when the
binary does not exist. It causes exceptions and long delays in
the disk driver, which gets read requests at the time it tries
to shut down the disk.
This patch disables all kernel-forked processes during reboot to
allow a clean poweroff.

This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver.
Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's
output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines
as to what the firmware is doing.
The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in
the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in
the file /sys/firmware/log.

The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for
accessing hardware.
Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information.
Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their
op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used.
This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command
outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various
limitations over time, but all are included herein.
This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either
a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM
strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in
gsmi_system_valid().

b402843 (Driver core: move dev_get/set_drvdata to drivers/base/dd.c)
calling dev_set_drvdata with dev=NULL was an unchecked error. After some
