That patch adds the RTC emulation of the HPET timer to the new RTC_DRV_CMOS.
The old drivers/char/rtc.ko driver had that functionality and it's important
on new systems.

Start making the rtc-cmos alarm act more like a oneshot alarm by disabling
that alarm after its IRQ fires. (ACPI hooks are also needed.)
The Linux RTC framework has previously been a bit vague in this area, but
any other behavior is problematic and not very portable. RTCs with full
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS] alarms won't have a problem here. Only ones with
partial match criteria, with the most visible example being the PC RTC, get
confused. (Because the criteria will match repeatedly.)
Update comments relating to that oneshot behavior and timezone handling.
(Timezones are another issue that's mostly visible with rtc-cmos. That's
because PCs often dual-boot MS-Windows, which likes its RTC to match local
wall-clock time instead of UTC.)

This adds a basic ds1302 RTC driver, which is basically a cleanup and move
of the in-tree SH SecureEdge5410 code (which is currently located in
arch/sh/board/snapgear/rtc.c) to drivers/rtc.
This aims to be a building block that the M32R and CRIS code can be worked
on top of, so we can get rid of drivers/char/ds1302.c and
arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/ds1302.c respectively, though more work is
needed for this.

This makes rtc-cmos export its NVRAM, like several other RTC drivers.
It still works within the limits of the current CMOS_READ/CMOS_WRITE calls,
which don't understand how to access multiple register banks. The primary
impact of that limitation is that Linux can't access the uppermost 128
bytes of NVRAM on many systems.
Note that this isn't aiming to be a drop-in replacement for the legacy
/dev/nvram support. (Presumably that has real users, and isn't just
getting carried forward automatically?) Userspace handles more work:
- When userspace code updates NVRAM, that will need to include
updating any platform-specific checksums that may apply.
- No /proc/driver/nvram file will parse and display NVRAM data
according to whichever boot firmware your board expects.
Also minor pnp-related updates: update a comment, remove dead code.

Libfuse basically creates a new thread for each new request. This is fine for
synchronous requests, which are naturally limited. However background
requests (especially writepage) can cause a thread creation storm.
To avoid this, limit the number of background requests available to userspace.
This is done by introducing another queue for background requests, and a
counter for the number of "active" requests, which are currently available for
userspace.

Move the fields 'dentry' and 'vfsmount' into the request specific union, since
these are only used for the RELEASE request.

Jeff Moyer pointed out that a mount; umount loop of ecryptfs, with the same
cipher & other mount options, created a new ecryptfs_key_tfm_cache item
each time, and the cache could grow quite large this way.
Looking at this with mhalcrow, we saw that ecryptfs_parse_options()
unconditionally called ecryptfs_add_new_key_tfm(), which is what was adding
these items.
Refactor ecryptfs_get_tfm_and_mutex_for_cipher_name() to create a new
helper function, ecryptfs_tfm_exists(), which checks for the cipher on the
cached key_tfm_list, and sets a pointer to it if it exists. This can then
be called from ecryptfs_parse_options(), and new key_tfm's can be added
only when a cached one is not found.
With list locking changes suggested by akpm.
