While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if
the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may
degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can
confuse it's own readahead logic).
With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured.
There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous
reads are supported by the kernel or not.
To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be
used and the maximum readahead value. Update interface version to 7.6
If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and
set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous
versions.

Somewhere between 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc3, some PCI ids were apparently
removed. The ecc.c module, which is not a part of the kernel.org tree, but
included in some distributions, fails to compile.

Another hook needed for wireless USB: there are states associated with the
device authentication protocol. Wireless devices must authenticate using
the host system's keystore.
Note that wired connections could also use this authentication protocol, if
for no other reason than to support the most secure "simple" key exchange
protocols for wireless devices.

Same reasoning as commit 747c8a5594
but this time we're making uart_port flags a bitwise type - not
all of these flags correspond with the old ASYNC_ flags, so there
is the possibility for bugs if the wrong ASYNC_* constants are
used. Always use UPF_* constants for uart_port->flags.

The previous change found a bug in the serial SAK handling - because
we were looking for UPF_SAK set in uart_info->flags, we would never
raise a SAK condition. UPF_SAK is in uart_port->flags.

The potential for confusing the flags is fairly high. Make
uart_info's flags a bitwise type so sparse can check that the
right flag definitions are used with the right structure.

The functionality UPF_BOOT_ONLYMCA provided has been replaced by
the 8250_mca module, which only registers MCA ports if MCA is
present.
UPF_AUTOPROBE has no functional effect - in fact, it's never

The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls
depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the
thread_info.
These system calls have to change the signal mask during their
operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary
signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful
exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal
handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the
original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal
mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call.
The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit
path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by
causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current
signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or
by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the
case where there is no handler to be invoked.
The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system
calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That
#ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented
it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC
kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the
arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them
with generic versions using the same trick.
The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch
adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table.
This patch:
Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by
the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with
their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag allows us to have a generic implementation of
sys_rt_sigsuspend() instead of duplicating it for each architecture. This
provides such an implementation and makes arch/powerpc use it.
It also tidies up the ppc32 sys_sigsuspend() to use TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
