Maintain the kernel's Documentation/ tree.
This includes tree layout and contents, although not much in terms of new
content production. That will usually have to be done by someone familiar
with the software, at least in some rough form.
Includes review and editorial assistance for people contributing changes
to /Documentation.
Also includes prodding people for content if something is in need of
documentation.

This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is
active". I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path.
I am sorry. The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() +
spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.
The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.

Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
before they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
existing man pages.

In linux-next there is a commit ("rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected
lists into rculist.h") that moved the rcu related list iterators from
list.h to rculist.h. Add a trivial version of the file now so that
various subsystem trees can start using it now for -next changes and so
reduce the build errors caused by adding uses of the moved functions.

This patch fixes following build error when CONFIG_PM is set.
CC drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.o
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c: In function 'fsl_diu_suspend':
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c:1327: error: 'ofdev' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c:1327: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c:1327: error: for each function it appears in.)
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c: In function 'fsl_diu_resume':
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c:1337: error: 'ofdev' undeclared (first use in this function)
While I'm at it, also fix this warning:
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c: In function 'fsl_diu_alloc':
drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c:314: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'phys_addr_t'
And these section mismatches:
..from the function fsl_diu_remove() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()
..from the function fsl_diu_remove() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()
..from the function install_fb() to the variable .devinit.data:fsl_diu_mode_db
..from the function install_fb() to the variable .devinit.data:fsl_diu_mode_db
..from the function fsl_diu_probe() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()
..from the function fsl_diu_probe() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()
Also, some sparse fixes: make two functions static, and use NULL where
appropriate. There are still a lot of sparse warnings, mainly wrt absence
of __iomem annotations, but some will require ugly __force stuff. I'll leave
them for now, since proper fix would be not that trivial as few one-liners
below.

The pca953x driver can handle another 8-bit I/O expander, the max7310.
This patch adds that chip to the list of supported IDs in that driver, and

Commit 95b570c9ce ("Taint kernel after
WARN_ON(condition)") introduced a TAINT_WARN that was implemented for
all architectures using the generic warn_on_slowpath(), which excluded
any architecture that set HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON.
As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.
Tested on avr32 and sh. Also relevant for s390, parisc, and powerpc.
