Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers
for static spinlocks:
ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt
This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to
_use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the
future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static
initializers to be more lockdep friendly.

git commit 54a0151041 ("asmlinkage_protect
replaces prevent_tail_call") causes this build failure on s390:
AS arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o
In file included from arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S:14:
include/linux/linkage.h:34: error: syntax error in macro parameter list
make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/s390/kernel] Error 2
and some other architectures. The reason is that some architectures add
the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables
variadic macro argument support.
So just surround the new define with an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent
any side effects on asm code.

Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.
Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.
But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this:
pnp: PnP ACPI init
kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem. It should not
have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
enforced in the backends.

If a failure is detected after a parity check operation has been initiated,
but before it completes handle_parity_checks5 will never quiesce operations on
the stripe.
Explicitly handle this case by "canceling" the parity check, i.e. clear the
STRIPE_OP_CHECK flags and queue the stripe on the handle list again to refresh
any non-uptodate blocks.
Kernel versions >= 2.6.23 are susceptible.

Jeff Roberson discovered a race when using kaio eventfd based notifications.
When it occurs it can lead tomissed wakeups and hung userspace.
This patch fixes the race by moving the notification inside the spinlocked
section of kaio. The operation is safe since eventfd spinlock and kaio one
are unrelated.

Extend the /proc/<pid>/cgroup file to include the appropriate hierarchy ID on
each line.
Currently this ID isn't really needed since a hierarchy can be completely
identified by the set of subsystems bound to it, but this is likely to change
in the near future in order to support stateless subsystems and
merging/rebinding of subsystems. Getting this change into 2.6.25 reduces the
need for an API change later.

I have recently bought some USB PIDs from EZPrototypes for my USB projects
and one will be for the i2c-tiny-usb. I have not yet started to use the new
one in the official i2c-tiny-usb firmware since i think it makes sense to get
the change into the kernel before releasing a modified firmware.
This patch adds support for the EZPrototypes USB vid/pid pair used in later
i2c-tiny-usb firmware versions (avrusb v1.06 and up, usbtiny v2.06 and up).
