The bt8xx driver only uses the big kernel lock in its dst_ca_ioctl
function and never to serialize against other code, so we can
trivially replace it with a private mutex.

This driver already has a global mutex, so let's just
use that in the open function instead of the BKL.
It may not even be needed there, but this patch should
have the smallest impact.

RAW_SETBIND and RAW_GETBIND 32bit versions are fscked in interesting ways.
1) fs/compat_ioctl.c has COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND) followed by
HANDLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND, raw_ioctl). The latter is ignored.
2) on amd64 (and itanic) the damn thing is broken - we have int + u64 + u64
and layouts on i386 and amd64 are _not_ the same. raw_ioctl() would
work there, but it's never called due to (1). As it is, i386 /sbin/raw
definitely doesn't work on amd64 boxen.
3) switching to raw_ioctl() as is would *not* work on e.g. sparc64 and ppc64,
which would be rather sad, seeing that normal userland there is 32bit.
The thing is, slapping __packed on the struct in question does not DTRT -
it eliminates *all* padding. The real solution is to use compat_u64.
4) of course, all that stuff has no business being outside of raw.c in the
first place - there should be ->compat_ioctl() for /dev/rawctl instead of
messing with compat_ioctl.c.

Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock,
but all of them can be safely converted to using
a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not
even necessary, so after further review these can
and should be removed as well.
The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either,
so remove it from there, too.

All uses of the big kernel lock in the cris architecture
are for ioctl and open functions of character device drivers,
which can be trivially converted to a per-driver mutex.
Most of these are probably unnecessary, so it may make sense
to audit them and eventually remove the extra mutex introduced
by this patch.

The dasd and dcssblk drivers gained the big
kernel lock in the recent pushdown from the
block layer, but they don't really need it,
so remove the calls without a replacement.

hpet uses the big kernel lock in its ioctl and open
functions. Replace this with a private mutex to be
sure. Since we're already touching the ioctl function,
add the compat_ioctl version as well -- all commands
except HPET_INFO are compatible and that one is easy
to add.

When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss
including some functions, structs etc. in documentation. To help
finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as
warnings.
For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this:
Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_conf
when generating the documentation for it.

There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.
To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.
Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.
