The recent generic_file_write() deadlock fix caused
generic_file_buffered_write() to loop inifinitely when presented with a
zero-length iovec segment. Fix.
Note that this fix deliberately avoids calling ->prepare_write(),
->commit_write() etc with a zero-length write. This is because I don't trust
all filesystems to get that right.
This is a cautious approach, for 2.6.17.x. For 2.6.18 we should just go ahead
and call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with the zero length and fix
any broken filesystems. So I'll make that change once this code is stabilised
and backported into 2.6.17.x.
The reason for preferring to call ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write() with
the zero-length segment: a zero-length segment _should_ be sufficiently
uncommon that this is the correct way of handling it. We don't want to
optimise for poorly-written userspace at the expense of well-written
userspace.

The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now
possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte.
The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we
have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]".
[ This is just an alternate and simpler patch to one proposed by Andrew
and Jeremy, who actually noticed the problem ]

This patch adds earlier initialization of spi_device.mode, as needed
on boards using nondefault chipselect polarity. An example would be
ones using the RS5C348 RTC without an external signal inverter between
the RTC chipselect and the SPI controller.
Without this mechanism, the first setup() call for that chip would
wrongly enable chips, corrupting transfers to/from other chips sharing
that SPI bus.

Remove the hard coded ROM region setups. Use Kconfig options to specify
