After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE
and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing
the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and
indicates use-after-free.
So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

It is always identical to &q->rq, and we only use it for detecting
whether this request came out of our mempool or not. So replace it
with an additional ->flags bit flag.

As the comments indicates in blkdev.h, we can fold it into ->end_io_data
usage as that is really what ->waiting is. Fixup the users of
blk_end_sync_rq().

The rbtree sort/lookup/reposition logic is mostly duplicated in
cfq/deadline/as, so move it to the elevator core. The io schedulers
still provide the actual rb root, as we don't want to impose any sort
of specific handling on the schedulers.
Introduce the helpers and rb_node in struct request to help migrate the
IO schedulers.

Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for
noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for
essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch
moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator
core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as
well. Win-win!

Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and
others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into
->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic
Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands
to block devices.

MSI is defined to be 32-bit write. The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes
with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word. This is legal
but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop
responding after a while.
Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will
pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are
written by the device.
AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and
prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it
using pci_msi_quirk.
Update version to 1.4.45.

The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices
based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and
forth between multiple user sessions, etc.
Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the
flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem.
Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs.
Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to
different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions
and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which
changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of
groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses.
The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a
console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to
devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach.
These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again
on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with
no problems reported. The previous submission is archived here:

I've been using systemtap for some debugging and I noticed that it can't
probe a lot of modules. Turns out it's kind of silly, the sections section
of /sys/module is limited to 32byte filenames and many of the actual
sections are a a bit longer than that.

ratelimit_pages in page-writeback.c is recalculated (in set_ratelimit())
every time a CPU is hot-added/removed. But this value is not recalculated
when new pages are hot-added.
This patch fixes that problem by calling set_ratelimit() when new pages
are hot-added.
