Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
locking violations, etc.
The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
"has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.
Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (46 commits)
saner proc_get_inode() calling conventions
proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super()
fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM
fs/exec.c: make bprm_mm_init() static
ocfs2/dlm: use GFP_ATOMIC inside a spin_lock
ocfs2: fix possible use-after-free with AIO
ocfs2: Fix oops in ocfs2_fast_symlink_readpage() code path
get_empty_filp()/alloc_file() leave both ->f_pos and ->f_version zero
target: writev() on single-element vector is pointless
export kernel_write(), convert open-coded instances
fs: encode_fh: return FILEID_INVALID if invalid fid_type
kill f_vfsmnt
vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op
nfsd: handle vfs_getattr errors in acl protocol
switch vfs_getattr() to struct path
default SET_PERSONALITY() in linux/elf.h
ceph: prepopulate inodes only when request is aborted
d_hash_and_lookup(): export, switch open-coded instances
9p: switch v9fs_set_create_acl() to inode+fid, do it before d_instantiate()
9p: split dropping the acls from v9fs_set_create_acl()
...
alloc failures already get standardized OOM
messages and a dump_stack.
For the affected mallocs around these OOM messages:
Converted kzallocs with multiplies to kcalloc.
Converted kmallocs with multiplies to kmalloc_array.
Converted a kmalloc/strlen/strncpy to kstrdup.
Moved a spin_lock below a removed OOM message and
removed a now unnecessary spin_unlock.
Neatened alignment and whitespace.

This is to get the comedi fixes, and resolve the issue in comdi_test.c
and comedi_fops.c that were caused by changes in both branches.
It also allows the fwserial driver changes to be applied, as they
required the fixes that are in staging-linus.

This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out
of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/.
The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions
they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.

The output of "make versioncheck" told us that:
drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_pio2_core.c: 13 linux/version.h not needed.
drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_pio2_gpio.c: 13 linux/version.h not needed.
If we take a look at these files, we will agree to remove it.

The DMA functionality fails to work on little endian processors, such as
found on x86 based platforms. The DMA engine copies the link list
descriptors from memory into big endian registers. On little endian systems
this results in the values being byte swapped. This patch uses standard
kernel functionality to ensure that the descriptors are stored in big
endian format.

The DMA functionality fails to work on some Intel based platforms. Some
recent Intel platforms have an IOMMU. Transferring the DMA descriptors,
which were mapped using virt_to_phys(), failed. This patch updates the
driver to use dma_map_single().
