Alexey Starikovskiy 7843932ac4 ACPI: EC: auto select interrupt mode
Start in POLL mode, and if we receive confirmation GPE,
switch to INT mode.
If confirmations are not sent, switch back to POLL.

Mel Gorman b3da2a73ff sched: document profile=sleep requiring CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS
profile=sleep only works if CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is set. This patch notes
the limitation in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and prints a
warning at boot-time if profile=sleep is used without CONFIG_SCHEDSTAT.

Carlos Corbacho d79a5f80dc x86: Force enable HPET for CK804 (nForce 4) chipsets
This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on
the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset.

This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4
(LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3,
but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

Tested on an Abit KN9 (CK804).

Keshavamurthy, Anil S 7d3b03ce7b Intel IOMMU: Intel iommu cmdline option - forcedac
Introduce intel_iommu=forcedac commandline option.  This option is helpful to
verify the pci device capability of handling physical dma'able address greater
than 4G.

Keshavamurthy, Anil S ba39592764 Intel IOMMU: Intel IOMMU driver
Actual intel IOMMU driver.  Hardware spec can be found at:
http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization

This driver sets X86_64 'dma_ops', so hook into standard DMA APIs.  In this
way, PCI driver will get virtual DMA address.  This change is transparent to
PCI drivers.

Andres Salomon 8f4ce8c32f serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time option
Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep.  This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC).  There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.

This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend).  By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.

For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.
