Create the dev_set_name function now so that various subsystems can
start changing over to it before other changes in 2.6.27 will make it

We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device
as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later
setting of this field.
So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and
device_create_drvdata() that take this new field.
device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will
just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.

Everybody wants to pass it a function pointer, and in fact, that is what
you _must_ pass it for it to make sense (since it knows that ia64 and
ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual
address from there).
So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to
add a cast.

It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is
when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case
the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to
generate bogus backtrace and errors.
Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the
remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.

Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings
(normal writes are done synchronously). This is needed, because there cannot
be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete.
By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written
back immediately. If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this
effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone.
This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used
as temporary buffers.

Fixed up fairly trivial conflicts in arch/x86/pci/{init.c,pci.h} due to
OLPC support manually.
Before requesting firmware, printk a message saying what we're requesting. This
makes it easier to see what's going on, and provides an explanation for the
huge silent delay that one would otherwise get after accidentally building
ipw2200 as a non-module.

This can happen if the device_add() ended up breaking out early due to

Fixed trivial conflict in include/linux/memory.h due to semaphore header
file change (made irrelevant by the change to mutex).
After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
concurrent operations involving device objects. That proved to be
too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
before it happened, we had introduced the functions
device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
drivers to use them. Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
normal device unregistration instead.
