This patch series replaces the old non-generic Hardware Random Number
Generator support by a fully generic RNG API.
This makes it possible to register additional RNGs from modules. With this
patch series applied, Laptops with a bcm43xx chip (PowerBook) have a HW RNG
available now.
Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap"
devices. (Written by Deepak Saxena). This patch series includes the old
patches by Deepak Saxena.
The old x86-rng driver has beed split.
The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through
/sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience. For now it is sufficient to use
cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.

Magic sysrq fails to work on many keyboards, particulary most of notebook
keyboards. This patch fixes it.
The idea is quite simple: Discard the SysRq break code if Alt is still being
held down. This way the broken keyboard can send the break code (or the user
with a normal keyboard can release the SysRq key) and the kernel waits until
the next key is pressed or the Alt key is released.

Add custom HDLC idle pattern feature.
It allows the user to specify an arbitrary 8 or 16 bit repeating pattern on
the transmit data pin between HDLC frames.
In most cases the idle pattern is continuous ones or flags as supported by off
the shelf synchronous controllers and defined in the ISO3309 standard. Some
applications (radio/satellite modems, connections to legacy military hardware)
require non-standard patterns.

Fix memory leak caused by incorrect use of tty buffer facility. tty
buffers are allocated but never processed by call to tty_flip_buffer_push
so they accumulate on the full buffer list. Current code uses the buffers
as a temporary storage for data before passing it directly to the line
discipline.

Another bunch of checks in the char drivers .put_char() and .write()
routines, where tty can never be NULL. This patch removes these checks to
save some code. Coverity choked at those with the following bug ids:
isicom.c 767, 766
specialix.c 773, 774
synclink_cs.c 779, 781
synclink_gt.c 784, 785

coverity choked at another two !tty checks, in places where tty can
never be NULL. Since it removes some code we should remove
these checks. (Coverity ids #763,#762)

Priority: tossup.
In theory some of these (previously) __init functions could be called
after init, but that problem has not been observed AFAIK.
There were 2 cases of cleanup_module() (module_exit) calling __init
functions (clear_requested_irq() & have_requested_irq()).
These are more serious, but still not observed AFAIK.
Fix sections mismatch:
