EFI on some machines, e.g., Intel Tiger, reports that the VGA framebuffer
supports WB access. ioremap() prefers WB when possible, so it can work
when mapping main memory.
But it doesn't make sense to map a framebuffer WB, because the driver
doesn't flush explicitly, so updates won't make it to the device
immediately.
This is due to Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>.
More extensive fix that adds a "size" argument coming soon.

The parenthesis around "likely" used in ia64 __mutex_fastpath_trylock
is incorrect, and it leads to broken mutex_trylock. Here is the
patch that fixed the bug. I removed the likely altogether because
there is no branch and gcc does a reasonable job at predicating the
return value.

Get rid of the manual search of _CRS, in favor of
acpi_get_vendor_resource() which is now provided by the ACPI CA. And fall
back to searching for a consumer-only address space descriptor if no
vendor-defined resource is found.

Originally from Nick Piggin, just adapted to the newer branch.
You can't check PageLRU without holding zone->lru_lock. The page
release code can get away with it only because the page refcount is 0 at
that point. Also, you can't reliably remove pages from the LRU unless
the refcount is 0. Ever.

By cleaning up the writeback logic (killing write_one_page() and the manual
set_page_dirty()), we can get rid of ->stolen inside the pipe_buffer and
just keep it local in pipe_to_file().
This also adds dirty page balancing logic and O_SYNC handling.

It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the

have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations

Patch from Pavel Pisa
This patch adds support of i.MX/MX1 SD/MMC controller.
It has been significantly redesigned from the original Sascha Hauer's
version to support scatter-gather DMA, to conform to latest Pierre Ossman's
and Russell King's MMC-SD Linux 2.6.x infrastructure.
The handling of all events has been moved to the softirq context
and is designed with no busy-looping in mind. Unfortunately
some controller bugs has to be overcome by limited looping
about 2-20 usec but these are observed only for initial card
recognition phase.
There are still some missing/missed IRQs problems under heavy load.
Help of somebody with access to the full SDHC design information
is probably necessary.
Regenerated against 2.6.16-git-060402 to solve clash with other patches.
