Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them
if we have PNP.
This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by
the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g.,
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be
claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA
drivers and administration.
In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART
stuff back in. On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel"
option does this.
To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or
ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with
the "legacy_serial.force" option.

This series converts i386 and x86_64 legacy serial ports to be platform
devices and prevents probing for them if we have PNP.
This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy
probe and by 8250_pnp.
This also prevents the serial driver from claiming IRDA devices (unless they
have a UART PNP ID). The serial legacy probe sometimes assumed the wrong IRQ,
so the user had to use "setserial" to fix it.
Removing the need for setserial to make IRDA devices work seems good, but it
does break some things. In particular, you may need to keep setserial from
poking legacy UART stuff back in by doing something like "dpkg-reconfigure
setserial" with the "kernel" option. Otherwise, the setserial-discovered
"UART" will claim resources and prevent the IRDA driver from loading.
This patch:
If we can discover devices using PNP, we can skip some legacy probes. This
flag ("pnp_platform_devices") indicates that PNPBIOS or PNPACPI is enabled and
should tell us about builtin devices.

irqpoll is broken on some architectures that don't use the IRQ 0 for the timer
interrupt like IA64. This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag.
Each architecture is handled in a separate pach. As I left the irq == 0 as
condition, this should not break existing architectures that use timer_irq ==
0 and that I did't address with that patch (because I don't know).
This patch:
This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag that the interrupt registration code could
use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling.
Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added
instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant. Until all architectures will
have an IRQF_IRQPOLL interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should
not break anything.
Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as
interrupt source for IRQ polling.

i386:
Rearrange the cmpxchg code to allow atomic.h to get it without needing to
include system.h. This kills warnings in the UML build from atomic.h about
implicit declarations of cmpxchg symbols. The i386 build presumably isn't
seeing this because a separate inclusion of system.h is covering it over.
The cmpxchg stuff is moved to asm-i386/cmpxchg.h, with an include left in
system.h for the benefit of generic code which expects cmpxchg there.
Meanwhile, atomic.h includes cmpxchg.h.
This causes no noticable damage to the i386 build.
x86_64:
Move cmpxchg into its own header. atomic.h already included system.h, so
this is changed to include cmpxchg.h.
This is purely cleanup - it's not fixing any warnings - so if the x86_64
system.h isn't considered as cleanup-worthy as i386, then this can be
dropped.
It causes no noticable damage to the x86_64 build.
uml:
The i386 and x86_64 cmpxchg patches require an asm-um/cmpxchg.h for the
UML build.

This series extena and standardises local_t operations on each architecture,
allowing a rich set of atomic operations to be done on per-cpu data with
minimal performance impact. On architectures where there seems to be no
difference between the SMP and UP operation (same memory barriers, same
LOCKing), local.h simply includes asm-generic/local.h, which removes
duplicated code from the current kernel tree.

atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.
atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by
such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the
rest of my atomic.h patches.
It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.
