__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

This driver uses 'struct timeval' which we are trying to remove since
32 bit time types will break in the year 2038 by replacing it with
ktime_t.
This patch changes do_gettimeofday() to ktime_get() because
ktime_get() returns a ktime_t while do_gettimeofday() returns struct
timeval.
This patch also uses ktime_us_delta() to get the elapsed time.

Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo:
"Rather big for fixes pull.
- SCC controllers never lived to see the light of the day. Both
libata and ide drivers removed.
- In some configurations, link power management policy changes
sometimes cause delayed spurious PHY events which can develop into
noticeable failures. This has been reported several times over the
years. Gabriele's patches suppress PHY events for a while after
LPM policy changes which should help most of these failures without
causing too much problem for hotplug use cases.
- A few controller specific fixes"

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few
items that sort of fall into the new feature category.
First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to
handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way.
There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API
area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from
platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data.
We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new
chips and a new cpufreq driver too.

to be used for ACPI device identification (Rafael J Wysocki)
- ACPI EC driver update including limited _DEP support (Lan Tianyu,

native backlight handling to be forced on non-Windows 8 systems and

ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
in non-native endianness. These can be accessed via the arch-specific
{ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.
However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
point.
Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.
To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
generic byteswappers.
