Currently, all userspace verbs operations that call into the kernel
are serialized by ib_uverbs_idr_mutex. This can be a scalability
issue for some workloads, especially for devices driven by the ipath
driver, which needs to call into the kernel even for datapath
operations.
Fix this by adding reference counts to the userspace objects, and then
converting ib_uverbs_idr_mutex into a spinlock that only protects the
idrs long enough to take a reference on the object being looked up.
Because remove operations may fail, we have to do a slightly funky
two-step deletion, which is described in the comments at the top of
uverbs_cmd.c.
This also still leaves ib_uverbs_idr_lock as a single lock that is
possibly subject to contention. However, the lock hold time will only
be a single idr operation, so multiple threads should still be able to
make progress, even if ib_uverbs_idr_lock is being ping-ponged.
Surprisingly, these changes even shrink the object code:
add/remove: 23/5 grow/shrink: 4/21 up/down: 633/-693 (-60)

The P_Key is provided into a SIDR REQ in two places, once as a
parameter, and again in the path record. Remove the P_Key as a
parameter and always use the one given in the path record.
This change has no practical effect on ABI functionality.

Add enum values for I/O Class values from rev. 10 and rev. 16a SRP

revisions of SRP, so that the initiator can use the old format for

Attached are two small patches for include/net/ieee80211.h to prepare
for later submission of code to implement a user-space daemon that
supplies 802.11 regulatory information.
The first change adds a bit indicating that 802.11h rules are to be
applied to a channel. As discussed earlier in this list, a single bit
is unlikely to be sufficient; however, at this time I have been unable
to find any regulations implementing differences between 802.11a and
802.11h other than DFS, radar detection and passive scanning. A single
bit is thus sufficient to convey to the driver that these rules should
be obeyed.
The second change adds comments to the freq and max_power fields of
struct ieee80211_channel to indicate the units that are used.

Currently the kernel blindly halts all the processors and calls the
ibm,suspend-me rtas call. If the firmware is not in the correct
state, we then re-start all the processors and return. It is much
smarter to first check the firmware state, and only if it is waiting,
call the ibm,suspend-me call.
