_OSI("Linux") is like _OS("Linux"), it is ill-defined and
virtually no BIOS vendors test interaction with it.
As a result, it can do more damage than good because
it causes the BIOS to follow un-tested paths.
Recently, several machines have turned up that erroneously
test this string in a way which causes them to _not_ test other
compatibility strings, including the ZI9 and Toshiba.
So it appears that this bad code has made it into
a BIOS vendor's reference BIOS.
Linux has no choice but to stop advertising compatibility
with _OSI string "Linux" - as there are an unbounded
number of possible incompatibilities going forward.
But some BIOSes have already shipped which do use it
for things like conditionally re-enabling video on resume
from S3. (Too bad they didn't do that unconditionally)
Add special case code for _OSI(Linux)
Squawk to dmesg if _OSI(Linux) is requested
Add DMI list both to enable and disable _OSI(Linux)
But for now, keep the default enabled via
#define OSI_LINUX_ENABLED.

The boot option "acpi_osi=" has always disabled Linux _OSI support,
thus disabling all OS Interface strings which are advertised
by Linux to the BIOS.
Now...
acpi_osi="string" adds the interface string, and
acpi_osi="!string" invalidates the pre-defined interface string
eg. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
would disable Linux's claim of Vista compatibility.

The sata_sis driver supports SATA and PATA ports. The broken support

The commit d4b2bab4f2 added deadline support
to prereset and reset methods to libbata the pata_scc driver wasn't
converted. This patch is a naive attempt to bring this driver up to
scratch.
Build failures are:
drivers/ata/pata_scc.c: In function 'scc_pata_prereset':
drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:870: error: too few arguments to function 'ata_std_prereset'
drivers/ata/pata_scc.c: In function 'scc_error_handler':
drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:916: warning: passing argument 2 of 'ata_bmdma_drive_eh' from incompatible pointer type
drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:916: warning: passing argument 3 of 'ata_bmdma_drive_eh' from incompatible pointer type
drivers/ata/pata_scc.c: In function 'scc_pata_prereset':
drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:871: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
On a releated note scc_bus_post_reset() is (AFACT) identical to
ata_bus_post_reset(), would a patch to make ata_bus_post_reset() assesable
to drivers be accepted?

During prereset, -ENODEV return from ata_wait_ready() is not an error.
This causes unnecessary bug message on controllers which uses 0xff to

Some SATA controllers (sata_sil) use 0xff to indicate port not ready
status, not port empty. As libata interprets 0xff as port empty, this
causes unnecessary reset failure and retry. Don't consider 0xff as
port empty if SStatus is available and indicates that port is online.
