From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host
Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and
risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools.
Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally
disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time
when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the
BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives.
Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using
HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if
any partitions overlapping HPA are detected. Additionally HPA can also
be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0"
to disable HPA on /dev/hda).
v2:
Fix ->resume HPA support.
While at it:
- remove stale "idebus=" entry from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

* Use ->probed_capacity to store native device capacity for ATA disks.
* Add ->set_capacity method to struct ide_disk_ops.
* Implement disk device ->set_capacity method for ATA disks.
* Implement block device ->set_capacity method.
v2:
* Check if LBA and HPA are supported in ide_disk_set_capacity().
* According to the spec the SET MAX ADDRESS command shall be
immediately preceded by a READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS command.
* Add ide_disk_hpa_{get_native,set}_capacity() helpers.
Together with the previous patch adding ->set_capacity block device
method this allows automatic disabling of Host Protected Area (HPA)
if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.

* Add ->set_capacity block device method and use it in rescan_partitions()
to attempt enabling native capacity of the device upon detecting the
partition which exceeds device capacity.
* Add GENHD_FL_NATIVE_CAPACITY flag to try limit attempts of enabling
native capacity during partition scan.
Together with the consecutive patch implementing ->set_capacity method in
ide-gd device driver this allows automatic disabling of Host Protected Area
(HPA) if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.

Wireless USB endpoint state has a sequence number and a current
window and not just a single toggle bit. So allow HCDs to provide a
endpoint_reset method and call this or clear the software toggles as
required (after a clear halt, set configuration etc.).
usb_settoggle() and friends are then HCD internal and are moved into
core/hcd.h and all device drivers call usb_reset_endpoint() instead.
If the device endpoint state has been reset (with a clear halt) but
the host endpoint state has not then subsequent data transfers will
not complete. The device will only work again after it is reset or
disconnected.

pr_debug() used to produce zero code unless DEBUG was #defined. This is
now no longer the case in practice[1].
There are places where it's useful to have debugging printks, but we don't
want them to generate any code in production kernels.
So add a new macro, pr_devel(), for _devel_opment, to provide the old
semantics, ie. if the programmer doesn't explicitly enable debugging, no
code is produced.
[1]: You can turn CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG off, but it's enabled in at least
one distro kernel, so it's not really a solution.

V3 of the early platform driver implementation.
Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate
driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses,
interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board
code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms.
For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early
timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This
because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the
platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk
support. Early in this case means before initcalls.
These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or
they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working
quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and
early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same
driver. A single way would be better.
The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow
drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and
probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the
probe is decided by the architecture code.
See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

The legacy old IDE ioctl API for this is a bit primitive so we try
and map stuff sensibly onto it.
- Set PIO over DMA devices to report 32bit
- Add ability to change the PIO32 settings if the controller permits it
- Add that functionality into the sff drivers
- Add that functionality into the VLB legacy driver
- Turn on the 32bit PIO on the ninja32 and add support there

block_write_full_page doesn't allow the caller to control what happens
when the IO is over. This adds a new call named block_write_full_page_endio
so the buffer head end_io handler can be provided by the caller.
This will be used by the ext3 data=guarded mode to do i_size updates in
a workqueue based end_io handler. end_buffer_async_write is also
exported so it can be called to do the dirty work of managing page
writeback for the higher level end_io handler.

There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code:
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
/* do something */
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking.
Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock()
helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the
pipe code.
This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes.

Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions:
splice_from_pipe_begin()
splice_from_pipe_next()
splice_from_pipe_feed()
splice_from_pipe_end()
splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to
be added to the pipe. splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers
to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available
(or if all of the requested data has been copied).
This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the
non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed().
This patch should not cause any change in behavior.
