bff38771e1 netpoll: Introduce netpoll_carrier_timeout kernel option
Some PHYs require longer timeouts for carrier detection, and
auto-negotiation process may take indefinite amount of time.

It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs,
so let's introduce a kernel command line option.

Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be
changed in runtime.

b37f2d4de6 cpusets: document adding/removing cpus to cpuset elaborately
By writing a tasks's pid to the file, a process adds that task to that
cgroup/cpuset.  But to add a cpu/mem to a cpuset, the new list of cpus
should be written to the cpuset.mems file which would replace the old list
of cpus.  Make this clearer in the documentation.

b55f627fee spi: new spi->mode bits
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:

 * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
   line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
   full duplex.

   This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
   chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
   transitions with the SPI master.

 * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
   to pause the clock.  This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
   4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
   each of the 3-wire flavors).

   Such hardware flow control can be a big win.  There are ADC
   converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
   many host controllers support it today.

The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack.  That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

4698c1f2bb kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file
Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it
makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This
patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an
intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex
covers all the cases now).

bab4a34afc kmemleak: Simplify the reports logged by the scanning thread
Because of false positives, the memory scanning thread may print too
much information. This patch changes the scanning thread to only print
the number of newly suspected leaks. Further information can be read

a9d9058aba kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky)

Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these
happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal
buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch
adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes
the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

236e946b53 Revert "PCI: use ACPI _CRS data by default"
This reverts commit 9e9f46c44e.

Quoting from the commit message:

 "At this point, it seems to solve more problems than it causes, so let's
  try using it by default.  It's an easy revert if it ends up causing
  trouble."

And guess what? The _CRS code causes trouble.
