This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".
PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.
Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.
To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.

Add support for the TI VLYNQ high-speed, serial and packetized bus.
This bus allows external devices to be connected to the System-on-Chip and
appear in the main system memory just like any memory mapped peripheral.
It is widely used in TI's networking and multimedia SoC, including the AR7
SoC.

Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after
base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire,
usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use
generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because
during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct
i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is
initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem.
The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see
what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media
has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday
as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it
would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be
much bigger of a change, I think.

this patch flips the order in which sata and network drivers are initialized.
SATA probing takes quite a bit of time, and with the asynchronous infrastructure
other drivers that run after it can execute in parallel. Network drivers do tend
to take some real time talking to the hardware, so running these later is
a good thing (the sata probe then runs concurrent)
This saves about 15% of my kernels boot time.
Both Dave and Jeff acked this patch and suggested it should go via the async
tree.

Move regulator earlier in link sequence.
The regulator core currently initializes as a core_initcall() to be
available early ... but then it links way late, throwing away that
benefit, so regulators available at e.g. subsys_initcall() are not
available to subsystems which need to use them.

This moves the isp1301-omap driver from the drivers/i2c/chips
directory (which will be shrinking) into a new drivers/usb/otg
directory (which will grow, with more drivers and utilities).
Note that OTG infrastructure needs to be initialized before
either host or peripheral side USB support, and may be needed
before for pure host or pure peripheral configurations.

Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.
The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.
In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>

The Intel 7300 Memory Controller supports dynamic throttling of memory which can
be used to save power when system is idle. This driver does the memory
throttling when all CPUs are idle on such a system.
Refer to "Intel 7300 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)" datasheet
for the config space description.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.

This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support. This is meant to
be used by blind people e.g. on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted
etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.
