c368b4921b Doc: move Documentation/exception.txt into x86 subdir
exception.txt only explains the code on x86, so it's better to
move it into Documentation/x86 directory.

And also rename it to exception-tables.txt which looks much
more reasonable.

This patch is on top of the previous one.

37c90e8887 [CPUFREQ] Mark policy_rwsem as going static in cpufreq.c wont be exported
lock_policy_rwsem_* and unlock_policy_rwsem_* routines in cpufreq.c are
currently exported to drivers. Improper use of those locks can
result in deadlocks and it is better to keep the locks localized.
Two previous in-kernel users of these interfaces (ondemand and conservative),
do not use this interfaces any more. Schedule them for removal.

0a6843483c V4L/DVB (12206): get_dvb_firmware: Correct errors in MPC718 firmware extraction logic
The extraction routine for the MPC718 "firmware" had 2 bugs in it, where one
bug masked the effect of the other.  The loop iteration should have set
$prevlen = $currlen at the end of the loop, and the if() check should have used
&& instead of || for deciding if the firmware length is reasonable.

02e7804b21 V4L/DVB (12138): em28xx: add support for Silvercrest Webcam
This webcam uses a em2710 chipset, that identifies itself as em2820,
plus a mt9v011 sensor, and a DY-301P lens.

It needs a few different initializations than a normal em28xx device.

Thanks to Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> and Douglas Landgraf
<dougsland@redhat.com> for providing the acces for the webcam during
this weekend, I could make a patch for it while returning back from
FISL/Fudcom LATAM 2009.

9f38a920b2 V4L/DVB (12181): get_dvb_firmware: Add Yuan MPC718 MT352 DVB-T "firmware" extraction
Add routine to support extracting the MT352 DVB-T demodulator initialization
sequence for Yuan MPC718 cards for use by the cx18 driver.

This routine uses a hueristic for extracting a good sequence.  It should work
on all different versions of the "yuanrap.sys" file, given the way the MT352
tuning sequences are stored in all versions of that file I have seen so far.
However, the current patch simply looks for one specific archive URL.

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).
