Platforms, such as IA64, have a per-cpu mapping for local cpu
data.  When we killed off asm/softirq.h, we removed the usage
of local_softirq_pending IA64 was using.  By defining a generic
version we can put the optimization back.

1) Every arch implemented local_bh_foo identically, move to
   linux/interrupt.h
2) Kill all asm/softirq.h references
3) Kill asm/softirq.h itself
4) Move local_bh_disable() out of line to kernel/softirq.c
5) Add BUG check on irqs_disabled() to local_bh_disable()

The queueing logic in scsi_lib looks really odd right now.

- Defers calling elv_next_request() until we actually think we can queue
  something. Always want to do that, request will have been marked
  REQ_STARTED after this, so block layer cannot touch it or merge to it.

- Kill the queue empty check. If elv_next_request() returned a req,
  there's one to queue.

Self explanatory, as per the discussion last week.

The SA1100 PCMCIA structure didn't lend itself well to the device
model.  With this reorganisation, we end up with a reasonable
structure which fits better with the driver model.  It is now
obvious that SA11x0-based socket drivers are separate from
SA1111-based socket drivers, and are treated as two separate drivers
by the driver model.

Trying to read the overlong target of a /proc/*/fd/N file descriptor
leads to a SIGSEGV inside the kernel, because the code doesn't check
for an error pointer return from d_path.

Bug 516.

Use schedule_delayed_work instead of a timer should fix this. Thanks
to Andrew Morton and Russell King.

(Added flush_scheduled_work() to ensure our delayed work completes
before we free the pcmcia_bus_socket structure. --rmk)

This adds support for i830 interrupt handling, and new improved
lock context keying. See per-file comments for more detail, as this
commit sadly mixes up a few different things (that's what you get
for not tracking the changes at a fine enough granularity).

The socket drivers already offer suspend and resume
capability. Integrate this with the driver model, based on a
suggestion by Russell King.

Also, remove two never-used functions from the socket drivers (to_ns).

Get this compile warning:
drivers/net/3c509.c:207: warning: `el3_device_remove' declared `static' but never defined
because the function definition is under
"#if defined(CONFIG_EISA) || defined(CONFIG_MCA)".

This patch puts the declaration under the same conditions.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't correct ;-)

M.

This patch updates the MACE ethernet driver, used on older powermacs,
to remove the uses of save_flags/restore_flags/cli/sti and use a
spinlock instead.

Jeff, please send this on to Linus.

Paul.

- No need to alloc dev->priv (due to init_etherdev usage)
- No need to kfree dev->priv (kfree'd with (dev) already)
