This patch converts scsi core to use the module_param interfaces
(except for the hosts.c scsihosts usage).

With this applied, boot time (non-module) command line setting of scsi
parameters must be prefixed by what the scsi module name would be
(scsi_mod), for example:

	scsi_mod.scsi_logging_level=0x180 scsi_mod.scsi_default_dev_flags=0x1
	scsi_mod.max_scsi_luns=5

Usage of scsi_mod as above is a bit ugly and long - if this patch is
applied, we should consider renaming scsi.c to scsi_main.c or similiar,
and scsi_mod.o to scsi.o. Or, somehow get our prefix set to "scsi".

dito

This is the same procedure most of the scsi source files
got a while ago.

sdev->access_count is incremented not only by sd but also e.g. by
sg.  Now if sd opens first, then sg, then sd closes and sg last
medium removal will still be prevented.

Add a counter in scsi_disk for doorlocking instead.

Current code just puts the driver name into it which is utterly useless

This allows us to kill the horrible scsi_host_legacy_release hack.
Note that the new ->release methods still seem to be incorrect in
some case, but I really want to kill that hack in core code not
to make all drivers perfect.

 - Make some more options depend on bus types
 - Eliminate the Kconfig option for 53c7,8xx and some references to it
 - Eliminate the original sym53c8xx driver from the config (leave it in the
   makefile for now though)
 - Merge the m68k Kconfig bits into the main scsi Kconfig file
 - Tidy up some formatting

There is a typo in the current 2.5.70 bk version of class_device_release that
was not there in my original patch.  By confusing the class and the class_device,
the release function oops.  cd->release is always the function itself (class_device_release),
cls->release is the one setup for the class (net_class in my case).

i2c-core.c contains 2 loops that iterate over the list of the clients attached
to an adapter and detaches them. Detaching the clients will actually remove
them from the list the loop is iterating over. Therefore the
list_for_each_safe() method has to be used.

This patch fixes the various return values in the w83781d_detect()
error paths.  It also cleans up some formatting here and there.
It should be applied on top of the previous one.

It works for me; same caveat as above w.r.t. ISA.

Now the only users of this directly should be the pci core and arch specific
pci core code.

This will let not have to export the pci_devices variable.

This makes the driver build properly now, and removes a direct access
of the pci_devices variable.

Yeah, this is commented out code, but just trying to be complete...

This patch gets rid of CONFIG_ALL_PPC, which was a very confusing
option, since it didn't actually mean "ALL" at all, it was more a
"common set" thing.

The primary replacement for CONFIG_ALL_PPC is CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM.
I have also defined CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, CONFIG_PPC_PREP and CONFIG_PPC_CHRP
for selecting code which is only needed for one of the three platforms
that CONFIG_ALL_PPC represented.  This is something that we (the PPC
community) have been talking about doing for some time.  There is also a
CONFIG_PPC_OF which is for PPC machines with Open Firmware, which is
currently powermacs and CHRP machines.

At the moment, CONFIG_PPC_{PMAC,PREP,CHRP,OF} get unconditionally
defined if CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is selected, but in future this
split will let us have more control over what gets included, so that
for example we don't necessarily have to include powermac bits in a
kernel for a PReP machine.

I have gone through the uses of CONFIG_ALL_PPC one by one and decided
which of the new symbols best represents the set of machines that need
the code in question.  In fact most of the uses of CONFIG_ALL_PPC in
the drivers have been replaced by CONFIG_PPC_PMAC.  The other symbols
are mostly confined to the PPC architecture code.

and fix the start/stop thing as well. I think this is all of them.

you should not drop errors.
  - proper error detection during initialisation

this cuts out old cruft.

Yep, my patch killed hid-input from scanning HID_OUTPUT_REPORT's. Fixed
with this patch for 2.5.70+bk. I'll send one for 2.4.x in a few minutes.

A few choice handling fixes:
- only visible choice values define the new state of the complete choice
- improve handling of choices without visible value
- two new warnings

If /proc/mdstat is large, or reads are for a small size,
then the last line of /proc/mdstat is repeated infinitely.

This patch will fix it.

Some paths free things twice, others free un-initialised values :-(
Not any more.
