Loosen gpio_{request,free}() and gpio_direction_{in,out}put() call context
restrictions slightly, so a common idiom is no longer an error: board init
code setting up spinlock-safe GPIOs before tasking is enabled.

The issue was caught by some paranoid code with might_sleep() checks.  The
legacy platform-specific GPIO interfaces stick to spinlock-safe GPIOs, so this

Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the
maximum slab size.  Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB.

So define a common maximum size for kmalloc.  For conveniences sake we use
the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB.  We limit the maximum size
to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations.

For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large
kmalloc sizes.  x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes.  So a small amount of
memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically
sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past)

Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to
MAX_ORDER.  We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the
number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct
grew beyond what the slab allocators supported.  This will avoid future
issues and f.e.  avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support.

CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it.

It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

There is no user of destructors left.  There is no reason why we should keep
checking for destructors calls in the slab allocators.

The RFC for this patch was discussed at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117882364330705&w=2

Destructors were mainly used for list management which required them to take a
spinlock.  Taking a spinlock in a destructor is a bit risky since the slab
allocators may run the destructors anytime they decide a slab is no longer
needed.

Patch drops destructor support.  Any attempt to use a destructor will BUG().

In commit e3c7db62 we fixed the resume
ordering, so that the ACPI low-level resume code was called before the
actual driver resume was called. However, that broke the nesting logic
of suspend and resume, and we continued to suspend the devices _after_
we the ACPI device suspend code was called.

That resulted in us saving PCI state for devices that had already been
changed by ACPI, and in some cases disabled entirely (causing the PCI
save_state to be all-ones).  Which in turn caused the wrong state to be
written back on resume.

This moves the ACPI device suspend to after the device model per-device
suspend() calls. This fixes the bogus state save.
