- Move bio helpers to swsusp.
- Convert swsusp to use them, rathen buffer_heads.
- Expose and fix up calls in pmdisk.
- Clean up swsusp::read_suspend_image() a bit.

- Split do_magic into swsusp_arch_suspend() and swsusp_arch_resume().
- Clean up based on pmdisk implementation
  - Only save registers we need to.
  - Use rep;movsl for copying, rather than doing each byte.
- Create swsusp_suspend and swsusp_resume wrappers for calling the assmebly
  routines that:
  - Call {save,restore}_processor_state() in each. 
  - Disable/enable interrupts in each. 
- Call swsusp_{suspend,restore} in software_{suspend,resume}
- Kill all the do_magic_* functions.
- Remove prototypes from linux/suspend.h
- Remove similar pmdisk functions.
- Update calls in kernel/power/disk.c to use swsusp versions.

- Move call out of assembly-callbacks and into software_suspend() after
  do_magic() returns. 

- Split count_and_copy_data_pages() into count_data_pages() and 
  copy_data_pages(). 
- Move helper saveable() from pmdisk to swsusp, and update to work with 
  page zones. 
- Get rid of uneeded defines in pmdisk.

- Move helpers calc_order(), alloc_pagedir(), alloc_image_pages(), 
  enough_free_mem(), and enough_swap() into swsusp. 
- Wrap them all with a new function - swsusp_alloc().
- Fix up pmdisk to just call that.
- Fix up suspend_prepare_image() to call that, instead of doing it inline.

- Introduce helpers to swsusp - swsusp_write_page(), swsusp_data_write() and
  swsusp_data_free(). 
- Delete duplicate copies from pmdisk and fixup names in calls. 
- Clean up write_suspend_image() in swsusp and use the helpers.

- In pmdisk, change pm_pagedir_nosave back to pagedir_nosave, and 
  pmdisk_pages back to nr_copy_pages.
- Mark them, and other page count/pagedir variables extern.
- Make sure they're not static in swsusp.
- Remove mention from include/linux/suspend.h, since no one else needs them.

- Use read_swapfiles() in swsusp and rename to swsusp_swap_check().
- Use lock_swapdevices() in swsusp and rename to swsusp_swap_lock().

- Expose and use version in swsusp.

This patch fixes a hard-to-trigger condition, where the inode is on the
inode_in_use list while it's state is dirty.  In this state dirty pages are
not written back in sync() or from kupdate, only from direct page reclaim. 
And this causes a livelock in balance_dirty_pages after a while.

The actual sequence of events required to get into this state is:

thread   function                             inode state         inode list
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 __sync_single_inode (background)            I_DIRTY             sb->s_io
1 do_writepages ...                           I_LOCKED
2 __writeback_single_inode (sync) sleeps      I_LOCKED
1 __sync_single_inode (background) finish     0                   inode_in_use
2 __writeback_single_inode (sync) wakeup      0
2 __sync_single_inode (sync)                  0 
2 do_writepages ...                           I_LOCKED
3 __mark_inode_dirty                          I_LOCKED | I_DIRTY
2 __sync_single_inode (sync) finish           I_DIRTY             left on
                                                                  inode_in_use

Patch for our console driver.  We converted the driver to use the serial
core functions.  Also some changes to use sysfs/udev and a new major
number.

partially annotated, fixed dereferencing of userland pointer (trivial,
since we'd just copied the entire structure).

Massive, but trivial - drm annotated and got 0->NULL where needed.  That
patch kills ~2200 lines of warnings - out of 5400 that remained at that
point.

the rest of iovec cleanups: nbd, dvb-net, sock.c::sock_no_sendpage(),
econet over udp and ip_vs switched to use of kvec and kernel_...msg().

sunrpc, nfs and nfsd switched to use of kvec and kernel_...msg()

rxrpc (low-level part of afs) switched to kernel_...msg(); it already was
using kvec instead of iovec.

cifs switched to kvec and kernel_...msg()

ncpfs switched to kvec and kernel_...msg()

smbfs switched to kvec and kernel_...msg()

Beginning of iovec cleanups - added two helpers (kernel_{send,recv}msg)
that do sock_sendmsg/sock_recvmsg with kvec instead of iovec; basically,
they were abstracted from earlier afs patch.  They take kvec/length of
kvec as separate arguments, do set_fs(), stick kvec into msghdr and call
sock_...msg(). 

The next group of patches will switch network filesystems to use of kvec
for kernel data + use of these helpers.  Basically, the same thing we'd
done for afs.

switched to compat_alloc_user_space(), cleaned up.

 - missing ; between default: and } in sun4setup.c
 - cast of pointer to unsigned long long instead of unsigned long in
   x86_64 signal.c
 - missed annotations for ioctl structure in sparc64 openpromio.h
   (should've been in the same patch as the rest of drivers/sbus/*
   annotations)
 - 0->NULL in list.h and pmdisk.c

A bunch of drivers are broken on sparc64; mark them as such in Kconfig.
arlan and smctr are not 64bit-clean; again, markes as such.

The au88x0 driver tries to use the wrong private field - there are two,
one of them int and another void *.

While it's not a problem on 32bot boxen, it breaks on 64bit ones. 

Fixed.

This works around the current PROT_NONE problem from elf binaries that
do not have the PT_GNU_STACK so that the do not have execute permission.

The problem was that setting "def_flags" to include the VM_EXEC bit for
compatibility reasons would also make PROT_NONE pages executable, which
is obviously not correct.

I got sidetracked (I do that a lot ;-) and noticed that there are only
eight files in 2.6 that have code like:

#ifdef MODULE_PARAM
MODULE_PARAM(foo, "i");
#endif

which I think is old cruft from 2.1.x times.  Following patch removes
all those eight (six in netfilter, one net driver and one SCSI driver).

Writing to RAM capable media was broken by the moving of write flag
detection from probe to drive open time.  The media would stay
terminally RO due to the set_disk_ro() call. 

This fixes the code to do the right thing - the detection stays at open
time (which it must, since it depends on the media), and we fail with
-EROFS if the media can't be written.
