affs wants to truncate the inode when the last user goes away, currently it
does that through a potentially racy i_count check in ->put_inode. But we
already have a method that's called just after the we dropped the last
reference, ->drop_inode. This patch implements affs_drop_inode to take
advantage of this.

For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing. Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher
or same priority thread that is on the runqueue and if there is one
context switches to it. Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.
A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available. To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.
Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair. SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler
knows how to calculcate cpu_context.prio (very soon)

- various functionality is split out into small helpers, and kerneldoc

For node-aware skb allocations we need information about the node in struct
net_device or struct device. Davem suggested to put it into struct device
which this patch does.
In particular:
- struct device gets a new int numa_node member if CONFIG_NUMA is set
- there are two new helpers, dev_to_node and set_dev_node to
transparently deal with the non-numa case
- for pci devices the node-info is set to the value we get from
pcibus_to_node.
Note that for some architectures pcibus_to_node doesn't work yet at the time
we call it currently. This is harmless and will just mean skb allocations
aren't node-local on this architectures until the implementation of
pcibus_to_node on these architectures have been updated (There are patches for
x86 and x86_64 floating around)

I wanted to add some BUG checks to scsi_prep_fn to make sure no one
sends us a non-sg command, but this function is a horrible mess.
So I decided to detangle the function and document what the valid
cases are. While doing that I found that REQ_TYPE_SPECIAL commands
aren't used by the SCSI layer anymore and we can get rid of the code
handling them.
The new structure of scsi_prep_fn is:
(1) check if we're allowed to send this command
(2) big switch on cmd_type. For the two valid types call into
a function to set the command up, else error
(3) code to handle error cases
Because FS and BLOCK_PC commands are handled entirely separate after
the patch this introduces a tiny amount of code duplication. This
improves readabiulity though and will help to avoid the bidi command
overhead for FS commands so it's a good thing.

Since early 2.4.x all cdrom drivers implement the block_device methods
themselves, so they can handle additional ioctls directly instead of going
through the cdrom layer.

Currently lockd directly access the file_lock_list from fs/locks.c.
It does so to mark locks granted or reclaimable. This is very
suboptimal, because a) lockd needs to poke into locks.c internals, and
b) it needs to iterate over all locks in the system for marking locks
granted or reclaimable.
This patch adds lists for granted and reclaimable locks to the nlm_host
structure instead, and adds locks to those.
nlmclnt_lock:
now adds the lock to h_granted instead of setting the
NFS_LCK_GRANTED, still O(1)
nlmclnt_mark_reclaim:
goes away completely, replaced by a list_splice_init.
Complexity reduced from O(locks in the system) to O(1)
reclaimer:
iterates over h_reclaim now, complexity reduced from
O(locks in the system) to O(locks per nlm_host)

Typical use for of_find_node_by_name and of_find_node_by_type is to
iterate over all nodes of a given type/name. Add a helper macro to
do that (in spirit of the list_for_each* macros).

Replace the eh_timed_out method usage with setting sdev->timeout in
slave_configure. Also only use the extended timeout for raid volumes,
physical devices shouldn't need it.

The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for
__put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that
patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as
__put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular
code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold
references to task_structs.
This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into
__put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

Use the kthread_ API instead of opencoding lots of hairy code for kernel
thread creation and teardown.
Also switch from semaphore-based thread wakeup to wake_up_process.

New version that switches to the common onstack completion and just a
pointer in the platform_data struct idiom. This gets rid of all the
flags fiddling.

Adds support to retrieve the enclosure and bay identifiers. This patch
is from Eric with minor modifications from me, rewritten from a buggy

This patch hides the devices completely from the midlayer instead.
It requires the patch to handle the slave_configure failure I posted

This function is completely unused since the xattr permission checking
changes. Remove it and fold __reiserfs_permission into
