This reverts commit 49bbd815fd ("fb_defio:
fix for non-dirty ptes").
Although the fix provided is correct, it's been suggested to avoid the
underlying race in the same way as it is currently done in filesystems
like NFS, for maintainability.
A following patch "fb_defio: redo fix for non-dirty ptes" will provide
such an alternate fix.

The stack and data have different alignment requirements, so don't force
them to wear the same shoe. Increase the data alignment to match that
which the elf2flt linker script has always been using: 0x20 bytes. Not
only does this bring the kernel loader in line with the toolchain, but it
also fixes a swath of gcc tests which try to force larger alignment values
but randomly fail when the FLAT loader fails to deliver.

mtime and ctime should be changed only if the file size has actually
changed. Patches changing ext2 and tmpfs from vmtruncate to new truncate
sequence has caused regressions where they always update timestamps.
There is some strange cases in POSIX where truncate(2) must not update
times unless the size has acutally changed, see 6e656be89.
This area is all still rather buggy in different ways in a lot of
filesystems and needs a cleanup and audit (ideally the vfs will provide
a simple attribute or call to direct all filesystems exactly which
attributes to change). But coming up with the best solution will take a
while and is not appropriate for rc anyway.
So fix recent regression for now.

For write(), any data copied to the data buffer after the previously
set up streaming acquisition command has finished won't be used, but a
non-empty write() does not currently return 0 (or -EPIPE on error) after
the command has finished until the data buffer has been filled up.
Change this behavior to return 0 (or -EPIPE) any time after the command
has finished, without bothering to fill up the buffer with more useless
data.

The Addi-Data PCI drivers for Comedi use sprintf() in their comedi
"attach" routine to construct a string to pass as the name in the call
to request_irq(). All calls to "attach" routine share the same static
buffer for this name, but the contents will differ on each call
(including the comedi device number and the comedi board name). This
changes the name displayed in /proc/interrupts for previous calls to
request_irq() using the same buffer. Just use the board name instead;
it has slightly less information (no comedi device number) but at least
it doesn't change over the lifetime of the IRQ handler.
