CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG is no longer used to turn on dev_dbg() in PNP,
since we have pnp_dbg() which can be enabled at boot-time, so
this patch removes the config option.
Note that pnp_dock_event() checks "#ifdef DEBUG". But there's
never been a clear path for enabling that via configgery. It
happened that CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG enabled it after 1bd17e63a068db6,
but that was accidental and only in 2.6.26.

We already did that a long time ago for pnp_system_init, but
pnpacpi_init and pnpbios_init remained as subsys_initcalls, and get
linked into the kernel before the arch-specific routines that finalize
the PCI resources (pci_subsys_init).
This means that the PnP routines would either register their resources
before the PCI layer could, or would be unable to check whether a PCI
resource had already been registered. Both are problematic.
I wanted to do this before 2.6.27, but every time we change something
like this, something breaks. That said, _every_ single time we trust
some firmware (like PnP tables) more than we trust the hardware itself
(like PCI probing), the problems have been worse.

ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, and ACPI describe the "possible resource settings" of
a device, i.e., the possibilities an OS bus driver has when it assigns
I/O port, MMIO, and other resources to the device.
PNP used to maintain this "possible resource setting" information in
one independent option structure and a list of dependent option
structures for each device. Each of these option structures had lists
of I/O, memory, IRQ, and DMA resources, for example:
dev
independent options
ind-io0 -> ind-io1 ...
ind-mem0 -> ind-mem1 ...
...
dependent option set 0
dep0-io0 -> dep0-io1 ...
dep0-mem0 -> dep0-mem1 ...
...
dependent option set 1
dep1-io0 -> dep1-io1 ...
dep1-mem0 -> dep1-mem1 ...
...
...
This data structure was designed for ISAPNP, where the OS configures
device resource settings by writing directly to configuration
registers. The OS can write the registers in arbitrary order much
like it writes PCI BARs.
However, for PNPBIOS and ACPI devices, the OS uses firmware interfaces
that perform device configuration, and it is important to pass the
desired settings to those interfaces in the correct order. The OS
learns the correct order by using firmware interfaces that return the
"current resource settings" and "possible resource settings," but the
option structures above doesn't store the ordering information.
This patch replaces the independent and dependent lists with a single
list of options. For example, a device might have possible resource
settings like this:
dev
options
ind-io0 -> dep0-io0 -> dep1->io0 -> ind-io1 ...
All the possible settings are in the same list, in the order they
come from the firmware "possible resource settings" list. Each entry
is tagged with an independent/dependent flag. Dependent entries also
have a "set number" and an optional priority value. All dependent
entries must be assigned from the same set. For example, the OS can
use all the entries from dependent set 0, or all the entries from
dependent set 1, but it cannot mix entries from set 0 with entries
from set 1.
Prior to this patch PNP didn't keep track of the order of this list,
and it assigned all independent options first, then all dependent
ones. Using the example above, that resulted in a "desired
configuration" list like this:
ind->io0 -> ind->io1 -> depN-io0 ...
instead of the list the firmware expects, which looks like this:
ind->io0 -> depN-io0 -> ind-io1 ...

When building resource options, ISAPNP and PNPBIOS set the priority
to something like "0x100 | PNP_RES_PRIORITY_ACCEPTABLE", but we
immediately mask off the 0x100 again in pnp_build_option(), so that
bit looks superfluous.

This patch moves all the option allocations (pnp_mem, pnp_port, etc)
into the pnp_register_{mem,port,irq,dma}_resource() functions. This
will make it easier to rework the option data structures.
The non-trivial part of this patch is the IRQ handling. The backends
have to allocate a local pnp_irq_mask_t bitmap, populate it, and pass
a pointer to pnp_register_irq_resource().

PNP used to have a fixed-size pnp_resource_table for tracking the
resources used by a device. This table often overflowed, so we've
had to increase the table size, which wastes memory because most
devices have very few resources.
This patch replaces the table with a linked list of resources where
the entries are allocated on demand.
This removes messages like these:
pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources
00:01: too many I/O port resources
References:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9740
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/30/110
This patch also changes the way PNP uses the IORESOURCE_UNSET,
IORESOURCE_AUTO, and IORESOURCE_DISABLED flags.
Prior to this patch, the pnp_resource_table entries used the flags
like this:
IORESOURCE_UNSET
This table entry is unused and available for use. When this flag
is set, we shouldn't look at anything else in the resource structure.
This flag is set when a resource table entry is initialized.
IORESOURCE_AUTO
This resource was assigned automatically by pnp_assign_{io,mem,etc}().
This flag is set when a resource table entry is initialized and
cleared whenever we discover a resource setting by reading an ISAPNP
config register, parsing a PNPBIOS resource data stream, parsing an
ACPI _CRS list, or interpreting a sysfs "set" command.
Resources marked IORESOURCE_AUTO are reinitialized and marked as
IORESOURCE_UNSET by pnp_clean_resource_table() in these cases:
- before we attempt to assign resources automatically,
- if we fail to assign resources automatically,
- after disabling a device
IORESOURCE_DISABLED
Set by pnp_assign_{io,mem,etc}() when automatic assignment fails.
Also set by PNPBIOS and PNPACPI for:
- invalid IRQs or GSI registration failures
- invalid DMA channels
- I/O ports above 0x10000
- mem ranges with negative length
After this patch, there is no pnp_resource_table, and the resource list
entries use the flags like this:
IORESOURCE_UNSET
This flag is no longer used in PNP. Instead of keeping
IORESOURCE_UNSET entries in the resource list, we remove
entries from the list and free them.
IORESOURCE_AUTO
No change in meaning: it still means the resource was assigned
automatically by pnp_assign_{port,mem,etc}(), but these functions
now set the bit explicitly.
We still "clean" a device's resource list in the same places,
but rather than reinitializing IORESOURCE_AUTO entries, we
just remove them from the list.
Note that IORESOURCE_AUTO entries are always at the end of the
list, so removing them doesn't reorder other list entries.
This is because non-IORESOURCE_AUTO entries are added by the
ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, or PNPACPI "get resources" methods and by the
sysfs "set" command. In each of these cases, we completely free
the resource list first.
IORESOURCE_DISABLED
In addition to the cases where we used to set this flag, ISAPNP now
adds an IORESOURCE_DISABLED resource when it reads a configuration
register with a "disabled" value.

Add pnp_init_resources(struct pnp_dev *) to replace
pnp_init_resource_table(), which takes a pointer to the
pnp_resource_table itself. Passing only the pnp_dev * reduces
the possibility for error in the caller and removes the

export pnp_init_resources() because it is used only by the PNP

There are three kind of parse functions provided by PNP acpi/bios:
- get current resources
- set resources
- get possible resources
The first two may be needed later at runtime.
The possible resource settings should never change dynamically.
And even if this would make any sense (I doubt it), the current implementation
only parses possible resource settings at early init time:
-> declare all the option parsing __init

Three main sets of changes:
1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
since callers should not be changing that data.
2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
that data area.
3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
in low-level drivers.
And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.
The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Use menuconfigs instead of menus, so the whole menu can be disabled at once
instead of going through all options.

This series converts i386 and x86_64 legacy serial ports to be platform
devices and prevents probing for them if we have PNP.
This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy
probe and by 8250_pnp.
This also prevents the serial driver from claiming IRDA devices (unless they
have a UART PNP ID). The serial legacy probe sometimes assumed the wrong IRQ,
so the user had to use "setserial" to fix it.
Removing the need for setserial to make IRDA devices work seems good, but it
does break some things. In particular, you may need to keep setserial from
poking legacy UART stuff back in by doing something like "dpkg-reconfigure
setserial" with the "kernel" option. Otherwise, the setserial-discovered
"UART" will claim resources and prevent the IRDA driver from loading.
This patch:
If we can discover devices using PNP, we can skip some legacy probes. This
flag ("pnp_platform_devices") indicates that PNPBIOS or PNPACPI is enabled and
should tell us about builtin devices.

This patches modifies the pnpbios kernel thread to start with ktrhead_run
not kernel_thread and deamonize. Doing this makes the code a little
simpler and easier to maintain.
