Make libata more robust when parsing the multi_count
field from a drive's identify data. This prevents us from
attempting to use dubious multi_count values ad infinitum.
Reset dev->multi_count to zero and reprobe it each time
through this routine, as it can change on device reset.
Also ensure that the reported "maximum" value is valid
and is a power of two, and that the reported "count" value
is valid and also a power of two. And that the "count"
value is not greater than the "maximum" value.

For Marvell SoC chips, the HDD LED does not blink when there is
disk I/O if NCQ is enabled. Add a quirk that enables blink mode for
the LED while NCQ is enabled on any port of a SoC host controller.
Normal LED function is restored when NCQ is not enabled on any port.
The code to enable the blink mode is based on earlier code
and suggestions from Frans Pop, Saeed Bishara, and possibly others.

Enable use of the "all ports" IRQ coalescing optimization
for GEN_II / GEN_IIE chips that have dual host-controllers (8-ports).
Currently only the 6081 chip qualifies, but other chips may come along someday.
Rather than each half of the chip having to satisfy a local set of coalescing thresholds,
use of this feature groups all ports together under a single set of thresholds.

Add IRQ coalescing to sata_mv (off by default).
This feature can reduce total interrupt overhead for RAID setups
in some situations, by deferring the interrupt signal until one or both of:
a) a specified io_count (completed SATA commands) is achieved, or
b) a specified time interval elapses after an IO completion.
For now, module parameters are used to set the irq_coalescing_io_count
and irq_coalescing_usecs (timeout) globally. These may eventually
be supplemented with sysfs attributes, so that thresholds can be set
on-the-fly and on a per-chip (or even per-host_controller) basis.

This is necessary for use with the upcoming "mv_qc_issue_fis()" patch,
but is being added separately here for easier code review.
When using command issue via the "mv_qc_issue_fis()" mechanism,
the initial ATA_BUSY bit does not show in the ATA status (shadow) register.
This can confuse libata! So here we add a hook to fake ATA_BUSY
for that situation, until the first time a BUSY, DRQ, or ERR bit is seen.

This also gets rid of any need for mv_mode_filter().
Using basic DMA on GEN_IIE requires setting an undocumented
bit in an undocumented register. For safety, we clear that
bit again when switching back to EDMA mode.
To avoid a performance penalty when switching modes,
we cache the register in port_priv, as already done for other regs.

Maintain a local (mv_port_priv) cache of frequently accessed registers,

There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable. This is
automatically handled by pci. Drop it.
This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during
boot. However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and
the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix.
Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever
disables IRQ for the controller. However, as this change has slight
possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream.

I'm not quite sure what freezing and thawing is used for. Tests showed
that the port is being frozen at initialisation state and thawed right
afterwards, then the functions were not called anymore. Dropping the
complete custom code for handling the frozen state seems to work at
least for a standard use case including mounting a partition, copying
some files in it (in parallel) and finally removing them and unmounting
the partition.

The biggest difference between rb532_pata_data_xfer() and
ata_sff_data_xfer32() is the call to ata_sff_pause() at the end of
rb532_pata_data_xfer() which I suppose to be unnecessary since it works
without. I've also tested using ata_sff_data_xfer() as replacement, but
since we know that the driver supports 32bit IO, using the optimised

The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without
deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface.
Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store
callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same
device over and over, e.g.
$ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done
If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API
and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its
callback handler will be called multiple times, and will
eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject,
leading to many problems.
Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to
implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in
the infrastructure.
Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled
callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject,
return -EAGAIN.
This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs
attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this
callback hokey pokey.

dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will
be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend
order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as
an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered
one.
This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers
to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:
1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of
vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace
uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless.
A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the
work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m1.142s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.540s
If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the
tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what
the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m0.152s
user 0m0.030s

platform_device->platform_data. This kind of conversion will
need a long time, for thousands of files is affected.
To make the conversion easily, we allow platform specific data
passed by struct device or struct platform_device and platform
driver may use it from struct device or struct platform_device.

This patch moves platform_data from struct device into
struct platform_device, based on the two ideas:
1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register,
which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter
of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from
platform_device;
2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can
decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device.
Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they
can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we
keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until
all platform devices pass its platfrom data from
platform_device->platform_data.
All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome.

Nothing outside of the driver core should ever touch knode_bus, so
move it out of the public eye.
