The rcu_dereference() primitive needs to be applied to an l-value in order to
ensure that compiler writers don't get an opportunity to apply reordering
optimizations that could result in multiple fetches or in other misbehavior.
This patch pulls the rcu_dereference() calls in bpq_seq_next() up to the point
at which the fetched pointers are still l-values, rather than after
list_entry() has transformed them into r-values.

The spidev driver doesn't currently expose all SPI communications modes to
userspace. This passes them all through to the driver.
Two of them are potentially troublesome, in the sense that they could cause
hardware conflicts on shared busses. It might be appropriate to add some
privilege checks for for those modes.

Is there a reason why the "online" file in the subdirectories for the CPUs
in /sys/devices/system isn't world-readable? I cannot imagine it to be
security relevant especially now that a getcpu() syscall can be used to
determine what CPUa thread runs on.
The file is useful to correctly implement the sysconf() function to return
the number of online CPUs. In the presence of hotplug we currently cannot
provide this information. The patch below should to it.

Revert 7e92b4fc345f5b6f57585fbe5ffdb0f24d7c9b26. It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)
This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."
It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something
that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel
platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year,
and your box won't have a serial port either! :)
I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to
rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why
risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?
It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.
Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.

During the transition to the ethtool_ops way of doing things, we supported
calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to
continue working. Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers
use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this.
The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer
needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported.
Also put a proper copyright statement on ethtool.c.

The bug that made us increase ESP_BUS_TIMEOUT to 275 turned out to be
a memset bug on 32-bit sparc.
It is better to put this back at the correct timeout value than to
leave it increased when there is no reason for doing so.
