This patch adds Generic time-of-day support for the ARM architecture.
The support is currently added using #ifdef's so that it can support
sub-arches that do not (yet) have a clocksource added. As sub-arches
add clocksource support, they should 'select GENERIC_TIME'

This patch removes the static memory mapping for the currently-unused
peripherals [Synchronous Serial, Timer/Counter unit], and for those
drivers that already ioremap() their registers [UART].
Also, the Ethernet driver now uses the platform_device resources but
doesn't yet use ioremap() so we need to pass it the virtual address
instead of the physical address.

Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps as well. The atomic ops,
bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
is used. That results in slightly better code.
Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.

The clocksource infrastructure introduced with commit
ad596171ed635c51a9eef829187af100cbf8dcf7 broke 31 bit s390.
The reason is that the do_div() primitive for 31 bit always
had a restriction: it could only divide an unsigned 64 bit
integer by an unsigned 31 bit integer. The clocksource code
now uses do_div() with a base value that has the most
significant bit set. The result is that clock->cycle_interval
has a funny value which causes the linux time to jump around
like mad.
The solution is "obvious": implement a proper __div64_32
function for 31 bit s390.

This patch (as739) adds the basic infrastructure for USB autosuspend
and autoresume. The main features are:
PM usage counters added to struct usb_device and struct
usb_interface, indicating whether it's okay to autosuspend
them or they are currently in use.
Flag added to usb_device indicating whether the current
suspend/resume operation originated from outside or as an
autosuspend/autoresume.
Flag added to usb_driver indicating whether the driver
supports autosuspend. If not, no device bound to the driver
will be autosuspended.
Mutex added to usb_device for protecting PM operations.
Unlike the device semaphore, the locking rule for the pm_mutex
is that you must acquire the locks going _up_ the device tree.
New routines handling autosuspend/autoresume requests for
interfaces and devices.
Suspend and resume requests are propagated up the device tree
(but not outside the USB subsystem).
work_struct added to usb_device, for carrying out delayed
autosuspend requests.
Autoresume added (and autosuspend prevented) during probe and
disconnect.

As part of the ongoing program to flatten out the HCD bus-glue layer,
this patch (as771b) eliminates the hcpriv, release, and kref fields
from struct usb_bus. hcpriv and release were not being used for
anything worthwhile, and kref has been moved into the enclosing
usb_hcd structure.
Along with those changes, the patch gets rid of usb_bus_get and
usb_bus_put, replacing them with usb_get_hcd and usb_put_hcd.
The one interesting aspect is that the dev_set_drvdata call was
removed from usb_put_hcd, where it clearly doesn't belong. This means
the driver private data won't get reset to NULL. It shouldn't cause
any problems, since the private data is undefined when no driver is
bound.

All of the currently-supported USB host controller drivers use the HCD
bus-glue framework. As part of the program for flattening out the glue
layer, this patch (as769) removes the usb_operations structure. All
function calls now go directly to the HCD routines (slightly renamed
to remain within the "usb_" namespace).
The patch also removes usb_alloc_bus(), because it's not useful in the
HCD framework and it wasn't referenced anywhere.

This driver is glue between the USB gadget interface
and the ALSA MIDI interface. It allows us to appear
as a MIDI Streaming device to a host system on the
other end of a USB cable.
This includes linux/usb/audio.h and linux/usb/midi.h
containing definitions from the relevant USB specifications
for USB audio and USB MIDI devices.
The following changes have been made since the first RFC
posting:
* Bug fixes to endpoint handling.
* Workaround for USB_REQ_SET_CONFIGURATION handling,
not understood yet.
* Added SND and SND_RAWMIDI dependencies in Kconfig.
* Moved usb_audio.h and usb_midi.h to usb/*.h
* Added module parameters for ALSA card index and id.
* Added module parameters for USB descriptor IDs and strings.
* Removed some unneeded stuff inherited from zero.c, more to go.
* Provide DECLARE_* macros for the variable-length structs.
* Use kmalloc instead of usb_ep_alloc_buffer.
* Limit source to 80 columns.
* Return actual error code instead of -ENOMEM in a few places.

Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking
whether intf is suspended. This is not a reliable technique because
that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore. This patch (as718b)
adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are
suspended and which aren't.
At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces
will be suspended along with their devices. It turns out there are a
couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as
while processing a remote-wakeup request.

This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an
interface. Support routines like usb_register_device_driver,
usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device
are also added.
Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe. To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper. This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

This updates the PXA 25x UDC board-independent infrastructure for VBUS sensing
and the D+ pullup. The original code evolved from rather bizarre support on
Intel's "Lubbock" reference hardware, so that on more sensible hardware it
doesn't work as well as it could/should.
The change is just to teach the UDC driver how to use built-in PXA GPIO pins
directly. This reduces the amount of board-specfic object code needed, and
enables the use of a VBUS sensing IRQ on boards (like Gumstix) that have one.
With VBUS sensing, the UDC is unclocked until a host is actually connected.

In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.
Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being
in cache.

and the in-module alias like:
eisa:sTCM5093*
The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.
There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.
The rationale for this patch is:
a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
support, to unify driver loading
b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
(who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)
