The infrared remote receiver found in the SantaRosa MacBookPro
laptops (MacBookPro3,1) need to be forced to expose a HIDDEV
interface (instead of HIDINPUT) so that lirc can access it using
the 'macmini' driver.
The patch below adds the required quirk for forcing the HIDDEV
interface to be activated (HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV) and introduces a new
quirk which forces the HIDINPUT interface to be ignored
(HID_QUIRK_IGNORE_HIDINPUT).
Note that Apple calls this receiver 'IRController4' (info taken
from Apple's driver Info.plist). Older Mac{Book,Mini,Pro}s seem
to all use the 'IRController1' device (USB id 05ac:8240) which
doesn't need those quirks.

HUT 1.12 defines Spell Check usage 0x1ab in Consumer page. There are
keyboards out there emitting this usage code (for example Microsoft
Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000). Add this key so that HID code could

Rename I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_HWPEC_CALC as I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_PEC, and list that
functionality as always available through the software implementation.
Update documentation accordingly (and list similar requirements).
The way it's currently packaged doesn't present the capability in a

Move the i2c-dev support into <linux/i2c-dev.h> where it should always
have lived. Now <linux/i2c.h> no longer holds stuff related to the

This removes:
- An effectively unused hook: i2c_algorithm.algo_control.
- The i2c_control() call, used only by i2c-dev to call that
unused hook or set two barely supported adapter params.
(That param setting moves into i2c-dev.c ... still iffy
due to lack of locking, but no other changes.)
As shown by diffstat, this is a net code shrink. It also reduces the
complexity of the I2C adapter and /dev interfaces.

We need to be able to flag I2C devices, such as RTCs, which can issue wake
events (usually through IRQ lines). This adds an i2c_board_info.flags bit,
and uses it to initialize the i2c device node. (And shrinks a few lines
that were overly long.)

I2C devices do not have any form of ID as PCI or USB devices have.
No driver uses "MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...)" because it doesn't
make sense. So we can get rid of struct i2c_device_id and the
associated support code.

code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n") we got a new section -

Unfortunately, the commit in question forgot to add it to TEXT_TEXT,

* Convert {ide_hwif_t,ide_pci_device_t}->host_flag to be u16.

in au1xxx-ide, amd74xx, cs5530, cs5535, pdc202xx_new, sc1200, pmac
and via82cxxx host drivers.
* Add IDE_HFLAG_NO_SET_MODE host flag to indicate the need to completely
skip programming of host/device for the transfer mode ("smart" hosts).
Set it in it821x host driver and check it in ide_tune_dma().
* Add ide_set_pio_mode()/ide_set_dma_mode() helpers and convert all
direct ->set_pio_mode/->speedproc users to use these helpers.
* Move ide_config_drive_speed() calls from ->set_pio_mode/->speedproc
methods to callers.
* Rename ->speedproc method to ->set_dma_mode, make it void and update
all implementations accordingly.
* Update ide_set_xfer_rate() comments.
* Unexport ide_config_drive_speed().
v2:
* Fix issues noticed by Sergei:
- export ide_set_dma_mode() instead of moving ->set_pio_mode abuse wrt
to setting DMA modes from sc1200_set_pio_mode() to do_special()
- check IDE_HFLAG_NO_SET_MODE in ide_tune_dma()
- check for (hwif->set_pio_mode) == NULL in ide_set_pio_mode()
- check for (hwif->set_dma_mode) == NULL in ide_set_dma_mode()
- return -1 from ide_set_{pio,dma}_mode() if ->set_{pio,dma}_mode == NULL
- don't set ->set_{pio,dma}_mode on it821x in "smart" mode
- fix build problem in pmac.c
- minor fixes in au1xxx-ide.c/cs5530.c/siimage.c
- improve patch description
Changes in behavior caused by this patch:
- HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE ioctl would now return -ENOSYS for attempts to change
PIO mode if it821x controller is in "smart" mode
- removal of two debugging printk-s (from cs5530.c and sc1200.c)
- transfer modes 0x00-0x07 passed from user space may be programmed twice on
the device (not really an issue since 0x00 is not supported correctly by
any host driver ATM, 0x01 is not supported at all and 0x02-0x07 are invalid)

* Add "good DMA drives" hack for icside to ide-dma.c::ide_find_dma_mode()
(in the long-term it should be either removed or generalized for all hosts).
* Use ide_tune_dma() in icside.c::icside_dma_check().
This results in the following changes in behavior:
- pre-EIDE SWDMA modes are now also respected
- drive->autodma is checked instead of hwif->autodma
(doesn't really matter as icside sets both to "1")

Use ide_config_drive_speed() instead of pmac_ide_do_setfeature() and remove
the latter, also ide-iops.c::__ide_wait_stat() could be static again.
Since for IDE PMAC host driver IDE_CONTROL_REG is always true, device's
->quirk_list is always zero and ->ide_dma_host_{on,off} are nops than
the only changes in behavior are:
* if PIO mode is set then ->dma_off_queitly is called to disable DMA
* if setting transfer mode fails ide_dump_status() is called to dump status
v2:
* IDE PMAC controllers allow separate PIO and DMA timings and PPC userland
depends on this fact, and calls "hdparm -p" without calling "hdparm -d".
Therefore to compensate for DMA being disabled by ide_config_drive_speed()
for PIO modes:
- add IDE_HFLAG_SET_PIO_MODE_KEEP_DMA flag and set it in PMAC host driver
- add handling of the new flag to ide-io.c::do_special()

* Use the new helper in ide_config_drive_speed(). The only change in the
functionality is that the function now fails if after 20 sec (WAIT_CMD)
device is still busy (BUSY_STAT bit is set) while previously instead of
failing the function continued with checking for the correct device status
(which would give the device additional 10 usec to clear BUSY_STAT bit).
* Remove stale comment for ide_config_drive_speed().
* Remove duplicate comment for ide_wait_stat() from <linux/ide.h>.

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many
times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage
devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for
Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm.
It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without
going through userspace.

According to latest memory ordering specification documents from Intel
and AMD, both manufacturers are committed to in-order loads from
cacheable memory for the x86 architecture. Hence, smp_rmb() may be a
simple barrier.
Also according to those documents, and according to existing practice in
Linux (eg. spin_unlock doesn't enforce ordering), stores to cacheable
memory are visible in program order too. Special string stores are safe
-- their constituent stores may be out of order, but they must complete
in order WRT surrounding stores. Nontemporal stores to WB memory can go
out of order, and so they should be fenced explicitly to make them
appear in-order WRT other stores. Hence, smp_wmb() may be a simple
barrier.
http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdf
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24593.pdf
In userspace microbenchmarks on a core2 system, fence instructions range
anywhere from around 15 cycles to 50, which may not be totally
insignificant in performance critical paths (code size will go down
too).
However the primary motivation for this is to have the canonical barrier
implementation for x86 architecture.
smp_rmb on buggy pentium pros remains a locked op, which is apparently
required.

wmb() on x86 must always include a barrier, because stores can go out of
