[SCSI] megaraid: fix MMIO casts
megaraid's MMIO RD*/WR* macros directly call readl() and writel() with
an 'unsigned long' argument. This throws a warning, but is otherwise OK
because the 'unsigned long' is really the result of ioremap(). This
setup is also OK because the variable can hold an ioremap cookie /or/ a
PCI I/O port (PIO).
However, to fix the warning thrown when readl() and writel() are passed
an unsigned long cookie, I introduce 'void __iomem *mmio_base', holding
the same value as 'base'. This will silence the warnings, and also
cause an oops whenever these MMIO-only functions are ever accidentally
passed an I/O address.

to try and kill off when we can replace it with support from other
parts of the kernel.
The one field we left on was the offset variable. This is needed to handle
the case where the target gets request that is so large that it cannot
execute it in one dma operation. So max_secotors or a segment limit may
limit the size of the transfer. In this case our tgt core code will
break up the command into managable transfers and send them to the
LLD one at a time. The offset is then used to tell the LLD where in
the command we are at. Is there another field on the scsi_cmd for

Add code to abort outstanding management ioctl fibs when the blinkLED recovery

cases where we would spin forever waiting for the management application to
acknowledge the impending doom surrounding the cause of the BlinkLED. Will
cause an oops in the context of the management application if we proceed too
quickly. I view this as the lesser of many evils since currently if there are
outstanding management ioctls during a need to reset/recover the adapter, the
management application just locks up and waits forever. The best practices fix
for this problem not going to be simple or easy (at least the fixes I imagine
today); and we found a balance between the needs of the driver to proceed, and
the applications that locked or confused that would hold back the driver. I

unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
pointer chain.
This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of
the other stack unwinding code.
Steven Rostedt found the bug: static_obj() check did not take
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM into account, so in-module DEFINE_PER_CPU-area locks
were triggering this message.

[PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fix
The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped
working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU!
The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8.
After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun
was found:
a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
restores it ...
and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
bug too.

this crash happened because it did not sanitize the dwarf2 data it
got, and got an unaligned stack pointer - which happily walked past
the process stack (and eventually reached the end of kernel memory
and pagefaulted there) due to this naive iteration condition:
I moved to a different town and my old snail-mail address is invalid
now. Also, there's no need at all to have any address like that in
the sources, so remove it completely.

Fix generic fb_ddc i2c edid probe msg
Benh points out that the msgs[0].flags entry never got initialized, and
since it's an automatic stack allocation, it could have any random
value, which is bad.
Rewrite the initializer to explicitly initialize all fields of the small
i2c_msg structure array we generate. Just to keep it all obvious, let's
handle msgs[1].buf in the same initializer while we're at it, instead of
initializing that one separately later.
When radeonfb was changed to use the new "generic" ddc, a bit of
code initializing the GPIO lines was lost, causing it to not work
if the firmware didn't configure them properly, which seems to
happen on some cards.
