Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint(). We might fail
to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint
lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk. The patch was
confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users.
When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list.
Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix result code handling in prom_init
prom_init(), the trampoline code that "talks" to Open Firmware during

[IA64] fix compilation warning in sys32_epoll_wait()
This gets rid of an unused variable `error' in sys_ia32.c:sys32_epoll_wait()
Getting rid of this one makes parsing the output of the kernecomp
autobuild easier --- searching for `Error' to find a problem kept
hitting this one, even though it's only a warning.
This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things:
- Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now
simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
/proc with random result...
- Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
buggy and didn't always work anyway.
- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes
where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up
appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and
confuses /proc/device-tree badly.
This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when
reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not
modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0
tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem.
An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly

Various fixes to the sl811-hcd driver:
* Fix small glitches that crept in during recent evolution of usbcore's hcd
glue layer, coupling endpoint state records to usbcore and active urbs.
(As noted by folk whose boards weren't stuck on 2.6.9 kernels...)
* Cope with various system-specific issues:
- Some configurations (e.g. a CF-card uses this chip) have iospace
addresses for the two registers, rather than memory mapped ones.
- Some configurations do interesting things with IRQs; maybe the
line is shared, or it doesn't support level triggering.
- Not all boards can drive the chip reset line in software.
* Address a potential race during unlinking.
* Tweak probe/remove section info to handle the case where this segment
of a platform bus is hotpluggable (e.g. CF card). (The basic problem
is that CONFIG_HOTPLUG is global, which is wrong since not all busses
can hotplug even on hotplug-friendly systems...) Also export the
driver, so that the CF driver can depend on it.
Also removed some annoying end-of-line whitespace.
