Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
For further information and examples of how to use this, please read

This patch introduces dm_kcopyd_zero() to make it easy to use
kcopyd to write zeros into the requested areas instead
instead of copying. It is implemented by passing a NULL
copying source to dm_kcopyd_copy().
The forthcoming thin provisioning target uses this.

cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle
When a Xen Dom0 kernel boots on a hypervisor, it gets access
to the raw-hardware ACPI tables. While it parses the idle tables
for the hypervisor's beneift, it uses HLT for its own idle.
Rather than have xen scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,
have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and
architecture default HLT will be used.

mrst_pmu: driver for Intel Moorestown Power Management Unit
The Moorestown (MRST) Power Management Unit (PMU) driver
directs the SOC power states in the "Langwell" south complex (SCU).
It hooks pci_platform_pm_ops[] and thus observes all PCI ".set_state"
requests. For devices in the SC, the pmu driver translates those
PCI requests into the appropriate commands for the SCU.
The PMU driver helps implement S0i3, a deep system idle power idle state.
Entry into S0i3 is via cpuidle, just like regular processor c-states.
S0i3 depends on pre-conditions including uni-processor, graphics off,
and certain IO devices in the SC must be off. If those pre-conditions
are met, then the PMU allows cpuidle to enter S0i3, otherwise such requests
are demoted, either to Atom C4 or Atom C6.
This driver is based on prototype work by Bruce Flemming,
Illyas Mansoor, Rajeev D. Muralidhar, Vishwesh M. Rudramuni,
Hari Seshadri and Sujith Thomas. The current driver also
includes contributions from H. Peter Anvin, Arjan van de Ven,
Kristen Accardi, and Yong Wang.
Thanks for additional review feedback from Alan Cox and Randy Dunlap.

In addition line:
