USB: EHCI support for big-endian descriptors
This patch implements supports for EHCI controllers whose in-memory
data structures are represented in big-endian format. This is needed
(unfortunately) for the AMCC PPC440EPx SoC EHCI controller; the EHCI
spec doesn't specify little-endian format, although that's what most
other implementations use.
The guts of the patch are to introduce the hc32 type and change all
references from le32 to hc32. All access routines are converted from
cpu_to_le32(...) to cpu_to_hc32(ehci, ...) and similar for the other
"direction". (This is the same approach used with OHCI.)
David fixed:
Whitespace fixes; refresh against ehci cpufreq patch; move glue
for that PPC driver to the patch adding it; fix free symbol
capture bugs in modified "constant" macros; and make "hc32" etc
be "le32" unless we really need the BE options, so "sparse" can
do some real good.

EHCI controllers that don't cache enough microframes can get MMF errors
when CPU frequency changes occur between the start and completion of
split interrupt transactions, due to delays in reading main memory
(caused by CPU cache snoop delays).
This patch adds a cpufreq notifier to the EHCI driver that will
inactivate split interrupt transactions during frequency transitions.
It was tested on Intel ICH7 and Serverworks/Broadcom HT1000 EHCI
controllers.

dm raid1: handle log failure
When writing to a mirror, the log must be updated first. Failure
to update the log could result in the log not properly reflecting
the state of the mirror if the machine should crash.
We change the return type of the rh_flush function to give us
the ability to check if a log write was successful. If the
log write was unsuccessful, we fail the writes to avoid the
case where the log does not properly reflect the state of the
mirror.
A follow-up patch - which is dependent on the ability to
requeue I/O's to core device-mapper - will requeue the I/O's
for retry (allowing the mirror to be reconfigured.)

dm raid1: handle resync failures
Device-mapper mirroring currently takes a best effort approach to
recovery - failures during mirror synchronization are completely ignored.
This means that regions are marked 'in-sync' and 'clean' and removed
from the hash list. Future reads and writes that query the region
will incorrectly interpret the region as in-sync.
This patch handles failures during the recovery process. If a failure
occurs, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync' (aka RH_NOSYNC) and added
to a new list 'failed_recovered_regions'.
Regions on the 'failed_recovered_regions' list are not marked as 'clean'
upon removal from the list. Furthermore, if the DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS
flag is set, the region is marked as 'not-in-sync'. This action prevents
any future read-balancing from choosing an invalid device because of the
'not-in-sync' status.
If "handle_errors" is not specified when creating a mirror (leaving the
DM_RAID1_HANDLE_ERRORS flag unset), failures will be ignored exactly as they
would be without this patch. This is to preserve backwards compatibility with
user-space tools, such as 'pvmove'. However, since future read-balancing
policies will rely on the correct sync status of a region, a user must choose
"handle_errors" when using read-balancing.

dm raid1: clear region outside spinlock
A clear_region function is permitted to block (in practice, rare) but gets
called in rh_update_states() with a spinlock held.
The bits being marked and cleared by the above functions are used
to update the on-disk log, but are never read directly. We can
perform these operations outside the spinlock since the
bits are only changed within one thread viz.
- mark_region in rh_inc()
- clear_region in rh_update_states().
So, we grab the clean_regions list items via list_splice() within the
spinlock and defer clear_region() until we iterate over the list for
deletion - similar to how the recovered_regions list is already handled.
We then move the flush() call down to ensure it encapsulates the changes
which are done by the later calls to clear_region().

hd.c: remove BIOS/CMOS queries
An ST-506 disk these days is pretty much someone trying to pull ancient
data using an auxilliary controller. Pulling data from the BIOS or CMOS
is just plain wrong, since it's likely to be the primary OS disk... and
would be user-entered data anyway. Instead, require the user enters it
on the command line.

While the PC speaker is wired up to the i8254 there is more to the i8254
than just the PC speaker so this code was getting in the way under its
current name.
The only pseudo-legitimate MIPS user of genrtc was a systems that doesn't
have an RTC in hardware at all. At this point faking one is a little
pointless ...

[MIPS] SMTC: Interrupt mask backstop hack
To support multiple TC microthreads acting as "CPUs" within a VPE,
VPE-wide interrupt mask bits must be specially manipulated during
interrupt handling. To support legacy drivers and interrupt controller
management code, SMTC has a "backstop" to track and if necessary restore
the interrupt mask. This has some performance impact on interrupt service
overhead. Disable it only if you know what you are doing.

[ARM] 4474/1: Do not check the PSR_F_BIT in valid_user_regs
When running Linux in non-secure mode (on ARM1176 for example),
depending on the CP15 secure configuration register, the CPSR.F bit
(6) might only be modified from the secure mode. However, the
valid_user_regs() function checks for this bit being cleared. With
commit a6c61e9d, a SIGSEGV is forced in handle_signal() if the user
registers are not considered valid.
The patch also ensures that the CPSR.A bit is cleared and the USR mode
is set if the CPU does not support the 26bit user mode.

[ARM] pxa: remove boot time RTC initialisation
The RTC library code contains everything necessary to set the
system time from the RTC; for similar reasons as the previous
commit, it's far better to let the RTC library code sort this
out rather than implement something which might not be
appropriate for everyone.

[ARM] pxa: stop doing our own rtc management over suspend
Remove the RTC management over a suspend/resume cycle. Firstly,
we may not be using the internal RTC for time keeping; some
platforms have an external RTC for this inspite of the PXA having
an internal RTC. Secondly, the RTC library code handles updating
system time on resume.
