Add a new SCHED_BATCH (3) scheduling policy: such tasks are presumed
CPU-intensive, and will acquire a constant +5 priority level penalty. Such
policy is nice for workloads that are non-interactive, but which do not
want to give up their nice levels. The policy is also useful for workloads
that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing
extra preemptions (between that workload's tasks).

Problem report (against 2.4.x driver) from Jeff Layton
<jlayton@redhat.com>:
An OEM noticed that the U6 qla2200 driver would hang for
around 2 minutes at boot time and then proceed normally. I
found that the delay was occurring when loading the new
firmware into the card, and was due to a
schedule_timeout(10) added to the bottom of the polling
loop.
Some testing showed that the load ram operation on the card
was very quick (on the order of a couple of jiffies), but
the sleep in the polling loop was making each operation take
around 25-30.
The attached patch corrects this by making it skip sleeping
during the load ram operation, since I believe we only do
that when the module is plugged in. It also skips sleeping
if the mbox_int flag got set during the current loop.
This corrected the hang on my test setup, and OEM also
confirmed that it corrected the problem for them.

When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.
So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.

[ARM] 3105/4: ARM EABI: new syscall entry convention
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
For a while we wanted to change the way syscalls were called on ARM.
Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which
requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number
and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the
syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents
an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support
is the right thing to do.
It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number
into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument
are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments
should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number.
Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length):
legacy ABI:
- put fd into r0
- put length into r1-r2
- use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel
new ARM EABI:
- put fd into r0
- put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1)
- put 194 into r7
- use "swi 0" to call the kernel
Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward
compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this.
The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support
both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

Although ARM is still using 32-bit pointers, version 5 and later
versions of the ARM architecture introduced the ldrd and strd
instructions to move 64-bit data which must be 64-bit aligned in memory,
and the EABI includes new constraints on structure data alignment to
allow for the compiler to use those instructions. This means that any
slab allocation must start on a 64-bit boundary which is not equivalent
to BYTES_PER_WORD, especially on those architecture versions that
