USB: usbfs: keep async URBs until the device file is closed
The usbfs driver manages a list of completed asynchronous URBs. But
it is too eager to free the entries on this list: destroy_async() gets
called whenever an interface is unbound or a device is removed, and it
deallocates the outstanding struct async entries for all URBs on that
interface or device. This is wrong; the user program should be able
to reap an URB any time after it has completed, regardless of whether
or not the interface is still bound or the device is still present.
This patch (as1222) moves the code for deallocating the completed list
entries from destroy_async() to usbdev_release(). The outstanding
entries won't be freed until the user program has closed the device
file, thereby eliminating any possibility that the remaining URBs
might still be reaped.
This fixes a bug in which a program can hang in the USBDEVFS_REAPURB
ioctl when the device is unplugged.

Avoid 64-bit "switch()" statements on 32-bit architectures
Commit ee6f779b9e0851e2f7da292a9f58e0095edf615a ("filp->f_pos not
correctly updated in proc_task_readdir") changed the proc code to use
filp->f_pos directly, rather than through a temporary variable. In the
process, that caused the operations to be done on the full 64 bits, even
though the offset is never that big.
That's all fine and dandy per se, but for some unfathomable reason gcc
generates absolutely horrid code when using 64-bit values in switch()
statements. To the point of actually calling out to gcc helper
functions like __cmpdi2 rather than just doing the trivial comparisons
directly the way gcc does for normal compares. At which point we get
link failures, because we really don't want to support that kind of
crazy code.
Fix this by just casting the f_pos value to "unsigned long", which
is plenty big enough for /proc, and avoids the gcc code generation issue.

Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error bounds
In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of
the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another
way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize
properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.
The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).
However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.
So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.
In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

Fix potential fast PIT TSC calibration startup glitch
During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)
to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC
calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow
the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.
That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after
programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the
counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

For the NOMMU-based mmap, set_page_dirty() may be called by write(), but
it won't be called by page-writing faults on writable mmaps, and it isn't
called by ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() when a file is being truncated
from nothing to allocate a contiguous run.
The solution is to mark the pages dirty at the point of allocation by the
truncation code.

Remove flash size check which made sense only for ancient
boards with 1MB flash. The check is based on values read
from specific locations and fails with firmware size changes.
This prevents driver from getting right mac addresses.

mv643xx_eth: fix unicast address filter corruption on mtu change
When mv643xx_eth_open() is called to up an interface, port_start()
will first re-program the unicast address filter, and then
re-initialise the PORT_CONFIG register, but that will disable unicast
promiscuous mode if it was enabled by the unicast address filter setup.
This isn't a problem on ifconfig up, as ->set_rx_mode() will be called
shortly afterwards which will program the filters again, but it does
trigger when changing the MTU, which calls mv643xx_eth_stop() and then
mv643xx_eth_open() by hand to repopulate the receive rings with skbuffs
of the new size.
Swap the initialisation of the PORT_START register and the call to
the unicast filter setup function to fix this.

ixgbe: fix multiple unicast address support
Multiple unicast address support appears to have been broken with the
change to support net_device_ops. This a regression from 2.6.28 to 2.6.29.
I'm not 100% on whether ndo_set_multicast_list can be NULL after this
or not. If ndo_set_rx_mode is set everything _should_ be using it.

ata_piix: add workaround for Samsung DB-P70
Samsung DB-P70 somehow botched the first ICH9 SATA port. The board
doesn't expose the first port but somehow SStatus reports link online
while failing SRST protocol leading to repeated probe failures and
thus long boot delay.
Because the BIOS doesn't carry any identifying DMI information, the
port can't be blacklisted safely. Fortunately, the controller does
have subsystem vendor and ID set. It's unclear whether the subsystem
IDs are used only for the board but it can be safely worked around by
disabling SIDPR access and just using SRST works around the problem.
Even when the workaround is triggered on an unaffected board the only
side effect will be missing SCR access.

libata: Keep shadow last_ctl up to date during resets
libata keeps a shadow copy of the ATA CTL register (which is write only),
and only writes to the hardware when the required value doesn't match
the shadow. However this copy wasn't being maintained when performing
reset functions. This could cause problems for the first operation after
a reset when the correct value might not be written to the CTL register.
This problem was observed when hotplugging a drive: the identify command
was being issued with interrupts enabled, when they should have been
disabled.

parisc: fix wrong assumption about bus->self
Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@jp.fujitsu.com> posted a patch series
to linux-pci to fix a wrong assumption about pci_bus->self==NULL for
all PCI host bus controllers. While PARISC platforms to not behave
this way, I prefer to have the code consistent across architectures.
The following patch replaces pci_bus->self with pci_bus->parent when
used as a test to check for "root bus controller".
