spi: spi_bfin: change handling of communication parameters
Fix SPI driver to work with SPI flash ST M25P16 on bf548
Currently the SPI driver enables the SPI controller and sets the SPI baud
register for each SPI transfer. But they should never be changed within a SPI
message session, in which several SPI transfers are pumped.
This patch moves SPI setting to the begining of a message session, and
never disables SPI controller until an error occurs.

Currently we are complicating the code in copy_process, the clone ABI, and
if we fix the bugs sys_setsid itself, with an unnecessary open coded
version of sys_setsid.
So just simplify everything and don't special case the session and pgrp of
the initial process in a pid namespace.
Having this special case actually presents to user space the classic linux
startup conditions with session == pgrp == 0 for /sbin/init.
We already handle sending signals to processes in a child pid namespace.
We need to handle sending signals to processes in a parent pid namespace
for cases like SIGCHILD and SIGIO.
This makes nothing extra visible inside a pid namespace. So this extra
special case appears to have no redeeming merits.
Further removing this special case increases the flexibility of how we can
use pid namespaces, by not requiring the initial process in a pid namespace
to be a daemon.

Changed resolution of named references in packages
Fixed a problem with the Package operator where all named

unresolved. According to the ACPI specification, a Package can
only contain Data Objects or references to control methods. The
implication is that named references to Data Objects (Integer,

immediately upon package creation. This is the approach taken
with this change. References to all other named objects (Methods,
Devices, Scopes, etc.) are all now properly created as reference objects.
Commit cfb5285660aad4931b2ebbfa902ea48a37dfffa1 removed a useful feature for
us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be
useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.
The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with
these differences:
- Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
2.6.25 after more discussions.
- Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
classes
- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
counter to be per-cpu
- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
kernel/sched.c)
The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
information.

The Marvell 7042 chip is more or less the same as the 6042 internally,
but sports a PCIe bus. Despite having identical SATA cores, the 7042
does differ from its PCI bus counterparts in placment and layout of
certain bus related registers.
This patch fixes sata_mv to distinguish between the PCI bus registers
of earlier chips, and the PCIe bus registers of the 7042.
Specifically, move the offsets and bit patterns for the
PCI/PCIe interrupt cause/mask registers into the struct mv_host_priv,
as these values differ between the 6xxx and 7xxx series chips.
This fixes the driver to not access reserved PCI addresses,
and prevents the lockups reported in linux-2.6.24 with 7042 boards.
Also add a new PCI ID for the Highpoint 2300 7042-based board
that I'm using for testing this stuff here.
Tested with Marvell 6081 + 7042 chips, on x86 & x86_64.

Thanks. This should fix the real cause, and also allow for port start to
fail politely with -ENODEV.

The VIA veloicty driver needs the following to allow changing MTU when down.
The buffer size needs to be computed when device is brought up, not when
device is initialized. This also fixes a bug where the buffer size was
computed differently on change_mtu versus initial setting.

net: smc911x: only enable for mpr2 on sh.
The smc911x.h is a bit of a mess, not supporting any sort of generic
configuration. For the moment only ARCH_PXA and SH_MAGIC_PANEL_R2 have
suitable definitions, so we reflect this in the Kconfig also.
While there are other SH boards that will likely turn this on in the
2.6.25 time frame, it's not worth trying to stub around at the moment.
Fixes up the allmodconfig build, as noted by akpm.

Using PCIE advanced error recovery stuff creates more user problems than it's worth.
The AER stuff depends on MMCONFIG and in many configurations it just doesn't work.
Plus it doesn't add any real functionality to the driver. The sky2
driver handles its own errors fine as is.
sky2: revert to access PCI config via device space
Using the hardware window into PCI config space is more reliable
and smaller/faster than using the pci_config routines. It avoids issues
with MMCONFIG etc.
