virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementations

virtio net: Allow receiving SG packets
Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
case. For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)
Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
queued buffer and fail to transmit it.
However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
is a chance space might become available for it.

ide: ide-tape.c sparse annotations and unaligned access removal
If this is actually unaligned the access of speed/max_speed above
is already broken and needs a get_unaligned. Otherwise it is
aligned and they can be removed.
ide: prefix messages from IDE PCI host drivers by driver name
Prefix messages from IDE PCI host drivers by driver name instead of marketed
chipset name (it is still possible to exactly identify the particular chipset
basing on driver messages).
As a bonus this provides nice code savings for some drivers:
* Now that ide_hwif_t instances are allocated dynamically
the difference between MAX_HWIFS == 2 and MAX_HWIFS == 10
is ~100 bytes (x86-32) so use MAX_HWIFS == 10 on all archs
except these ones that use MAX_HWIFS == 1.
* Define MAX_HWIFS in <linux/ide.h> instead of <asm/ide.h>.
[ Please note that avr32/cris/v850 have no <asm/ide.h>
and alpha/ia64/sh always define CONFIG_IDE_MAX_HWIFS. ]
Move ide_probe_legacy() call to ide_generic_init() so it fails
early if necessary and returns the proper error value (nowadays
ide_default_io_base() is used only by ide-generic).

.text to avoid .data.percpu") added a ".text" specifier to make sure
that BUILD_IRQ() builds the irq trampoline in the text segment rather
than in some random left-over segment that the compiler happened to
leave the asm in.
However, we should also make sure that we switch back by adding a
".previous" at the end, so that there are no subtle issues with
subsequent compiler-generated code.
