fb: hide hardware cursor in graphics mode (Mach64)
A hardware cursor is left enabled in the fb_set_par() which is called when a
new console is created. This is inconsistent with software cursor's
behaviour.
Also, this makes a hardware cursor always visible in the Xfbdev (Xorg kdrive)
server.

fbdev: remove cyblafb driver
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without
the bugs of the latter.
Changes to the tridentfb driver:
- FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter
for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade
chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the
blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D
cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the
cyblafb.
- a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the
first author of the tridentfb).

The s1d13xxx chip provides two values of identification value: the
Production id (e.g 13506/13505/13806..) and a revision number 0,1,2,3).
Together these can help us to differentiate between similiar setups.
This patch adds the proper way of grabbing both those values and save them
for future reference (in order to decide what functions a card supports,
e.g acceleration).
We also move away from the concept of all s1d13xxx = s1d13806 when we
really support alot more.

autofs4: fix lookup deadlock
A deadlock can occur when user space uses a signal (autofs version 4 uses
SIGCHLD for this) to effect expire completion.
The order of events is:
Expire process completes, but before being able to send SIGCHLD to it's parent
...
Another process walks onto a different mount point and drops the directory
inode semaphore prior to sending the request to the daemon as it must ...
A third process does an lstat on on the expired mount point causing it to wait
on expire completion (unfortunately) holding the directory semaphore.
The mount request then arrives at the daemon which does an lstat and,
deadlock.
For some time I was concerned about releasing the directory semaphore around
the expire wait in autofs4_lookup as well as for the mount call back. I
finally realized that the last round of changes in this function made the
expiring dentry and the lookup dentry separate and distinct so the check and
possible wait can be done anywhere prior to the mount call back. This patch
moves the check to just before the mount call back and inside the directory
inode mutex release.

epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and __wake_up_sync_key()
This patchset introduces wakeup hints for some of the most popular (from
epoll POV) devices, so that epoll code can avoid spurious wakeups on its
waiters.
The problem with epoll is that the callback-based wakeups do not, ATM,
carry any information about the events the wakeup is related to. So the
only choice epoll has (not being able to call f_op->poll() from inside the
callback), is to add the file* to a ready-list and resolve the real events
later on, at epoll_wait() (or its own f_op->poll()) time. This can cause
spurious wakeups, since the wake_up() itself might be for an event the
caller is not interested into.
The rate of these spurious wakeup can be pretty high in case of many
network sockets being monitored.
By allowing devices to report the events the wakeups refer to (at least
the two major classes - POLLIN/POLLOUT), we are able to spare useless
wakeups by proper handling inside the epoll's poll callback.
Epoll will have in any case to call f_op->poll() on the file* later on,
since the change to be done in order to have the full event set sent via
wakeup, is too invasive for the way our f_op->poll() system works (the
full event set is calculated inside the poll function - there are too many
of them to even start thinking the change - also poll/select would need
change too).
Epoll is changed in a way that both devices which send event hints, and
the ones that don't, are correctly handled. The former will gain some
efficiency though.
As a general rule for devices, would be to add an event mask by using
key-aware wakeup macros, when making up poll wait queues. I tested it
(together with the epoll's poll fix patch Andrew has in -mm) and wakeups
for the supported devices are correctly filtered.
Test program available here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/epoll_test.c
This patch:
Nothing revolutionary here. Just using the available "key" that our
wakeup core already support. The __wake_up_locked_key() was no brainer,
since both __wake_up_locked() and __wake_up_locked_key() are thin wrappers
around __wake_up_common().
The __wake_up_sync() function had a body, so the choice was between
borrowing the body for __wake_up_sync_key() and calling it from
__wake_up_sync(), or make an inline and calling it from both. I chose the
former since in most archs it all resolves to "mov $0, REG; jmp ADDR".

eventfd: improve support for semaphore-like behavior
People started using eventfd in a semaphore-like way where before they
were using pipes.
That is, counter-based resource access. Where a "wait()" returns
immediately by decrementing the counter by one, if counter is greater than
zero. Otherwise will wait. And where a "post(count)" will add count to
the counter releasing the appropriate amount of waiters. If eventfd the
"post" (write) part is fine, while the "wait" (read) does not dequeue 1,
but the whole counter value.
The problem with eventfd is that a read() on the fd returns and wipes the
whole counter, making the use of it as semaphore a little bit more
cumbersome. You can do a read() followed by a write() of COUNTER-1, but
IMO it's pretty easy and cheap to make this work w/out extra steps. This
patch introduces a new eventfd flag that tells eventfd to only dequeue 1
from the counter, allowing simple read/write to make it behave like a
semaphore. Simple test here:
