Linux supports some optional features, but it should notify the BIOS about
them via the _OSI method. Currently Linux doesn't notify any, which might
make such features not work because the BIOS doesn't know about them.
Jarosz has a system which needs this to make ACPI processor aggregator
device work.

THERMAL_HWMON is implemented inside the thermal_sys driver and has no
effect on drivers implementing thermal zones, so they shouldn't see
anything related to it in <linux/thermal.h>. Making the THERMAL_HWMON
implementation fully internal has two advantages beyond the cleaner
design:
* This avoids rebuilding all thermal drivers if the THERMAL_HWMON
implementation changes, or if CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON gets enabled or
disabled.
* This avoids breaking the thermal kABI in these cases too, which should
make distributions happy.
The only drawback I can see is slightly higher memory fragmentation, as
the number of kzalloc() calls will increase by one per thermal zone. But
I doubt it will be a problem in practice, as I've never seen a system with
more than two thermal zones.

It's about time to revert 16d752397301b9 ("thermal: Create
CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n"). Anybody running a kernel >= 2.6.40 would also
be running a recent enough version of lm-sensors.
Actually having CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON is pretty convenient so instead of
dropping it, we keep it but hide it.

The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it to a
sign-extended u64 type. Change the type to unsigned long so we get the
correct result.

My load tests on PowerPC freeze within minutes in __slab_free(). I
happened to try PPC first, didn't try without this fix on x86.
It looks as if the author was interrupted while devising the new
cmpxchg_double_slab() version of __slab_free(): its decision to
spin_lock_irqsave() depends on several uninitialized fields, and fixing
that (by copying page to new) mostly fixes it.
But I didn't think about it very much, and this may well not be what the
author intends; and I have seen a couple of much rarer freezes in
__slab_free() on PPC (not yet on x86) even after applying this.
