Staging: comedi: fix coding style issues in ni_labpc.c
This is a patch to the ni_labpc.c file that fixes the brace warnings and
comments over 80 characters found by the checkpatch.pl tool. Some code
still goes over 80 characters because I didn't know what to do with it.

This fixes the bug discovered by Marek Lindner which did not allow
turning on the vis-server before an interface has been added. With this
patch we are using a global atomic variable for activating and
deactiating the vis-server-mode, which can be used before
inserting an interface.

The routing code has 2 sections which warn about ttl exceeded. The
corresponding warnings were identical which makes it hard to debug. In
addition, batman-adv does not need to warn about ttl exceeded in case
we encountered an echo request as this is commonly used to generate
traceroute graphs.

Specify Kconfig dependencies, and include warnings for building as a module

udlfb has ifdefs and these dependency warnings to help udlfb build with or

Staging: udlfb: Support for fbdev mmap clients (defio)
Add support for fbdev mmap clients who don't send damage ioctls
Because DisplayLink devices are out on the other end of usb, their
"framebuffer" is just normal system memory. So memory mapped writes
don't automatically trigger anything. So up to this point, standard
fbdev clients who rely on mmap() will get an unchanging screen.
This patch makes udlfb a client of Jaya Kumar's defio framework - which sets
up page fault triggers, and those faults are accumulated and sent to udlfb
on a defferred basis, to process as damage notifications for the framebuffer.
Because this involves more overhead than a notification directly from
the application (e.g. just passing on X DAMAGE extension notifications),
a sysfs attribute is provided by udlfb to control defio support.
/sys/class/graphics/fb*/use_defio - writing a "0" to this file before
calling mmap() causes defio to not be initialized - instead udlfb
will rely on getting damage notifications directly through the damage ioctl.
There are unsolved rendering problems with defio (horizontal dead regions
on framebuffer, that accumulate over time) which still needs a fix.

It turns out that Mimio has a userspace solution for this product using
libusb, and the in-kernel driver is just getting in the way now and
causing problems. So they have asked that the in-kernel driver be
removed. As the staging driver wasn't quite working anyway, and Mimio
supports their libusb solution for all distros, I am removing the
in-kernel driver.
