This makes the iris driver use the platform API, so it is properly exposed
in /sys.

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.

Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
For further information and examples of how to use this, please read
