Gcc may compile sd_major() using a jump table which it will put into
.rodata. If it also inlines sd_major's function body into exit_sd() which
gcc > 3.4.x does. If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD has been set to y we would like ld
to discard exit_sd's code at link time. However sd_major happens to
contain a switch statement which gcc will compile using a jump table in
.rodata on the architectures I checked. So, when ld later discards
.exit.text only the jump table in .rodata with its stale references to
the discard .exit.text will be left which any no antique ld will honor

rtc: rtc-sh: alarm support.
This adds alarm support for the RTC_ALM_SET, RTC_ALM_READ,

The only unusual part is the handling of the alarm interrupt. If you
clear the alarm flag (AF) while the time in the RTC still matches the
time in the alarm registers than AF is immediately re-set, and if the
alarm interrupt (AIE) is still enabled then it re-triggers. I was
originally getting around 20k+ interrupts generated during the second
when the RTC and alarm registers matches.
The solution I've used is to clear AIE when the alarm goes off and
then use the carry interrupt to re-enabled it. The carry interrupt
will check AF and re-enabled AIE if it's clear. If AF is not clear
it'll clear it and then the check will be repeated next carry
interrupt. This a bit in rtc structure that indicates that it's
waiting to have AIE re-enabled so it doesn't turn it on when it
wasn't enabled anyway.

This migrates all packet history operations into the routine

The following minor simplifications are also applied:
* several simplifications now follow from this change - several tests

Justification:
Currently packet history operations span two different routines,
one of which is likely to pass through several iterations of sleeping
and awakening.
The first routine, ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet, allocates an entry and
sets a few fields. The remaining fields are filled in when the second
routine (which is not within a sleeping context), ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent,
is called. This has several strong drawbacks:
* it is not necessary to split history operations - all fields can be
filled in by the second routine
* the first routine is called multiple times, until a packet can be sent,
and sleeps meanwhile - this causes a lot of difficulties with regard to
keeping the list consistent
* since both routines do not have a producer-consumer like synchronization,
it is very difficult to maintain data across calls to these routines
* the fact that the routines are called in different contexts (sleeping, not
sleeping) adds further problems

[DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of p
This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.
Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.
Background:
The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

[DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending rates
This patch
* resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0
* supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second
* simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations
Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated
sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to
* cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second)
* allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3
* avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off
The patch implements a revised strategy from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html
The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already
used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

[DCCP] ccid3: Fix two bugs in sending rate computation
This fixes
1) a bug in the recomputation of the sending rate by the nofeedback
timer when no feedback at all has so far been sent by the receiver:
min_t was used instead of max_t, which is wrong (cf. RFC 3448, p. 10);
2) an error in the computation of larger initial windows: instead of
min(... max()) (cf. RFC 4342, 5.), the code had used max(... max()).

[DCCP] ccid3: Two optimisations for sending rate recomputation
This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate.
1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever
a) the nofeedback timer expires, or
b) a feedback packet is received.
In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since
* the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the
reception of feedback packets;
* the parameter X_recv is either modified from received
feedback or via the nofeedback timer;
* a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using
a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0.
2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0.
This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids
unnecessarily determining a timestamp.
A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very
little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again
As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)
That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").
This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string.
To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

The AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9260 processors support two MMC/SD slots - the
slot which is connected is now passed via the platform_data and the
correct slot selected in the AT91_MCI_SDCR register.
The driver should not be calling at91_set_gpio_output() since the VCC

processor/board setup code. The driver should call
at91_set_gpio_value().
