The cpu setup is now passed the cpu idcode and the table

than pass this to iotable_init().

Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to
have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac.
The problems were:
1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called.
Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which
guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were
called, it would be called in wrong order).
As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing.
If kernel debugging options are not enabled, user may not notice
anything going wrong.
if debugging options are enabled and I do "rmmod i82875p_edac", I
get:
Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered
altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before*
pci_unregister_driver().
2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci
edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The
kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this
mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still
uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free().
The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after
edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning
from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still
available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(),
this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.

recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting
the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank. However this broke the fbcon timeout
blanking.
If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time
that driver relies on other driver (e.g. backlight or lcd class) to blank
the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will
call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver. Thus FB
output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked.
Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the
above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are
already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to
blank the fb again.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

spi: mpc52xx_psc_spi chipselect bugfix
According to the manual the "tdfOnExit" flag must be set on the last byte
we want to send. The PSC controller holds SS low until the flag is set.
However, the flag was set always on the last byte of the FIFO,
independently if it is the last byte of the transfer. This generates
spurious toggling of the SS signals that breaks the protocol of some
peripherals. Fix.
