Input: add Wistron driver
A driver for laptop buttons using an x86 BIOS interface that is
apparently used on quite a few laptops and seems to be originating
from Wistron.
This driver currently "knows" only about Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V2000
(i.e. it can detect the laptop using DMI and it contains the
keycode->key meaning mapping for this laptop) and Xeron SonicPro X 155G
(probably can't be reliably autodetected, requires a module parameter),
adding other laptops should be easy.
In addition to reporting button presses to the input layer the driver
also allows enabling/disabling the embedded wireless NIC (using the
"Wifi" button); this is done using the same BIOS interface, so it seems
only logical to keep the implementation together. Any flexibility
possibly gained by allowing users to remap the function of the "Wifi"
button is IMHO not worth it when weighted against the necessity to run
an user-space daemon to convert button presses to wifi state changes.

powerpc: Fix bug in timebase synchronization on 32-bit SMP powermac
We were using udelay in the loop on the primary cpu waiting for the

udelay uses the timebase, and the timebase is stopped at this point,
the udelay never terminated. This fixes it by not using udelay, and
increases the number of loops before we time out to compensate.
[ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery and masking
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz
After delivering a signal (creating its stack frame) we must check for
additional pending unblocked signals before returning to userspace.
Otherwise signals may be delayed past the next syscall or reschedule.
Once that was fixed it became obvious that the ARM signal mask manipulation
was broken. It was a little bit broken before the recent SA_NODEFER
changes, and then very broken after them. We must block the requested
signals before starting the handler or the same signal can be delivered
again before the handler even gets a chance to run.
