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

General cleanups to kernel-parameters.txt:
- add missing $ARCH that are being used/referenced
- alphabetize the parameter restrictions list
- spell "IA-64" as listed in arch/ia64/Kconfig instead of "IA64"
- remove trailing whitespace
- use hyphen in 32-bit etc.

hwmon: New driver sch5636
This patch adds a new driver for SMSC SCH5636 Super I/O chips.
The chips include an embedded microcontroller for hardware monitoring
solutions, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create their own
custom hwmon solution based upon the SCH5636.
Currently the sch5636 driver only supports the Fujitsu Theseus SCH5636
based hwmon solution. The sch5636 driver runs a sanity check on
loading to ensure it is dealing with a Fujitsu Theseus and not with
another custom SCH5636 based hwmon solution.

i2c: Allow i2c_add_numbered_adapter() to assign a bus id
Currently, if an i2c bus driver supports both static and dynamic bus
ids, it needs to choose between calling i2c_add_numbered_adapter() and
i2c_add_adapter(). This patch makes i2c_add_numbered_adapter()
redirect to i2c_add_adapter() if the requested bus id is -1.

The problem is that lookup_one_len calls __lookup_hash
with nd pointer as NULL. Then __lookup_hash calls
do_revalidate in the case when dentry exists and we end
up with NULL pointer deference in cifs_d_revalidate:
if (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU)
return -ECHILD;
Fix this by checking nd for NULL.

hwmon: (lm78) Make ISA interface depend on CONFIG_ISA
We should only include support for the ISA interface of the LM78/LM79
if CONFIG_ISA is set. Not only this makes the driver somewhat smaller
on most architectures, but this also avoids poking at random I/O
ports on these architectures.
This is very similiar to what was done for the w83781d driver in
October 2008.
