As per Andrew Mortons request, here's a set of documentation for
the generic pipe_buf_operations hooks, the pipe, and pipe_buffer
structures.

The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer
in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the
name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh
Dickins a bit.
A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really
there, and that the contents are good.

There are now zero users of .sendfile() in the kernel, so kill

This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for
xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not
using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform
this could potentially be used on so far.
Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file
systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based
on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it.
At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge
splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to
code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory
segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based
embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.

We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use
the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of
pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header
file finally.

A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But
this makes the interface nice and symmetric and enables people to build
on splice, with room for future improvement in performance.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.
So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put
the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top
of that.
This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also
for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.

Adds support for PowerQuicc on-chip PCMCIA. The driver is implemented as
of_device, so only arch/powerpc stuff is capable to use it, which now implies
only mpc885ads reference board.
To cope with the code that should be hooked inside driver, but is really board
specific (like set_voltage), global structure mpc8xx_pcmcia_ops holds
necessary function pointers that are filled in the BSP code.

This patch allows users to override both host and device side cable detection
with "ideX=ata66" kernel parameter. Thanks to this it should be now possible
to use UDMA > 2 modes on systems (laptops mainly) which use short 40-pin cable
instead of 80-pin one.
Next patches add automatic detection of some systems using short cables.
Changes:
* Rename hwif->udma_four to hwif->cbl and make it u8.
* Convert all existing users accordingly (use ATA_CBL_* defines while at it).
* Add ATA_CBL_PATA40_SHORT support to ide-iops.c:eighty_ninty_three().
* Use ATA_CBL_PATA40_SHORT for "ideX=ata66" kernel parameter.

While at it, drop 'ide_' from the method's name, drop the '__' prefix from
the default method's name, and do some cleanups in this method driver-wise:
- in ide-dma.c, au1xxx-ide.c, and pdc202xx_old.c, define/use 'hwif' variable;
- in au1xxx-ide.c, get rid of commented out printk();
- in sl82c105.c, get rid of unnecessary variables.

the Linux scheduler is starving a number of workloads. So default
to more agressive idle-balancing. This hurts lmbench context-switching
numbers (which was the main reason we sucked at idle-balancing for
such a long time) but the lmbench numbers are fine once the system is
minimally utilized.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
