This fixes the ppp problems and various other issues with call locking
caused by one side of a pty called in one locking context trying to match
another with differing rules on the other side. We also get a big slack
space to work with that means we can bury the flow control deadlock case
for any conceivable real world situation.

Currently we reinit the ldisc on final tty close which is what the old code
did to ensure that if the device retained its termios settings then it had the
right ldisc. tty_ldisc_reinit does that but also leaves us with the reset
ldisc reference which is then leaked.
At this point we know the port will be recycled so we can kill the ldisc
off completely rather than try and add another ldisc free up when the kref
count hits zero.
At this point it is safe to keep the ldisc closed as tty_ldisc waiting
methods are only used from the user side, and as the final close we are
the last such reference. Interrupt/driver side methods will always use the
non wait version and get back a NULL.

Alright, I've reworked this now so that if we get one of these cases
where there's a bsr that's > 4k and < 64k on a 64k kernel we'll only
advertise that it is a 4k BSR to userspace. I think this is the best
solution since user programs are only supposed to look at sysfs to
determine how much can be mapped, and libbsr does this as well.
Please consider for 2.6.31 as a fix, thanks.

Currently the sysrq-c handler is bit over-engineered. Its behavior is
dependent on a few compile time and run time factors that alter its
behavior which is really unnecessecary.
If CONFIG_KEXEC is not configured, sysrq-c, crashes the system with a NULL
pointer dereference. If CONFIG_KEXEC is configured, it calls crash_kexec
directly, which implies that the kexec kernel will either be booted (if
its been previously loaded), or it will simply do nothing (the no kexec
kernel has been loaded).
It would be much easier to just simplify the whole thing to dereference a
NULL pointer all the time regardless of configuration. That way, it will
always try to crash the system, and if a kexec kernel has been loaded into
reserved space, it will still boot from the page fault trap handler
(assuming panic_on_oops is set appropriately).

It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an

piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.
Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long. This
is important as it affects C++ name mangling.

The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which
might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the
console again. Especially during development, disabling the screen saver
can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or
other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at
runtime from userspace.
This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows
users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0.
The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl
call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.

The WARN_ON() that was added to tty_reopen can be triggered in the specific
case of a hangup occurring during a re-open of a tty which is not in the
middle of being otherwise closed.
In that case however the WARN() is bogus as we don't hold the neccessary
locks to make a correct decision.
The case we should be checking is "if the ldisc is not changing and reopen
is occuring". We could drop the WARN_ON but for the moment the debug is more

The patch adds supporting for suspending and resuming IUCV HVC terminal
devices from disk. The obligatory Linux device driver interfaces has
been added by registering a device driver on the IUCV bus.
For each IUCV HVC terminal device the driver creates a respective device
on the IUCV bus.
To support suspend and resume, the PM freeze callback severs any established
IUCV communication path and triggers a HVC tty hang-up when the system image
is restored.
IUCV communication path are no longer valid when the z/VM guest is halted.
The device driver initialization has been updated to register devices and
the a new routine has been extracted to facilitate the hang-up of IUCV HVC
