cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq, dwork) doesn't need the first
parameter.  We don't hang on un-queued dwork any longer, and work->data
doesn't change its type.  This means we can always figure out "wq" from
dwork when it is needed.

Remove this parameter, and rename the function to
cancel_rearming_delayed_work().  Re-create an inline "obsolete"
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq) which just calls
cancel_rearming_delayed_work().

This is an attempt to provide an alternate mechanism for postponing
a hotplug event instead of using a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug.

The proposal is to add two new events namely CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and
CPU_LOCK_RELEASE. The notification for these two events would be sent
out before and after a cpu_hotplug event respectively.

During the CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE event, a cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem is
supposed to acquire any per-subsystem hotcpu mutex ( Eg. workqueue_mutex
in kernel/workqueue.c ).

During the CPU_LOCK_RELEASE release event the cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem
is supposed to release the per-subsystem hotcpu mutex.

The reasons for defining new events as opposed to reusing the existing events
like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_UP_FAILED/CPU_ONLINE for locking/unlocking of
per-subsystem hotcpu mutexes are as follow:

	- CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE: All hotcpu mutexes are taken before subsystems
	start handling pre-hotplug events like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
	etc, thus ensuring a clean handling of these events.

	- CPU_LOCK_RELEASE: The hotcpu mutexes will be released only after
	all subsystems have handled post-hotplug events like CPU_DOWN_FAILED,
	CPU_DEAD,CPU_ONLINE etc thereby ensuring that there are no subsequent
	clashes amongst the interdependent subsystems after a cpu hotplugs.

This patch also uses __raw_notifier_call chain in _cpu_up to take care
of the dependency between the two consequetive calls to
raw_notifier_call_chain.

Since 2.6.18-something, the community has been bugged by the problem to
provide a clean and a stable mechanism to postpone a cpu-hotplug event as
lock_cpu_hotplug was badly broken.

This is another proposal towards solving that problem.  This one is along the
lines of the solution provided in kernel/workqueue.c

Instead of having a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug, we allow the
subsytems to define their own per-subsystem hot cpu mutexes.  These would be
taken(released) where ever we are currently calling
lock_cpu_hotplug(unlock_cpu_hotplug).

Also, in the per-subsystem hotcpu callback function,we take this mutex before
we handle any pre-cpu-hotplug events and release it once we finish handling
the post-cpu-hotplug events.  A standard means for doing this has been
provided in [PATCH 2/4] and demonstrated in [PATCH 3/4].

The ordering of these per-subsystem mutexes might still prove to be a
problem, but hopefully lockdep should help us get out of that muddle.

The patch set to be applied against linux-2.6.19-rc5 is as follows:

[PATCH 1/4] :	Extend notifier_call_chain with an option to specify the
		number of notifications to be sent and also count the
		number of notifications actually sent.

[PATCH 2/4] :	Define events CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE
		and send out notifications for these in _cpu_up and
		_cpu_down. This would help us standardise the acquire and
		release of the subsystem locks in the hotcpu
		callback functions of these subsystems.

[PATCH 3/4] :	Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from kernel/sched.c.

[PATCH 4/4] :	In workqueue_cpu_callback function, acquire(release) the
		workqueue_mutex while handling
		CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE(CPU_LOCK_RELEASE).

If the per-subsystem-locking approach survives the test of time, we can expect
a slow phasing out of lock_cpu_hotplug, which has not yet been eliminated in
these patches :)

This patch:

Provide notifier_call_chain with an option to call only a specified number of
notifiers and also record the number of call to notifiers made.

The need for this enhancement was identified in the post entitled
"Slab - Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from slab"
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/28/92) by Ravikiran G Thirumalai and
Andrew Morton.

This patch adds two additional parameters to notifier_call_chain API namely
 - int nr_to_calls : Number of notifier_functions to be called.
 		     The don't care value is -1.

 - unsigned int *nr_calls : Records the total number of notifier_funtions
			    called by notifier_call_chain. The don't care
			    value is NULL.

A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_
presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to
flush.  If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens
to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur.

One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding
rtnl_lock().  But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will
deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock.

So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one
which the caller wants to free up.  Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks
which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks.

flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill,
then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs.

Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to
currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects
->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist
(and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means
that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another
barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work()
will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run.

When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect
against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will
move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and
wait_on_work() will be woken.

Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before
take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus
the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in
run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

This series converts i386 and x86_64 legacy serial ports to be platform
devices and prevents probing for them if we have PNP.

This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy
probe and by 8250_pnp.

This also prevents the serial driver from claiming IRDA devices (unless they
have a UART PNP ID).  The serial legacy probe sometimes assumed the wrong IRQ,
so the user had to use "setserial" to fix it.

Removing the need for setserial to make IRDA devices work seems good, but it
does break some things.  In particular, you may need to keep setserial from
poking legacy UART stuff back in by doing something like "dpkg-reconfigure
setserial" with the "kernel" option.  Otherwise, the setserial-discovered
"UART" will claim resources and prevent the IRDA driver from loading.

This patch:

If we can discover devices using PNP, we can skip some legacy probes.  This
flag ("pnp_platform_devices") indicates that PNPBIOS or PNPACPI is enabled and
should tell us about builtin devices.

irqpoll is broken on some architectures that don't use the IRQ 0 for the timer
interrupt like IA64.  This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag.

Each architecture is handled in a separate pach.  As I left the irq == 0 as
condition, this should not break existing architectures that use timer_irq ==
0 and that I did't address with that patch (because I don't know).

This patch:

This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag that the interrupt registration code could
use for the interrupt it wants to use for IRQ polling.

Because this must not be the timer interrupt, an additional flag was added
instead of re-using the IRQF_TIMER constant.  Until all architectures will
have an IRQF_IRQPOLL interrupt, irq == 0 will stay as alternative as it should
not break anything.

Also, note_interrupt() is called on CPU-specific interrupts to be used as
interrupt source for IRQ polling.

 - consolidate duplicate code in all arch_prepare_kretprobe instances
   into common code
 - replace various odd helpers that use hlist_for_each_entry to get
   the first elemenet of a list with either a hlist_for_each_entry_save
   or an opencoded access to the first element in the caller
 - inline add_rp_inst into it's only remaining caller
 - use kretprobe_inst_table_head instead of opencoding it
