Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is missing, so the module isn't auto-loading on
supported systems. This commit adds the missing line so it loads
automatically when building it as a module and running on a system
with the early sunxi DMA engine.

Currently, sun4i_dma_free_contract iterates over lists and frees memory
as it goes through them, causing reads to recently freed memory to
be performed. Fix this by using the safe version of the iterator, so
freed memory is not referenced at all.

This patch adds support for the DMA engine present on Allwinner A10,
A13, A10S and A20 SoCs. This engine has two kinds of channels: normal
and dedicated. The main difference is in the mode of operation;
while a single normal channel may be operating at any given time,
dedicated channels may operate simultaneously provided there is no
overlap of source or destination.

Hardware documentation can be found on A10 User Manual (section 12), A13
User Manual (section 14) and A20 User Manual (section 1.12)
