Ingo Oeser pointed out that because current expands to an inline function
it is more space efficient and somewhat faster to simply keep a cached copy
of current in another variable.  This patch implements that for the
de_thread function.

In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic.  This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.

Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted.  The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being
in cache.

Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.

The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):

 eisa:sTCM5093

and the in-module alias like:

 eisa:sTCM5093*

The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.

There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.

The rationale for this patch is:

 a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
    support, to unify driver loading

 b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
    (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
    how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)

Add sysfs support.  Currently each CPU has three microcode related
attributes.  One is 'version' which shows current ucode version of CPU.
Tools can use the attribute do validation or show CPU ucode status.  one is
'reload' which allows manually reloading ucode.  Another is
'processor_flags', which exports processor flags, so we can write tools to
check if CPU has latest ucode.  Also add suspend/resume and CPU hotplug
support.

Using request_firmware to pull ucode from userspace, so we don't need the
application 'microcode_ctl' to assist.  We name each ucode file according
to CPU's info as intel-ucode/family-model-stepping.  In this way we could
split ucode file as small one.  This has a lot of advantages such as
selectively update and validate microcode for specific models, better
manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and so on.
with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files
into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into
small one and later we will release new style data file).  The init script
should be changed to just loading the driver without unloading

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory.  In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).

While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible.  But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.

I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.

So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

fork on UML has always somewhat subtle.  The underlying cause has been the
need to initialize a stack for the new process.  The only portable way to
initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a
signal.  The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps
back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished.  The basic
context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process.  You switch to a
new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf.

Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke
around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a
much simpler mechanism is possible.  The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by
hand.

This eliminates -
	the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack
	sending and handling a signal
	the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since
there is no stack switching
	setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original
stack after the new one is set up

In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be
embedded in the thread struct.  This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on
the stack, where it used to be.  It also simplifies interfaces, since the
switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions
which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it
from the void *.

However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with

Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking.  Also verified that the network
