The five-second delay can be rather annoying, and makes the system
appear much less responsive when you connect a USB drive.

It's also not entirely clear that it is needed - the settling delay has
at least historically been an issue on some Apple iPods, for example,
and some devices have been reported to need even more than the old 5s
delay.

But before we penalize them all, let's see how bad it really is.  Some
of the reasons for long delays seem to be actual historical kernel bugs
that should probably never have been papered over with a delay in the
first place (there's a Ubuntu bug report for 2.6.20 about a NULL pointer
dereference unless 'delay_use' is 8 or more, for example).

It also looks like some distros have already shipped with delay_use=0,
so the five second default may well be totally historical.

In other words: "Let's see if anybody screams".

This fixes corrupted CIPSO packets when SELinux categories greater than 127

index as the NetLabel catmap->bitmap array, even though the NetLabel bitmap
is twice as long as the SELinux bitmap.

  ahci: disable FPDMA auto-activate optimization on NVIDIA AHCI

Mike Cui reported that his system with an NVIDIA MCP79 (aka MCP7A)
chipset stopped working with 2.6.32. The problem appears to be that
2.6.32 now enables the FPDMA auto-activate optimization in the ahci
driver. The drive works fine with this enabled on an Intel AHCI so
this appears to be a chipset bug.  Since MCP79 is a fairly recent
NVIDIA chipset and we don't have any info on whether any other NVIDIA
chipsets have this issue, disable FPDMA AA optimization on all NVIDIA
AHCI controllers for now.

This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this
feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for
that device. New ports are spawned according to this information.

The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be
spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the
appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be
hot-plugged in later.

Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to
hvc consoles.

We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via
which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether
the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window,
etc.

Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char
devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.
