We used to maintain 2 singlethreaded workqueues for synchronization and to trigger work from interrupt context. Since our latest cio changes we only use one of these workqueues. So get rid of the unused workqueue, rename the remaining one to "cio_work_q" and move its ownership to the channel subsystem driver.

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".

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.

To fix a bug and address the reviewers' comments regarding the ACPI GPE refcounting patch, do the following additional changes: o Remove the second argument of acpi_ev_enable_gpe(), 'write_to_hardware', because it is not necessary any more. o Add the "bad parameter" test against 'type' in acpi_enable_gpe() and acpi_disable_gpe(). o Make acpi_enable_gpe() only check 'status' for runtime GPEs if acpi_ev_enable_gpe() was actually called. o Make acpi_disable_gpe() return 'status' returned by acpi_ev_disable_gpe() and fix a bug where ACPI_GPE_TYPE_WAKE and ACPI_GPE_TYPE_RUNTIME were exchanged by mistake. o Add comments explaining why acpi_set_gpe() is used by the ACPI EC driver.

With MULTIPORT support, the control queue is an integral part of the functioning of the device.

Allow guest userspace applications to open, read from, write to, poll the ports via the char dev interface.

The char device will be used as an interface by applications on the guest to communicate with apps on the host. The devices created are placed in /dev/vportNpn where N is the virtio-console device number and n is the port number for that device.

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.
