I wrote earlier to the list[1] asking for a driver for the watchdog
included in the 6300ESB chipset.  I got a 2.4 driver via private email
from Ross Biro which I've changed into what I hope resembles a 2.6
driver (which was done by looking a lot at the watchdog drivers
already in the 2.6 tree).

I've attached the result, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the
coding as a first step.  I can't actually test it on the hardware
right now as I won't have physical access until April. So my own tests
have been limited to "compiles-without-warnings" and
"can-be-insmodded-in-other-machine-without-oops".

[PATCH] md: make sure the new 'sb_size' is set properly device added without pre-existing superblock.

There are two ways to add devices to an md/raid array.

  It can have superblock written to it, and then given to the md driver,
  which will read the superblock (the new way)

or

  md can be told (through SET_ARRAY_INFO) the shape of the array, and
  the told about individual drives, and md will create the required
  superblock (the old way).

The newly introduced sb_size was only set for drives being added the
new way, not the old ways.  Oops :-(

Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have
been flushed.

To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented
each time the raid5 is unplugged.

If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes,
and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write.

When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that
write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq
number.

We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush
and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so
should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the
bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is
enabled for WriteMostly devices.

Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io)
when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be
cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete.

This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being
written.  If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write
semantics.

Fix up fs/compat.c fixes.

This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to
apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being
allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had
been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup.

The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory
descriptor tables, but did not.

It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory
allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory
location.  The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory
gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from.

Based on example code by Linus.
