For tree mount maps, a call to chdir or chroot, to a directory above the
moint point directories at a certain time during the expire results in the
expire incorrectly thinking the tree is not busy.  This patch adds a check
to see if the filesystem above the tree mount points is busy and also locks
the filesystem during the tree mount expire to prevent the race.

This patch optimizes io_submit_one to call aio_run_iocb() directly if
ctx->run_list is empty.  When the list is empty, the operation of adding to
the list, then call to __aio_run_iocbs() is unnecessary because these
operations are done in one atomic step.  ctx->run_list always has only one
element in this case.  This optimization speeds up industry standard db
transaction processing benchmark by 0.2%.

This patch removes superfluous kiocb member initialization in the AIO
allocation and deallocation path.  For example, in really_put_req(),
right before kiocb is returned to slab, 5 variables are reset to NULL.
The same variables will be initialized at the kiocb allocation time,
so why bother reset them knowing that they will be set to valid data
at alloc time?  Another example: ki_retry is initialized in __aio_get_req,
but is initialized again in io_submit_one.

This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is
a valid signal number.

The reasons for adding this new function are:

- some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors.
  Using this function instead avoids such errors.

- some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is
  pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W.  Using this
  function instead avoids such warnings.

I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on
include/linux/signal.h as the most logical place for it.  If there's some
reason this is a bad choice then please let me know (hints as to a better
location are then welcome of course).

Enable interrupts for a BT interface.  There is a specific register that
needs to be set up to enable interrupts that also must be modified to clear
the irq.

Also, don't reset the BMC on a BT interface.  That's probably not a good
idea as the BMC may be performing other important functions and a reset
should only be a last resort.  Also, that register is also used to
enable/disable interrupts to the BT; modifying it may screw up the

There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out

When allocating a new VC with vgacon_init(), the font is shared across all
the VGA consoles.  However, the font mask was always set to the default
value of zero in visual_init(), even if we were using 512 character fonts
at the time.

Moreover, code in vgacon.c:vga_do_font_op() didn't reset the mask if the
console driver thinks it's already in 512 character mode.  This means that
to *fix* it, you'd actually have to take the console out of 512 character
mode and then set it back.

The attached sets vc_hi_font_mask in vgacon_init() for any new consoles
opened if the vgacon driver is already in 512 character mode, solving this.

This bug goes back to 2.4.18 at least, probably earlier.

This is take two of a patch that should have appeared two days ago, before
yesterday's "remote control" patch for the same card.

This patch sets unconnected GPIO to Output to keep them from floating (just
good driver writing practice, being nice to the chip), and uses GPIO16 to
switch TV vs.  FM - this pin switches inputs onto the tuner, as well as the
audio output from the tuner into the 7135 SIF input.  Consequently, FM
radio support is being un-commented because it's now working (sort of, see
below).

These two patches get the card almost fully operational; there appears to
be a bug in tda8290.c remaining that puts an offset onto the tuned
frequency in FM radio mode.  We're investigating.

It's trivial for the resize option to auto-get the underlying device size,
while it's harder for the user.  I've copied the code from jfs.

Since of the different reiserfs option parser (which does not use the
superior match_token used by almost every other filesystem), I've had to
use the "resize=auto" and not "resize" option to specify this behaviour.
Changing the option parser to the kernel one wouldn't be bad but I've no
time to do this cleanup in this moment.

Btw, the mount(8) man page should be updated to include this option.  Cc
the relevant people, please (I hope I cc'ed the right people).

The synchronize_kernel() primitive is used for quite a few different purposes:
waiting for RCU readers, waiting for NMIs, waiting for interrupts, and so on.
This makes RCU code harder to read, since synchronize_kernel() might or might
not have matching rcu_read_lock()s.  This patch creates a new
synchronize_rcu() that is to be used for RCU readers and a new
synchronize_sched() that is used for the rest.  These two new primitives
currently have the same implementation, but this is might well change with
additional real-time support.  Both new primitives are GPL-only, the old
