I wrote a patch to avoid redundant memory hot-add call at boot time.  This
was cause of strange fail message of memory hotplug like "ACPI: add_memory
failed".  Memory is recognized by early boot code with EFI/E820.

But, if DSDT describes memory devices for them, then hot-add code is called
for already recognized memory, and it shows fail messages with -EEXIST.
So, sys admin will misunderstand this message as something wrong by it.

This patch avoids them by preventing redundant hot-add call until
completion of driver initialization.

I suppose this message seems quite useless except debugging.  It just shows
"Hotplug Mem Device".  System admin can't know anything by this message.
So, I would like to change it to KERN_DEBUG.

This patch breaks C-state discovery on my IBM IntelliStation Z30 because
the return value of acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt is not assigned to
"result" in the case that acpi_processor_get_power_info_cst returns
-ENODEV.  Thus, if ACPI provides C-state data via the FADT and not _CST (as
is the case on this machine), we incorrectly exit the function with -ENODEV
after reading the FADT.  The attached patch sets the value of result so
that we don't exit early.

Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

Avoid memory copy on writes.
(This patch depends on fixes in patch 9 to follow.)

Although skb->len should not be set when working with linear skbuffs,
the skb->tail pointer maintained by skb_put/skb_trim is not relevant
to what happens when the skb_fill_page_desc function is called.  This
issue was raised without comment in linux-kernel and netdev earlier
this month:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/446474/
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/45444/

So until there is something analogous to skb_put that works for
zero-copy write skbuffs, we will do what the other callers of
skb_fill_page_desc are doing.

This patch (as797) fixes device_add() in the driver core.  It needs to

bus_add_device() and bus_attach_device(), it needs to check whether
the bus_attach_device step failed.
