netmos serial/parallel adapters come in different flavour differing only
by the number of parallel and serial ports, which are encoded in the
subdevice ID.
Last fix of Christian Pellegrin for 9855 2P2S broke support for 9855 1P4S,
and works only by side-effect for the first parallel port of a 2P2S, as
this first parallel port is found by reading the second addr entry of
(struct parport_pc_pci) cards[netmos_9855], which is not initialized, and
hence has value 0, which happens to be the BAR of the first parallel port.
netmos_9xx5_combo entry in (struct parport_pc_pci) cards[], which is used
for a 9845 1P4S must also be fixed for the parallel port support when
there are 4 serial ports because this entry currently gives 2 as BAR index
for the parallel port. Actually, in this case, BAR 2 is the 3rd serial
port while the parallel port is at BAR 4.
I fixed 9845 1P4S and 9855 1P4S support, while preserving 9855 2P2S support,
- by creating a netmos_9855_2p entry and using it for 9855 boards with 2
parallel ports : 9855 2P2S and 9855 2P0S boards,
- and by allowing netmos_parallel_init to change not only the number of
parallel ports (0 or 1), but making it also change the BAR index of the
parallel port when the serial ports are before the parallel port.
PS: the netmos_9855_2p entry in (struct pciserial_board)
pci_parport_serial_boards[] is needed because netmos_parallel_init has no
clean way to replace FL_BASE2 by FL_BASE4 in the description of the serial
ports in function of the number of parallel ports on the card.
Tested with 9845 1P4S, 9855 1P4S and 9855 2P2S boards.

This adds support for an EDAC memory controller adaptation driver for the
"ibm,sdram-4xx-ddr2" ECC controller realized in the AMCC PowerPC 405EX[r].
At present, this driver has been developed and tested against the
controller realization in the AMCC PPC405EX[r] on the AMCC Kilauea and
Haleakala boards (256 MiB w/o ECC memory soldered onto the board) and a
proprietary board based on those designs (128 MiB ECC memory, also
soldered onto the board).
In the future, dynamic feature detection and handling needs to be added
for the other realizations of this controller found in the 440SP, 440SPe,
460EX, 460GT and 460SX.
Eventually, this driver will likely be evolved and adapted to the above
variant realizations of this controller as well as broken apart to handle
the other known ECC-capable controllers prevalent in other PPC4xx
processors:
- IBM SDRAM (405GP, 405CR and 405EP) "ibm,sdram-4xx"
- IBM DDR1 (440GP, 440GX, 440EP and 440GR) "ibm,sdram-4xx-ddr"
- Denali DDR1/DDR2 (440EPX and 440GRX) "denali,sdram-4xx-ddr2"

We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().
task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4, we can remove it.
task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.
This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.

In the case of at24, the platform code registers a 'setup' callback with
the at24_platform_data. When the at24 driver detects an EEPROM, it fills
out the read and write functions of the memory_accessor and calls the
setup callback passing the memory_accessor struct. The platform code can
then use the read/write functions in the memory_accessor struct for
reading and writing the EEPROM.

[PATCH] sysrq: include interrupt.h instead of irq.h
The current logic for dmi matching in efifb does not allow efifb to load
on all hardware that we can dmi match for.
For a real world example, boot with elilo (3.7 or 3.8 vanilla) and on a
Apple (MacBook) and EFI framebuffer driver will not load (you will have no
video). This specific hardware is efi v1.10, so we have UGA and not GOP.
Without special bootloader magic (i.e. extra elilo patches for UGA
graphics detection) no screen info will be passed to the kernel and as a
result efifb will not load.
This patch allows the dmi match to happen by moving it to earlier in
efifb_init, and sets the video type (in set_system) so that efifb can load
when we have a valid dmi match and already know the specifics of the
hardware.
Without this patch the efifb driver will fail to load in the event screen
info is not found and passed in by the bootloader, being that we will
never get to look for a dmi match. A primary reason for matching with dmi
is because not all bootloaders detect the video info properly. The
solution is that in the event of a dmi match, we should set
screen_info.orig_video_isVGA. Most bootloaders fail to set screen info on
Apple hardware, and this is a big problem for people who use Apple
hardware.
Tested on a MacBook SantaRosa with elilo-3.8 (vanilla) and resolves the
issue, the dmi match now works, EFI framebuffer now loads and video works.
