Split ram_console into two halves.
persistent_ram is a set of apis that handle a block of memory
that does not get erased across a reboot. It provides functions
to fill it as a single buffer or a ring buffer, and to extract
the old data after a reboot. It handles ecc on the data to
correct bit errors introduced during reboot.
ram_console is now a small wrapper around persistent_ram that
feeds console data into the ringbuffer, and exports the old
data to /proc/last_kmsg after a reboot.
[jstultz: Moved persistent_ram.h to staging dir]

The anonymous shared memory (ashmem) subsystem provides a
Unix-y,file-based shared memory interface to user-space. It
works like anonymous memory (e.g. mmapping fd=0) except if
you share the file descriptor via the usual means, you will
share the mapping. The shared memory can be accessed via both
mmap or file I/O. The backing store is a simple shmem file.
Additionally, ashmem introduces the concept of page pinning.
Pinned pages (the default) behave like any anonymous memory.
Unpinned pages are available to the kernel for eviction during
VM pressure. When repinning the pages, the return value
instructs user-space as to any eviction. In this manner,
user-space processes may implement caching and similar
resource management that efficiently integrates with kernel
memory management.

ashmem: Don't install fault handler for private mmaps.
Ashmem is used to create named private heaps. If this heap is backed
by a tmpfs file it will allocate two pages for every page touched.
In 2.6.27, the extra page would later be freed, but 2.6.29 does not
scan anonymous pages when running without swap so the memory is not
freed while the file is referenced. This change changes the behavior
of private ashmem mmaps to match /dev/zero instead tmpfs.

ashmem: don't require a page aligned size
This makes ashmem more similar to shmem and mmap, by
not requiring the specified size to be page aligned,
instead rounding it internally as needed.

from rlove. Also moved ashmem files to staging dir, and reworked
code to avoid touching mm/shmem.c while we're in staging.]

This adds the Android switch driver code to the staging tree.
[Note, this code was located in drivers/switch/ in the Android kernel
releases, but as that api wasn't generally accepted, and the interface
is working toward changing to the newly proposed extcon inteface, this
driver was placed here until the extcon code is merged into mainline and
the Android userspace code is converted over to using it. - gregkh]

This reverts commit b0a0ccfad8.
Turns out I was wrong, we want these in the tree.
Note, I've disabled the drivers from the build at the moment, so other
patches can be applied to fix some build issues due to internal api
changes since the code was removed from the tree.

These drivers are no longer being developed and the original authors
seem to have abandonded them and hence, do not want them in the mainline
kernel tree.
So sad :(

This prepares us to start adding the android drivers
to the build.
The dummy android.c file will go away in the next few patches, as it
will not be needed once drivers/staging/android/ has a driver in it.
