328a14e70e UIO: Add write function to allow irq masking
Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device
from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver
can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write
an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The
UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function.

43691da4ce UIO: fix race in device_create
There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.

This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata().

610ad5064c UIO: hold a reference to the device's owner while the device is open
Otherwise the device might just disappear while /dev/uioX is being used
which results in an Oops.

c9698d6b1a UIO: add pgprot_noncached() to UIO mmap code
Mapping of physical memory in UIO needs pgprot_noncached() to ensure
that IO memory is not cached. Without pgprot_noncached(), it (accidentally)
works on x86 and arm, but fails on PPC.

4f808bcdf8 UIO: fix Greg's stupid changes
This fixes two bugs with UIO that cropped up recently in -rc1

1) WARNING: at fs/sysfs/file.c:334 sysfs_open_file when trying to open
   a map addr/size file - complaining about missing sysfs_ops for ktype

2) Permission denied when reading uio/uio0/maps/map0/{addr,size} when
   files are mode S_IRUGO

Also fix a typo: attr_attribute -> addr_attribute

c10997f657 Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()
There is no need for kobject_unregister() anymore, thanks to Kay's
kobject cleanup changes, so replace all instances of it with
kobject_put().

81e7c6a636 UIO: fix kobject usage
The uio kobject code is "wierd".  This patch should hopefully fix it up
to be sane and not leak memory anymore.

3514faca19 kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young

beafc54c4e UIO: Add the User IO core code
This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in
userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself.
It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to
process interrupts and control memory accesses.

See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this
interface.
