1d678f365d DMA-API.txt: fix description of pci_map_sg/dma_map_sg scatterlists handling
- pci_map_sg/dma_map_sg are used with a scatter gather list that doesn't
  come from the block layer (e.g.  some network drivers do).

- how IOMMUs merge adjacent elements of the scatter/gather list is
  independent of how the block layer determines sees elements.

7ef9964e6d epoll: introduce resource usage limits
It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface.  Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds.  To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced.  A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:

  max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user

  max_user_watches   = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user

The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM.  As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users.  The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.

This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC).  The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

Impact: makes device isolation the default for AMD IOMMU

Some device drivers showed double-free bugs of DMA memory while testing
them with AMD IOMMU. If all devices share the same protection domain
this can lead to data corruption and data loss. Prevent this by putting
each device into its own protection domain per default.

455fbdd376 LIS3LV02Dx Accelerometer driver
This adds a driver to the accelerometer sensor found in several HP
laptops (under the commercial names of "HP Mobile Data Protection System
3D" and "HP 3D driveguard").  It tries to have more or less the same
interfaces as the hdaps and other accelerometer drivers: in sysfs and as
a joystick.

This driver was first written by Yan Burman.  Eric Piel has updated it
and slimed it up (including the removal of an interface to access to the
free-fall feature of the sensor because it is not reliable enough for
now).  Pavel Machek removed few more features and switched locking from
semaphore to mutex.

Several people have contributed to the database of the axes.

3b1b3f6e57 freezer_cg: disable writing freezer.state of root cgroup
With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root
cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable.

I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup.  And
then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not
used.

Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather
than EIO.  This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.

ec5d7657f7 powerpc: Repair device bindings documentation
Commit d0fc2eaaf4 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor
device bindings" split out a number of device bindings from
booting-without-of.txt into separate files.  Having them all in one file
was a frequent source of merge conflicts.

However, in the next merge, 49997d7515, there
was another conflict.  Some of the bindings removed from
booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in
dts-bindings were kept as well.

This patch re-removes "Freescale Display Interface" and "Freescale on board
FPGA" and fixes the table of contents.

c3d6de698c ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor drivers
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).

Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.

This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.

"acpi_backlight=vendor"
	Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.
"acpi_backlight=video" (default)
	Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.

a0d84a92df ACPI: update debug parameter documentation
Reformat acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level documentation so it's
more readable, add some clues about how to figure out the mask bits that
enable a specific ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statement, and include some useful
examples.

Move the list of masks to Documentation/acpi/debug.txt (these are
copies of the authoritative values in acoutput.h and acpi_drivers.h).

dfc209c006 fat: Fix ATTR_RO for directory
FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO
of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only
applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by
Explorer.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx

This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as
read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode
is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).
