ad941fe4b6 [POWERPC] cell: Fix errno for modular spufs_create with invalid neighbour
At present, spu_create with an invalid neighbo(u)r will return -ENOSYS,
not -EBADF, but only when spufs.o is built as a module.

This change adds the appropriate errno, making the behaviour the same
as the built-in case.

8e68e2f248 [CELL] spufs: extension of spu_create to support affinity definition
This patch adds support for additional flags at spu_create, which relate
to the establishment of affinity between contexts and contexts to memory.
A fourth, optional, parameter is supported. This parameter represent
a affinity neighbor of the context being created, and is used when defining
SPU-SPU affinity.
Affinity is represented as a doubly linked list of spu_contexts.

59d6d39f30 [PATCH] spufs: fix module refcount race
One of the two users of spufs_calls.owner still has a race
when calling try_module_get while the module is removed.
This makes it use the correct instance of owner.

Noticed by Milton Miller.

b41305a39a [PATCH] spufs: Fix oops when spufs module is not loaded
try_module_get returns true when NULL arguments, so
we first need to check if there is a module loaded before
getting the reference count.

67207b9664 [PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base
This is the current version of the spu file system, used
for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine.

This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.

The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.

See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use
spufs.
