Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.
The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.
Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.
The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

Remove support for the debug call VIDIOC_INT_S_AUDIO_ROUTING from cx18
and ivtv. These internal ioctls shouldn't be exposed. These were only
used through the cx18-ctl and ivtv-ctl utilities, and only when testing
a new card variant.
This cleanup allows the removal of this ioctl from v4l2-common.h.

With all the v4l2_subdev changes that were made to these drivers it is a
good idea to increase the version number of each driver.
It's just the patch level that is increased, except for the zoran and saa7146

changes that were made to those two drivers.

Originally the intention was to switch to the new style i2c API starting with
the introduction of the API in 2.6.22. However, the i2c_new_probed_device()
function has a lethal bug that wasn't fixed until 2.6.25. Or more accurately,
it was only fixed in the stable series of 2.6.25 and 2.6.26.
Given the fact that the new i2c API also changed starting with 2.6.26 (the
addition of i2c_device_id), it is easiest to switch APIs starting with
2.6.26.
This patch updates all the legacy code accordingly.

ROHM BD2802GU is a RGB LED controller attached to i2c bus and specifically
engineered for decoration purposes. This RGB controller incorporates
lighting patterns and illuminates.
This driver is designed to minimize power consumption, so when there is no
emitting LED, it enters to reset state. And because the BD2802GU has lots
of features that can't be covered by the current LED framework, it
provides Advanced Configuration Function(ADF) mode, so that user
applications can set registers of BD2802GU directly.
Here are basic usage examples :
; to turn on LED (not blink)
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/brightness
; to blink LED
$ echo timer > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/trigger
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/delay_on
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/delay_off
; to turn off LED
$ echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/brightness

By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the
previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only
sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes
being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.
Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this
flag.
