One of the legit warnings 'make W=3 drivers/ide/ide-cd.c'
generates is:
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c: In function ide_cd_do_request
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:828:2: warning: conversion to int from \
unsigned int may change the sign of the result
drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:833:2: warning: conversion to int from \
unsigned int may change the sign of the result

nsectors is declared int, should be unsigned int.

blk_rq_sectors() returns unsigned int, and ide_complete_rq
expects unsigned int as well.  Fixes both warnings.

<title>block: fix mismerge of the DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE removal</title>

Jens' back-merge commit 698567f3fa79 ("Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into
for-2.6.40/core") was incorrectly done, and re-introduced the
DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE lines that had been removed earlier in commits

 - 9fd097b14918 ("block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for
   legacy/fringe drivers")

 - 7eec77a1816a ("ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd
   and ide-cd")

because of conflicts with the "g-&gt;flags" updates near-by by commit
d4dc210f69bc ("block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical
devices")

As a result, we re-introduced the hanging behavior due to infinite disk
media change reports.

Tssk, tssk, people! Don't do back-merges at all, and *definitely* don't
do them to hide merge conflicts from me - especially as I'm likely
better at merging them than you are, since I do so many merges.

Since for-2.6.40/core was forked off the 2.6.39 devel tree, we've
had churn in the core area that makes it difficult to handle
patches for eg cfq or blk-throttle. Instead of requiring that they
be based in older versions with bugs that have been fixed later
in the rc cycle, merge in 2.6.39 final.

Also fixes up conflicts in the below files.

Conflicts:
	drivers/block/paride/pcd.c
	drivers/cdrom/viocd.c

<title>block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical devices</title>

<content type='text'>
Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write.  This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress.  This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.

This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

<content type='text'>
check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are
inadequate for in-kernel event polling.  Both generate media change
events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite
event loop between the driver and userland event handler.

As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply
de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk-&gt;events resolves the
problem.  Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the
same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after
detecting the device doesn't support disk events.
