When comparing a pointer, it's clearer to compare it to NULL than to 0.

b716395e2b8e450e294537de0c91476ded2f0395 added code to handle
a compatability issue with 32bit quota tools, but the new compat
routines are only needed when CONFIG_COMPAT=y (and with this set
to 'n' there are compilation problems since some new typedefs are
not visible).
Reported by Doug Chapman. Fix tuned by a cast of thousands (Andi,
Andreas, Arthur, HPA, Willy)

When the card has been added to the device model, it might be bound
to a card driver. Therefore, we have to release the host lock when
trying to remove it as we otherwise might deadlock with the driver.

Currently we calculate the first timeslice for every context
incorrectly - alloc_spu_context calls spu_set_timeslice before we set
ctx->prio so we always calculate the longest possible timeslice for the
lowest possible priority.
This patch makes sure to update the schedule-related fields before
calculating the timeslice and also makes sure we update the timeslice for
a non-running context when entering spu_run so a priority change affects
the context as soon as possible.

We currently initialize cbe_spu_info[].spus in both init_spu_base and
spu_sched_init. The initialise in spu_sched_init clears the SPU list,
so we end up with no physical SPUs. Because of this, the spu_run
syscall will block forever.
This change removes the unnecessary initialization in spu_sched_init.

This patch uses the newly added functions for testing if an address is
an ISA or PCI IO port to properly unmap things in pci_iounmap that
aren't such ports. Without that, drivers using the iomap API will never
actually unmap resources, which on IBM server machines will prevent
hot-unplug of the corresponding HW adapters.

As of 2.6.22 the kernel doesn't recognize the i8042 keyboard/mouse
controller on the PegasosPPC. This is because of a feature/bug in the
OF device tree: the "device_type" attribute is an empty string instead
of "8042" as the kernel expects. This adds a secondary detection
which looks for a device whose *name* is "8042" if there is no device
whose *type* is "8042".

Scan the device tree for i2c devices, check their "compatible" property
against a hard-coded table, and, if found, register with i2c boardinfo.
This provides the infrastructure needed to find i2c devices in the
device tree and register them with the i2c subsystem.
This and the following commit let the linkstation work with the new i2c
API and thus fix a regression.

This reverts commit fd6e9d3945ee122eb513ada8b17296d243c1ce5e.
Having #size-cells == 0 in a node indicates that things under the
node aren't directly accessible, and therefore we shouldn't try to
translate addresses for devices under the node into CPU physical
addresses.
Some drivers, such as the nvram driver for powermacs, rely on
of_address_to_resource failing if they are called for a node
representing a device whose resources aren't directly accessible
by the CPU. These drivers were broken by commit fd6e9d39,
resulting in the "Lombard" powerbook hanging early in the boot
process.

While learning about schedstats I found that the documentation in the tree
is old. I updated it and found some interesting stuff like schedstats
version 14 is the same as version and version 13 never saw a kernel
release! Also there are 6 fields in the current schedstats that are not
used anymore. Nick had made them irrelevant in commit
476d139c218e44e045e4bc6d4cc02b010b343939 but never removed them.
Thanks to Rick's perl script who I borrowed some of the updated descriptions
from.

it is enough to disable interrupts to get the precise rq-clock
of the local CPU.
this also solves an NMI watchdog regression: the NMI watchdog
calls touch_softlockup_watchdog(), which might deadlock on
rq->lock if the NMI hits an rq-locked critical section.

This adds a general mechanism whereby a task can request the scheduler to
notify it whenever it is preempted or scheduled back in. This allows the
task to swap any special-purpose registers like the fpu or Intel's VT
registers.

increase SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ that adds a small amount of
over-balancing: to help distribute CPU-bound tasks more fairly on SMP
systems.
the problem of unfair balancing was noticed and reported by Tong N Li.
10 CPU-bound tasks running on 8 CPUs, v2.6.23-rc1:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2572 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.61 loop
2578 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.59 loop
2576 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.52 loop
2571 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 100 0.0 1:03.46 loop
2569 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 99 0.0 1:03.36 loop
2570 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 95 0.0 1:00.55 loop
2577 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.88 loop
2574 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.87 loop
2573 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.86 loop
2575 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 50 0.0 0:31.86 loop
v2.6.23-rc1 + patch:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2681 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 85 0.0 3:51.68 loop
2688 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 81 0.0 3:46.35 loop
2682 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 80 0.0 3:43.68 loop
2685 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 80 0.0 3:45.97 loop
2683 mingo 20 0 1576 248 196 R 80 0.0 3:40.25 loop
2679 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 80 0.0 3:33.53 loop
2680 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 79 0.0 3:43.53 loop
2686 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 79 0.0 3:39.31 loop
2687 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 78 0.0 3:33.31 loop
2684 mingo 20 0 1576 244 196 R 77 0.0 3:27.52 loop
so they now nicely converge to the expected 80% long-term CPU usage.
