This patch series introduces a cgroup subsystem that utilizes the swsusp
freezer to freeze a group of tasks. It's immediately useful for batch job
management scripts. It should also be useful in the future for
implementing container checkpoint/restart.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a cgroup file
named freezer.state. Reading freezer.state will return the current state
of the cgroup. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
This patch:
The first step in making the refrigerator() available to all
architectures, even for those without power management.
The purpose of such a change is to be able to use the refrigerator() in a
new control group subsystem which will implement a control group freezer.

This adds support for DMA transfers through the generic DMA engine
framework with the DMA slave extensions.
The driver has been tested using mmc-block and ext3fs on several SD,
SDHC and MMC+ cards. Reads and writes work fine, with read transfer
rates up to 7.5 MiB/s on fast cards with debugging disabled.
Unfortunately, the driver has been known to lock up from time to time
with DMA enabled, so DMA support is currently optional and marked
EXPERIMENTAL. However, I didn't see any problems while testing 13
different cards (MMC, SD and SDHC of different brands and sizes), so I
suspect the "Initialize BLKR before sending data transfer command" fix
that was posted earlier fixed this as well.

The Atmel MCI controller can drive multiple cards through separate sets
of pins, but only one at a time. This patch adds support for
multiplexing access to the controller so that multiple card slots can be
used as if they were hooked up to separate mmc controllers.
The atmel-mci driver registers each slot as a separate mmc_host. Both
access the same common controller state, but they also have some state
on their own for card detection/write protect handling, and separate
shadows of the MR and SDCR registers.
When one of the slots receives a request from the mmc core, the common
controller state is checked. If it's idle, the request is submitted
immediately. If not, the request is added to a queue. When a request is
done, the queue is checked and if there is a queued request, it is
submitted before the completion callback is called.
This patch also includes a few cleanups and fixes, including a locking
overhaul. I had to change the locking extensively in any case, so I
might as well try to get it right. The driver no longer takes any
irq-safe locks, which may or may not improve the overall system
performance.
This patch also adds a bit of documentation of the internal data
structures.

Add the necessary platform infrastructure to support multiple mmc/sdcard
slots all at once through a single controller. Currently, the driver
will use the first valid slot it finds and stick with that, but later
patches will add support for switching between several slots on the fly.
Extend the platform data structure with per-slot information: MMC/SDcard
bus width and card detect/write protect pins. This will affect the pin
muxing as well as the capabilities announced to the mmc core.
Note that board code is now required to supply a mci_platform_data
struct to at32_add_device_mci().
