ppc can boot one single binary on prep, chrp and pmac boards. ppc64 can
boot one single binary on pseries and G5 boards. pmac has no legacy io,
probing for PC style legacy hardware (or accessing the legacy io area
regulary) may lead to a hard crash:
* add check for parport_pc, exit on pmac. 32bit chrp has no
->check_legacy_ioport, the probe is always called. 64bit chrp has
check_legacy_ioport, check for a "parallel" node
* add check for isapnp, only PReP boards may have real ISA slots. 32bit
PReP will have no ->check_legacy_ioport, the probe is always called.
* update code in i8042_platform_init. Run ->check_legacy_ioport first,
always call request_region. No functional change. Remove whitespace
before i8042_reset init.

swsusp is unable to suspend my machine (DTK FortisPro TOP-5A notebook) with
kernel 2.6.17.5 because it's unable to suspend PNP device 00:16 (mouse).
The problem is in PNP BIOS. pnp_bus_suspend() calls pnp_stop_dev() for the
device if the device can be disabled according to pnp_can_disable(). The
problem is that pnpbios_disable_resources() returns -EPERM if the device is
not dynamic (!pnpbios_is_dynamic()) but insert_device() happily sets
PNP_DISABLE capability/flag even if the device is not dynamic. So we try
to disable non-dynamic devices which will fail. This patch prevents
insert_device() from setting PNP_DISABLE if the device is not dynamic and
fixes suspend on my system.

Without the attached, the kernel complains about my BIOS' PNP tables. It

PnP BIOS data, code, and 32-bit entry segments all have fixed limits as well;
set them in the GDT rather than adding more code. It would be nice to add
these fixups to the boot GDT rather than setting the GDT for each CPU; perhaps
I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks
tricky.
Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.

The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP
BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out. These parameteres may be passed
from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to
stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size.
Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the
limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity.
When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get
system device node" call:
mov ax, es:[bx]
Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

Move PnP BIOS segment definitions into segment.h; the segments are reserved
here, so they might as well be defined here as well.
Note I didn't do this for APM BIOS, as Macintosh and other systems use those
values to emulate APM in some scary way I don't want to understand.

Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a
hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot
data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in
VMware.
Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT
(which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is
allocated dynamically.

These days we use udev to manage all kernel events. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
will usually be disabled by an init-script. pnpnbios is not integrated with
the driver core and should stay away from the now disabled /sbin/hotplug.
Set the helper to /sbin/phpbios, even when there is probably no current
user of this faciliy. If it's needed, it should definitely get proper driver
core integration instead of forking binaries from the kernel.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, and PNPACPI all had their own kmalloc wrappers that
reimplemented kcalloc(). Remove the wrappers and just use kcalloc()
directly.
Note that this also removes the PNPBIOS error message when the kmalloc
fails.

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
