VIDEO_GO7007 uses usb interfaces so it should depend on USB.

f1923820c4 perf/x86: Fix offcore_rsp valid mask for SNB/IVB
The valid mask for both offcore_response_0 and
offcore_response_1 was wrong for SNB/SNB-EP,
IVB/IVB-EP. It was possible to write to
reserved bit and cause a GP fault crashing
the kernel.

This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the
reserved bits in the valid mask for all the processors
mentioned above.

A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced
because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts.

This version of the  patch is just a rebase to perf/urgent tree
and should apply to older kernels as well.

31ff2f20d9 efi: Distinguish between "remaining space" and actually used space
EFI implementations distinguish between space that is actively used by a
variable and space that merely hasn't been garbage collected yet. Space
that hasn't yet been garbage collected isn't available for use and so isn't
counted in the remaining_space field returned by QueryVariableInfo().

Combined with commit 68d9298 this can cause problems. Some implementations
don't garbage collect until the remaining space is smaller than the maximum
variable size, and as a result check_var_size() will always fail once more
than 50% of the variable store has been used even if most of that space is
marked as available for garbage collection. The user is unable to create
new variables, and deleting variables doesn't increase the remaining space.

The problem that 68d9298 was attempting to avoid was one where certain
platforms fail if the actively used space is greater than 50% of the
available storage space. We should be able to calculate that by simply
summing the size of each available variable and subtracting that from
the total storage space. With luck this will fix the problem described in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55471 without permitting
damage to occur to the machines 68d9298 was attempting to fix.

cc5a080c5d efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code
EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services.
This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at
runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results
from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but
that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully,
calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more
reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub
up to the efi platform code.

ee40a116eb net: mvneta: fix improper tx queue usage in mvneta_tx()
mvneta_tx() was using a static tx queue number causing crashes as
soon as a little bit of traffic was sent via the interface, because
it is normally expected that the same queue should be used as in
dev_queue_xmit().

As suggested by Ben Hutchings, let's use skb_get_queue_mapping() to
get the proper Tx queue number, and use alloc_etherdev_mqs() instead
of alloc_etherdev_mq() to create the queues.

Both my Mirabox and my OpenBlocks AX3 used to crash without this patch
and don't anymore with it. The issue appeared in 3.8 but became more
visible after the fix allowing GSO to be enabled.

Original work was done by Dmitri Epshtein and Thomas Petazzoni. I
just adapted it to take care of Ben's comments.

a877e2771a [media] cx25821: do not expose broken video output streams
The cx25821 driver has support for one audio output channel and two video
output channels.
This is implemented in a very ugly and very evil way through a custom ioctl
that passes the filename of a file containing the video data, which is then
read by the driver itself using vfs.
There are a number of problems with this:
1) it's very ugly and very evil (I can't say that often enough).
2) V4L2 supports video output, so why not use that?
3) it's very buggy, closing the filehandle through which you passed the ioctl
   will oops the kernel.
4) it's a nasty security leak since this allows you to load any file in the
   system as a video or audio source, so in theory you can output /etc/passwd
   to audio or video out and record & decode it on another device.
Because of all these issues we no longer register those output video nodes.

c95789ecd5 [media] cx25821: do not expose broken video output streams
The cx25821 driver has support for one audio output channel and two video
output channels.
This is implemented in a very ugly and very evil way through a custom ioctl
that passes the filename of a file containing the video data, which is then
read by the driver itself using vfs.

1) it's very ugly and very evil (I can't say that often enough).
