Now, a dedicated HEST tabling parsing code is used for PCIE AER
firmware_first setup. It is rebased on general HEST tabling parsing
code of APEI. The firmware_first setup code is moved from PCI core to
AER driver too, because it is only AER related.

While waiting for completion of the i2c transfer, the
MPU could hit OFF mode and cause several msecs of
delay that made i2c transfers fail more often. The
extra delays and subsequent re-trys cause i2c clocks
to be active more often. This has also an negative
effect on power consumption.
Created a mechanism for passing and using the
constraint setting function in driver code. The used
mpu wake up latency constraints are now set individually
per bus, and they are calculated based on clock rate
and fifo size.
Thanks to Jarkko Nikula, Moiz Sonasath, Paul Walmsley,
and Nishanth Menon for tuning out the details of
this patch.
Updates by Kevin as requested by Tony:
- Remove omap_set_i2c_constraint_func() in favor of conditionally
adding the flag in omap_i2c_add_bus() in order to keep all the OMAP
conditional checking in a single location.
- Update set_mpu_wkup_lat prototypes to match OMAP PM layer so
OMAP PM function can be used directly in pdata.

Some of error handling logic in ata_sff_error_handler() and all of
ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() are for BMDMA. Create
ata_bmdma_error_handler() and ata_bmdma_post_internal_cmd() and move
BMDMA part into those.
While at it, change DMA protocol check to ata_is_dma(), fix
post_internal_cmd to call ap->ops->bmdma_stop instead of directly
calling ata_bmdma_stop() and open code hardreset selection so that
ata_std_error_handler() doesn't have to know about sff hardreset.
As these two functions are BMDMA specific, there's no reason to check
for bmdma_addr before calling bmdma methods if the protocol of the
failed command is DMA. sata_mv and pata_mpc52xx now don't need to set
.post_internal_cmd to ATA_OP_NULL and pata_icside and sata_qstor don't
need to set it to their bmdma_stop routines.
ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() becomes noop and is removed.
This fixes p3 described in clean-up-BMDMA-initialization patch.

port_task is tightly bound to the standard SFF PIO HSM implementation.
Using it for any other purpose would be error-prone and there's no
such user and if some drivers need such feature, it would be much
better off using its own. Move it inside CONFIG_ATA_SFF and rename it
to sff_pio_task.
The only function which is exposed to the core layer is
ata_sff_flush_pio_task() which is renamed from ata_port_flush_task()
and now also takes care of resetting hsm_task_state to HSM_ST_IDLE,
which is possible as it's now specific to PIO HSM.

Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
When BMDMA initialization failed or BMDMA was not available for
whatever reason, bmdma_addr was left at zero and used as an indication
that BMDMA shouldn't be used. This leads to the following problems.
p1. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register,
ata_bmdma_mode_filter() incorrectly inhibits DMA modes. Those
drivers either have to inherit from ata_sff_port_ops or clear
->mode_filter explicitly.
p2. non-BMDMA drivers call into BMDMA PRD table allocation. It
doesn't actually allocate PRD table if bmdma_addr is not
initialized but is still confusing.
p3. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register, some
methods might not be invoked as expected (e.g. bmdma_stop from
ata_sff_post_internal_cmd()).
p4. SFF drivers w/ custom DMA interface implement noop BMDMA ops
worrying libata core might call into one of them.
These problems are caused by the muddy line between SFF and BMDMA and
the assumption that all BMDMA controllers initialize bmdma_addr.
This patch fixes p1 and p2 by removing the bmdma_addr assumption and
moving prd allocation to BMDMA port start. Later patches will fix the
remaining issues.
This patch improves BMDMA initialization such that
* When BMDMA register initialization fails, falls back to PIO instead
of failing. ata_pci_bmdma_init() never fails now.
* When ata_pci_bmdma_init() falls back to PIO, it clears
ap->mwdma_mask and udma_mask instead of depending on
ata_bmdma_mode_filter(). This makes ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
unnecessary thus resolving p1.
* ata_port_start() which actually is BMDMA specific is moved to
ata_bmdma_port_start(). ata_port_start() and ata_sff_port_start()
are killed.
* ata_sff_port_start32() is moved and renamed to
ata_bmdma_port_start32().
Drivers which no longer call into PRD table allocation are...
pdc_adma, sata_inic162x, sata_qstor, sata_sx4, pata_cmd640 and all
drivers which inherit from ata_sff_port_ops.
pata_icside sets ->port_start to ATA_OP_NULL as it doesn't need PRD
but is a BMDMA controller and doesn't have custom port_start like
other such controllers.
Note that with the previous patch which makes all and only BMDMA
drivers inherit from ata_bmdma_port_ops, this change doesn't break
drivers which need PRD table.

This flag is intended to indicate streaming errors, which might have
resulted in corrupted video data in the buffer, but the buffer can still
be reused and streaming may continue.
Setting this flag and returning 0 is different from returning EIO. The
latter should now indicate more serious (unrecoverable) errors.
This patch also solves a problem with the ioctl handling code in
vl42-ioctl.c, which does not copy buffer identification data back to the
userspace when EIO is returned, so there is no way for applications
to discover on which buffer the operation failed in such cases.

Instead of the host and guest independently enumerating ports, switch to
a control message to add ports where the host supplies the port number
so there's no ambiguity or a possibility of a race between the host and
the guest port numbers.
We now no longer need the 'nr_ports' config value. Since no kernel has
been released with the MULTIPORT changes yet, we have a chance to fiddle
with the config space without adding compatibility features.
This is beneficial for management software, which would now be able to
instantiate ports at known locations and avoid problems that arise with
implicit numbering in the host and the guest. This removes the 'guessing
game' part of it, and management software can now actually indicate
which id to spawn a particular port on.

padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that
need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu.
This check was wrong implemented and returned always true,
so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This
can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that
appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop
was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that
loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead.
This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with
the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while
cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder
already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because
it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock
cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object
was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer
function sends it out in this case.

This callback is required when RAM based devices are used as swap disks.
One such device is ramzswap which is used as compressed in-memory swap
disk. For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no
longer used to allow freeing memory allocated for this slot. Without this
callback, stale data can quickly accumulate in memory defeating the whole
