Introduce a common function to handle large, contiguous kmalloc buffer
allocations by exponentially backing off on the size of the requested
kernel transfer buffer until it succeeds or until the requested
transfer buffer size falls below the page size.
This helps ensure the operation can succeed under low-memory, highly-
fragmented situations albeit somewhat more slowly.
Artem: so this patch solves the problem that the kernel tries to kmalloc too
large buffers, which (a) may fail and does fail - people complain about this,
and (b) slows down the system in case of high memory fragmentation, because
the kernel starts dropping caches, writing back, swapping, etc. But we do not
really have to allocate a lot of memory to do the I/O, we may do this even with
as little as one min. I/O unit (NAND page) of RAM. So the idea of this patch is
that if the user asks to read or write a lot, we try to kmalloc a lot, with GFP
flags which make the kernel _not_ drop caches, etc. If we can allocate it - good,
if not - we try to allocate twice as less, and so on, until we reach the min.
I/O unit size, which is our last resort allocation and use the normal
GFP_KERNEL flag.
Artem: re-write the allocation function so that it makes sure the allocated
buffer is aligned to the min. I/O size of the flash.

around in this patch set we postpone that by simply deactivating
it for the time being.
This is a snapshot of the current PRCMU firmware API as it looks
right now. The PRCMU firmware is still subject to change. This
also updates the CPUfreq driver to a newer version that will
utilize the new API.

to make the PRCMU driver compile, link and boot in the new place

This patch addresses a bug in the target core release path for HW
operation where transport_free_dev_tasks() was incorrectly being called
from transport_lun_remove_cmd() while releasing a se_cmd reference and
calling struct target_core_fabric_ops->queue_data_in().
This would result in a OOPs with HW target mode when the release of
se_task->task_sg[] would happen before pci_unmap_sg() can be called in
HW target mode fabric module code. This patch addresses the issue by
moving transport_free_dev_tasks() from transport_lun_remove_cmd() into
transport_generic_free_cmd(), and adding TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR and
transport_generic_free_cmd_intr() to allow se_cmd descriptor release
to happen fromfrom within transport_processing_thread() process context
when release of se_cmd is not possible from HW interrupt context.

In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that
an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread
writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction
starts to commit. In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a
flush to file system device when it is different from the journal
device (because data can still be in disk cache only).
Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added
to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.

An administrative detach used to request a state change directly to D_DISKLESS,
first suspending IO to avoid the last put_ldev() occuring from an endio handler,
potentially in irq context.
This is not enough on the receiving side (typically secondary), we may miss
some peer_req on the way to local disk, which then may do the last put_ldev()
from their drbd_peer_request_endio().
This patch makes the detach always go through the intermediate D_FAILED state.
We may consider to rename it D_DETACHING.
Alternative approach would be to create yet an other work item to be scheduled
on the worker, do the destructor work from there, and get the timing right.
