Calls to communicate with system firmware via a SMI (using dcdbas)
need to use a buffer that has a physical address of 4GB or less.
Currently the dell-laptop driver does not guarantee this, and when the
buffer address is higher than 4GB, the address is truncated to 32 bits
and the SMI handler writes to the wrong memory address.

The EeePC 4G ("701") implements CFVS, but it is not supported by the
pre-installed OS, and the original option to change it in the BIOS
setup screen was removed in later versions. Judging by the lack of
"Super Hybrid Engine" on Asus product pages, this applies to all "701"
models (4G/4G Surf/2G Surf).
So Asus made a deliberate decision not to support it on this model.
We have several reports that using it can cause the system to hang [1].
That said, it does not happen all the time. Some users do not
experience it at all (and apparently wish to continue "right-clocking").
Check for the EeePC 701 using DMI. If met, then disable writes to the
"cpufv" sysfs attribute and log an explanatory message.
Add a "cpufv_disabled" attribute which allow users to override this
policy. Writing to this attribute will log a second message.
The sysfs attribute is more useful than a module option, because it
makes it easier for userspace scripts to provide consistent behaviour
(according to user configuration), regardless of whether the kernel
includes this change.

It would appear that in BIOS's with nVidia hooks, the GUID
05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 is duplicated. For now, the simplest
solution is to just ignore any duplicate GUIDs. These particular hooks are not
currently supported/ used in the kernel, so whoever does that can figure out
what the 'right' solution should be (if there's a better one).

Allow the user to choose through Kconfig if the Console Audio Control

This not only saves some memory, but also allows the thinkpad-acpi
driver to be built-in even if ALSA is modular when the console audio
control interface is not wanted.
This change fixes a build problem that is causing some annoyances, in
a way that doesn't disable the entire driver on kernels without ALSA
support.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.
