dfd2e1b4e6 PNPBIOS: remove include/linux/pnpbios.h
The contents of include/linux/pnpbios.h are used only inside the PNPBIOS
backend, so this file doesn't need to be visible outside PNP.

This patch moves the contents into an existing PNPBIOS-specific file,
drivers/pnp/pnpbios/pnpbios.h.

f449000209 PNP: add pnp_init_resources(struct pnp_dev *) interface
Add pnp_init_resources(struct pnp_dev *) to replace
pnp_init_resource_table(), which takes a pointer to the
pnp_resource_table itself.  Passing only the pnp_dev * reduces
the possibility for error in the caller and removes the
pnp_resource_table implementation detail from the interface.

Even though pnp_init_resource_table() is exported, I did not
export pnp_init_resources() because it is used only by the PNP
core.

59284cb409 PNP: remove pnp_resource_table from internal get/set interfaces
When we call protocol->get() and protocol->set() methods, we currently
supply pointers to both the pnp_dev and the pnp_resource_table even
though the pnp_resource_table should always be the one associated with
the pnp_dev.

This removes the pnp_resource_table arguments to make it clear that
these methods only operate on the specified pnp_dev.

25eb846189 PNP: add pnp_eisa_id_to_string()
Converting the EISA ID to a string is messy and error-prone, and

PNPACPI uses the conversion done by the ACPI core with
acpi_ex_eisa_id_to_string().

2bb9a6b32f pnp: declare PNP option parsing functions as __init
There are three kind of parse functions provided by PNP acpi/bios:
 - get current resources
 - set resources
 - get possible resources
The first two may be needed later at runtime.
The possible resource settings should never change dynamically.
And even if this would make any sense (I doubt it), the current implementation
only parses possible resource settings at early init time:
  -> declare all the option parsing __init

1855256c49 drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals
Three main sets of changes:

1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
   since callers should not be changing that data.

2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
   whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
   that data area.

3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
   in low-level drivers.

And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.

The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated.  #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

8f81dd1498 PNP: notice whether we have PNP devices (PNPBIOS or PNPACPI)
This series converts i386 and x86_64 legacy serial ports to be platform
devices and prevents probing for them if we have PNP.

This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy
probe and by 8250_pnp.

This also prevents the serial driver from claiming IRDA devices (unless they
have a UART PNP ID).  The serial legacy probe sometimes assumed the wrong IRQ,
so the user had to use "setserial" to fix it.

Removing the need for setserial to make IRDA devices work seems good, but it
does break some things.  In particular, you may need to keep setserial from
poking legacy UART stuff back in by doing something like "dpkg-reconfigure
setserial" with the "kernel" option.  Otherwise, the setserial-discovered
"UART" will claim resources and prevent the IRDA driver from loading.

This patch:

If we can discover devices using PNP, we can skip some legacy probes.  This
flag ("pnp_platform_devices") indicates that PNPBIOS or PNPACPI is enabled and
should tell us about builtin devices.

	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

* 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.

3ae192080c [PATCH] Fix swsusp with PNP BIOS
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.

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.

3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
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!
