Here are some cleanups, mainly removing unused variables and silly
declarations.

Julia Lawall found an un-needed check in the neo driver. Her patch moves
the check to cover the code dereferencing it, however it cannot be NULL
anyway so remove the NULL check instead.

Switch the serial_core based drivers to use the new tty_port structure.
We can't quite use all of it yet because of the dynamically allocated
extras in the serial_core layer.

The jsm driver doesn't currently use the uart_handle_*_change helper
functions, which are the obvious place for things like linuxpps to tie
into (which it now does of course), and as a result the jsm driver can
not be used with linuxpps and anything else that ties into the
serial_core helper functions. This patch adds calls to these helper
functions whenever the value they manage changes. That actual storage
of the state is not modified since the jsm driver caches the current
settings (The 8250 driver reads them everytime a user asks for the
state), and only updates them whenever they change.

- Eliminate casts to/from void*
- Eliminate checks for conditions that never occur. These typically
fall into two classes:
1) Checking for 'dev_id == NULL', then it is never called with
NULL as an argument.
2) Checking for invalid irq number, when the only caller (the
system) guarantees the irq handler is called with the proper
'irq' number argument.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

Digi serial port console doesn't work when baud rates are set higher than
38400. So the lookup table and code in jsm_neo.c has been modified and
tested. Please let me have the feed-back.

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!
