This patch fixes two problems when acceleration is enabled:
- console switch from the Xorg locks up the computer
because the Xorg code locks some registers and disables
the mmio mode, so reenable these in the
tridentfb_set_par() and enable_mmio()
- blacklist the Image975 chipset from setting PCI burst
mode. This helps with random lock ups of the
framebuffer on this chip. The same fix is probably
needed for the Xorg as well.

This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus
RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-cmos, in two ways:
- When HPET is stealing the IRQs, use the first IRQ to grab
the seconds counter which will be monitored (instead of
using whatever was previously in that memory);
- In sane IRQ handling modes, scrub out old IRQ status before
enabling IRQs.
That latter is done by tightening up IRQ handling for rtc-cmos everywhere,
also ensuring that when HPET is used it's the only thing triggering IRQ
reports to userspace; net object shrink.
Also fix a bogus HPET message related to its RTC emulation.

Resolve http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11051 and other bugs
related to the way the HPET glue code in rtc-cmos was incomplete and
inconsistent:
* Switch the approach so that the basic driver code flow isn't
changed by having HPET ... instead, just have HPET shadow the
RTC_CONTROL irq enables and RTC_FREQ_SELECT data. It's only
coping with IRQ thievery, after all.
* Do that consistently (!!) to avoid problems when the HPET code
is out of sync with the real RTC intent. Examples include:
- cmos_procfs(), which now reports correct data
- cmos_irq_set_state() ... also removing the previous PIE_{ON,OFF}
ioctl support so only one code path manages "periodic" IRQs
- cmos_do_shutdown() ... currently a "just in case" change.
- cmos_suspend() and cmos_resume() ... also handling a bug that
was specific to HPET's IRQ thievery, where the alarm wasn't
disabled after waking the system
* Always call that HPET code under the RTC spinlock (it doesn't do
its own locking)
Also clean up the HPET glue:
* Add some comments explaining what's going on.
* Switch to having just one #ifdef for the HPET glue, and inline
functions (not #defines) to avoid some compiler warnings.
* Have the probe message also report when HPET IRQs are involved
This still leaves various holes in the HPET glue, like the emulated update
IRQs being out of sync with the RTC, alarms never using day or month
matches, and many extra IRQs (at 64 Hz).

Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework.
Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used. That's the same lock that already
protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported
rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ... making this a bugfix, not
just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ
enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule
do not provide on their own).
A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes
current locking rules. It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed
there should exist ... if not, those are pre-existing problems which can
be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.

Currently, 'modalias' in the spi_device structure is a 'const char *'.
The spi_new_device() function fills in the modalias value from a passed in
spi_board_info data block. Since it is a pointer copy, the new spi_device
remains dependent on the spi_board_info structure after the new spi_device
is registered (no other fields in spi_device directly depend on the
spi_board_info structure; all of the other data is copied).
This causes a problem when dynamically propulating the list of attached
SPI devices. For example, in arch/powerpc, the list of SPI devices can be
populated from data in the device tree. With the current code, the device
tree adapter must kmalloc() a new spi_board_info structure for each new
SPI device it finds in the device tree, and there is no simple mechanism
in place for keeping track of these allocations.
This patch changes modalias from a 'const char *' to a fixed char array.
By copying the modalias string instead of referencing it, the dependency
on the spi_board_info structure is eliminated and an outside caller does
not need to maintain a separate spi_board_info allocation for each device.
If searched through the code to the best of my ability for any references
to modalias which may be affected by this change and haven't found
anything. It has been tested with the lite5200b platform in arch/powerpc.
