After the previous patch to disable the kernel IPMI daemon if interrupts
were available, the issue of broken hardware was raised, and a reasonable
request to add an override was mode. So here it is.
Allow the user to force the kernel ipmi daemon on or off. This way,
hardware with broken interrupts or users that are not concerned with
performance can turn it on or off to their liking.

There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).
This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with
/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid
[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]
It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid
is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console
semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of
which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful
because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily
dropped.
Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs.
Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of
introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to
signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the
struct pid * pointer instead.
Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except
for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should
kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken
anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong
signal.

This is such a rare path it took me a while to figure out how to test
this after soring out the locking.
This patch does several things.
- The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h
- A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values.
- Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against
pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.

asm/serial.h is supposed to contain the definitions for the architecture
specific 8250 ports for the 8250 driver. It may also define BASE_BAUD,
but this is the base baud for the architecture specific ports _only_.
Therefore, nothing other than the 8250 driver should be including this
header file. In order to move towards this goal, here is a patch which
removes some of the more obvious incorrect includes of the file.

This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces. Christoph
Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups.
In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use
do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us
to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines.
Final available interfaces:
generic_file_aio_read() - read handler
generic_file_aio_write() - write handler
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler
__generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine
