28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

dfcba20067 backlight: Remove unneeded owner field
Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure.

Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The
backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references
unloaded code.

Based on a patch from Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@insightbb.com>

156c221b72 sony-laptop: allow complex per-value input/output validation
Replace sony_acpi_value.{min,max} with a callback function that allows
more complex reasoning in accepting input and presenting output.

This allows consistency between the sony-laptop specific 'brightness_default'

6412d92731 tifm_7xx1: Merge media insert and media remove functions
Hardware does not say whether card was inserted or removed when reporting
socket events. Moreover, during suspend, media can be removed or switched
to some other card type without notification. Therefore, for each socket
in the change set the following is performed:
1. If there's active device in the socket it's unregistered
2. Media detection is performed
3. If detection recognizes supportable media, new device is registered

This patch also alters some macros and variable names to enhance clarity.

8e02f8581c tifm_sd: restructure initialization, removal and command handling
In order to support correct suspend and resume several changes were needed:
1. Switch from work_struct to tasklet for command handling. When device
suspend is called workqueues are already frozen and can not be used.
2. Separate host initialization code from driver's probe and don't rely
on interrupts for host initialization. This, in turn, addresses two
problems:
 a) Resume needs to re-initialize the host, but can not assume that
    device interrupts were already re-armed.
 b) Previously, probe will return successfully before really knowing
    the state of the host, as host interrupts were not armed in time.
    Now it uses polling to determine the real host state before returning.
3. Separate termination code from driver's remove. Termination may be caused
by resume, if media changed type or became unavailable during suspend.

59f148005c [PATCH] ioc4: Enable build on non-SN2
The SGI PCI-RT card, based on the SGI IOC4 chip, will be made available on
Altix XE (x86_64) platforms in the near future.  As such it is now a
misnomer for the IOC4 base device driver to live under drivers/sn, and
would complicate builds for non-SN2.

This patch moves the IOC4 base driver code from drivers/sn to drivers/misc,
and updates the associated Makefiles and Kconfig files to allow building on
non-SN2 configs.  Due to the resulting change in link order, it is now
necessary to use late_initcall() for IOC4 subdriver initialization.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.
