Disable SCSI's clustering of S/G entries, typically reducing overall
S/G list size.  Although ATA S/G tables are getting smarter (64-bit
address, 32-bit length, no DMA boundary besides 4G itself), working
harder to generate large byte sizes for each S/G size is not necessarily
in our best interest:

* SATA consists of frames, much like ethernet, called "FIS".  A
  Data FIS consists of up to 2048 dwords (8K) of data.  We don't want
  generate large byte sizes in S/G entries, just to have the host controller
  break them up again into smaller chunks.
* Reduces the possibility that ata_fill_sg (libata-core.c) must split
  an S/G into two pieces, because it straddles a 64K boundary.
* Reduces the possibility that FIS-related errata workarounds
  must be enabled.  One such exists in the Silicon Image driver (sata_sil),
  which is currently worked around by limiting the max-sectors-per-request
  to 15.

into redhat.com:/spare/repo/libata-2.5

The original submittor of the quirk code noted that the errata
of a lockup creating when the condition "sector % 15 == 1" is
true only on chip revisions <= 1.  This is limitation on chip
revision is apparently not correct, therefore we apply to all
affected drives in the quirk list.

This is a sledgehammer fix, limiting max-sectors to 15.  A much better
fix would split the hardware request into two taskfiles, issuing
an additional command, thereby avoiding "sectors % 15 == 1"

Given the errata is limited to "sil 311x + <these drives>", it is hoped
that some janitor cares enough to do a real fix.

The very early memory detection patch broke voyager.

This fixes it again.

Fix a bug which was spotted by Alex Lyashkov <shadow@psoft.net>

The fairly unobvious coding in __kill_pg_info() will cause a zero value to be
incorrectly returned if the second or succeeding call to
group_send_sig_info() returns an error.

This patch is needed on s390.

From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

pci_dev.consistent_dma_mask was introduced to get around problems in the
IA64 Altix machine.

Now, we have a use for it in x86: the aacraid needs coherent memory in a
31 bit address range (2GB).  Unfortunately, x86 is converted to the dma
model, so it can't see the pci_dev by the time coherent memory is
allocated.

The solution to all of this is to move pci_dev.consistent_dma_mask to
dev.coherent_dma_mask and make x86 use it in the dma_alloc_coherent()
calls.

This should allow me to make the aacraid set the coherent mask instead
of using it's current dma_mask juggling.

We should drop module sem before calling mod->exit, for practical reasons:
too many module exit functions oops or hang, resulting in a permenantly held
module sem, which blocks all module ops including lsmod.

From: "David S. Miller" <davem@redhat.com>

Currently, for an existing DMA mapping, there is a way to transfer buffer
ownership back to the cpu, yet there is no way to give it back to the device
again explicitly.  The latter really is needed on platforms where the PCI
subsystem does not snoop the cpu caches, MIPS is one example.

Many drivers were expecting the existing DMA sync interface to handle both
directions, which was wrong.

Now, with this change, we have explicit interfaces for DMA syncing to/from
the device and the cpu.

This simply throws out the 53c700 driver's optimistic setting of the
best possible transport parameters and replaces it with DV
determination.  It also adds a missing report_bus_reset() callback and
finally does a delayed DV on device errors.
