parisc builds parisc / parisc64 from arch/parisc, but wants different
strings for uname -m, which it can now provide by overwriting
UTS_MACHINE in arch/parisc/Makefile.

(Matthew Wilcox)

o  Add sense_len to request, so scsi_ioctl knows how much sense data
   was transferred.

o Add sg_timeout and sg_reserved to queue, we can't have these global...

o And finally kill QUEUE_NR_REQUESTS, it hasn't been used in a while.

Various small bits that make SCSI work well with REQ_BLOCK_PC.

o Use ->errors as the scsi status byte for REQ_BLOCK_PC

o Always call end_io completion, even if 0 sectors, as long as the
  status is good. Otherwise we risk hanging this device if a
  REQ_BLOCK_PC user command didn't specify a transfer size for a command
  that did.

o Remove bouncing checks in scsi_merge for REQ_BLOCK_PC, bio_map_user()
  correctly bounces pages now.

o Decrement req->data_len, it's our residual data count.

o sr/sd: set right transfer and underflow size.

This adds bio_map_user and bio_unmap_user to aid drivers in mapping user
space memory into a bio suitable for block io.

Sometimes we don't even need a bio->bi_end_io, so make it optional. This
also encourages users to _use_ bio_endio()! I like that, since it means
they don't have to remember to decrement bi_size themselves.

Also clear bi_private in bio_init(), and switch to subsys_initcall().

Make merge_bvec_fn() return number of bytes we can accept at a given
offset, instead of a bool.

o Remove some ide compile warnings, old suspend stuff is not used at
  all, for instance.

o If elv_next_request() returns NULL, remember to clear hwgroup->busy
  if we don't have pending commands. This is important. If a queue
  prep function kills a request, we would before quit with hwgroup busy.
  This essentially froze the hwgroup.

o Don't do own list manipulation in ide_do_drive_cmd(). Use the new and
  great elv_add_request() functions

o Fix race on inspection of request after io completion by bumping the
  request reference count prior to ioscheduler insertion.

o Make ide-floppy understand a REQ_BLOCK_PC eject. More may follow, it's
  ATAPI after all.

o Clear hw before passing to ide_init_hwif_ports(). Fixes oops on
  non-pci controllers.

This adds an end_that_request_chunk() helper, that puts the core
functionality in __end_that_request_first().  This one deals in bytes.
end_that_request_first() does the 512 multiply, and then
end_that_request_chunk() can just use it directly.

This enables ide-cd to do proper dma in sizes that are not sector
aligned.  Some of the most important CD functions (ripping audio dma,
burning audio cds, burning raw cds) _require_ this or we will be in pio.
That stinks.  We simply cannot use pio for these, not on writers much
that are fast!

o Always use list_del_init() on request queuelist, this allows us to
  sanity check the integrity of the request on insertion and removal.
  So we can complain loudly instead of silently corrupting memory.

o Add references to requests. This is cheap, since we dont have to use
  an atomic variable for it (all puts are inside queue lock). We've had
  a bug in IDE for years where we want to inspect request state after
  io completion, but this is not possible to do race free right now.
  REQ_BLOCK_PC and sgio will need this too, for checking io residual
  etc. This is not just a theoretical race, I've seen it happen.

Cleanup the last_merge logic. There are two reasons for clearing
last_merge when we are dealing with integrity, and these are:

o Clear when handing the request to the driver, so we don't merge on
  a started request.

o Clear when a request is taken off the list. This cannot be done from
  the driver (above case would already have been hit), but it can
  happen
  when we merge two requests.

This makes it a lot nicer, it was always peculiar how we cleared in
put_request.

Make it possible for a device to specify the dma alignment restrictions
it has. This will be used by future infrastructure when mapping in user
pages, and allows us to dma to on ATAPI even though user address and
length is not sector size aligned.

Extend q->prep_rq_fn() to return one of three values:

 o BLKPREP_OK: request is good, return it
 o BLKPREP_KILL: request is bad, end it completely
 o BLKPREP_DEFER: request is good, but we can't take it now

We maintain compatability with old prep functions (if any, outside of
ide-cd). This change is needed or SCSI to use prep function for command
init, if sg table allocation fails we can just defer the request.

Add some missing bits, and make it generally a bit more useful outside
of REQ_PC requests.

Request insertion in the current tree is a mess. We have all sorts of
variants of *elv_add_request*, and it's not at all clear who does what
and with what locks (or not). This patch cleans it up to be:

o __elv_add_request(queue, request, at_end, plug)
      Core function, requires queue lock to be held

o elv_add_request(queue, request, at_end, plug)
      Like __elv_add_request(), but grabs queue lock

o __elv_add_request_pos(queue, request, position)
      Insert request at a given location, lock must be held

We must return -EIO if the command fails (the 5/20/00 sense check is
just helping return more sane info), not -EINVAL. Getting -EINVAL return
on an ioctl if a command fails is less than helpful for applications...

o Split blk_queue_bounce() into a slow and fast path. The fast path is
  inlined, only if we actually need to check the bio for possible
  bounces (and bounce) do we enter __blk_queue_bounce() slow path.

o Fix a nasty bug that could cause corruption for file systems not
  using PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blok size! We were not correctly setting the
  'to' bv_offset correctly.

o Add BIO_BOUNCE flag. Later patches will use this for debug checking.

Make deadline_merge() prefetch the next entry on the list.

wake_up_interruptible() and _sync() calls are reversed in pipe_read().

The attached patches only calls _sync if a schedule() call follows.

It is used by arch specific Makefiles

Replaced by the more readable $(Q)$(MAKE) construct

Most definitions required were present in Makefile.lib, so delete the
definitions and include Makefile.lib.

Moved generic definitions to Makefile.lib,
This allows us to share all generic definitions between the different Makefiles.
Performance impact has been measured to less than 1%

in struct pci_dev.

gentbl is a program that generates some header files. The recent kbuild
changes have the "interesting" effect that this now outputs the header
files to the root directory of the kernel tree instead of
drivers/net/hamradio/soundmodem ...

The following patch fixes this breakage:

o Deleted subdir-n and subdir- handling in Makefile.build
o Deleted all host-progs related stuff in Makfile.modver
o In Makefile.modver also deleted everything related to composite objects
o Fixed an error when deleting a .ver file + .hdepend and then do make
  - filter-out in Makefile.modver was faulty

Traditionally, the individual components of a multipart module are
listed in <mod>-objs. Allow for using <mod>-y as well, as that turns
out to simplify declaring optional parts of multi-part modules, see
the converted examples in net/*/Makefile.

This change is backwards-compatible, i.e. not converted Makefiles
still work just fine.
