make device_remove_file take a struct device_attribute *, instead of just a char * (for consistency with device_create_file)

It may seem gratuitous, but it's what we really want. driverfs files are meant to expose attributes of various kernel objects, so in that sense, the change adds more accurate meaning to the object. Plus, we will soon gain the ability to expose attributes of drivers (both device and bus) themselves, and we want to be able to have each mean something reasonable. This changes driverfs and the device model core (but none of the other users)

symlinks now only use the name field of the struct driver_file_entry, so instead of allocating a new one each time we want to create one, this changes the API to only accept the name (since the driverfs core will never use the other fields either) This also guarantees that we won't leak the memory for the entry when the device goes away: Since the other entries aren't dynamically allocated, and driverfs doesn't free them, we would have to free them ourselves. It's not really necessary, so this is another win for us.

Now that all unique information about struct driver_file_entry's are gone (the dentry and parent pointers), the data in them is shared among all users of the entry. So, we don't have any reason to dynamically allocate and duplicate the data anymore.

copy_process() just copies the process, it doesn't actually start it. This is in preparation for doing a "atomically start process on CPU X" or other cases where we want to change the state of the process before we actually start running it.

- Include first cut by Adam J. Richter on proper lock protection for tuning functions. - Rename ide_register_subdriver() to ata_register_device() and ide_unregister_subdriver() accordingly to ata_unregister_device(), since this is reflecting better what those functions are about. - Remove tons of "curicum vite" style useless documentation here and there.

- typedef unsigned char byte; is finally gone. Everything using it should be just ported to u8 if I missed some place where it still gets used. - Next round of parameter parsing cleanups by Gerald Champagne. Adjusted a bit to harmonize with hd.c. - Move IDE register bitfields declarations over from hdparm.h to ide.h. - Declare constants needed by hd.c directly there. Those are standard values not subject to change and we prefer a bit of code duplication in favour of making the two drivers independant from each other. - Move everything not ioctl related away from hdreg.h to ide.h. This header is in effect not private to the ATA code and should therefore not contain stuff only usefull there.

The CS5530 one seems unneeded looking at the databook. Try the patch below instead, which removes the irq lock and uses the proper kernel functions to enable MWI and master.

This "warning fix" bug report is actually an OOPS bugfix.

Matthew Wilcox authored
locks_unlock_delete is buggy in a couple of different ways (previously reported by Brian Dixon). Rather than fix it, this patch simply deletes it and uses the normal posix file locking mechanisms to remove all locks in locks_remove_posix instead.

An acct flag was added to do_munmap, true everywhere but in mremap's move_vma: instead of updating the arch and driver sources, revert that that change and temporarily mask VM_ACCOUNT around that one do_munmap. Also, noticed that do_mremap fails needlessly if both shrinking _and_ moving a mapping: update old_len to pass vm area boundaries test.

If we support mmap MAP_NORESERVE, we should support it on shared anonymous objects: too bad that needs a few changes. do_mmap_pgoff pass VM_ACCOUNT (or not) down to shmem_file_setup, flag stored into shmem info, for use by shmem_delete_inode later. Also removed a harmless but pointless call to shmem_truncate.
