Controll this via the cpu_table flags since it's a requirement
in some CPU and host bridge combinations.

This fixes the CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO build on x86-64 (there were missing
.cfi_endprocs)

Also some minor cleanup in the exception stack handling.

There's an error in sys_swapon() that can cause slab corruption if you
pass in a bad specialfile pointer. getname() then returns
ERR_PTR(-EFAULT), but sys_swapon() doesn't clear name before calling
putname() on it (thus freeing 0xfffffff2, corrupting slab). An ltp test
case repeatedly crashed in later tests due to thus, irk.

This bug was discussed on linux-scsi a few weeks back, but it appears to
have slipped through the cracks. This fix was originally proposed by
Christoph Hellwig, but I am reposting it, since I have the hardware :-)

Anyway, the problem that this fixes is that megaraid doesn't set the
moduler owner for the host_template, this means that the module can be
removed, even when it is in use.

If the driver fails to load, we leave a 3c509 eisa directory
in sysfs.

No code changes, but lots of trivial whitespace cleaning, and
removal of a bogus set of 'defaults' at the bottom of the file.

Patch from Adrian Bunk

Patch from Bjorn Helgaas

ACPI and HCDP tell us what IRQ the serial port uses, so there's
no need to have the driver probe for the IRQ.

Adds a generic implementation of 32 bit emulation for IPC system calls.  The
code is based on the existing implementations for sparc64, ia64, mips, s390,
ppc and x86_64, which can subsequently be converted to use this.

This patch declares all possible functions static.

Based on the kobject structure, but much smaller and simpler to use.

Against Jon's cdev stuff

They are obsolted by the i2c-parport.c driver.

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.
