PCI IDE DMA standard (or "bmdma") helper routines ata_bmdma_stop,
ata_bmdma_ack_irq, and ata_bmdma_status are added to linux/libata.h,
and used in libata-core.

There is a minor behavior change, such that, the Alt Status register
is read before acknowledging the bmdma interrupt.  This should be ok,
and furthermore there will be more significant behavior changes
in this area coming soon.

Since we want the probe phase to call other workqueues, this is
required to eliminate future deadlocks.

Other methods would include starting a single-shot thread just for
probing, but overall, using a separate thread for probing is pointless
since we are already in process context when we probe.

So, we simply call ata_bus_probe directly.

The fast system-call fall-back-path has a race: it reads PSR, modifies
some bits, then writes back the new PSR.  Unfortunately, the contents
of PSR may change between reading and writing it.  For example, an
interrupt could occur which could trigger a context-switch.  The
context-switch might in turn flush the floating-point-high (FPH)
partition to memory, clear PSR.MFH, and set PSR.DFH.  To prevent this
race, the patch below turns off PSR.I before reading PSR.

This fixes a floating-point corruption problem that was observed on a
system with a libc which has the fast system-call support enabled.

The performance impact is minimal (on the order of a handful of cycles).

I waffled over this for ages.  On balance, I think it's best to mark those

And on reflection, I'm not sure why we go bringing ramdisk blockdev pages
uptodate all over the place anyway.  But ramdisk is weird and it passes
testing.  Let those dogs sleep.

A filesystem's ->writepage() implementation nowadays must run either
redirty_page_for_writepage() or the combination of set_page_writeback()/
end_page_writeback().  Failure to do so leaves the page itself marked clean
but it is tagged as dirty in the radix tree (PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY).  This
incoherency can lead to all sorts of hard-to-debug problems in the
filesystem like having dirty inodes at umount and losing written data.

The patch updates Documentation/filesystems/Locking to reflect this
requirement.

struct page_state is large (148 bytes) and we put them on the stack in awkward
