x86: restore correct module name for apm
The apm module were renamed to apm_32 during the merge of 32 and 64 bit
x86 which is unfortunate. As apm is 32 bit specific we like to keep the
_32 in the filename but the module should be named apm.
Fix this in the Makefile.

This patch exports the atags used for the current kernel to userspace

controlled by its own Kconfig option and cleans up several ifdef blocks
into a separate file. The tags for the new kernel are assumed to be at

On the at91sam9263, IRQs for GPIO banks C and D don't currently work.

the AT91 code setting up and handling GPIO IRQs expects no sharing.
This patch:
- Fixes GPIO IRQ setup and handling to cope with GPIO banks that are
shared like on sam9263 chips, by setting up a list of those banks
and making the IRQ dispatching logic scan that list.
- Precomputes the address of each bank's registers, saving it with
other per-bank data so that it no longer needs to be constantly
recomputed during IRQs and other GPIO operations. That shrinks
hot-path code, while helping the GPIO bank irq updates.
- Fixes a minor bug where IRQ_TYPE_NONE was wrongly rejected (it just
means "use the default", which is "both edges" here).

virtio: balloon driver
After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio
balloon can be made even simpler. Here's my attempt.
The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should
take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page
numbers it has taken via one virtqueue.
A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if
the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this
queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply
fault the pages back in).
This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a
shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of
in-guest regulators.

Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd" with 'a'++.
This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to

There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that

virtio: handle interrupts after callbacks turned off
Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net
driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row. This is because
virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it
contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send
interrupts.
But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb
actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt
routine.
Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since
disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be
some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is
called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never
run simultanously on multiple CPUs).

and we then only got half of the definitions
from the copied .h file.
Add an explicit dependency from the .c files to the
generated .h files so make knows all dependencies and
finsih the build of the .h files before it starts
building the .o files.
Ingo tested this fix and reported:
good news: hundreds of successful kernel builds and no failures
overnight.

Documentation: mention email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches
I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs
This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).
This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.
