These allow access to the internal configuration EEPROM on various

Driver model updates for the I2C core:
- Add new suspend(), resume(), and shutdown() methods. Use them in the
standard driver model style; document them.
- Minor doc updates to highlight zero-initialized fields in drivers, and
the driver model accessors for "clientdata".
If any i2c drivers were previously using the old suspend/resume calls
in "struct driver", they were getting warning messages ... and will
now no longer work. Other than that, this patch changes no behaviors;
and it lets I2C drivers use conventional PM and shutdown support.

When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold
overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space
to react to such events sooner.
The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the
machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between
all CPUs.
I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine
check polling code immediately to actually log any events
that might have caused the threshold interrupt.

It's premature to refer to them as '52xx'.
- Specify optional 'model' and 'revision' properties in the soc5200 node
- Specify reqiured 'cell-index' property to identify between multiple SOC
devices of the same type. (Useful for arbitrating shared register access)

These series of patches add UFS2 write-support. UFS2 - is default file system
for recent versions of FreeBSD.
The main differences from UFS1 from write support point of view
are:
1)Not all inodes are allocated during formatation of disk.
2)All meta-data(pointer to data blocks) are 64bit(in UFS1 they
are 32bit).
So patch series consist of
1)make possible mount UFS2 in read-write mode
2)code to write ufs2 inodes and code to initialize inodes chunks.
3)work with 64bit meta-data
I made simple testing like create/deleting/writing/reading/truncating, also I
ran fsx-linux and untar and build kernel on UFS1 and UFS2, after that FreeBSD
fsck do not find any errors in fs.
This patch makes possible to mount ufs2 "rw", and updates UFS2 documentation:

This defines a simple and minimalist programming interface for GPIO APIs:
- Documentation/gpio.txt ... describes things (read it)
- include/asm-arm/gpio.h ... defines the ARM hook, which just punts
to <asm/arch/gpio.h> for any implementation
- include/asm-generic/gpio.h ... implement "can sleep" variants as calling
the normal ones, for systems that don't handle i2c expanders.
The immediate need for such a cross-architecture API convention is to support
drivers that work the same on AT91 ARM and AVR32 AP7000 chips, which embed many
of the same controllers but have different CPUs. However, several other users
have been reported, including a driver for a hardware watchdog chip and some
handhelds.org multi-CPU button drivers.

This is an attempt of providing an interface for memory scrubbing control in
EDAC.
This patch modifies the EDAC Core to provide the Interface for memory
controller modules to implment.
The following things are still outstanding:
- K8 is the first implemenation,
The patch provide a method of configuring the K8 hardware memory scrubber
via the 'mcX' sysfs directory. There should be some fallback to a generic
scrubber implemented in software if the hardware does not support
scrubbing.
Or .. the scrubbing sysfs entry should not be visible at all.
- Only works with SDRAM, not cache,
The K8 can scrub cache and l2cache also - but I think this is not so
useful as the cache is busy all the time (one hopes).
One would also expect that cache scrubbing requires hardware support.
- Error Handling,
I would like that errors are returned to the user in "terms of file
system".
- Presentation,
I chose Bandwidth in Bytes/Second as a representation of the scrubbing
rate for the following reasons:
I like that the sysfs entries are sort-of textual, related to something
that makes sense instead of magical values that must be looked up.
"My People" wants "% main memory scrubbed per hour" others prefer "%
memory bandwidth used" as representation, "bandwith used" makes it easy to
calculate both versions in one-liner scripts.
If one later wants to scrub cache, the scaling becomes wierd for K8
changing from "blocks of 64 byte memory" to "blocks of 64 cache lines" to
"blocks of 64 bit". Using "bandwidth used" makes sense in all three cases,
(I.M.O. anyway ;-).
- Discovery,
There is no way to discover the possible settings and what they do
without reading the code and the documentation.
*I* do not know how to make that work in a practical way.
- Bugs(??),
other tools can set invalid values in the memory scrub control register,
those will read back as '-1', requiring the user to reset the scrub rate.
This is how *I* think it should be.
- Afflicting other areas of code,
I made changes to edac_mc.c and edac_mc.h which will show up globally -
this is not nice, it would be better that the memory scrubbing fuctionality
and interface could be entirely contained within the memory controller it
applies to.

Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something
that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added.
unplug isn't supported by this patch. The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.

Add retain_initrd option to control freeing of initrd memory after
extraction. By default, free memory as previously.
The first boot will need to hold a copy of the in memory fs for the second
boot. This image can be large (much larger than the kernel), hence we can
save time when the memory loader is slow. Also, it reduces the memory
footprint while extracting the first boot since you don't need another copy
of the fs.
