151798f872 ASoC: sgtl5000: fix cache handling
Cache handling in this driver is broken. The chip has 16-bit registers, yet the
register numbers also increase by 2 per register, i.e.  there are only
even-numbered registers. The cache in this driver, though, simply increments
register numbers, so it does need some mapping as seen in
sgtl5000_restore_regs(), note the '>> 1':

	snd_soc_write(codec, SGTL5000_CHIP_LINREG_CTRL,
                        cache[SGTL5000_CHIP_LINREG_CTRL >> 1]);

That, of course, won't work with snd_soc_update_bits(). (Thus, we won't even
notice the missing register 0x1c in the default regs which shifted all follwing
registers to wrong values.) Noticed on the MX28EVK where enabling the regulators
simply locked up the chip.

Refactor the routines and use a properly sized default_regs array which matches
the register layout of the underlying chip, i.e. create a truly flat cache.
This also saves some code which should make up for the bigger array a little.
When soc-core will somewhen have another cache type which handles a step size,
this conversion will also ease the transition.

31f5396ad3 thermal: make THERMAL_HWMON implementation fully internal
THERMAL_HWMON is implemented inside the thermal_sys driver and has no
effect on drivers implementing thermal zones, so they shouldn't see
anything related to it in <linux/thermal.h>.  Making the THERMAL_HWMON
implementation fully internal has two advantages beyond the cleaner
design:

* This avoids rebuilding all thermal drivers if the THERMAL_HWMON
  implementation changes, or if CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON gets enabled or
  disabled.

* This avoids breaking the thermal kABI in these cases too, which should
  make distributions happy.

The only drawback I can see is slightly higher memory fragmentation, as
the number of kzalloc() calls will increase by one per thermal zone.  But
I doubt it will be a problem in practice, as I've never seen a system with
more than two thermal zones.

ed8b752bcc dm table: set flush capability based on underlying devices
DM has always advertised both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA flush capabilities
regardless of whether or not a given DM device's underlying devices
also advertised a need for them.

Block's flush-merge changes from 2.6.39 have proven to be more costly
for DM devices.  Performance regressions have been reported even when
DM's underlying devices do not advertise that they have a write cache.

Fix the performance regressions by configuring a DM device's flushing
capabilities based on those of the underlying devices' capabilities.

b12d437b73 dm raid: support metadata devices
Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid.  Although
not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of
RAID are unavailable.  They are used to store a superblock and bitmap.

The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock.  This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks.  RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded.  It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed.  Fault handling is impossible
without this field.  For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock.  If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed.  This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field
variable 'failed_devices'.

a6e50b409d dm snapshot: skip reading origin when overwriting complete chunk
If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device
because the whole chunk will be overwritten anyway.

This patch changes the snapshot write logic when a full chunk is written.
In this case:
  1. allocate the exception
  2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper)
  3. write the exception record
  4. report bio completed

Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not
race with each other.  So we create two new functions:

  dm_kcopyd_prepare_callback: allocate a job structure and prepare the callback.
  (This function must not be called from interrupt context.)

  dm_kcopyd_do_callback: submit callback.
  (This function may be called from interrupt context.)

Performance test (on snapshots with 4k chunk size):
  without the patch:
    non-direct-io sequential write (dd):    17.7MB/s
    direct-io sequential write (dd):        20.9MB/s

d5b9dd04bd dm: ignore merge_bvec for snapshots when safe
Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate
whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge
function returns.  When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots
which can split them if necessary.  Snapshot I/O may be significantly
fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance.

Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size
if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't
provide a merge function.  After the patch, dm_set_device_limits
restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge
function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't
provide a merge function.

The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge
function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be
remapped.  Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can
now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge
function.  Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes,
it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the
filesystem on snapshot store.

If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function
(such as md-raid), device mapper still limits all bios to page size.

There is no need for __table_get_device to be factored out.
Also move the exports to the end of their respective functions.
