[PATCH] zd1211rw: Defer firmware load until first ifup
While playing with the firmware a while back, I discovered a way to
access the device's entire address space before the firmware has been
loaded.
Previously we were loading the firmware early on (during probe) so that
we could read the MAC address from the EEPROM and register a netdevice.
Now that we can read the EEPROM without having firmware, we can defer
firmware loading until later while still reading the MAC address early
on.
This has the advantage that zd1211rw can now be built into the kernel --
previously if this was the case, zd1211rw would be loaded before the
filesystem is available and firmware loading would fail.
Firmware load and other device initialization operations now happen the
first time the interface is brought up.
Some architectural changes were needed: handling of the is_zd1211b flag
was moved into the zd_usb structure, MAC address handling was obviously
changed, and a preinit_hw stage was added (the order is now: init,
preinit_hw, init_hw).

Recent versions of the vendor driver don't even look at the regdomain

[PATCH] airo: fix a race causing initialization failures
Matteo Croce reported Aironet initialization failures. They were caused by
a race in airo. airo finds a free interface name, then initializes the card
and finally registers the interface. Another device may get the same name
in the meantime.
The reason airo gets its name early is to use it in informative printks and
to name the resources it requests. The printks will be just fine without
the interface name and the resources can use the driver's name - that's
what other network drivers do anyway.
One of the talkative functions is setup_card(). It is called once before
registration and can be called later again. Let's have an empty dev->name
during the first call, so it doesn't print the ugly "airo(eth%d)" message.

ide: add short cables support
This patch allows users to override both host and device side cable detection
with "ideX=ata66" kernel parameter. Thanks to this it should be now possible
to use UDMA > 2 modes on systems (laptops mainly) which use short 40-pin cable
instead of 80-pin one.
Next patches add automatic detection of some systems using short cables.
Changes:
* Rename hwif->udma_four to hwif->cbl and make it u8.
* Convert all existing users accordingly (use ATA_CBL_* defines while at it).
* Add ATA_CBL_PATA40_SHORT support to ide-iops.c:eighty_ninty_three().

Switch the driver to always program DMA/PIO timings and set device transfer
mode instead of trusting BIOS on CSB6 controllers (libata pata_serverworks.c
driver is also doing things this way and there were no problems reported so
far). While doing conversion I noticed that the old code had many issues:
* the code was assuming that hwif->dma_status is always valid
(which obviously isn't true if hwif->dma_base == NULL)
* value of "(ultra_timing >> (4*unit)) & ~(0xF0)" expression wasn't checked
to fit into udma_modes[5]
* code validating DMA timings didn't validate corresponding PIO timings
* extra CSB5 PIO register wasn't validated et all
* hwif->ide_dma_off_quietly() is always called before ide_set_dma() (which in
turn calls hwif->speedproc() method - svwks_tune_chipset() in this case)
so the code depending on DMA capable bit of DMA status to be set was never
executed (=> the code was never validating DMA timings despite actually
enabling DMA if the PIO timings were OK!)
* on resume driver dependend entirely on BIOS to restore timings and set
transfer mode on the device

sched: cfs core code
apply the CFS core code.
this change switches over the scheduler core to CFS's modular
design and makes use of kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c to implement
Linux's scheduling policies.
thanks to Andrew Morton and Thomas Gleixner for lots of detailed review
feedback and for fixlets.

sched: remove the sleep-bonus interactivity code
remove the sleep-bonus interactivity code from the core scheduler.
scheduling policy is implemented in the policy modules, and CFS does
not need such type of heuristics.

sched: remove expired_starving()
remove the expired_starving() heuristics from the core scheduler.
CFS does not need it, and this did not really work well in practice
anyway, due to the rq->nr_running multiplier to STARVATION_LIMIT.
