638772c755 fb: add support of LCD display controller on pxa168/910 (base layer)
This driver is originally written by Lennert, modified by Green to be
feature complete,  and ported by Jun Nie and Kevin Liu for pxa168/910
processors.

The patch adds support for the on-chip LCD display controller, it
currently supports the base (graphics) layer only.

7e85ee0c1d slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early boot
As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:

  Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
  a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
  grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
  even then you'll be missing some.

  For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
  early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
  mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
  using that to do the test.

Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

cd667ce247 HID: use debugfs for events/reports dumping
This is a followup patch to the one implemeting rdesc representation in debugfs
rather than being dependent on compile-time CONFIG_HID_DEBUG setting.

The API of the appropriate formatting functions is slightly modified -- if
they are passed seq_file pointer, the one-shot output for 'rdesc' file mode
is used, and therefore the message is formatted into the corresponding seq_file
immediately.

Otherwise the called function allocated a new buffer, formats the text into the
buffer and returns the pointer to it, so that it can be queued into the ring-buffer
of the processess blocked waiting on input on 'events' file in debugfs.

'debug' parameter to the 'hid' module is now used solely for the prupose of inetrnal
driver state debugging (parser, transport, etc).

a635f9dd83 HID: use debugfs for report dumping descriptor
It is a little bit inconvenient for people who have some non-standard
HID hardware (usually violating the HID specification) to have to
recompile kernel with CONFIG_HID_DEBUG to be able to see kernel's perspective
of the HID report descriptor and observe the parsed events. Plus the messages
are then mixed up inconveniently with the rest of the dmesg stuff.

This patch implements /sys/kernel/debug/hid/<device>/rdesc file, which
represents the kernel's view of report descriptor (both the raw report
descriptor data and parsed contents).

With all the device-specific debug data being available through debugfs, there
is no need for keeping CONFIG_HID_DEBUG, as the 'debug' parameter to the
hid module will now only output only driver-specific debugging options, which has
absolutely minimal memory footprint, just a few error messages and one global
flag (hid_debug).

We use the current set of output formatting functions. The ones that need to be
used both for one-shot rdesc seq_file and also for continuous flow of data
(individual reports, as being sent by the device) distinguish according to the
passed seq_file parameter, and if it is NULL, it still output to kernel ringbuffer,
otherwise the corresponding seq_file is used for output.

The format of the output is preserved.

d1f0132e76 lguest: add support for indirect ring entries
Support the VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC feature.

This is a simple matter of changing the descriptor walking
code to operate on a struct vring_desc* and supplying it
with an indirect table if detected.

b60da13fc7 lguest: suppress notifications in example Launcher
The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going
to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know.

So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check,
then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn
notifications off again.

There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

4a8962e21b lguest: try to batch interrupts on network receive
Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an
interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue
is full).

However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is
measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host
TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds.  It's close to the noise though.

I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of
pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest ->
Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate).
