The ATAG_BOARDINFO is intended to hand over the information
bd->bi_board_number from u-boot to the kernel.
This piece of information can be used to implement some kind of board
identification while booting the kernel. Therefore it is placed in .initdata
section and can be accessed via the new symbol board_number only while
initializing the kernel.

platform_get_irq returns -ENXIO on failure, so !int_irq was probably
always true. Better use (int)int_irq <= 0. Note that a return value of
zero is still handled as error even though this could mean irq0.
This is a followup to 305b3228f9 that
changed the return value of platform_get_irq from 0 to -ENXIO on error.

We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored
signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case.
force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL
and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate
the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info()
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die).
Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded
case, as Oleg Nesterov explains,
"is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be
multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace
inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking
closer I think you can simply remove this code."
It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit
623b0355d5 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code"
but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit
a0592d42fe "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()"
So catch up with powerpc and delete the bogus code.

minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by
other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different
on each architecture like below:
m68k:
big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps
h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode
Others:
little-endian bitmaps
In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture
independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use
native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu,
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian
bitmaps do not select these options.
Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all
architectures.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.
