Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
just the core (not counting the various drivers).

Right now we do it at queueing time, which works alright for reads
(since they are usually sync), but not for async writes since we can
queue io a lot faster than we can complete it. This makes the vmstat
output look extremely bursty.

This adds the magic IO wakeup code for the CardBus version of the
Creative Labs Audigy 2 to the snd-emu10k1 driver.
Without the magic IO enable sequence, reading from the IO region of the
card will fail spectacularly, and the machine will hang.
My next task will be getting the driver to actually play sound without
distortion.

[ This is a work-in-progress, but since it avoids a total lockup
if the emu10k module is loaded on a machine with the cardbus
card inserted, we're better off with it than without it, even
if sound quality is bad right now ]

When the inode count is zero in inode writeback, the
WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE));
is broken, and needs to test for either I_WILL_FREE|I_FREEING.
When the inode is in I_FREEING state, it's already out of the visibility
of the vm so it can't be freed so it doesn't require the __iget and the
generic_delete_inode path can call the sync internally to the lowlevel
fs callback during the last iput. So the inode being in I_FREEING is
also a valid condition for calling the sync with i_count == 0.

Tejun Heo notes:
"I'm currently debugging this. The problem is that we are using the
generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
to merge requests. I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
with results soon."
In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().
Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers. Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

A lot of power packed into a little patch.
This change eliminates the sharing between our controller-wide spinlock
and the SCSI core's Scsi_Host lock. As the locking in libata was
already highly compartmentalized, always referencing our own lock, and
never scsi_host::host_lock.
As a side effect, this change eliminates a deadlock from calling
scsi_finish_command() while inside our spinlock.
Integrate ata_exec() and ata_tf_to_host() into their only caller,
ata_bus_edd().
Rename ata_tf_to_host_nolock() to ata_tf_to_host().
This makes locking a bit easier to review, and may help pave the way for
future changes.
We had a static memory_limit in prom.c, and then another one defined
in setup_64.c and used in numa.c, which resulted in the kernel crashing
when mem=xxx was given on the command line. This puts the declaration
in system.h and the definition in mem.c. This also moves the
definition of tce_alloc_start/end out of setup_64.c.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

Make sure that the RTC timer is in non-periodic mode; some stupid BIOS might
have initialized it to periodic mode.
Furthermore, don't set the SETVAL bit in the config register. This wouldn't
have any effect unless the timer was in period mode (which it isn't), and then
the actual timer frequency would be half that of the desired one because
incrementing the comparator in the interrupt handler would be done after the
hardware has already incremented it itself.
