Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
locking violations, etc.
The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
"has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.
Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

The loop used to reset the interrupt masks has faulty logic. There are 4
banks of 8 I/O, however each mask is comprised of 2 bits and thus there are
8 sets of registers to clear. Driver was wrongly equating this with 8 banks
leading to a us writing past the end of the "bank" array (used to store mask
configuration as these registers are write only) and thus causing memory
corruption. Clear both registers of masks for each bank and half iterations.

Previously, the device-driver matching mechanism depended on the
vme_device_id structure due to the need for a bind table per driver.
This method of matching is no longer used so this patch merges the
fields of struct vme_device_id into struct vme_dev. Since this also
renders the slot field meaningless, it has also been removed in this
patch.

For jumper based boards (non VME64x), there is no mechanism
for detecting the card that is plugged into a specific slot. This
leads to issues in non-autodiscovery crates/cards when a card is
plugged into a slot that is "claimed" by a different driver. In
reality, there is no problem, but the driver rejects such a
configuration due to its dependence on the concept of slots.
This patch makes the concept of slots less critical and pushes the
driver match() to individual drivers (similar to what happens in the
ISA bus in driver/base/isa.c). This allows drivers to register the
number of devices that they expect without any restrictions. Devices
in this new model are now formatted as $driver_name-$bus_id.$device_id
(as compared to the earlier vme-$bus_id.$slot_number).
This model also makes the device model more logical as devices
are only registered when they actually exist whereas earlier,
a set of devices were being created automatically regardless of
them actually being there.
Another change introduced in this patch is that devices are now created
within the VME driver structure rather than in the VME bridge structure.
This way, things don't go haywire if the bridge driver is removed while
a driver is using it.

Instead of using a vanilla 'struct device' for VME devices, add new
'struct vme_dev'. Modifications have been made to the VME framework
API as well as all in-tree VME drivers.
The new vme_dev structure has the following advantages from the
current model used by the driver:
* Driver functions (probe, remove) now receive a VME device
instead of a pointer to the bridge device (cleaner design)
* It's easier to differenciate API calls as bridge-based or
device-based (ie. cleaner interface).
