f0edef8c8b xsysace: Fix dereferencing of cf_id after hd_driveid removal
Commit 4aaf2fec71 (xsysace: make it
'struct hd_driveid'-free) converted the cf_id member of 'struct
ace_device' from a 'struct hd_driveid' to a u16 array.  However,
references to the base of the structure were still using the '&'
operator.  When the address was used with the ata_id_u32() macro, the
compiler used the size of the entire array instead of sizeof(u16) to
calculate the offset from the base address.

This patch removes the use of the '&' operator from all references of
cf_id to fix the bug and remove future confusion.

3153c26b54 ide: refactor tf_read() method
Simplify tf_read() method, making it deal only with 'struct ide_taskfile' and
the validity flags that the upper layer passes, and factoring out the code that
deals with the high order bytes into ide_tf_readback() to be called from the
only two functions interested, ide_complete_cmd() and ide_dump_sector().

This should stop the needless code duplication in this method and so make
it about twice smaller than it was; along with simplifying the setup for
the method call, this should save both time and space...

d18812070e ide: falconide/q40ide - Use __ide_mm_{in,out}sw() for data
Both of commits f94116aeec ("ide: cleanup
<asm-m68k/ide.h>") and 15a453a955 ("ide: include
<asm/ide.h> only when needed") break falconide:

| Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver
| ide: Falcon IDE controller
| Probing IDE interface ide0...
| hda: Sarge m68k, ATA DISK drive
| ide0 at 0xfff00000 on irq 15 (serialized)
| ide-gd driver 1.18
| hda: max request size: 128KiB
| hda: 2118816 sectors (1084 MB) w/256KiB Cache, CHS=2102/16/63
|  hda:<4>hda: lost interrupt

This happens because falconide relies on {in,out}sw() being redefined in
<asm/ide.h>, as included by <linux/ide.h>, which is no longer the case.
Use __ide_mm_{in,out}sw() from <asm/ide.h> instead, just like
ide_{in,out}put_data() do.

The same problem seems to exist in q40ide.

aa07573b2b ide: Fix host drivers that need IRQF_SHARED
commit 255115fb35 ("ide: allow host drivers to
specify IRQ flags") added irq_flags fields to struct ide_port_info and struct
ide_host.  Drivers can now set ide_port_info.irq_flags = IRQF_SHARED, while
init_irq() passes ide_host.irq_flags to request_irq().

Unfortunately ide_host.irq_flags is never set, causing (on ARAnyM):

| Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver
| ide: Falcon IDE controller
| Probing IDE interface ide0...
| hda: Sarge m68k, ATA DISK drive
| init_irq: sa = 0
| ide0: disabled, unable to get IRQ 15
| ide0: failed to initialize IDE interface
| ide0: disabling port

Solve this by copying ide_port_info.irq_flags to ide_host.irq_flags in
ide_host_alloc().

This bug probably affects the following IDE host drivers:
  - buddha
  - delkin_cb
  - falconide
  - gayle
  - ide-cs
  - macide
  - q40ide
  - scc_pata
  - sgiioc4

db954b5898 x86 ACPI: Add support for Always Running APIC timer
Add support for Always Running APIC timer, CPUID_0x6_EAX_Bit2.
This bit means the APIC timer continues to run even when CPU is
in deep C-states.

The advantage is that we can use LAPIC timer on these CPUs
always, and there is no need for "slow to read and program"
external timers (HPET/PIT) and the timer broadcast logic
and related code in C-state entry and exit.
