c78a628849 backlight: Add support for MacBook 5, MacBook Air 2, and MacBook Pro 5
This patch adds support for the new Apple models incorporating an Nvidia
chipset.  Apple still uses the same protocol as on older models, but the
registers moved to a different address. To do this, two sets of functions
are added for the Intel/Nvidia chipset models and passed by the DMI_MATCH
function.

The initial code has been contributed by Hu Gang <hugang@soulinfo.com>.

The driver is known to work on MacBook Pro 3, MacBook Pro 4 and MacBook
Pro 5.

Its known to work with limitations on MacBook 5 / MacBook Air 2. Changing
brightness within X doesn't work, if using Nvidia's proprietary graphics
driver with no known fix at present. Changing brightness on a text console
or using the open-source driver does work.

MacBook Pro 5 has a known bug where the initial brightness after bootup is
the last recently used brightness (in Mac OSX), while the firmware reports
maximum. Impossible to fix.

d379ee8acd leds: just ignore invalid GPIOs in leds-gpio
Sometimes it's awkward to make sure that the array in the
platform_data handed to the leds-gpio driver has only valid
data ... some leds may not be always available, and coping
with that currently requires patching or rebuilding the array.

This patch fixes that by making it be OK to pass an invalid
GPIO (such as "-EINVAL") ... such table entries are skipped.

b0edba7ef8 leds: move h1940-leds's probe function to .devinit.text
A pointer to h1940leds_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded.  Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

0b56129be7 leds: add BD2802GU LED driver
ROHM BD2802GU is a RGB LED controller attached to i2c bus and specifically
engineered for decoration purposes.  This RGB controller incorporates
lighting patterns and illuminates.

This driver is designed to minimize power consumption, so when there is no
emitting LED, it enters to reset state.  And because the BD2802GU has lots
of features that can't be covered by the current LED framework, it
provides Advanced Configuration Function(ADF) mode, so that user
applications can set registers of BD2802GU directly.

Here are basic usage examples :
; to turn on LED (not blink)
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/brightness
; to blink LED
$ echo timer > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/trigger
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/delay_on
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/delay_off
; to turn off LED
$ echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led1_R/brightness

17354bfe85 leds: Add gpio-led trigger
The gpio led trigger will allow leds to be triggered by
gpio events.

When we give the led a gpio number, the trigger will
request_irq() on that so we don't have to keep polling
for gpio state.

It's useful for usecases as n810's keypad leds that could
be triggered by the gpio event generated when user slides
up to show the keypad.

We also provide means for userland to tell us what is the
desired brightness for that special led when it goes on
so userland could use information from ambient light sensors
and not set led brightness too high if it's not necessary.

a7d878af94 leds: Add openfirmware platform device support
Add bindings to support LEDs defined as of_platform devices in addition to
the existing bindings for platform devices.

New options in Kconfig allow the platform binding code and/or the
of_platform code to be turned on.  The of_platform code is of course only
available on archs that have OF support.

The existing probe and remove methods are refactored to use new functions
create_gpio_led(), to create and register one led, and delete_gpio_led(),
to unregister and free one led.  The new probe and remove methods for the
of_platform driver can then share most of the common probe and remove code
with the platform driver.

The suspend and resume methods aren't shared, but they are very short.  The
actual led driving code is the same for LEDs created by either binding.

The OF bindings are based on patch by Anton Vorontsov
<avorontsov@ru.mvista.com>.  They have been extended to allow multiple LEDs
per device.

aeb6fafb8f block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IO
By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the
previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only
sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes
being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.

Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this
flag.

644b2d99b7 block: enabling plugging on SSD devices that don't do queuing
For the older SSD devices that don't do command queuing, we do want to
enable plugging to get better merging.

4194b1eaf1 jbd2: use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_SYNC
When you are going to be submitting several sync writes, we want to
give the IO scheduler a chance to merge some of them. Instead of
using the implicitly unplugging WRITE_SYNC variant, use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG
and rely on sync_buffer() doing the unplug when someone does a
wait_on_buffer()/lock_buffer().

9cf6b720f8 block: fsync_buffers_list() should use SWRITE_SYNC_PLUG
Then it can submit all the buffers without unplugging for each one.
We will kick off the pending IO if we come across a new address space.

a1f242524c Add WRITE_SYNC_PLUG and SWRITE_SYNC_PLUG
(S)WRITE_SYNC always unplugs the device right after IO submission.
Sometimes we want to build up a queue before doing so, so add
variants that explicitly DON'T unplug the queue. The caller must
then do that after submitting all the IO.

1faa16d228 block: change the request allocation/congestion logic to be sync/async based
This makes sure that we never wait on async IO for sync requests, instead
of doing the split on writes vs reads.

303a0e11d0 md/raid1 - don't assume newly allocated bvecs are initialised.
Since commit d3f761104b
newly allocated bvecs aren't initialised to NULL, so we have
to be more careful about freeing a bio which only managed
to get a few pages allocated to it.  Otherwise the resync
process crashes.

This patch is appropriate for 2.6.29-stable.
