Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.
There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

Looking at hibernate overwriting I though it looked like a cursor,
so I tracked down this missing piece to stop the cursor blink

The part of the IPMI driver that delivered panic information to the event

handling the messages. It used static messages to avoid allocation, but
wasn't properly waiting for these, or wasn't properly handling the

The IPMI driver would release a lock, deliver a message, then relock.
This is obviously ugly, and this patch converts the message handler
interface to use a tasklet to schedule work. This lets the receive
handler be called from an interrupt handler with interrupts enabled.

We currently time out and retry KCS transactions after 1 second of waiting
for IBF or OBF. This appears to be too short for some hardware. The IPMI
spec says "All system software wait loops should include error timeouts.
For simplicity, such timeouts are not shown explicitly in the flow
diagrams. A five-second timeout or greater is recommended". Change the
timeout to five seconds to satisfy the slow hardware.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Pull a few more things for powerpc by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
- Anton's did some recent improvements to EPOW event reporting on
pSeries (power supply failures and such). The patches are self
contained enough and replace really nasty code so I felt it should
still go in
- I did the vio driver registration change Greg requested, I don't see
the point of leaving that til the next merge window
- The remaining EEH changes I said were still pending to get rid of the
EEH references from the generic struct device_node
- A few more iSeries removal bits
- A perf bug fix on 970

This device-mapper target creates a read-only device that transparently
validates the data on one underlying device against a pre-generated tree
of cryptographic checksums stored on a second device.
Two checksum device formats are supported: version 0 which is already
shipping in Chromium OS and version 1 which incorporates some
improvements.

Support discards in the thin target.
On discard the corresponding mapping(s) are removed from the thin
device. If the associated block(s) are no longer shared the discard
is passed to the underlying device.
All bios other than discards now have an associated deferred_entry
that is saved to the 'all_io_entry' in endio_hook. When non-discard
IO completes and associated mappings are quiesced any discards that
were deferred, via ds_add_work() in process_discard(), will be queued
for processing by the worker thread.

This patch contains the ground work needed for dm-thin to support discard.
- Adds endio function that replaces shared_read_endio.
- Introduce an explicit 'quiesced' flag into the new_mapping structure.
Before, this was implicitly indicated by m->list being empty.
- The map_info->ptr remains constant for the duration of a bio's trip
through the thin target. Make it easier to reason about it.

Support the use of an external _read only_ device as an origin for a thin
device.
Any read to an unprovisioned area of the thin device will be passed
through to the origin. Writes trigger allocation of new blocks as
usual.
One possible use case for this would be VM hosts that want to run
guests on thinly-provisioned volumes but have the base image on another
device (possibly shared between many VMs).

The thin metadata format can only make use of a device that is <=
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS (currently 15.9375 GB). Therefore, there is no
practical benefit to using a larger device.
However, it may be that other factors impose a certain granularity for
the space that is allocated to a device (E.g. lvm2 can impose a coarse
granularity through the use of large, >= 1 GB, physical extents).
Rather than reject a larger metadata device, during thin-pool device
construction, switch to allowing it but issue a warning if a device
larger than THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (16 GB) is
provided. Any space over 15.9375 GB will not be used.

Save space by removing entries from the space map ref_count tree if
they're no longer needed.
Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is
below 3, or a btree of uint32_t if 3 or above.
When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from
the tree and save some metadata space. This removal was commented out
before because I was unsure why this was causing under-populated btree
nodes. Earlier patches have fixed this issue.

Commit unwritten data every second to prevent too much building up.
Released blocks don't become available until after the next commit
(for crash resilience). Prior to this patch commits were only
triggered by a message to the target or a REQ_{FLUSH,FUA} bio. This
allowed far too big a position to build up.
The interval is hard-coded to 1 second. This is a sensible setting.
I'm not making this user configurable, since there isn't much to be
gained by tweaking this - and a lot lost by setting it far too high.
