8db9d77b1b drm/i915: Support for Cougarpoint PCH display pipeline
Cougarpoint is the new PCH for Sandybridge CPU. This one resolves the
chipset change for display pipeline compared to previous Ibexpeak PCH.

Sandybridge/Cougarpoint has different FDI training parameters, so this also
makes seperate FDI training functions for IBX and CPT. Other change includes
new transcoder DPLL select function to set which DPLL for transcoder to pick
up.

And with another new transcoder C introduced in Cougarpoint, each connector
has new transcoder select bits. This one adds that change to light up VGA.

335af9a235 drm/i915: change intel_ddc_get_modes() function parameters
This one replaces original param for intel_ddc_get_modes() with
DRM connector and i2c bus adapter instead. With explicit params,
we won't require that a single driver structure must hold connector
and DDC bus reference, which ease the conversion to splitted encoder/
connector model.

It also clears up for some cases that we would steal other DDC bus
for mode probe, like VGA analog DDC probe for DVI-I. Also it fixed
a bug in old DVI-I probe handling, that failed to restore origin
analog GPIO port.

fb8b5a39b6 drm/i915: Configure the TV sense state correctly on GM45 to make TV detection reliable
The TV detection logic is not reliable on the Cantiga platform.
Sometimes the TV will be misdetected as the following two cases:
- TV is misdetected on some laptops. e.g. There is no TV connector
port or no TV is attached. But the TV is shown as connected.
- TV connector type is misdetected. e.g. the component TV is
attached, but the TV is shown as S-video type.

According to the hardware requirement, the TV sense state bits of TV DAC
register should be cleared to zero on Cantiga platfrom.

21d40d37ec drm/i915: Rename intel_output to intel_encoder.
The intel_output naming is inherited from the UMS code, which had a
structure of screen -> CRTC -> output.  The DRM code has an additional
notion of encoder/connector, so the structure is screen -> CRTC ->
encoder -> connector.  This is a useful structure for SDVO encoders
which can support multiple connectors (each of which requires
different programming in the one encoder and could be connected to
different CRTCs), or for DVI-I, where multiple encoders feed into the
connector for whether it's used for digital or analog.  Most of our
code is encoder-related, so transition it to talking about encoders
before we start trying to distinguish connectors.

This patch is produced by sed s/intel_output/intel_encoder/ over the
driver.

8e0cc811e0 fs/partition/msdos: fix unusable extended partition for > 512B sector
Smaller size than a minimum blocksize can't be used, after all it's
handled like 0 size.

For extended partition itself, this makes sure to use bigger size than one
logical sector size at least.

3fbf586cf7 fs/partitions/msdos: add support for large disks
In order to use disks larger than 2TiB on Windows XP, it is necessary to
use 4096-byte logical sectors in an MBR.

Although the kernel storage and functions called from msdos.c used
"sector_t" internally, msdos.c still used u32 variables, which results in
the ability to handle XP-compatible large disks.

This patch changes the internal variables to "sector_t".

Daniel said: "In the near future, WD will be releasing products that need
this patch".
