remaining ones can simply use an dummy default implementation,
except for cris and xtensa, which should override the
default appropriately.

The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and
worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient
way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using
'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but
would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO
would not be clearer.
Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines.
If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum
code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but
at least the code should not break.

Architechtures normally don't need to set a HARDIRQ_BITS
unless they have hardcoded a specific value in assembly.
This drops the definition from asm-generic/hardirq.h, which
results in linux/hardirq.h setting its default of 10.
Both the old default of 8 and the linux/hardirq.h default
of 10 are sufficient because they only limit the number
of nested hardirqs, and we normally run out of stack space
much earlier than exceeding 256 or even 1024 nested interrupts.

There's no reason that I can see to use the short __access_ok() form
directly when the access_ok() is clearer in intent and for most people,
expands to the same C code (i.e. always specify the first field -- access
type). Not all no-mmu systems lack memory protection, so the read/write
could feasibly be checked.

The strnlen_user() function was missing a access_ok() check on the pointer

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".
PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.
Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.
To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.

Currently the sysrq-c handler is bit over-engineered. Its behavior is
dependent on a few compile time and run time factors that alter its
behavior which is really unnecessecary.
If CONFIG_KEXEC is not configured, sysrq-c, crashes the system with a NULL
pointer dereference. If CONFIG_KEXEC is configured, it calls crash_kexec
directly, which implies that the kexec kernel will either be booted (if
its been previously loaded), or it will simply do nothing (the no kexec
kernel has been loaded).
It would be much easier to just simplify the whole thing to dereference a
NULL pointer all the time regardless of configuration. That way, it will
always try to crash the system, and if a kexec kernel has been loaded into
reserved space, it will still boot from the page fault trap handler
(assuming panic_on_oops is set appropriately).

On embedded devices, sleep mode conditions can be tricky to handle,
Especially when processors tend to pull-down the w1 bus during sleep. Bus

conditions and entirely switch off the device.
This patch adds a callback function pointer to let users switch on and off
the external pull-up resistor. This lets the outside world know whether
the processor is currently actively driving the bus or not.
When this callback is not provided, the code behaviour won't change.

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel. gcov may be useful for:
* debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
associated code is never run?)
The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs
Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.
For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).
