Append scpdata to the kernel boot command line. If scpdata starts
with the equal sign (=), the kernel boot command line is replaced.
(For consistency with zIPL and IPL PARM parameters.)
To use scpdata for the kernel boot command line, scpdata must consist
of ascii characters only. If scpdata contains other characters,
scpdata is not appended to the kernel boot command line.
In addition, re-IPL is extended for setting scpdata for the next
Linux reboot.

When scanning for new subchannels we have a code path where we allocate
memory for a struct subchannel, set the device name (which is dynamically
allocated now) and do a check if the underlying device is blacklisted - if
so we free the subchannel structure.
Since we have not set up refcounting at this stage, the device name's memory
is lost. Fix this by moving the dev_set_name after the blacklist test.

When unit checks trigger sensing the device state is set to W4SENSE
until sense completion; then the device state is set back to
ONLINE. If a unit check occurs while set online or set offline
requests are processed then it might happen that the device's
temporary W4SENSE state causes these functions to terminate,
leaving the device in an inconsistent state when the state is set
back to ONLINE later on so that the device cannot be set online or
offline any longer.
To solve this, set online/offline and related rollback or error
routines are processed only if the device is in a final or

This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
vmstat:

A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.

As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and
<http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives
enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class
processors.
The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions
affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that
have already been prefetched. Pentium and later processors will
invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class
processors do not.
Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class)
processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the
modifiable local_irq_restore().

Nikos Chantziaras and Jens Axboe reported that turning off

Nikos described his experiences the following way:
" With this setting, I can do "nice -n 19 make -j20" and
still have a very smooth desktop and watch a movie at
the same time. Various other annoyances (like the
"logout/shutdown/restart" dialog of KDE not appearing
at all until the background fade-out effect has finished)
are also gone. So this seems to be the single most
important setting that vastly improves desktop behavior,
at least here. "
Jens described it the following way, referring to a 10-seconds
xmodmap scheduling delay he was trying to debug:
" Then I tried switching NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS on, and then
I get:
Performance counter stats for 'xmodmap .xmodmap-carl':

So disable it for now. In perf trace output i can see weird
