Since ide_dma_lostirq() method's result is discarded, make it return 'void'.
While at it, rename the method to dma_lost_irq(), drop the '__' prefix from the
default method's name, and do some cleanups in this method driver-wise:
- in aec62xx.c, rename the method in accordance with other drivers, and get rid
of unnecessary variables there;
- in pdc202xx_old.c, define/use 'hwif' variable;
- in sgiioc4.c, rearrange the code to call the resetproc() method directly.

Switch the driver to always program DMA/PIO timings and set device transfer
mode instead of trusting BIOS on CSB6 controllers (libata pata_serverworks.c
driver is also doing things this way and there were no problems reported so
far). While doing conversion I noticed that the old code had many issues:
* the code was assuming that hwif->dma_status is always valid
(which obviously isn't true if hwif->dma_base == NULL)
* value of "(ultra_timing >> (4*unit)) & ~(0xF0)" expression wasn't checked
to fit into udma_modes[5]
* code validating DMA timings didn't validate corresponding PIO timings
* extra CSB5 PIO register wasn't validated et all
* hwif->ide_dma_off_quietly() is always called before ide_set_dma() (which in
turn calls hwif->speedproc() method - svwks_tune_chipset() in this case)
so the code depending on DMA capable bit of DMA status to be set was never
executed (=> the code was never validating DMA timings despite actually
enabling DMA if the PIO timings were OK!)
* on resume driver dependend entirely on BIOS to restore timings and set
transfer mode on the device
While at it:
There is no need to read PIO/MWDMA timings now so don't do it.

the Linux scheduler is starving a number of workloads. So default
to more agressive idle-balancing. This hurts lmbench context-switching
numbers (which was the main reason we sucked at idle-balancing for
such a long time) but the lmbench numbers are fine once the system is
minimally utilized.

this change switches over the scheduler core to CFS's modular
design and makes use of kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c to implement
Linux's scheduling policies.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
