not a good default as continuing on error could lead to file system

Some Supermicro BIOSes describe a SATA PCI BAR as a motherboard resource.
The PNP system driver claims motherboard resources, and this prevents the
sata_nv driver from requesting it later.
This patch disables the PNP0C01/PNP0C02 resources so they won't be claimed
by the PNP system driver, so they'll available for sata_nv.
This fixes the bugs below, where sata_nv detects only two out of four SATA
drives. The signature includes dmesg lines similar to these:

pnp: 00:09: iomem range 0xdfefd000-0xdfefd3ff has been reserved

The PNP_DRIVER_RES_DO_NOT_CHANGE flag is meant to signify that the PNP core
should not change resources for the device -- not that it shouldn't
disable/enable the device on suspend/resume.
ALSA ISAPnP drivers set PNP_DRIVER_RES_DO_NOT_CHANAGE (0x0001) through
setting PNP_DRIVER_RES_DISABLE (0x0003). The latter including the former
may in itself be considered rather unexpected but doesn't change that
suspend/resume wouldn't seem to have any business testing the flag.
As reported by Ondrej Zary for snd-cs4236, ALSA driven ISAPnP cards don't
survive swsusp hibernation with the resume skipping setting the resources
due to testing the flag -- the same test in the suspend path isn't enough
to keep hibernation from disabling the card it seems.
These tests were added (in 2005) by Piere Ossman in commit
68094e3251, "alsa: Improved PnP suspend
support" who doesn't remember why. This deletes them.

There are three kind of parse functions provided by PNP acpi/bios:
- get current resources
- set resources
- get possible resources
The first two may be needed later at runtime.
The possible resource settings should never change dynamically.
And even if this would make any sense (I doubt it), the current implementation
only parses possible resource settings at early init time:
-> declare all the option parsing __init

raid5's 'make_request' function calls generic_make_request on underlying
devices and if we run out of stripe heads, it could end up waiting for one of
those requests to complete. This is bad as recursive calls to
generic_make_request go on a queue and are not even attempted until
make_request completes.
So: don't make any generic_make_request calls in raid5 make_request until all
waiting has been done. We do this by simply setting STRIPE_HANDLE instead of
calling handle_stripe().
If we need more stripe_heads, raid5d will get called to process the pending
stripe_heads which will call generic_make_request from a
This change by itself causes a performance hit. So add a change so that
raid5_activate_delayed is only called at unplug time, never in raid5. This
seems to bring back the performance numbers. Calling it in raid5d was
sometimes too soon...

Due to possible deadlock issues we need to use a schedule work to kobject_del
an 'rdev' object from a different thread.
A recent change means that kobject_add no longer gets a refernce, and
kobject_del doesn't put a reference. Consequently, we need to explicitly hold
a reference to ensure that the last reference isn't dropped before the
scheduled work get a chance to call kobject_del.
Also, rename delayed_delete to md_delayed_delete to that it is more obvious in

Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.
This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.
So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.
This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags. So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

If you try to start an array for which the number of raid disks is listed as
zero, md will currently try to read metadata off any devices that have been
given. This was done because the value of raid_disks is used to signal
whether array details have been provided by userspace (raid_disks > 0) or must
be read from the devices (raid_disks == 0).
However for an array without persistent metadata (or with externally managed
metadata) this is the wrong thing to do. So we add a test in do_md_run to
give an error if raid_disks is zero for non-persistent arrays.
This requires that mddev->persistent is set corrently at this point, which it
currently isn't for in-kernel autodetected arrays.
So set ->persistent for autodetect arrays, and remove the settign in
super_*_validate which is now redundant.
Also clear ->persistent when stopping an array so it is consistently zero when
starting an array.

- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed
externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be
left of user-space to handle.
Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata -
after the array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and
internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x
These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute.
- move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if
there are any superblocks or not.
- New array state 'write_pending'. This means that the metadata records
the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has
to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue.
This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state
attribute.
- tidy up marking of sb_dirty:
- don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery
calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway.
- Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty.
- don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there
is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to
update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap
to reflect successful partial resync. Rather the entire bitmap is updated
when the resync completes.
This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in
order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome.
However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to
periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the
bitmap. Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update
time) does not notciably affect resync performance.

The current attr_fgcol_ec / attr_bgcol_ec macros do a simple shift of bits
to get the color from vc_video_erase_char. For a monochrome display
however the attribute does not contain any color, only attribute bits.
Furthermore the reverse bit is lost because it is shifted out, the
resulting color is always 0.
This can bee seen on a monochrome console either directly or by setting it
to inverse mode via "setterm -inversescreen on" . Text is written with
correct color, fb_fillrects from a bit_clear / bit_clear_margins will get
wrong colors.

On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from
the LCD controller. It's controlled by "contrast" registers though.
This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight
control. The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and
other operations actually take effect ... reducing the typically
substantial power drain from the backlight.
Note that it's not fully cooked
- doesn't force backlight off during system suspend
- the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right
This should be easily added in the future.

Avoid displaying garbage on unused framebuffers. For most users a single
framebuffer is used together with fbcon. sm501fb supports two framebuffers
where one often is assigned to fbcon and the other one is left unused during
the boot.
The problem here is that framebuffers not in use by fbcon happen to display
garbage. This can easily be solved by making sure that framebuffer memory and
palette ram are cleared.
The problem can be observed by using looking at the panel output (fb1) after
booting the kernel with fbcon on crt (fb0). This is the default
configuration. It's also possible to watch the garbage on the crt framebuffer
by passing "fbcon=map:1" on the kernel cmdline. This will assign fbcon to the
panel (fb1) and leave the crt (fb0) unused.
