There are a lot userspace approaches to detect the usage of the
platform (laptop, workstation, server, ...) and adjust kernel tunables
accordingly (io/process scheduler, power management, ...).
These approaches need constant maintaining and are ugly to implement
(detect PCMCIA controller -> laptop,
does not work on recent systems anymore, ...)
On ACPI systems there is an easy and reliable way (if implemented
in BIOS and most recent platforms have this value set).
-> export it to userspace.

x86-64: Fix alignment of jiffies variable
Add overview documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable/firewire-cdev.
Improve the inline reference documentation in firewire-cdev.h:
- Add /* available since kernel... */ comments to event numbers
consistent with the comments on ioctl numbers.
- Shorten some documentation on an event and an ioctl that are
less interesting to current programming because there are newer
preferable variants.
- Spell Configuration ROM (name of an IEEE 1212 register) in
upper case.
- Move the dummy FW_CDEV_VERSION out of the reader's field of
vision. We should remove it from the header next year or so.

There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given
machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are
providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy
decisions.

This patch renames the (never officially released) sysfs-knobs
"blocked_hw" and "blocked_sw" to "hard" and "soft", as the hardware vs
software conotation is misleading.
It also gets rid of not needed locks around u32-read-access.

This moves sysfs ABI info from Documentation/rfkill.txt to the
ABI subfolder and reformats it.
This also schedules the deprecated sysfs parts to be removed in
2012 (claim file) and 2014 (state file).

Add a bare description of what /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX is. Others
will follow in time but right now, none of that tree is documented. The
existence of this file might at least encourage people to document new

/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.
Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.
