throttle_vm_writeout() is designed to wait for the dirty levels to subside.
But if the caller holds IO or FS locks, we might be holding up that writeout.
So change it to take a single nap to give other devices a chance to clean some
memory, then return.

The problem: After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown
the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location?
With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device
to flush all posted writes. This does not work for the oldest ioapics
because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different
data path. For some more modern ioapics when everything is using
front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a
read to the ioapic. For other modern ioapics emperical testing has
shown that this does not work.
So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an
ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to
received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed.
Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic
into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been
processed through the local apics.

This patch (as859) makes the default USB autosuspend delay a module
parameter of usbcore. By setting the delay value at boot time, users
will be able to prevent the system from autosuspending devices which
for some reason can't handle it.
The patch also stores the autosuspend delay as a per-device value. A
later patch will allow the user to change the value, tailoring the
delay for each individual device. A delay value of 0 will prevent
autosuspend.

This patch adds trivial support for SMARTMIPS extension. This extension
is currently implemented by 4KS[CD] CPUs.
Basically it saves/restores ACX register, which is part of the SMARTMIPS
ASE, when needed. This patch does *not* add any support for Smartmips MMU
features.
Futhermore this patch does not add explicit support for 4KS[CD] CPUs since
they are respectively mips32 and mips32r2 compliant. So with the current
processor configuration, a platform that has such CPUs needs to select
both configs:
CPU_HAS_SMARTMIPS
SYS_HAS_CPU_MIPS32_R[12]
This is due to the processor configuration which is mixing up all the
architecture variants and the processor types.
The drawback of this, is that we currently pass '-march=mips32' option to
gcc when building a kernel instead of '-march=4ksc' for 4KSC case. This
can lead to a kernel image a little bit bigger than required.

Before this patch, vivi were simulating a scatter gather DMA transfer.
While this is academic, showing how stuff really works on a real PCI
device, this means a non-optimized code.
There are only two memory models that vivi implements:
1) kernel alloced memory. This is also used by read() method.
On this case, a vmalloc32 buffer is allocated at kernel;
2) userspace allocated memory. This is used by most userspace apps.
video-buf will store this pointer.
a simple copy_to_user is enough to transfer data.
The third memory model scenario supported by video-buf is overlay mode.
This model is not implemented on vivi and unlikely to be implemented on
newer drivers, since now, most userspace apps do some post-processing
(like de-interlacing).
After this patch, some cleanups may be done at video-buf.c to avoid
allocating pages, when the driver doesn't need a PCI buffer. This is the
case of vivi and usb drivers.

The direct register access ioctls were defined as kernel internal only,
but they are very useful for debugging hardware from userspace and are
used as such. Officially export them.
VIDIOC_INT_[SG]_REGISTER is renamed to VIDIOC_DBG_[SG]_REGISTER
Definition of ioctl and struct v4l2_register is moved from v4l2-common.h
to videodev2.h.
Types used in struct v4l2_register are changed to the userspace
exportable versions (u32 -> __u32, etc).
Use of VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN permission, so move
the check into the video_ioctl2() dispatcher so it doesn't need to be
duplicated in each driver's call-back function. CAP_SYS_ADMIN check is
added to pvrusb2 (which doesn't use video_ioctl2).
