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

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.

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).

ata_port has two different id fields - id and port_no. id is
system-wide 1-based unique id for the port while port_no is 0-based
host-wide port number. The former is primarily used to identify the
ATA port to the user in printk messages while the latter is used in
various places in libata core and LLDs to index the port inside the
host.
The two fields feel quite similar and sometimes ap->id is used in
place of ap->port_no, which is very difficult to spot. This patch
renames ap->id to ap->print_id to reduce the possibility of such bugs.
Some printk messages are adjusted such that id string (ata%u[.%u])
isn't printed twice and/or to use ata_*_printk() instead of hardcoded
id format.

The current EH speed down code is more of a proof that the EH
framework is capable of adjusting transfer speed in response to error.
This patch puts some intelligence into EH speed down sequence. The
rules are..
* If there have been more than three timeout, HSM violation or
unclassified DEV errors for known supported commands during last 10
mins, NCQ is turned off.
* If there have been more than three timeout or HSM violation for known
supported command, transfer mode is slowed down. If DMA is active,
it is first slowered by one grade (e.g. UDMA133->100). If that
doesn't help, it's slowered to 40c limit (UDMA33). If PIO is
active, it's slowered by one grade first. If that doesn't help,
PIO0 is forced. Note that this rule does not change transfer mode.
DMA is never degraded into PIO by this rule.
* If there have been more than ten ATA bus, timeout, HSM violation or
unclassified device errors for known supported commands && speeding
down DMA mode didn't help, the device is forced into PIO mode. Note
that this rule is considered only for PATA devices and is pretty
difficult to trigger.
One error can only trigger one rule at a time. After a rule is
triggered, error history is cleared such that the next speed down
happens only after some number of errors are accumulated. This makes
sense because now speed down is done in bigger stride.

The problem comes when ks0108/cfag12864b are built-in and no parallel port is
present. ks0108_init() is called first, as it should be, but fails to load
(as there is no parallel port to use).
After that, cfag12864b_init() gets called, without knowing anything about
ks0108 failed, and calls ks0108_writecontrol(), which dereferences an
uninitialized pointer.
Init order is OK, I think. The problem is how to stop cfag12864b_init() being
called if ks0108 failed to load. modprobe does it for us, but, how when
built-in?

highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible
node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node
arrays.
I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a
system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry
correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value
needs to be setup only once on bootup. The node_possible_map does not
change after bootup.
This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of
highest_possible_node_id(). nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the
page allocators pagesets are initialized.

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.
backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.
Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.
