This patch works around a problem with spurious interrupts seen at boot time when
a MAXTOR 6H500F0 drive is present. An ATA interrupt condition is mysteriously
present at start of day. If we took too long in issuing the first command,
the kernel would basically get tired of the spurious interrupts and turn the interrupt
off. Issuing the first command essentially causes the interrupt condition to
get acknowledged.
I haven't seen this happen with any other drives.
What I basically do is ack ATA status by reading it regardless of whether we're
expecting to have to handle an interrupt. This clears the start-of-day anomalous
interrupt condition, and keeps the kernel from disabling that interrupt due to
too many spurious interrupts.
Also, I fixed a bug where hotplug interrupts weren't getting acknowledged as handled
in the ISR. This was not the cause of the spurious interrupts, but it's the right
thing to do anyway.

[PATCH] spufs: abstract priv1 register access.
In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first
priviledged register space can typically not be allowed
to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor
calls.
As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register
access trough a number of function calls. Since there is
currently no public specification of actual hypervisor
calls to implement this, I only provide a place that
makes it easier to hook into.

[PATCH] spufs: move spu_run call to its own file
The logic for sys_spu_run keeps growing and it does
not really belong into file.c any more since we
moved away from using regular file operations to our
own syscall.
No functional change in here.

[PATCH] spufs: clean up use of bitops
checking bits manually might not be synchonized with
the use of set_bit/clear_bit. Make sure we always use
the correct bitops by removing the unnecessary
identifiers.
