.exit.text and .exit.data at runtime. Which of course sucks because it
bloats binaries with code that will never ever be used but it's the only
thing that will work reliable as demonstrated by the function sd_major() in
drivers/scsi/sd.c.
Gcc may compile sd_major() using a jump table which it will put into
.rodata. If it also inlines sd_major's function body into exit_sd() which
gcc > 3.4.x does. If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD has been set to y we would like ld
to discard exit_sd's code at link time. However sd_major happens to
contain a switch statement which gcc will compile using a jump table in
.rodata on the architectures I checked. So, when ld later discards
.exit.text only the jump table in .rodata with its stale references to
the discard .exit.text will be left which any no antique ld will honor
with a link error.

rtc: rtc-sh: alarm support.
This adds alarm support for the RTC_ALM_SET, RTC_ALM_READ,

The only unusual part is the handling of the alarm interrupt. If you
clear the alarm flag (AF) while the time in the RTC still matches the
time in the alarm registers than AF is immediately re-set, and if the
alarm interrupt (AIE) is still enabled then it re-triggers. I was
originally getting around 20k+ interrupts generated during the second
when the RTC and alarm registers matches.
The solution I've used is to clear AIE when the alarm goes off and
then use the carry interrupt to re-enabled it. The carry interrupt
will check AF and re-enabled AIE if it's clear. If AF is not clear
it'll clear it and then the check will be repeated next carry
interrupt. This a bit in rtc structure that indicates that it's
waiting to have AIE re-enabled so it doesn't turn it on when it
wasn't enabled anyway.

same convention used by x86 PAE.
There's a minor discrepency between the number of bits used for the
swap type encoding between 32 and 64-bit PTEs, but this is unlikely
to cause any problem given the extended offset.

[IPVS]: Use msleep_interruptable() instead of ssleep() aka msleep()
Dean Manners notices that when an IPVS synchonisation daemons are
started the system load slowly climbs up to 1. This seems to be related
to the call to ssleep(1) (aka msleep(1000) in the main loop. Replacing
this with a call to msleep_interruptable() seems to make the problem go
away. Though I'm not sure that it is correct.
This is the second edition of this patch, which replaces ssleep()
in the main loop for both the master and backup threads, as well
as some thread synchronisation code. The latter is just for thorougness
as it shouldn't be causing any problems.
