a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it
SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.
Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of
max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

- Add functionality to run in polled mode only. Includes run time
attribute to enable mode.
- Enable runtime writable hba settings for coallescing and delay parameters
Customers have requested a mode in the driver to run strictly polled.
This is generally to support an environment where the server is extremely
loaded and is looking to reclaim some cpu cycles from adapter interrupt
handling.
This patch adds a new "poll" attribute, and the following behavior:
if value is 0 (default):
The driver uses the normal method for i/o completion. It uses the
firmware feature of interrupt coalesing. The firmware allows a
minimum number of i/o completions before an interrupt, or a maximum
time delay between interrupts. By default, the driver sets these
to no delay (disabled) or 1 i/o - meaning coalescing is disabled.
Attributes were provided to change the coalescing values, but it was
a module-load time only and global across all adapters.
This patch allows them to be writable on a per-adapter basis.
if value is 1 :
Interrupts are left enabled, expecting that the user has tuned the
interrupt coalescing values. When this setting is enabled, the driver
will attempt to service completed i/o whenever new i/o is submitted
to the adapter. If the coalescing values are large, and the i/o
generation rate steady, an interrupt will be avoided by servicing
completed i/o prior to the coalescing thresholds kicking in. However,
if the i/o completion load is high enough or i/o generation slow, the
coalescion values will ensure that completed i/o is serviced in a timely
fashion.
if value is 3 :
Turns off FCP i/o interrupts altogether. The coalescing values now have
no effect. A new attribute "poll_tmo" (default 10ms) exists to set
the polling interval for i/o completion. When this setting is enabled,
the driver will attempt to service completed i/o and restart the
interval timer whenever new i/o is submitted. This behavior allows for
servicing of completed i/o sooner than the interval timer, but ensures
that if no i/o is being issued, then the interval timer will kick in
to service the outstanding i/o.

[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked
only on the 270.
Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address
via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable.
I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove
the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.

"All it's doing is deferring the device_put() from the
scsi_put_command() to after the scsi_run_queue(), which doesn't fix
the sleep while atomic problem of the device release method. In both
cases we still get the semaphore in atomic context problem which is
caused by scsi_reap_target() doing a device_del(), which I assumed
(wrongly) was valid from atomic context."
