At least the nVidia MCP55 controller quite happily supports MSI.
This adds an option to use it. It is disabled by default.
As per feedback by Robert Hancock, it will honour the user
request as the kernel will not enable MSI where the controller

Between GCC version 3.4.0 and 4.3.3 (including 3.4.0 and 4.3.3), -mtune=merced
is implemented in GCC. Starting from 4.4.0, -mtune=merced is deprecated.
Even implemented in versions between 3.4.0 and 4.3.3, the -mtune=merced
feature has been broken in some of the versions. For example, GCC 4.1.2 reports
interanl tuning function errors during kernel building with -mtune=merced. Or
GCC Bugzilla 16130 reports another -mtune=merced issue on GCC 3.4.1.
So I would remove the -mtune=merced from IA64 kernel build. Without this option,
kernel on Merced will remain the same except losing an unstable and out-of-date
performance tunning feature.
Since GCC version 3.4.0, -mtune=mckinley has been implemented. The
-mtune=mckinley option functions the same as mtune=itanium2. And mtune=itanium2
is the default option. So we don't need to add mtune=mckinley either since its
been the default option in any GCC version which implements this option.

Commit 783ea7d4ee
(Driver Core: Rework platform suspend/resume, print warning)
added a warning message printed for platform drivers that use the
legacy PM callbacks rather than struct dev_pm_ops. Unfortunately,
this resulted in some confusion and made some people try to convert
drivers by replacing the old callbacks with struct dev_pm_ops in
automatic way, which generally is not a good idea.
Remove the platform device runtime dev_pm_ops warning for now,
because it's annoying to users and it's not really necessary right
now.

Commit d945cb9cc ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering
logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which
then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data
properly when the tty is stopped.
So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc
layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write()
routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check
'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written.
This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc
layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things,
but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped'
handling.

In OCFS2, allocator locks rank above transaction start. Thus we
cannot extend quota file from inside a transaction less we could
deadlock.
We solve the problem by starting transaction not already in
ocfs2_acquire_dquot() but only in ocfs2_local_read_dquot() and
ocfs2_global_read_dquot() and we allocate blocks to quota files before starting
the transaction. In case we crash, quota files will just have a few blocks
more but that's no problem since we just use them next time we extend the
quota file.

PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: do not use hotplug_slot_attr
PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: fix build failure
Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:
| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.
I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.
The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.
So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.
In other words:
- I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
iteration, rather than in every iteration
- I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.
Here's a suggested replacement.
