This patch converts users of pci_enable_device_bars() to the new
pci_enable_device_{io,mem} interface.
The new API fits nicely, except maybe for the QLA case where a bit of
code re-organization might be a good idea but I prefer sticking to the
simple patch as I don't have hardware to test on.
I'll also need some feedback on the cs5520 change.

With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable
or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so
there's no need to have a check in the host template.
Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the
SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not
to be a power of two.

The original patch comment:
This patch makes Emulex lpfc driver legacy I/O port free.
It has already been acked quite long time ago.
So I resubmit the patch.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/22/28
Current lpfc driver is already using pci_select_bars()
and pci_enable_device_bars() when the PCI bus has been reset.
So I think this patch should also be acked.

The Coverity checker noticed that we may overrun a statically allocated
array in drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c::lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find().
The case is this; In 'struct lpfc_hba' we have
#define LPFC_MAX_HBQS 4
...
struct lpfc_hba {
...
struct hbq_s hbqs[LPFC_MAX_HBQS];
...
};
But then in lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find() we have this code
hbqno = tag >> 16;
if (hbqno > LPFC_MAX_HBQS)
return NULL;
if 'hbqno' ends up as exactely 4, then we won't return, and then this
list_for_each_entry(d_buf, &phba->hbqs[hbqno].hbq_buffer_list, list) {
will cause an overflow of the statically allocated array at index 4,
since the valid indices are only 0-3.
I propose this patch, that simply changes the 'hbqno > LPFC_MAX_HBQS'
into 'hbqno >= LPFC_MAX_HBQS' as a possible fix.

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.
