The driver recently learned to handle platform ids. Make use of this
new feature. The up side is that the driver needs less knowledge about
the spi interfaces used on different SoCs.

i.MX51 comes with two eCSPI interfaces (that are quite different from
what was known before---the tried and tested Freescale way) and a CSPI
interface that is identical to the devices found on i.MX25 and i.MX35.
This patch is a merge of two very similar patches (by Jason Wang and Sascha
Hauer resp.) plus a (now hopefully correct) reimplementation of the
clock calculation.

This prepares adding support for imx51's eCSPI. This IP has seperate
control and config bits for all four supported chip selects, so the
config routine needs to know which chip select is being used even if
the chipselect is realized by a gpio.

Nearly everything that is needed is provided by the version of the SPI IP.
Now the only checks left using cpu_is_... are clk divider tuning on mx21/mx27
and autodetection (which will die soon).

This has the advantage not to need to much cpu_is_... macros. Still more
when imx51 support is added which has two different spi interfaces which
would introduce additional checks on the device id.
With this setup it's not possible for the compiler anymore to detect the
unused functions, so four additional kconfig symbols are introduced to
ifdef out the unneeded functions in the callback array and all these
functions are marked with __maybe_unused to suppress the corresponding
gcc warnings.
Comparing the driver footprint with and without the patch for a mx27
kernel yields:
add/remove: 2/0 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 280/0 (280)
function old new delta
spi_imx_devtype - 192 +192
spi_imx_probe 980 1032 +52
spi_imx_devtype_data - 32 +32
spi_imx_setupxfer 276 280 +4
Later when the platform code is updated to use the platform ids, the
autodetection can be removed which will make the driver a bit smaller
again. (~60 Bytes in my test.)

Group soc specific data in a global struct instead of repeating it for
each call to imxXX_add_spi_imxX. The structs holding the actual data
are placed in .init.constdata and so don't do much harm. Compared to
the previous approach this reduces code size to call imx_add_spi_imx.

When you don't use !E or !I but only !F, then it's very easy to miss
including some functions, structs etc. in documentation. To help
finding which ones were missed, allow printing out the unused ones as
warnings.
For example, using this on mac80211 yields a lot of warnings like this:
Warning: didn't use docs for DOC: mac80211 workqueue
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_max_queues
Warning: didn't use docs for ieee80211_bss_change

There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.
To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.
Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.

The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work
processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.
By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.
Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.
When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.
Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.
