The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others,
so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in
some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.)
and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks
to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing
time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to
about 2min:01sec.)
The chapters that were moved from kernel-api to device-drivers are:
Driver Basics
Device drivers infrastructure
Parallel Port Devices
Message-based devices
Sound Devices
16x50 UART Driver
Frame Buffer Library
Input Subsystem
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
I2C and SMBus Subsystem

This modifies hardware flags for powersave to support three different
flags:
* IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS - indicates general PS support
* IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK - indicates nullfunc sending in software
* IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS - indicates dynamic PS on the device
It also adds documentation for all this which explains how to set the
various flags.
Additionally, it fixes a few things:
* a spot where && was used to test flags
* enable CONF_PS only when associated again

Not all drivers are capable of passing properly aligned frames,
in particular with mesh networking no hardware will support
completely aligning it correctly.
This patch adds code to align the data payload to a 4-byte
boundary in memory for those platforms that require this, or
when CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT is set.

The following features were added to the UIO framework in the near past:
* Generic drivers for platform devices (uio_pdrv, uio_pdrv_genirq)
* an "offset" sysfs attribute for memory mappings
Unfortunately, all this went in without documentation (won't happen again...)
This patch updates UIO documentation.

Add a basic DocBook manual for the regulator API. This is much more
skeletal than the existing text documentation, the main benefit is to
provide a skeleton for automatic generation of a manual based on the
kerneldoc for the API.
Since large portions of the text are lifted from the existing text format
documentation written by Liam Girdwood much of the credit belongs to
him.

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.
Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.
Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).
Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option. When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page. When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.
This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point. If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly. Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.
Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.

Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device
from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver
can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write
an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The
UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function.

Split out CDC ACM parts of "gadget serial" to a "function driver".
Some key structural differences from the previous ACM support, shared
with with the generic serial function (next patch):
- As a function driver, it can be combined with other functions.
One gadget configuration could offer both serial and network
links, as an example.
- One serial port can be exposed in multiple configurations;
the /dev/ttyGS0 node could be exposed regardless of which
config the host selected.
- One configuration can expose multiple serial ports, such as
ttyGS0, ttyGS1, ttyGS2, and ttyGS3.
This code should be a lot easier to understand than the previous
all-in-one-big-file version of the driver.

Add <linux/usb/composite.h> interfaces for composite gadget drivers, and
basic implementation support behind it:
- struct usb_function ... groups one or more interfaces into a function
managed as one unit within a configuration, to which it's added by
usb_add_function().
- struct usb_configuration ... groups one or more such functions into
a configuration managed as one unit by a driver, to which it's added
by usb_add_config(). These operate at either high or full/low speeds
and at a given bMaxPower.
- struct usb_composite_driver ... groups one or more such configurations
into a gadget driver, which may be registered or unregistered.
- struct usb_composite_dev ... a usb_composite_driver manages this; it
wraps the usb_gadget exposed by the controller driver.
This also includes some basic kerneldoc.
How to use it (the short version): provide a usb_composite_driver with a
bind() that calls usb_add_config() for each of the needed configurations.
The configurations in turn have bind() calls, which will usb_add_function()
for each function required. Each function's bind() allocates resources
needed to perform its tasks, like endpoints; sometimes configurations will
allocate resources too.
Separate patches will convert most gadget drivers to this infrastructure.
