Patch from Tony Lindgren
This patch was suggested by RMK, and adds a warning on the accuracy
of timekeeping when using dynamic tick on some platforms. Depending
on the timer implementation, dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of
timekeeping.
Currently at least OMAP is known to have accurate timekeeping with
dynamic tick.

This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).
Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October. The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined. This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c
I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
- Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
a normal interrupt
- if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
- generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
- added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
of this feature

The merge of sparsemem broke ARM discontigmem. Fix it.

For all architectures, this just means that you'll see a "Memory Model"
choice in your architecture menu. For those that implement DISCONTIGMEM,
you may eventually want to make your ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE a "def_bool
y" and make your users select DISCONTIGMEM right out of the new choice
menu. The only disadvantage might be if you have some specific things that
you need in your help option to explain something about DISCONTIGMEM.

Patch from Bellido Nicolas
Core support for AAEC-2000 based platforms.
This is an updated version of the previous patch, and takes
into account Russell's comments.
AAED-2000 default configuration will follow as soon
as some problems with the bootloader are sorted out...

CompactFlash memories)
Patch from David Brownell
The ARM generic Kconfig filters out IDE options ... except for
an error prone ARMload of special cases.
This adds one general case to the systems that will offer IDE options:
kernels with PCMCIA support, which probably want to use IDE to access
CompactFlash cards. This might allow many (most?) of the other cases
to disappear, for systems that only see IDE hardware through CF cards.
Right now this one patch is used to gate access to CF cards, including
MicroDrives, for both omap_cf and at91_cf drivers.

Rather than using a long "depends on..." and "default y" lines for
these options, use select instead.

A bunch of drivers use ISA DMA helpers or their equivalents for
platforms that have ISA with different DMA controller (a lot of ARM
boxen). Currently there is no way to put such dependency in Kconfig -
CONFIG_ISA is not it (e.g. it is not set on platforms that have no ISA
slots, but have on-board devices that pretend to be ISA ones).
New symbol added - ISA_DMA_API. Set when we have functional
enable_dma()/set_dma_mode()/etc. set of helpers. Next patches in the
series will add missing dependencies for drivers that need them.
I'm very carefully staying the hell out of the recurring flamefest on
what exactly CONFIG_ISA would mean in ideal world - added symbol has a
well-defined meaning and for now I really want to treat it as completely
independent from the mess around CONFIG_ISA.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
