For older FW versions, when a Mac address removed from Mac table,
we should set 0 for reference count for the corresponding Mac index.
Fixes a bug where removing Mac from the table still left that entry as
invalid.

While `pci_eisa_driver' still refer `pci_eisa_init', the .probe() function
should not be called after init memory release, as pointed out by commit
74b9a297. The structure is still referenced in the drivers subsystem, and can
be accesseed through sysfs, so the modpost warning is a false positive. Mark
it as such.
In the same time, the warning referenced in 005bdad7b80 did only mention
`pci_eisa_driver', not `pci_eisa_pci_tbl', so remove its marking.

after review of all intel drivers, found several instances where
drivers had the incorrect pattern of:
memory mapped write();
delay();
which should always be:
memory mapped write();
write flush(); /* aka memory mapped read */
delay();
explanation:
The reason for including the flush is that writes can be held
(posted) in PCI/PCIe bridges, but the read always has to complete
synchronously and therefore has to flush all pending writes to a
device. If a write is held and followed by a delay, the delay
means nothing because the write may not have reached hardware
(maybe even not until the next read)

of_alias_get_id() is broken and being reverted. Remove the reference
to it and replace with a single incrementing id number.
There is no risk of regression here on the imx driver since the imx
change to use of_alias_get_id() is commit 22698aa2, "serial/imx: add
device tree probe support" which is new for v3.1, and it won't get
used unless CONFIG_OF is enabled and the board is booted using a
device tree. A single incrementing integer is sufficient for now.

For versions of the device that implement operation-types 0x87, 0x88
(IOAT_OP_XOR, IOAT_OP_XOR_VAL) this map determines whether a given
source is located in the base or extended descriptor. Source addresses
6 through 8 require an extended descriptor, hence 0xe0, not 0xd0. No

- Current implementation tests wrong value for setting

- In the current implementation, we cannot differentiate between 2 cases:
a) if pdata->max_current is not set , or
b) pdata->max_current is set to AAT2870_CURRENT_0_45 (which is also 0).
Fix it by setting AAT2870_CURRENT_0_45 to be 1 and adjust the equation in

When a Xen Dom0 kernel boots on a hypervisor, it gets access
to the raw-hardware ACPI tables. While it parses the idle tables
for the hypervisor's beneift, it uses HLT for its own idle.
Rather than have xen scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,
have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and
architecture default HLT will be used.

Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support

printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors. Ratelimit is
enforced on the printk to avoid too many hardware error reports in
kernel log. Because there may be thousands or even millions of
corrected hardware errors during system running.
Currently, a simple scheme is used. That is, the total number of
hardware error reporting is ratelimited. This may cause some issues
in practice.
For example, there are two kinds of hardware errors occurred in
system. One is corrected memory error, because the fault memory
address is accessed frequently, there may be hundreds error report
per-second. The other is corrected PCIe AER error, it will be
reported once per-second. Because they share one ratelimit control
structure, it is highly possible that only memory error is reported.
To avoid the above issue, an error record content based throttle
algorithm is implemented in the patch. Where after the first
successful reporting, all error records that are same are throttled for
some time, to let other kinds of error records have the opportunity to
be reported.
In above example, the memory errors will be throttled for some time,
after being printked. Then the PCIe AER error will be printked
successfully.

Some APEI GHES recoverable errors are reported via NMI, but printk is
not safe in NMI context.
To solve the issue, a lock-less memory allocator is used to allocate
memory in NMI handler, save the error record into the allocated
memory, put the error record into a lock-less list. On the other
hand, an irq_work is used to delay the operation from NMI context to
IRQ context. The irq_work IRQ handler will remove nodes from
lock-less list, printk the error record and do some further processing
include recovery operation, then free the memory.

The SIGA-W may return with the busy bit set which means the device was
blocked. The busy loop which retries the SIGA-W for 100us may not be
long enough when running under a heavily loaded hypervisor.
Extend the retry mechanism by adding a longer second stage which retries
the SIGA-W for up to 10s. In difference to the first retry loop the second
stage is using mdelay to stop the cpu between the retries and thereby
avoid additional preassure in on the hypervisor.
If the second stage retry is successfull a device reset is avoided.
