This is preliminary since:
1. It supports only _one_ chip select at the moment. As there is no
existing platforms available using two chip selects of the NAND
controller, it shall really not include code for supporting the
2nd chip select for now, as such code cannot be verified.
2. It resorts to the default and simpliest memory based badblock
table
3. Only limited types of nand flash are currently supported. Most
PXA3xx processors come with on-chip NAND flash dies, so there
isn't much flexibility for other types of NAND.
4. The NAND controller should be configured to detect the device's
ID, thus making it difficult to use nand_scan_ident() to assist
the detection process (though it's not impossible)

The RCU iterators used 'rcu_dereference()' on an already-fetched RCU
pointer value, which defeats the whole point of the exercise.
When we dereference a pointer protected by RCU, we need to make sure
that we only fetch the value _once_, because if the compiler ends up
re-loading it due to register pressure, the newly reloaded value could
be different from the previously fetched one, and you get inconsistent
results.

Only noticed this while hacking something else, no test case.
blk_max_low_pfn is initialized once at bootup by the block layer from
max_low_pfn. But max_low_pfn is not necessarily constant over the runtime of
the system when you consider memory hotplug. What could happen if that
someone adds memory later the block layer wouldn't get updated and then start
bouncing memory unnecessarily.
Also on 64bit blk_max_low_pfn actually isn't needed because it just disables
bouncing essentially and there is no highmem. And nobody can pass pfns >
max_low_pfn to the block layer, because those wouldn't have a struct page and
I suspect block layer wouldn't be very happy without that.
So set BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH to infinity (-1ULL) on 64bit. That avoids the problem
of having to update it on memory hotadd.
On 32bit I kept the same behaviour because at least on i386
memory hotadd only adds HIGHMEM, never lowmem.
BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is always set to infinity on both 32 and 64bit.

blk_rq_map_user adjusts bi_size of the last bio. It breaks the rule
that req->data_len (the true data length) is equal to sum(bio). It
broke the scsi command completion code.
commit e97a294ef6 was introduced to fix
the above issue. However, the partial completion code doesn't work
with it. The commit is also a layer violation (scsi mid-layer should
not know about the block layer's padding).
This patch moves the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg (suggested by
James). The padding works like the drain buffer. This patch breaks the
rule that req->data_len is equal to sum(sg), however, the drain buffer
already broke it. So this patch just restores the rule that
req->data_len is equal to sub(bio) without breaking anything new.
Now when a low level driver needs padding, blk_rq_map_user and
blk_rq_map_user_iov guarantee there's enough room for padding.
blk_rq_map_sg can safely extend the last entry of a scatter list.
blk_rq_map_sg must extend the last entry of a scatter list only for a
request that got through bio_copy_user_iov. This patches introduces
new REQ_COPY_USER flag.

Vital Product Data (VPD) may be exposed by PCI devices in several
ways. It is generally unsafe to read this information through the
existing interfaces to user-land because of stateful interfaces.
This adds:
- abstract operations for VPD access (struct pci_vpd_ops)
- VPD state information in struct pci_dev (struct pci_vpd)
- an implementation of the VPD access method specified in PCI 2.2
(in access.c)
- a 'vpd' binary file in sysfs directories for PCI devices with VPD
operations defined
It adds a probe for PCI 2.2 VPD in pci_scan_device() and release of
VPD state in pci_release_dev().

Each architecture has its own pcibios_enable_resources() implementation.
These differ in many minor ways that have nothing to do with actual
architectural differences. Follow-on patches will make most arches
use this generic version instead.
This version is based on powerpc, which seemed most up-to-date. The only
functional difference from the x86 version is that this uses "!r->parent"
to check for resource collisions instead of "!r->start && r->end".

PCI Express ASPM defines a protocol for PCI Express components in the D0
state to reduce Link power by placing their Links into a low power state
and instructing the other end of the Link to do likewise. This
capability allows hardware-autonomous, dynamic Link power reduction
beyond what is achievable by software-only controlled power management.
However, The device should be configured by software appropriately.
Enabling ASPM will save power, but will introduce device latency.
This patch adds ASPM support in Linux. It introduces a global policy for
ASPM, a sysfs file /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy can control
it. The interface can be used as a boot option too. Currently we have
below setting:
-default, BIOS default setting
-powersave, highest power saving mode, enable all available ASPM
state and clock power management
-performance, highest performance, disable ASPM and clock power
management
By default, the 'default' policy is used currently.
In my test, power difference between powersave mode and performance mode
is about 1.3w in a system with 3 PCIE links.
Note: some devices might not work well with aspm, either because chipset
issue or device issue. The patch provide API (pci_disable_link_state),
driver can disable ASPM for specific device.

This lets us check if the device is really added to the driver core or
not, which is what we need when walking some of the bus lists. The flag

which is what we used to check in this situation.

We currently keep 2 lists of PCI devices in the system, one in the
driver core, and one all on its own. This second list is sorted at boot
time, in "BIOS" order, to try to remain compatible with older kernels
(2.2 and earlier days). There was also a "nosort" option to turn this
sorting off, to remain compatible with even older kernel versions, but
that just ends up being what we have been doing from 2.5 days...
Unfortunately, the second list of devices is not really ever used to
determine the probing order of PCI devices or drivers[1]. That is done
using the driver core list instead. This change happened back in the
early 2.5 days.
Relying on BIOS ording for the binding of drivers to specific device
names is problematic for many reasons, and userspace tools like udev
exist to properly name devices in a persistant manner if that is needed,
no reliance on the BIOS is needed.
Matt Domsch and others at Dell noticed this back in 2006, and added a
boot option to sort the PCI device lists (both of them) in a
breadth-first manner to help remain compatible with the 2.4 order, if
needed for any reason. This option is not going away, as some systems
rely on them.
This patch removes the sorting of the internal PCI device list in "BIOS"
mode, as it's not needed at all anymore, and hasn't for many years.
I've also removed the PCI flags for this from some other arches that for
some reason defined them, but never used them.
This should not change the ordering of any drivers or device probing.
[1] The old-style pci_get_device and pci_find_device() still used this
sorting order, but there are very few drivers that use these functions,
as they are deprecated for use in this manner. If for some reason, a
driver rely on the order and uses these functions, the breadth-first
boot option will resolve any problem.

This cleans up the search.c file, now using the pci list of devices that
are created for the driver core, instead of relying on our separate list
of devices. It's better to use the functions already created for this
kind of thing, instead of rolling our own all the time.
This work is done in anticipation of getting rid of that second list of
pci devices all together.
And it ends up saving code, always a nice benefit.
This also removes one compiler warning for when CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY is
