Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}"
from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006.This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and
disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and
hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception
and transmission.Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso
interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no
longer useful for isochronous applications.raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the
requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Make note of the legacy "probe-the-hardware" drivers, and some APIs that
are mostly unused except by such drivers. We probably can't escape having

The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released
in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in
order to get the attributes more organized.This proved to be a really bad design decision. Maybe if attribute groups
were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not
second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have
been so bad.This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus
removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that
hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the
documentation.These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to
maintain.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
