A missing type cast results in writing way beyond the end of a kzalloc()'d
memory segment resulting in slab corruption. But it seems like the better
solution is to define ->recv_msg_slots as a 'void *' rather than a
'struct xpc_notify_mq_msg_uv *' and add the type cast.Signed-off-by: Dean Nelson

The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so
increase the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms).Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel
close routine. Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs
to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory
cleared of references to freed dma buffer.Signed-off-by: David Altobelli

A recent patch by Stephen Hemminger to convert XPNET to use net_device_ops and
internal net_device_stats failed to link the net_device_ops structure to the
net_device structure. See commit e8ac9c55f28482f5b2f497a8e7eb90985db237c2

After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of
time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by
a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running
on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC
that was just restarted. This false detection will occur if the restarted
XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's
heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds).The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating
from the just restarted XPC. The only remedy is to restart one of the
XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the
other partitions.Signed-off-by: Dean Nelson

GBLS and GBLL only differ in the clearing of the GHKS flag, so there is no need
to have two backlight level readouts. Also, per Peter Gruber, the need for the
BLNF check has disappeared.
As a result, cleanups can be made in the code. This has been tested on the both
the S6410 and the S6420 platforms and causes no functionality regressions, on
the console without X or within X. One module parameter to disable the hotkeys
is dropped, as we only ever took one codepath anyway.Signed-off-by: Tony Vroon

The FUNC interface in the Fujitsu-Siemens DSDT was unused until now. It exposes
state information that is now reported in additional platform files (whether the
radios are killed by the hardware switch or operational, whether the machine is
docked and whether the lid is open).
Support for the backlight class is now extended with the ability to power the
backlight on & off. Optional support for the LED class allows the keyboard
headlamps found on the U810 netbook and the Fujitsu logo illumination on the
P8010 notebook to be turned on & off.This was fed through checkpatch.pl and tested on the S6420, P8010 & U810 platforms.

Modify ioc4 to always load the sgiioc4 IDE module if the board carrying
the IOC4 hardware actually implements the IDE interface (not all boards
bring this functionality off the IOC4 chip). A drive hosted on the IDE
interface may contain the root filesystem, and sgiioc4 doesn't load
automatically as ioc4 owns the PCI device ID, not sgiioc4.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]
