8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

98ccf14909 mmc: bounce requests for simple hosts
Some hosts cannot do scatter/gather in hardware. Since not doing sg
is such a big performance hit, we (optionally) bounce the requests
to a simple linear buffer that we hand over to the driver.

The MMC block devices now have an assigned major. Make sure
we actually use it.

b855885e3b mmc: deprecate mmc bus topology
The classic MMC bus was defined as multi card bus
system, which is reflected in the design in the MMC
layer.

When SD showed up, the bus topology was abandoned
and a star topology (one card per host) was mandated.
MMC version 4 has followed this, officially deprecating
the bus topology.

As we do not have any known users of the bus
topology we can remove support for it. This will
simplify the code and rectify some incorrect
assumptions in the newer additions.

queue, something that might happen if the card is removed during
suspend.
