ab9cee4b21 ARM: mx25: dynamically allocate imx-keypad devices
The mxc-keypad device seems to be the result of an early and partial
merge of the keypad driver.  It's unused and there is no corresponding
driver available, so just remove it.

d485c7e716 ARM: mx25: move registration of gpios to plat-mxc/gpio.c
To use common macros to define the gpio ports for imx{1,21,25,27} the
existing ones had to made more general and a few more base address defines
were necessary.

c194daad0e ARM: mx3/mach-pcm037_eet: Fix section mismatch for eet_init_devices()
This function should be marked as __init because it is used only

This fix the compiler warning:

 This is often because eet_init_devices lacks a __initconst

fc40d01919 ARM: imx: change the way flexcan devices are registered
Group soc specific data in a global struct instead of repeating it for each
call to imxXX_add_flexcanX.  The structs holding the actual data are placed
in .init.constdata and so don't do much harm.  Compared to the previous
approach this reduces code size to call imx_add_flexcan.

d911202e3f uml: define CONFIG_NO_DMA
I think that it's better to detect DMA misuse at build time rather than
calling BUG_ON.  Architectures that can't do DMA need to define
CONFIG_NO_DMA.

Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for explaining how CONFIG_NO_DMA and CONFIG_HAS_DMA
work:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128359913825550&w=2

HAS_DMA is defined like this:

config HAS_DMA
        boolean
        depends on !NO_DMA
        default y

So to set HAS_DMA to true an arch should do:
1) Do not define NO_DMA
2) Define NO_DMA abd set it to 'n'

Must archs - including um - used principle 1).

In the um case we want to say that we do NOT have any DMA.
This can be done in two ways.
a) define NO_DMA and set it to 'y'
b) redefine HAS_DMA and set it to 'n'.

The patch you provided used principle b) where other archs use principle a).
So I suggest you should use principle a) for um too.

98c532ecbe alpha: use single HAE window on T2 core logic (gamma, sable)
T2 are the only alpha SMP systems that do HAE switching at runtime, which
is fundamentally racy on SMP.  This patch limits MMIO space on T2 to HAE0
only, like we did on MCPCIA (rawhide) long ago.  This leaves us with only
112 Mb of PCI MMIO (128 Mb HAE aperture minus 16 Mb reserved for EISA),
but since linux PCI allocations are reasonably tight, it should be enough
for sane hardware configurations.

Also, fix a typo in MCPCIA_FROB_MMIO macro which shouldn't call set_hae()
if MCPCIA_ONE_HAE_WINDOW is defined.  It's more for correctness, as
set_hae() is a no-op anyway in that case.

d065bd810b mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer
This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.

It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.

It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.

Tests:

- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
  to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
  mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
  before, 15000 iterations/s after.

- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
  significant performance regressions when running without this change.
