Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in
drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE.
It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout:
secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second
PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the
generic quirk routine assumes.

Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
about static functions and objects being referenced from
non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
with our -Werror.
We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
So
- just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
functions are also "extern inline";
- use "static inline", wherever it's possible.
traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array
bounds-checking.
TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline"
functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following
error:
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o:
defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4
versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3.
The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function
exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section
for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to
discarded section.
Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables.
Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem,
other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with
a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced
on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider
-fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit
displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in
modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G.
The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable
using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation.
I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't
work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

This replaces the use of the BKL in the FAT family of filesystems with the
existing superblock lock instead.
The code already appears to do mostly proper locking with its own private
spinlocks (and mutexes), but while the BKL could possibly have been
dropped entirely, converting it to use the superblock lock (which is just
a regular mutex) is the conservative thing to do.
As a per-filesystem mutex, it not only won't have any of the possible
latency issues related to the BKL, but the lock is obviously private to
the particular filesystem instance and will thus not cause problems for
entirely unrelated users like the BKL can.

All in-kernel char device open() functions now either have their own
lock_kernel() calls or clearly do not need one.

All of the open() functions which don't need the BKL on their face may
still depend on its acquisition to serialize opens against driver
initialization. So make those functions acquire then release the BKL to be
on the safe side.

A number of driver functions are so obviously trivial that they do not need
the big kernel lock - at least not overtly. It turns out that the
acquisition of the BKL in driver open() functions can perform a sort of
poor-hacker's serialization function, delaying the open operation until the
driver is certain to have completed its initialization. Add a simple
cycle_kernel_lock() function for these cases to make it clear that there is
no need to *hold* the BKL, just to be sure that we can acquire it.

Put explicit lock_kernel() calls into videodev_open(). That function
itself seems OK, but one never knows about all the open() functions
provided by underlying video drivers.
