99ea7127a3 drm/i915: Let panel power sequencing hardware do its job
The panel power sequencing hardware tracks the stages of panel power
sequencing and signals when the panel is completely on or off. Instead
of blindly assuming the panel timings will work, poll the panel power
status register until it shows the correct values.

ea441d1104 new helper: mount_subtree()
takes vfsmount and relative path, does lookup within that vfsmount
(possibly triggering automounts) and returns the result as root
of subtree suitable for return by ->mount() (i.e. a reference to
dentry and an active reference to its superblock grabbed, superblock
locked exclusive).

btrfs and nfs switched to it instead of open-coding the sucker.

b1cb825662 sky2: reduce default Tx ring size
The default Tx ring size for the sky2 driver is quite large and could
cause excess buffer bloat for many users. The minimum ring size
possible and still allow handling  the worst case packet on 64bit platforms
is 38 which gets rounded up to a power of 2. But most packets only require
a couple of ring elements.

1401a8008a sky2: fix hang on shutdown (and other irq issues)
There are several problems with recent change to how IRQ's are setup.
   * synchronize_irq in sky2_shutdown would hang because there
     was no IRQ setup.
   * when device was set to down, some IRQ bits left enabled so a
     hardware error would produce IRQ with no handler
   * quick link on Optima chip set was enabled without handler
   * suspend/resume would leave IRQ on with no handler if device
     was down

9c69898783 encrypted-keys: module build fixes
Encrypted keys are encrypted/decrypted using either a trusted or
user-defined key type, which is referred to as the 'master' key.
The master key may be of type trusted iff the trusted key is
builtin or both the trusted key and encrypted keys are built as
modules.  This patch resolves the build dependency problem.

- Use "masterkey-$(CONFIG_TRUSTED_KEYS)-$(CONFIG_ENCRYPTED_KEYS)" construct
to encapsulate the above logic. (Suggested by Dimtry Kasatkin.)
- Fixing the encrypted-keys Makefile, results in a module name change
from encrypted.ko to encrypted-keys.ko.
- Add module dependency for request_trusted_key() definition

121f099412 bio: change some signed vars to unsigned
This is just a cleanup patch to silence a static checker warning.

The problem is that we cap "nr_iovecs" so it can't be larger than
"UIO_MAXIOV" but we don't check for negative values.  It turns out this is
prevented at other layers, but logically it doesn't make sense to have
negative nr_iovecs so making it unsigned is nicer.

3540d5e89b block: avoid unnecessary plug list flush
get_request_wait() could sleep and flush the plug list.  If the list is
already flushed, don't flush again.

0007a4c90a cciss: auto engage SCSI mid layer at driver load time
A long time ago, probably in 2002, one of the distros, or maybe more than
one, loaded block drivers prior to loading the SCSI mid layer.  This meant
that the cciss driver, being a block driver, could not engage the SCSI mid
layer at init time without panicking, and relied on being poked by a
userland program after the system was up (and the SCSI mid layer was
therefore present) to engage the SCSI mid layer.

This is no longer the case, and cciss can safely rely on the SCSI mid
layer being present at init time and engage the SCSI mid layer straight
away.  This means that users will see their tape drives and medium
changers at driver load time without need for a script in /etc/rc.d that
does this:

for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss*
do
	echo "engage scsi" > $x
done

However, if no tape drives or medium changers are detected, the SCSI mid
layer will not be engaged.  If a tape drive or medium change is later
hot-added to the system it will then be necessary to use the above script
or similar for the device(s) to be acceesible.

7035b5df3c loop: cleanup set_status interface
1) Anyone who has read access to loopdev has permission to call set_status
   and may change important parameters such as lo_offset, lo_sizelimit and
   so on, which contradicts to read access pattern and definitely equals
   to write access pattern.
2) Add lo_offset over i_size check to prevent blkdev_size overflow.
   ##Testcase_bagin
   #dd if=/dev/zero of=./file bs=1k count=1
   #losetup /dev/loop0 ./file
   /* userspace_application */
   struct loop_info64 loinf;
   fd = open("/dev/loop0", O_RDONLY);
   ioctl(fd, LOOP_GET_STATUS64, &loinf);
   /* Set offset to any value which is bigger than i_size, and sizelimit
    * to nonzero value*/
   loinf.lo_offset = 4096*1024;
   loinf.lo_sizelimit = 1024;
   ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_STATUS64, &loinf);
   /* After this loop device will have size similar to 0x7fffffffffxxxx */
   #blockdev --getsz /dev/loop0
