Merge commit 'v2.6.30-rc1' into perfcounters/core

Conflicts:
	arch/powerpc/include/asm/systbl.h
	arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h
	include/linux/init_task.h

Merge reason: the conflicts are non-trivial: PowerPC placement
              of sys_perf_counter_open has to be mixed with the
	      new preadv/pwrite syscalls.

+This document describes m[g]flash support in linux.

+Contents
+  1. Overview
+  2. Reserved area configuration
+  3. Example of mflash platform driver registration
+
+1. Overview
+
+Mflash and gflash are embedded flash drive. The only difference is mflash is
+MCP(Multi Chip Package) device. These two device operate exactly same way.
+So the rest mflash repersents mflash and gflash altogether.
+
+Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports
+2 different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new
+driver and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's
+one chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
+IDE interface.
+
+Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
+A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
+write confirm)
+B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
+C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.
+
+2. Reserved area configuration
+If host boot from mflash, usually needs raw area for boot loader image. All of
+the mflash's block device operation will be taken this value as start offset.
+Note that boot loader's size of reserved area and kernel configuration value
+must be same.
+
+3. Example of mflash platform driver registration
+Working mflash is very straight forward. Adding platform device stuff to board
+configuration file is all. Here is some pseudo example.
+
+static struct mg_drv_data mflash_drv_data = {
+	/* If you want to polling driver set to 1 */
+	.use_polling = 0,
+	/* device attribution */
+	.dev_attr = MG_BOOT_DEV
+};
+
+static struct resource mg_mflash_rsc[] = {
+	/* Base address of mflash */
+	[0] = {
+		.start = 0x08000000,
+		.end = 0x08000000 + SZ_64K - 1,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM
+	},
+	/* mflash interrupt pin */
+	[1] = {
+		.start = IRQ_GPIO(84),
+		.end = IRQ_GPIO(84),
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ
+	},
+	/* mflash reset pin */
+	[2] = {
+		.start = 43,
+		.end = 43,
+		.name = MG_RST_PIN,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_IO
+	},
+	/* mflash reset-out pin
+	 * If you use mflash as storage device (i.e. other than MG_BOOT_DEV),
+	 * should assign this */
+	[3] = {
+		.start = 51,
+		.end = 51,
+		.name = MG_RSTOUT_PIN,
+		.flags = IORESOURCE_IO
+	}
+};
+
+static struct platform_device mflash_dev = {
+	.name = MG_DEV_NAME,
+	.id = -1,
+	.dev = {
+		.platform_data = &mflash_drv_data,
+	},
+	.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(mg_mflash_rsc),
+	.resource = mg_mflash_rsc
+};
