<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>ata: libata-eh: Simplify reset operation management</title>

<id>a4daf088a77323154514eb1f8626bbdf9329cfd4</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce struct ata_reset_operations to aggregate in a single structure
the definitions of the 4 reset methods (prereset, softreset, hardreset
and postreset) for a port. This new structure is used in struct ata_port
to define the reset methods for a regular port (reset field) and for a
port-multiplier port (pmp_reset field). A pointer to either of these
fields replaces the 4 reset method arguments passed to ata_eh_recover()
and ata_eh_reset().

The definition of the reset methods for all drivers is changed to use
the reset and pmp_reset fields in struct ata_port_operations.

A large number of files is modifed, but no functional changes are
introduced.

'devmodel' hasn't actually been used since:

the flag.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the pata_parport_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

fit3 protocol driver does not support accessing IDE control registers
(device control/altstatus). The DOS driver does not use these registers
either (as observed from DOSEMU trace). But the HW seems to be capable
of accessing these registers - I simply tried bit 3 and it works!

The control register is required to properly reset ATAPI devices or
they will be detected only once (after a power cycle).

Tested with EXP Computer CD-865 with MC-1285B EPP cable and
TransDisk 3000.

<content type='text'>
Some parallel adapters (e.g. EXP Computer MC-1285B EPP Cable) return
bogus values when there's no master device present. This can cause
reset to fail, preventing the lone slave device (such as EXP Computer
CD-865) from working.

Add custom version of wait_after_reset that ignores master failure when
a slave device is present. The custom version is also needed because
the generic ata_sff_wait_after_reset uses direct port I/O for slave
device detection.
