Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro  - Linus ]

<title>ahci: Store irq number in struct ahci_host_priv</title>

Currently, ahci supports only msi and intx. To also support msix the
handling of the irq number need to be changed. The irq number for msix
devices is taken from msi_list instead of pci_dev. Thus, the irq
number of a device needs to be stored in struct ahci_host_priv now.
This allows the host controller to be activated in a generic way.

This change is only intended for ahci drivers. For that reason the irq
number is stored in struct ahci_host_priv used only by ahci drivers.
Thus, the ABI changes only for ahci_host_activate(), but existing ata
drivers (about 50) are unaffected and keep unchanged. All users of
ahci_host_activate() have been updated.

While touching drivers/ata/libahci.c, doing a small code cleanup in
ahci_port_start().

This patch moves force_port_map and mask_port_map into the
ahci_host_priv structure. This allows to modify them into the AHCI
framework. This is needed by the new dt bindings representing ports as
the port_map mask is computed automatically.

Parameters modifying force_port_map, mask_port_map and flags have been
removed from the ahci_platform_init_host() function, and inputs in the
ahci_host_priv structure are now directly filed.

Allwinner A10 and A20 ARM SoCs have an AHCI sata controller which needs a
special register to be poked before starting the DMA engine.

This register gets reset on an ahci_stop_engine call, so there is no other
place then ahci_start_engine where this poking can be done.

This commit allows drivers to override ahci_start_engine behavior for use by
the Allwinner AHCI driver (and potentially other drivers in the future).

The original code used the wrong parameter to clear tx_atten[].  It
passed the number of elements instead of sizeof() the array to memset.

The other potential issue was that cphy_base[] wasn't cleared.  I'm not
sure if that was a real problem or not, but I have cleared it in my
patch.

Instead of using memset(), this patch uses empty initializers as a
cleanup.
