This driver was declared obsolete over 2 years ago, the alternative
console driver for legacy iSeries (hvc_iseries) was made the default
over 1 year ago and this driver has been build broken for over 3
months, so remove it.

<title>hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks</title>

<id>611e097d7707741a336a0677d9d69bec40f29f3d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.

In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)

The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).

I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp-&gt;ops.

Changes since last version:
o remove ifdef
o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
o cleanups, sparse..

I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
size constraints.

I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
the irq_requested element.

Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

Adds a character driver for BSR support on IBM POWER systems including
Power5 and Power6.  The BSR is an optional processor facility not currently
implemented by any other processors.  It's primary purpose is fast large SMP
synchronization.  More details on the BSR are in comments to the code which
follows.  This patch adds BSR driver to pseries_defconfig.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.

This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.

It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.

associated code and tables from the kernel, we can save about 7KiB.
