Remove includes of asm/hardware.h in addition to asm/arch/hardware.h.
Then, since asm/hardware.h only exists to include asm/arch/hardware.h,
update everything to directly include asm/arch/hardware.h and remove

Drivers do this to try to break out of the -&gt;poll()'ing loop
when the device is being brought administratively down.

Now that we have a napi_disable() "pending" state we are going
to solve that problem generically.

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

<title>[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.</title>

<id>bea3348eef27e6044b6161fd04c3152215f96411</id>
<content type='text'>
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.

In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.

The signature of the -&gt;poll() call back goes from:

	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

to

	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev-&gt;quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's -&gt;stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

[ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.  Integrated
  Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
  handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues.  -DaveM ]

It hasn't "summed" anything in over 7 years, and it's
just a straight mempcy ala skb_copy_to_linear_data()
so just get rid of it.

In 7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5 David Howells performed
this evolution:
 "IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers"

He correctly updated many of the function definitions that were using this
extra regs pointer parameter but forgot to update some caller sites of
those functions.  The reason the modifications was not properly done on all
drivers is that some drivers were rarely compiled because they are for
AMIGA, or that some code sites were inside #ifdefs where the option is not
set or inside #if 0.

Here is the semantic patch that found the occurences
and fixed the problem.
