Since there's no longer any external user, we can make __ide_end_request()
static.

<title>[PATCH] stop CompactFlash devices being marked as removable</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch stops CompactFlash devices being marked as removable.  They are
not removable (as defined by Linux) as the media and device are
inseparable.  When a card is removed, the whole device is removed from the
system and never sits in a media-less state.

This stops some nasty udev device creation/destruction loops.

Further, once this change is made, there is no need for ide to can be
removed from ide_drive_t.

There's a problem with the REQ_BLOCK_PC handling as well (bad -&gt;data_len
handling) where it could actually complete a request ahead of time.  I
suggest we just back this out for now, I will resubmit it later when I'm
fully confident in it.

The patch changes semaphores that are initialized as
locked to complete().

Source: MontaVista Software, Inc.

Modified-by: Steven Rostedt &lt;rostedt@goodmis.org&gt;

The following patch is from Montavista.  I modified it slightly.
Semaphores are currently being used where it makes more sense for
completions.  This patch corrects that.

This patch makes IDE use the new blk_complete_request() interface.
There's still room for improvement, as __ide_end_request() really
could drop the lock after getting HWGROUP-&gt;rq (why does it need to
hold it in the first place? If -&gt;rq access isn't serialized, we are
screwed anyways).

____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures
and avoid false sharing.  It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find
L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless.

However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align
structures on the internode cacheline size.  As per Andi's suggestion,
following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces
INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches.
Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define
INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h.  Patch replaces
____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp

With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed
