8251b4c481 [POWERPC] iSeries: Move viodasd probing
This way we only have entries in the device tree for disks that actually
exist.  A slight complication is that disks may be attached to LPARs
at runtime.

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

e730c15519 [NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safe
This patch modifies every packet receive function
registered with dev_add_pack() to drop packets if they
are not from the initial network namespace.

This should ensure that the various network stacks do
not receive packets in a anything but the initial network
namespace until the code has been converted and is ready
for them.

the 'size' argument is now redundant.  Remove it.

  advances bi_idx and bi_sector to track where it is up to.
   But it is only ever doing this on one bio, so the updated

  updates bi_size, but never uses the updated values, so
   this isn't needed.
  reuses bi_phys_segments to count how many iovecs have been
   completely.  As the completion happens sequentiually, we
   can store this information outside the bio too.

While debugging issues with the VDS server I made the
driver use partition 2 to get at the whole disk since
this is the "whole disk" partition in the Sun disk

We really should use slice 0xff which really means

No need to warn unregister_blkdev() failure by the callers.  (The previous
patch makes unregister_blkdev() print error message in error case)

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.
