    power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL

Removed CAPACITY_LEVEL from every other code, leaving the array with sysfs
attributes with one more entry than the number of enums in power_supply.h.
This leads to some attributes containing the value of the attribute right
after it.  For example, temp_ambient would have the value of
time_to_empty_now.  In my case, I had time_to_full_avg have the value which
should be in model_name, when the former was usually empty.

This merges the mux.c (including the connection interface) with trans_fd
in preparation for transport API changes.  Ultimately, trans_fd will need
to be rewritten to clean it up and simplify the implementation, but this
reorganization is viewed as the first step.

Request from rusty:
Just cleaning up patches for 2.6.25 merge, and noticed that
net/9p/trans_virtio.c doesn't have a remove function.  This will crash when
removing the module (console doesn't have one because it can't really be
removed).

When booting from v9fs, down_interruptible in p9_idpool_get() triggered a BUG
as it was being called with IRQs disabled.  A spinlock seems like the right
thing to be using since the idr functions go out of their way not to sleep.

This patch eliminates the BUG by converting the semaphore to a spinlock.

on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT,
and highest_addr will always less 4G.

So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than
4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel.

The .rodata section really should just be read only; the config option
is there to make breaking up the 2Mb page an option (so people whos machines

This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret:

   commit 72fe4858
   Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>

       x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros

The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq
instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction.
It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing
its nearby use.  Removing it would have revealed the other use of the
label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising
the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this
subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.

Introduce CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK. If disabled then the kernel is free

Heap randomization breaks ancient binaries, so we keep COMPAT_BRK
enabled by default.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

There is a check in sys_brk(), that tries to make sure that we do not
underflow the area that is dedicated to brk heap.

The check is however wrong, as it assumes that brk area starts immediately
after the end of the code (+bss), which is wrong for example in
environments with randomized brk start. The proper way is to check whether
the address is not below the start_brk address.

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In very rare cases, on certain CPUs, we could end up in the spurious
fault handler and ignore a large pud/pmd mapping. The resulting pte
pointer points into the mapped physical space and dereferencing it
will fault recursively.
