The other side (host) can set the NO_NOTIFY flag as an optimization,
to say "no need to kick me when you add things". Make it clear that
this is advisory only; especially that we should always notify when
the ring is full.

Using unsigned int resulted in silent truncation of the upper 32-bit
on x86_64 resulting in an OOPS since the ring was being initialized
wrong.
Please reconsider my previous patch to just use PAGE_ALIGN(). Open
coding this sort of stuff, no matter how simple it seems, is just
asking for this sort of trouble.

Various drivers want to know when their configuration information
changes: the balloon driver is the immediate user, but the network
driver may one day have a "carrier" status as well.
This introduces that callback (lguest doesn't use it yet).

It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.
Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
now returns void, rather than a boolean.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.
The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

Use it in virtio_net (replacing buggy version there), it's also going
to be used by TAP for partial csum support.

fcntl(F_GETLK,..) can return pid of process for not current pid namespace
(if process is belonged to the several namespaces). It is true also for
pids in /proc/locks. So correct behavior is saving pointer to the struct
pid of the process lock owner.

interruptible_sleep_on_locked() is just an open-coded
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), with the one difference that
interruptible_sleep_on_locked() doesn't bother to check the condition on
which it is waiting, depending instead on the BKL to avoid the case
where it blocks after the wakeup has already been called.
locks_block_on_timeout() is only used in one place, so it's actually
simpler to inline it into its caller.

For such a short function (with such a long comment),
posix_locks_deadlock() seems to cause a lot of confusion. Attempt to
make it a bit clearer:
- Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never
pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and
caller_fl conflict)
- Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto.
- Rewrite the comment, attempting a clearer explanation, and
removing some uninteresting historical detail.

Building the aic7xxx driver includes the copy
of an .h file from a _shipped file.
In a highly parallel build Ingo saw that the
build sometimes failed (included distcc usage).
It was tracked down to a missing dependency from the .c
source file to the generated .h file.
We started to build the .c file before the
copy (cat) operation of the .h file completed
and we then only got half of the definitions
from the copied .h file.
Add an explicit dependency from the .c files to the
generated .h files so make knows all dependencies and
finsih the build of the .h files before it starts
building the .o files.
Ingo tested this fix and reported:
good news: hundreds of successful kernel builds and no failures
overnight.

I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs
This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).
This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.
