x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI quirks
We found a situation on Linus' machine that the Nvidia timer quirk hit on
a Intel chipset system. The problem is that the system has a fancy Nvidia
card with an own PCI bridge, and the early-quirks code looking for any
NVidia bridge triggered on it incorrectly. This didn't lead a boot
failure by luck, but the timer routing code selecting the wrong timer
first and some ugly messages. It might lead to real problems on other
systems.
I checked all the devices which are currently checked for by early_quirks
and it turns out they are all located in the root bus zero.
So change the early-quirks loop to only scan bus 0. This incidently also
saves quite some unnecessary scanning work, because early_quirks doesn't
go through all the non root busses.
The graphics card is not on bus 0, so it is not matched anymore.

block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup
and has the effect of killing my machine whenever I try to assemble
an md array :-(
One of the devices in the array has partitions, and mdadm always
deletes partitions before putting a whole-device in an array (as it
can cause confusion). The next IO to that device locks the machine.
I don't really understand exactly why it locks up, but it happens in
disk_map_sector_rcu(). This patch fixes it.
Which is due to a missing clear of the (now) stale partition lookup
data. So clear that when we delete a partition.

Btrfs: explicitly mark the tree log root for writeback
Each subvolume has an extent_state_tree used to mark metadata
that needs to be sent to disk while syncing the tree. This is
used in addition to the dirty bits on the pages themselves so that
a single subvolume can be sent to disk efficiently in disk order.
Normally this marking happens in btrfs_alloc_free_block, which also does
special recording of dirty tree blocks for the tree log roots.
Yan Zheng noticed that when the root of the log tree is allocated, it is added
to the wrong writeback list. The fix used here is to explicitly set

[S390] hvc_iucv: Special handling of IUCV HVC devices
This patch introduces special handling of the IUCV HVC console device.
If the first IUCV HVC terminal is used as (preferred) Linux console, and
needs some special handling for hangup.
The hvc_iucv_private structure contains a flag to indicate whether a IUCV
HVC device is used as a console.
A terminal acting as "console" behaves different if a tty hangup occurs:
If the iucv communication path is severed, a tty hangup is not
triggered (because the HVC layer does not notify its back-end in that case).
Instead, the console session is left unchanged and the IUCV HVC device is
reset to allow re-connects.
Note: Any output between the disconnect and a re-connect is discarded.

b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch
In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that
RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well.

ACPI: Avoid array address overflow when _CST MWAIT hint bits are set
The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT
hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.
On some boxes the following Cx state package is obtained from _CST object:
>{
ResourceTemplate ()
{
Register (FFixedHW,
0x01, // Bit Width
0x02, // Bit Offset
0x0000000000889759, // Address
0x03, // Access Size
)
},
0x03,
0xF5,
0x015E }
In such case we should use the bit[7:4] of Cx address to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.

GBLS and GBLL only differ in the clearing of the GHKS flag, so there is no need
to have two backlight level readouts. Also, per Peter Gruber, the need for the
BLNF check has disappeared.
As a result, cleanups can be made in the code. This has been tested on the both
the S6410 and the S6420 platforms and causes no functionality regressions, on
the console without X or within X. One module parameter to disable the hotkeys
is dropped, as we only ever took one codepath anyway.
