This patch reduces the number of sequential pointer derefs in
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c
This has been submitted a number of times over a couple of years. I
believe this version adresses all comments it has gathered over time.
Please apply or reject with a reason.
The benefits are:
- makes the code easier to read. Lots of sequential derefs of the same
pointers is not easy on the eye.
- theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can
allow the compiler to generally slightly faster code, so in theory
this could also be a micro speed optimization.
- reduces size of object file (tiny effect: on x86-64, in at least one
configuration, the text size decreased from 9439 bytes to 9400)
- removes some pointless (mostly trailing) whitespace.

Remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support that was previously added by
commit e3a1938805d2e81b27d3d348788644f3bad004f2
A serious issue with the incorrect G200eV support that reproduces on the
Matrox G200eV equipped IBM x3650 M2 is the total lack of text (login
banner, login prompt, etc) on the console when X is not running and
total lack of text on all of the virtual consoles after X is started.
Any concerns that the incorrect code (upstream since October 2008) has
been successfully used on non-IBM G200eV equipped system(s) appear to be
unwarranted. In addition to the serious/non-intermittent nature of
issues that have been spotted on IBM systems, complete removal of the
incorrect code is clearly supported by the following Matrox (Yannick
Heneault) provided input:
"It impossible that this patch should have work on a system.
The patch only declare the G200eV as a regular G200 which is
not case. Many registers are different, including at least the
PLL programming sequence. If the G200eV is programmed like a
regular G200, it will not display anything."
v1 - Initial patch that removed the incorrect code for _all_
G200eV equipped systems.
v2 - Darrick Wong provided patch that blacklisted the incorrect
code on G200eV equipped IBM systems leaving it enabled on
all G200eV equipped non-IBM systems.
v3 - Same code changes included with v1 plus additional
justification for complete removal of the incorrect code.

Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.
Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.
Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.
So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out
there that might depend on using other si_code values.

SMSC SCH5627 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
capabilities. They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8
temperatures.
The hardware monitoring part of the SMSC SCH5627 is accessed by talking
through an embedded microcontroller. An application note describing the
protocol for communicating with the microcontroller is available upon
request. Please mail me if you want a copy.

Make the LM75/LM75A device detection faster:
* Don't read the current temperature value when we don't use it.
* Check for unused bits in the configuration register as soon as we
have read its value.
* Don't use word reads, not all devices support this, and some which
don't misbehave when you try.
* Check for cycling register values every 40 register addresses
instead of every 8, it's 5 times faster and just as efficient.
Some of these improvements come straight from the user-space
sensors-detect script, so both detection routines are in line now.

I suspect that the "lis3lv02d" driver name is a legacy from before
the split into several modules. Use a specific name for the hp_accel
driver, for better error messages and easier investigation of issues.

The lis3lv02d drivers aren't hardware monitoring drivers, so the don't
belong to drivers/hwmon. Move them to drivers/misc, short of a better

The hp_accel driver isn't a hardware monitoring driver, so it doesn't
belong to drivers/hwmon. Move it to drivers/platform/x86, assuming HP
doesn't ship non-x86 laptops.

The dependencies between the various lis3lv02d drivers make it
impossible to split them to different directories, while we really
want to do this. Move handling of dependencies from Makefile to
Kconfig, to make the move possible at all.

An integer overflow occurs in the calculation of RHlinear when the
relative humidity is greater than around 30%. The consequence is a subtle
