IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.7-rc1

This time the IOMMU updates contain a bunch of fixes and cleanups to
various IOMMU drivers and the DMA debug code. New features are the
code for IRQ remapping support with the AMD IOMMU (preperation for that
was already merged in the last release) and a debugfs interface to
export some statistics in the NVidia Tegra IOMMU driver.

  and MTU2 clock event devices (also used by ARM/shmobile).

  domain objects lookup using names.

* ARM/shmobile power management updates including improved support for the
  SH7372's A4S power domain containing the CPU core.

* cpufreq changes related to AMD CPUs support from Matthew Garrett, Andre
  Przywara and Borislav Petkov.

* cpu0 cpufreq driver from Shawn Guo.

* cpufreq governor fixes related to the relaxing of limit from Michal Pecio.

* OMAP cpufreq updates from Axel Lin and Richard Zhao.

* cpuidle ladder governor fixes related to the disabling of states from
  Carsten Emde and me.

* Runtime PM core updates related to the interactions with the system suspend
  core from Alan Stern and Kevin Hilman.

* Wakeup sources modification allowing more helper functions to be called from
  interrupt context from John Stultz and additional diagnostic code from Todd
  Poynor.

* System suspend error code path fix from Feng Hong.

Staging tree update for 3.7-rc1

Here is the big staging tree update for the 3.7-rc1 merge window.

There are a few patches in here that are outside of the staging area,
namely HID and IIO patches, but all of them have been acked by the
relevant subsystem maintainers.  The IIO stuff is still coming in
through this tree as it hasn't entirely moved out of the staging tree,
but is almost there.

Other than that, there wa a ton of work on the comedi drivers to make
them more readable and the correct style.  Doing that removed a lot of
code, but we added a new driver to the staging tree, so we didn't end up
with a net reduction this time around:
 662 files changed, 51649 insertions(+), 26582 deletions(-)

All of these patches have been in the linux-next tree already.

Linux 3.6

IOMMU fixes for Linux v3.6-rc7

Two small patches:

	* One patch to fix the function declarations for
	  !CONFIG_IOMMU_API. This is causing build errors
	  in linux-next and should be fixed for v3.6.

	* Another patch to fix an IOMMU group related NULL pointer
	  dereference.

regulator: Bypass mode support

Allow regulators to be put into a non-regulating mode bypassing the
input straight to the output, mostly used by low power retention modes.

Linux 3.6-rc7

Fifth round of new drivers and device support for the IIO
subsystem in the 3.7 cycle.

Here we have a mixed bag of new stuff, minor fixes and
more major fixes for drivers added earlier in this cycle.

1) A number of fixes for the HID sensors code added in previous
pull request.  Typical stuff that has become apparent as more eyes
have looked at the code post merging. Similar case for the ad5755 dac.

2) Cleanups of error handing in inkern.c - again typical stuff to see
as code comes into heavier use and people notice the naughty short
cuts that snuck in originally and kindly fix them.

3) A series from Lars that removes some incorrect error handling
from the remove functions of a number of drivers.  These have been
there for a very long time hence I'm not pushing these out for the
3.6 cycle.

4) Support for more parts in the ad7780 driver.

5) A driver for the adcs on the lp8788 power management unit

6) A client driver for IIO to allow it's ADCs to be used for
battery status measurement.  Note this driver has some dependencies
on some utility functions added to IIO in this series, hence it is
coming via this tree rather than Anton's.

7) A null pointer dereference bug in the 'fake' driver. I'm not
doing this as a fix for the 3.6 cycle because it only effects
'fake' hardware and that code is typically only used by people
investigating how IIO works as part of writing new drivers. Hence
it's hardly a critical fix.

VFIO doc update and virqfd race fix

This is the 3.2.30 stable release

IIO new drivers, features and rework for the 3.7 cycle, 4th set.

Here we have

1) a set cleaning up and moving the ad7476 driver out of staging.
Support for a number of additional parts is also added to that driver.

2) cleanups from various people for the in kernel interface code as that
is getting more an more real use and hence people are picking up on
minor issues that made it through review.  Also a related useful set
of utility functions to avoid duplicate code for converting IIO
representations to other forms.

3) a new fractional type for our read_raw / write_raw functions.
  This allows avoiding loss of accuracy via the in kernel interfaces in some
  cases as well as being rather convenient for a lot of range -> scale
  conversions.

4) New AD5755 DAC driver.

5) Some Blackfin timer trigger improvements including hardware pulse control
for device triggering.

6) Support for the ad7091r in the ad7476 driver.
