This will control whether we build firmware into the kernel image for
_every_ driver which we convert to request_firmware(), to avoid a
proliferation of 'CONFIG_XXX_FIRMWARE' options for each one.
Default to 'y' for now, which is the wrong thing to do but people seem
to be insisting on it and refusing to even review patches until it's
done. And it does preserve the existing behaviour for built-in drivers.

This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to
be alive.
(Updated and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR added with lots of help from
Johannes Berg).

Some drivers have their own hacks to bypass the kernel's firmware loader
and build their firmware into the kernel; this renders those unnecessary.
Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always
want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the
firmware loader.
A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be
used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd.
This allows them to work in a static kernel.

In preparation for supporting firmware files linked into the static
kernel, make fw->data const to ensure that users aren't modifying it (so
that we can pass a pointer to the original in-kernel copy, rather than
having to copy it).

The change to iwch_provider.c in commit f4e91eb4 ("IB: convert struct
class_device to struct device") undid the fix done in commit 7f049f2f
("RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call"). It
removed the calls to rtnl_lock() that serialized the iw_cxgb3 ethtool
ops calls into the cxgb3 driver. This locking is needed to avoid
messing up the internal state of the cxgb3 driver.

The driver uses completely bogus rounding formula for calculating period from
the IDECLK frequency which gives one-off period values (e.g. 11 ns with 100 MHz
IDECLK) which in turn can lead to overclocked IDE transfer timings. Actually,
rounding is just wrong in this case, so use a mere division for a safe result.
While at it, also:
- give 'ide_palm_clk' variable a more suitable name;
- get rid of the useless 'ideclkp' variable;
- drop the LISP stype 'p' postfix from the 'clkp' variable's name. :-)

Add __ide_default_irq() inline helper and use it instead of
ide_default_irq() in ide-probe.c and ns87415.c (all host drivers
except IDE PCI ones always setup hwif->irq so it is enough to
check only for I/O bases 0x1f0 and 0x170).
This fixes post-2.6.25 regression since ide_default_irq()
define could shadow ide_default_irq() inline.

The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused
the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when
card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary.
For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to
pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if
this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the
have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

This reverts commit e872154921.
Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for
him when loading the OHCI driver. Extensive netconsole capture with
SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data()
when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236
for an analysis.
The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit
that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things
work for him again.

Commit ea0c62f7cf tried to clear all
bits in irq_stat but it didn't actually achieve that as irq_stat was
anded with port_map right after read. This patch makes ahci driver
always use the unmasked value to clear irq_status.
While at it, add explanation on the peculiarities of ahci IRQ
clearing.
