MISC_DEVICES isn't enabled anymore by default. So all defconfigs that
have CONFIG_SOME_SYMBOL=y (or =m) (with SOME_SYMBOL depending on
MISC_DEVICES) but not CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y suffer from the same
problem.
This restores those misc devices to the powerpc defconfigs.
carl9170: Fix tx aggregation problems with some clients
Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a
BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.
This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).
After new NetworkManager 0.8.996 changes, hardware scanning is causing
microcode errors as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683571
and sometimes kernel crashes:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688252
Also with hw scan there are very bad performance on some systems
as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671366
Since Intel no longer supports 3945, there is no chance to get proper
firmware fixes, we need workaround problems by disable hardware scanning
by default.

fs: don't use igrab() while holding i_lock
Fix the incorrect use of igrab() inside the i_lock in NFS and Ceph‥
If we are already holding the i_lock, we have a reference to the
inode so we can safely use ihold() to gain an extra reference. This
avoids hangs due to lock recursion on the i_lock now that the
inode_lock is gone and igrab() uses the i_lock itself.

sparc: Use the new genirq functionality
Make use of the new features in genirq:
1) Set the chip flag IRCHIP_EOI_IF_HANDLED, which ensures in the
core code that irq_eoi() is only called when the interrupt was
handled. That removes the extra status check in the callback.
2) Use the preflow handler, which is called from the fasteoi core code
before the device handler. That avoids another status check and the
open coded handler redirection.
