cciss: auto engage SCSI mid layer at driver load time
A long time ago, probably in 2002, one of the distros, or maybe more than
one, loaded block drivers prior to loading the SCSI mid layer. This meant
that the cciss driver, being a block driver, could not engage the SCSI mid
layer at init time without panicking, and relied on being poked by a
userland program after the system was up (and the SCSI mid layer was
therefore present) to engage the SCSI mid layer.
This is no longer the case, and cciss can safely rely on the SCSI mid
layer being present at init time and engage the SCSI mid layer straight
away. This means that users will see their tape drives and medium
changers at driver load time without need for a script in /etc/rc.d that
does this:
for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss*
do
echo "engage scsi" > $x
done
However, if no tape drives or medium changers are detected, the SCSI mid
layer will not be engaged. If a tape drive or medium change is later
hot-added to the system it will then be necessary to use the above script
or similar for the device(s) to be acceesible.

aware of the issue. Across system calls, several registers are
considered volatile and can be safely clobbered.
Therefore we use the pt_regs save area of one of those registers, %g2,
as a place to save and restore orig_i0.
Debuggers transparently will do the right thing because they save and
restore this register already.

PM / devfreq: fix use after free in devfreq_remove_device
In devfreq_remove_device, calling _remove_devfreq will also free devfreq.
Don't dereference devfreq->governor->no_central_polling after _remove_devfreq.
PM / shmobile: Avoid restoring the INTCS state during initialization
The SH7372 PM domain initialization routine calls pd_power_up()
that executes the domain's .resume() callback, if present, and for
the A4R domain this callback attepmts to restore the INTCS state from
uninitialized data. To avoid that, introduce __pd_power_up() that
will only execute the domain's .resume() callback if its second
argument is 'true' and make the SH7372 PM domain initialization
use it with 'false' as its second argument. Redefine pd_power_up()
as a wrapper around __pd_power_up().
