x86, apic: Introduce .apicdrivers section to find the list of apic drivers
This will pave the way for each apic driver to be self-contained
and eliminate the need for apic_probe[].
Order in which apic drivers are listed in the .apicdrivers
section is important, as this determines the apic probe order.
And this is enforced by the ordering of apic driver files in the
Makefile and the macros apic_driver()/apic_drivers().

ASoC: core: Don't set "(null)" as a driver name
Commit 22de71b ("ASoC: core - allow ASoC more flexible machine name")
writes "(null)" to driver name string in struct snd_card if card->driver_name
is NULL. This causes segmentation faults with some user space ALSA utilities
like aplay and arecord.
Fix this by using the card->name if no driver name is specified.
Better handle event parsing error by propagating the details
in upper layers or by dumping some failure message. So that
the user knows he has some crazy events in the batch.

PCI: update bridge resources to get more big ranges when allocating space (again)
With Ram's fixes, this should be safe to do again. So let's give it
another try.
BIOS separates IO ranges between several IOHs, and on some slots, BIOS
assigns resources to a bridge, but stops assigning resources to the
device under that bridge, because the device needs a big resource.
So:
1. allocate resources and record the failed device resources
2. clear the BIOS assigned resources of the parent bridge of failing device
3. go back and call pci assign unassigned
4. if it still fails, go up the tree, clear more bridges. and try again
Now Ram's allocate requested resource already got into mainline. could
put this one again.

x86/PCI: derive pcibios_last_bus from ACPI MCFG
On various newer Intel systems the PCI bus(ses) the non-core devices

GFS2: Wipe directory hash table metadata when deallocating a directory
The deallocation code for directories in GFS2 is largely divided into
two parts. The first part deallocates any directory leaf blocks and
marks the directory as being a regular file when that is complete. The
second stage was identical to deallocating regular files.
Regular files have their data blocks in a different
address space to directories, and thus what would have been normal data
blocks in a regular file (the hash table in a GFS2 directory) were
deallocated correctly. However, a reference to these blocks was left in the
journal (assuming of course that some previous activity had resulted in
those blocks being in the journal or ail list).
This patch uses the i_depth as a test of whether the inode is an
exhash directory (we cannot test the inode type as that has already
been changed to a regular file at this stage in deallocation)
The original issue was reported by Chris Hertel as an issue he encountered
running bonnie++
The output of possible hardware or software errors does not depend on the
option GSPCA_DEBUG. This one is useful only when working on the main driver
or on a subdriver (bug fix, enhancement, new webcam/bridge/sensor or bug fix).
It is enabled in the gspca test version which is available from my web site.
The USB traces are better done by usbmon which is enabled in most Linux/GNU
distributions and which permits easier comparison with the USB exchanges of
other drivers.
The helper chips are classified by their function. Unfortunaltely,
with time, developers added their stuff into the wrong places.
Fix it by moving itens to be at the right place. Also add a new
category for sensors and for misc devices that are found only on
a certain specific board.
