protected by DRM_LOCK(). Fixes panic on sysctl hw.dri when the device is
uninitialied (when you aren't in X).

locking, and the apparently unnecessary locking for -stable has been removed.
This may fix issues with missed interrupts since April, which manifested
themselves as slowdowns or hangs in radeon, in particular. Many cleanups also
took place. In the shared code, there are improvements to r128 driver
stability.
part of the support is that it still assumes one master and one target
where as AGP 3.0 actually supports multiple devices on the bus.

Until we can have perfect knowledge that all callers above us think it's okay
for us to sleep, releasing *our* locks of course, we don't dare try and sleep.
in connection with Marvell based SATA->PATA dongles.
The problem was caused by a combination of things working
together to make it hard to spot...
The ATA driver has always started the ATA command, then build
the SG list for DMA and then finally started the DMA engine.
While this is according to specs, it poses a potential
problem as some controllers apparently do not allow for unlimitted
time between starting the ATA command and starting the DMA engine.
At about the same time as ATAng was committed there were lots
of other changes applied, some of which was locking in parts
that causes the busdma load functions to take significantly
longer to load the SG list.
This pushed the time spent between starting the ATA command and
starting the DMA engine over the hill for some controllers
(especially the Silicon Image DS3112a) and caused what looked
like lost interrupts.
The solution is to get all the SG list work or rather all
busdma related stuff done before we even try to start anything.
This has the nice side effect of seperating busdma out the
way it should be, so the working of the ATA machinery is not
cluttered up with busdma droppings, making the code easier
to read and understand.

table, acquiring the necessary locks as it works. It usually returns
two references to the new descriptor: one in the descriptor table
and one via a pointer argument.
As falloc releases the FILEDESC lock before returning, there is a
potential for a process to close the reference in the file descriptor
table before falloc's caller gets to use the file. I don't think this
can happen in practice at the moment, because Giant indirectly protects
closes.
To stop the file being completly closed in this situation, this change
makes falloc set the refcount to two when both references are returned.
This makes life easier for several of falloc's callers, because the
first thing they previously did was grab an extra reference on the
file.

Use EP_{READ,WRITE}{,_MULTI}_{1,2,4} instead. I've had several people
submit patches like this over the years of varying qualities, markm
being the last. The names were chosen in consulation with mdodd on
irc.
I've tested this with only PCMCIA cards: 3CCE589EC and 3CCSH572BT.
I've not tried with my more extensive ISA, EISA and cbus collection.
