This makes balance_dirty_page() always base its calculations on the
amount of non-highmem memory in the machine, rather than try to base it
on total memory and then falling back on non-highmem memory if the
mapping it was writing wasn't highmem capable.
This not only fixes a situation where two different writers can have
wildly different notions about what is a "balanced" dirty state, but it
also means that people with highmem machines don't run into an OOM
situation when regular memory fills up with dirty pages.
We used to try to handle the latter case by scaling down the dirty_ratio
if the machine had a lot of highmem pages in page_writeback_init(), but
it wasn't aggressive enough for some situations, and since basing the
dirty ratio on highmem memory was broken in the first place, let's just
stop doing so.
(A variation of this theme fixed Justin Piszcz's OOM problem when
copying an 18GB file on a RAID setup).

The recent change for a new sysfs tree with card* object breaks the
/sys/class/sound tree if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled.
The device in each entry doesn't point the correct device object:
/sys/class/sound
...
|-- pcmC0D0c
| |-- dev
| |-- device -> ../../../class/sound/card0
| |-- pcm_class
| |-- power
| | `-- wakeup
| |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/sound
| `-- uevent
Also, this change breaks some drivers (like sound/arm/*) referring
card->dev directly to obtain the device object for memory handling.
This patch reverts the semantics of card->dev to the former version,
which points to a real device object. The card* object is stored in a
new card->card_dev field, instead. The device parent is chosen either
card->dev or card->card_dev according to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to
keep the tree compatibility.
Also, card* isn't created if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The
reason of card* object is a root of all beloing devices, and it makes
little sense if each sound device points to the real device object
directly.

This patch moves the code that handles SAS failures out of the main EH
function and into a separate function. It also detects commands that have
no sas_task (i.e. they completed, but with error data) and sends them into
scsi_error for processing. This allows us to handle SCSI errors (and
enables auto-spinup as a side effect) instead of dropping them on the
floor and falling into an infinite loop. It also requires the
implementation of a device reset function, which the SAS failure code has
been modified to employ for REQ_DEVICE_RESET.

sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport
layer and frees the sas_rphy. This can be broken down into two functions,
sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to
sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require
sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander).
In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects
of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of
sas_discover_root_expander.
This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev
to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS
devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition
where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call).
It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and
sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via
sas_get_port_device.
This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete.

Currently, sas_form_port checks the given asd_sas_phy's sas_phy to see if
there's already a port attached. If so, the SAS addresses of the port and
the phy are compared to determine if we need to detach from the port
because the addresses don't match or if we can stop; the SAS address stored
in the sas_port reflects whatever device _was_ attached to the port/phy, and
the SAS address stored in the sas_port reflects whatever device we just
discovered. As written, the code detaches from the port if the addresses
_do_ match, and prints an error if they do _not_ match. I believe this to
be incorrect, as it seems more logical to keep the port if the addresses
match (i.e. the phy was reset but the device didn't change), and detach it
they do not (i.e. the device changed).

Mirror the logic in the sun4u handler, we have to update
both registers even when we branch out to window fault
fixup handling.
The way it works is that if we are in etrap processing a
fault already, g4/g5 holds the original fault information.
If we take a window spill fault while doing etrap, then
we put the window spill fault info into g4/g5 and this is
what the top-level fault handler ends up processing first.
Then we retry the originally faulting instruction, and
process the original fault at that time.
This is all necessary because of how constrained the trap
registers are in these code paths. These cases trigger
very rarely, so even if there is some performance implication
it's doesn't happen very often. In fact the rarity is why
it took so long to trigger and find this particular bug.
