<title>ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.</title>

<id>b881bc469bdbdcca60e75047885509eb9886d3a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Just get %icc2 into the state we would have after local_irq_disable()
and physical IRQ having happened since then.  Then we can simply
use preempt_schedule_irq() and be done with the whole mess.

<title>FRV: Fix the new-style kernel_thread() stuff</title>

The kernel_thread() changes for FRV don't work, and FRV fails to boot,
starting with:

	commit 02ce496f152df87be081a64796498942c433a2fd
	Author: Al Viro &lt;viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk&gt;
	Date:   Tue Sep 18 22:18:51 2012 -0400
	Subject: frv: split ret_from_fork, simplify kernel_thread() a lot

The problem is that the userspace registers are completely cleared when a
kernel thread is created and all subsequent user threads are then copied from
that.  Unfortunately, however, the TBR and PSR registers are restored from the
pt_regs and the values they should be set to are clobbered by the memset.

Instead, copy across the old user registers as normal, and then merely alter
GR8 and GR9 in it if we're going to execute a kernel thread.

<content type='text'>
Fix the preemption handling in FRV code where the PREEMPT_ACTIVE value is
incorrectly loaded into the threadinfo flags rather than the threadinfo
preemption count.

Unfortunately, the code cannot be simply converted to use
preempt_schedule_irq() as is because FRV uses virtual interrupt disablement to
cut down on the cost of actually disabling interrupts and thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't actually enable interrupts.
