Add support for the Platform Facilities Option (PFO) to the VIO bus.
These devices have a separate root node in OpenFirmware which
requires additional parsing to map into the existing VIO device
structure fields. This adds the interface for PFO device drivers to
make synchronous hypervisor calls.

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
 "Short summary for the whole series:

  A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
  design and its implementations for various architectures.  There exist
  more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
  currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
  dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.

  For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
  interchanged.  For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
  (like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
  performance.  Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
  all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
  easily shared between different architectures.  The provided patches
  unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
  existing dma attributes concept.  The thread with more references is
  available here:

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html

  These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
  implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
  dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support.  More
  information is available in the following thread:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819

  More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
  area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
  the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
  "dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").

  The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
  (with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
  will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
  functions."

People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping:
  common: DMA-mapping: add NON-CONSISTENT attribute
  common: DMA-mapping: add WRITE_COMBINE attribute
  common: dma-mapping: introduce mmap method
  common: dma-mapping: remove old alloc_coherent and free_coherent methods

<title>PM: Drop generic_subsys_pm_ops</title>

<id>90363ddf0a1a4dccfbb8d0c10b8f488bc7fa69f8</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the PM core is now going to execute driver callbacks directly
if the corresponding subsystem callbacks are not present,
forward-only subsystem callbacks (i.e. such that only execute the
corresponding driver callbacks) are not necessary any more.  Thus
it is possible to remove generic_subsys_pm_ops, because the only
callback in there that is not forward-only, .runtime_idle, is not
really used by the only user of generic_subsys_pm_ops, which is
vio_bus_type.

However, the generic callback routines themselves cannot be removed
from generic_ops.c, because they are used individually by a number
of subsystems.

All these files were including module.h just for the basic
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.  We can shift them off to the
export.h header which is a way smaller footprint and thus
realize some compile time gains.

They get it via module.h (via device.h) but we want to clean that up.
When we do, we'll get things like:

ibmebus.c:314: error: 'S_IWUSR' undeclared here (not in a function)
vio.c:972: error: 'S_IWUSR' undeclared here (not in a function)

so add in the stat header it is using explicitly in advance.
