Compile-testing drivers that require access to a firmware layer
fails when that firmware symbol is unavailable. This happened
twice this week:

 - My proposed to change to rework the QCOM_SCM firmware symbol
   broke on ppc64 and others.

 - The cs_dsp firmware patch added device specific firmware loader
   into drivers/firmware, which broke on the same set of
   architectures.

We should probably do the same thing for other subsystems as well,
but fix this one first as this is a dependency for other patches
getting merged.

Lightnvm supports the OCSSD 1.x and 2.0 specs which were early attempts
to produce Open Channel SSDs and never made it into the NVMe spec
proper.  They have since been superceeded by NVMe enhancements such
as ZNS support.  Remove the support per the deprecation schedule.

The comedi code came into the kernel back in 2008, but traces its
lifetime to much much earlier.  It's been polished and buffed and
there's really nothing preventing it from being part of the "real"
portion of the kernel.

So move it to drivers/comedi/ as it belongs there.

Many thanks to the hundreds of developers who did the work to make this
happen.

<title>cxl/mem: Introduce a driver for CXL-2.0-Type-3 endpoints</title>

<content type='text'>
The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System
RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory
was attached to the typical CPU memory controller.

With the CXL-2.0 specification a PCI endpoint can implement a "Type-3"
device interface and give the operating system control over "Host
Managed Device Memory". See section 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device.

The memory range exported by the device may optionally be described by
the platform firmware memory map, or by infrastructure like LIBNVDIMM to
provision persistent memory capacity from one, or more, CXL.mem devices.

A pre-requisite for Linux-managed memory-capacity provisioning is this
cxl_mem driver that can speak the mailbox protocol defined in section
8.2.8.4 Mailbox Registers.

For now just land the initial driver boiler-plate and Documentation/
infrastructure.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New tracing features:

   - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.

     The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and
     reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace
     file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to
     just disable writes to the ring buffer.

     This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost
     events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants
     to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace"
     that can be set.

   - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be
     traced by the function tracer.

     Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only
     trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid
     does the reverse.

   - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
     not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.

     Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note,
     sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be traced if one of
     the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed
     to be traced.

  Tracing related features:

   - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file.

     If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is
     searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end.

   - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get
     off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman)

  And other minor updates and fixes"

We have both vhost and virtio drivers that depend on vdpa.
It's easier to locate it at a top level directory otherwise
we run into issues e.g. if vhost is built-in but virtio
is modular.  Let's just move it up a level.

Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is
not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel
communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without
virtualization support from using vhost.

To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so
CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION.

While at it, also squash Kconfig.vringh into vhost Kconfig file. This
avoids the trick of conditional inclusion from VOP or CAIF. Then it
will be easier to introduce new vringh users and common dependency for
both vringh and vhost.

Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is
not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel
communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without
virtualization support from using vhost.

To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so
CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION.

While at it, also squash Kconfig.vringh into vhost Kconfig file. This
avoids the trick of conditional inclusion from VOP or CAIF. Then it
will be easier to introduce new vringh users and common dependency for
both vringh and vhost.

This patch moves the core module to the /drivers/most directory
and makes all necessary changes in order to not break the build.
