Pull IEEE 1394 (FireWire) subsystem updates post v3.3 from Stefan Richter:

 - Some SBP-2 initiator fixes, side product from ongoing work on a target.

 - Reintroduction of an isochronous I/O feature of the older ieee1394 driver
   stack (flush buffer completions); it was evidently rarely used but not
   actually unused.  Matching libraw1394 code is already available.

 - Be sure to prefix all kernel log messages with device name or card name,
   and other logging related cleanups.

 - Misc other small cleanups, among them a small API change that affects
   sound/firewire/ too. Clemens Ladisch is aware of it.

Extend the kernel and userspace APIs to allow reporting all currently
completed isochronous packets, even if the next interrupt packet has not
yet been reached.  This is required to determine the status of the
packets at the end of a paused or stopped stream, and useful for more
precise synchronization of audio streams.

<title>firewire: optimize iso queueing by setting wake only after the last packet</title>

<content type='text'>
When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two
MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit.  Because most
drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by
removing all but the last wakeup.

The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to
fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets.
The user space API does not change, so one call to
FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take
advantage of this optimization.

In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue
fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU,
or to one third at 800 MHz.

<title>firewire: octlet AT payloads can be stack-allocated</title>

<content type='text'>
We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e7e36
"firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads".

(Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2,
and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were
still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or
shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data.  snd-firewire-lib
got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the
8-byte transaction buffer.)

This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in
firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations.
Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because
there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers
anymore.  Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler.

<title>firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception</title>

<id>872e330e38806d835bd6c311c93ab998e2fb9058</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.

The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer.  This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack.  And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.

The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception:  Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.

These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature.  (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)

This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to.  OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.

The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason.
Thanks Jay.
