<title>firmware_class: make request_firmware_nowait more useful</title>

Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware
that request_firmware_nowait() hands off, which is needed
in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to
free it (via release_firmware).

Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current
users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC
isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is
useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the
primary purpose of this change.

In HW UART mode the TxBD[READY] is not cleared by H/W (RISC engine) when
the user send characters to Tx buffer of QE UART.  So, these characters
stay on the QE forever, never go to UART line.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.

The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]).  The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

* 'genirq-v28-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (178 commits)
  genirq: improve include files
  intr_remapping: fix typo
  io_apic: make irq_mis_count available on 64-bit too
  genirq: fix name space collisions of nr_irqs in arch/*
  genirq: fix name space collision of nr_irqs in autoprobe.c
  genirq: use iterators for irq_desc loops
  proc: fixup irq iterator
  genirq: add reverse iterator for irq_desc
  x86: move ack_bad_irq() to irq.c
  x86: unify show_interrupts() and proc helpers
  x86: cleanup show_interrupts
  genirq: cleanup the sparseirq modifications
  genirq: remove artifacts from sparseirq removal
  genirq: revert dynarray
  genirq: remove irq_to_desc_alloc
  genirq: remove sparse irq code
  genirq: use inline function for irq_to_desc
  genirq: consolidate nr_irqs and for_each_irq_desc()
  x86: remove sparse irq from Kconfig
  genirq: define nr_irqs for architectures with GENERIC_HARDIRQS=n

Some drivers are using too generic "serial" name for driver_name, this
might cause issues, like this:

Freescale QUICC Engine UART device driver
proc_dir_entry 'serial' already registered
Call Trace:
[cf82de50] [c0007f7c] show_stack+0x4c/0x1ac (unreliable)

[cf82df20] [c0184d70] uart_register_driver+0x144/0x194

[cf82df50] [c02f21a0] kernel_init+0x98/0x27c
[cf82dff0] [c000fa74] kernel_thread+0x44/0x60

^^ The board is using ucc_uart.c and 8250.c, both registered as
   "serial".

This patch fixes two drivers that are using "serial" for driver_name and
not "ttyS" for dev_name.  Drivers that are using "ttyS" for dev_name, will
conflict anyway, so we don't bother with these.
