This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big pull request for char/misc drivers for 4.16-rc1.

  There's a lot of stuff in here. Three new driver subsystems were added
  for various types of hardware busses:

   - siox
   - slimbus
   - soundwire

  as well as a new vboxguest subsystem for the VirtualBox hypervisor
  drivers.

  There's also big updates from the FPGA subsystem, lots of Android
  binder fixes, the usual handful of hyper-v updates, and lots of other
  smaller driver updates.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, with no reported
  issues"

In commit 72d146578950 ("uio_hv_generic: fix type mismatch warnings"),
I addressed some warnings that show up with CONFIG_X86_PAE, now a new
change has added more of the same:

drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c: In function 'hv_uio_probe':
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:205:5: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:225:5: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]

The fix is the same as before, casting to uintptr_t as an intermediate.

I moved the virt_to_phys() conversion into hv_uio_probe() as part of
a warning fix. Stephen's cleanup to remove the private mmap() function
seems reasonable, but part of it reverted the change that I did to
hide the warnings, so they are back now:

drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c: In function 'hv_uio_probe':
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:123:5: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:130:5: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
drivers/uio/uio_hv_generic.c:136:5: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]

The type mismatch is now the result of the uio_mmap() definition, and
the best way I see from here is to shut them up with a uintptr_t cast.

When host rescinds the device, the UIO driver will clear the interrupt
state and notify application. The read (or write) on the interrupt FD
will then fail with -EIO. This is simpler than adding lots extra uevent
stuff inside UIO.
