Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
boot.  This can prevent systems booting properly.

There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
booted.

So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
the kernel command line.

Introduce kernel parameter acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable

some laptop requires SCI_EN being set directly on resume,
or else they hung somewhere in the resume code path.

We already have a blacklist for these laptops but we still need
this option, especially when debugging some suspend/resume problems,
in case there are systems that need this workaround and are not yet
in the blacklist.

For embedded systems, the blinking cursor at startup time can be annoying

shape.

  names can stay the same across omap generations for some
  devices

- Map mux registers to GPIO registers that is needed for
  dynamic muxing of pins during off-idle

- Override bootloader mux values via kernel cmdline using
  omap_mux=some.signa1=0x1234,some.signal2=0x1234

- View and set the mux registers via debugfs if
  CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled

This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are
pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data.  The information
they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense
data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or
hang.  The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets.

The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage
should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data.  The flag can
be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter,
and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more
than 18 bytes fails or times out.

An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a
Prolific chip having this bug.
