<title>POWERPC: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.</title>

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

<id>a474a515497ef3566cfc17a2cab3d54d6d50ff1c</id>
<content type='text'>
Many cpuidle drivers measure their time spent in an idle state by
reading the wallclock time before and after idling and calculating the
difference. This leads to erroneous results when the wallclock time gets
updated by another processor in the meantime, adding that clock
adjustment to the idle state's time counter.

If the clock adjustment was negative, the result is even worse due to an
erroneous cast from int to unsigned long long of the last_residency
variable. The negative 32 bit integer will zero-extend and result in a
forward time jump of roughly four billion milliseconds or 1.3 hours on
the idle state residency counter.

This patch changes all affected cpuidle drivers to either use the
monotonic clock for their measurements or make use of the generic time
measurement wrapper in cpuidle.c, which was already working correctly.
Some superfluous CLIs/STIs in the ACPI code are removed (interrupts
should always already be disabled before entering the idle function, and
not get reenabled until the generic wrapper has performed its second
measurement). It also removes the erroneous cast, making sure that
negative residency values are applied correctly even though they should
not appear anymore.

While the EEH does recovery on the specific PE that has PCI errors,
the PCI devices belonging to the PE will be removed and the PE will
be marked as invalid since we still need the information stored in
the PE. We only invalidate the PE when it doesn't have associated
EEH devices and valid child PEs. However, the code used to check
that is wrong. The patch fixes that.

The new EEH code introduced a small regression, if the EEH PEs
are missin (which happens currently in qemu for example), it
will deref a NULL pointer in the MSI code.

Neither of these should ever be changed once set. Make them const and
fix up the users that try to modify it in-place. In one case
kmalloc+memcpy is replaced with kstrdup() to avoid modifying the string.

Build tested with defconfigs on ARM, PowerPC, Sparc, MIPS, x86 among
others.
