Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
 "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

  They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
  drivers.  They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
  just removing a line in a structure.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There
  are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
  acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
  changes.

  Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Again, ACPICA leads the pack (47 commits), followed by cpufreq (18
  commits) and system suspend/hibernation (9 commits).

  From the new code perspective, the ACPICA update brings ACPI 5.1 to
  the table, including a new device configuration object called _DSD
  (Device Specific Data) that will hopefully help us to operate device
  properties like Device Trees do (at least to some extent) and changes
  related to supporting ACPI on ARM.

  Apart from that we have hibernation changes making it use radix trees
  to store memory bitmaps which should speed up some operations carried
  out by it quite significantly.  We also have some power management
  changes related to suspend-to-idle (the "freeze" sleep state) support
  and more preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM (outside of
  ACPICA).

  The rest is fixes and cleanups pretty much everywhere.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140724.  That includes ACPI 5.1
     material (support for the _CCA and _DSD predefined names, changes
     related to the DMAR and PCCT tables and ARM support among other
     things) and cleanups related to using ACPICA's header files.  A
     major part of it is related to acpidump and the core code used by
     that utility.  Changes from Bob Moore, David E Box, Lv Zheng,
     Sascha Wildner, Tomasz Nowicki, Hanjun Guo.

   - Radix trees for memory bitmaps used by the hibernation core from
     Joerg Roedel.

   - Support for waking up the system from suspend-to-idle (also known
     as the "freeze" sleep state) using ACPI-based PCI wakeup signaling
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - Fixes for issues related to ACPI button events (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - New device ID for an ACPI-enumerated device included into the
     Wildcat Point PCH from Jie Yang.

   - ACPI video updates related to backlight handling from Hans de Goede
     and Linus Torvalds.

   - Preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM from Hanjun Guo
     and Graeme Gregory.

   - ACPI PNP core cleanups from Arjun Sreedharan and Zhang Rui.

   - Cleanups related to ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_HANDLE() macros
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - ACPI-based device hotplug cleanups from Wei Yongjun and Rafael J
     Wysocki.

   - Cleanups and improvements related to system suspend from Lan
     Tianyu, Randy Dunlap and Rafael J Wysocki.

   - ACPI battery cleanup from Wei Yongjun.

   - cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar.

   - Elimination of a deadband effect from the cpufreq ondemand governor
     and intel_pstate driver cleanups from Stratos Karafotis.

   - 350MHz CPU support for the powernow-k6 cpufreq driver from Mikulas
     Patocka.

   - Fix for the imx6 cpufreq driver from Anson Huang.

   - cpuidle core and governor cleanups from Daniel Lezcano, Sandeep
     Tripathy and Mohammad Merajul Islam Molla.

   - Build fix for the big_little cpuidle driver from Sachin Kamat.

   - Configuration fix for the Operation Performance Points (OPP)
     framework from Mark Brown.

   - APM cleanup from Jean Delvare.

   - cpupower utility fixes and cleanups from Peter Senna Tschudin,
     Andrey Utkin, Himangi Saraogi, Rickard Strandqvist, Thomas
     Renninger"

GHES currently maps two pages with atomic_ioremap.  From now
on, NMI is architectural depended so there is no need to allocate
an NMI page for platforms without NMI support.

To make it possible to not use a second page, swap the existing
page order so that the IRQ context page is first, and the optional
NMI context page is second.  Then, use HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI to decide
how many pages are to be allocated.

Currently APEI depends on x86 architecture. It is because of NMI hardware
error notification of GHES which is currently supported by x86 only.
However, many other APEI features can be still used perfectly by other
architectures.

This commit adds two symbols:
1. HAVE_ACPI_APEI for those archs which support APEI.
2. HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI which is used for NMI code isolation in ghes.c
   file. NMI related data and functions are grouped so they can be wrapped
   inside one #ifdef section. Appropriate function stubs are provided for
   !NMI case.

Note there is no functional changes for x86 due to hard selected
HAVE_ACPI_APEI and HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI symbols.

<title>apei, mce: Factor out APEI architecture specific MCE calls.</title>

<id>9dae3d0d9e64c3cb8bb172f041d4e66d4b92088a</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit abstracts MCE calls and provides weak corresponding default
implementation for those architectures which do not need arch specific
actions. Each platform willing to do additional architectural actions
should provides desired function definition. It allows us to avoid wrap
code into #ifdef in generic code and prevent new platform from introducing
dummy stub function too.

Initially, there are two APEI arch-specific calls:
- arch_apei_enable_cmcff()
- arch_apei_report_mem_error()
Both interact with MCE driver for X86 architecture.

This commit abstracts MCE calls and provides weak corresponding default
implementation for those architectures which do not need arch specific
actions. Each platform willing to do additional architectural actions
should provides desired function definition. It allows us to avoid wrap
code into #ifdef in generic code and prevent new platform from introducing
dummy stub function too.

Initially, there are two APEI arch-specific calls:
- arch_apei_enable_cmcff()
- arch_apei_report_mem_error()
Both interact with MCE driver for X86 architecture.

<title>ACPICA: Restore error table definitions to reduce code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream.</title>

The following commit has changed ACPICA table header definitions:

 Commit: 88f074f4871a8c212b212b725e4dcdcdb09613c1
 Subject: ACPI, CPER: Update cper info

While such definitions are currently maintained in ACPICA. As the
modifications applying to the table definitions affect other OSPMs'
drivers, it is very difficult for ACPICA to initiate a process to
complete the merge. Thus this commit finally only leaves us divergences.

Revert such naming modifications to reduce the source code differecnes
between Linux and ACPICA upstream. No functional changes.

<title>ACPI: Clean up acpi_os_map/unmap_memory() to eliminate __iomem.</title>

ACPICA doesn't include protections around address space checking, Linux
build tests always complain increased sparse warnings around ACPICA
internal acpi_os_map/unmap_memory() invocations.  This patch tries to fix
this issue permanently.

There are 2 choices left for us to solve this issue:
 1. Add __iomem address space awareness into ACPICA.
 2. Remove sparse checker of __iomem from ACPICA source code.

This patch chooses solution 2, because:
 1.  Most of the acpi_os_map/unmap_memory() invocations are used for ACPICA.
     table mappings, which in fact are not IO addresses.
 2.  The only IO addresses usage is for "system memory space" mapping code in:
      drivers/acpi/acpica/exregion.c
      drivers/acpi/acpica/evrgnini.c
      drivers/acpi/acpica/exregion.c
    The mapped address is accessed in the handler of "system memory space"
    - acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler().  This function in fact can be
    changed to invoke acpi_os_read/write_memory() so that __iomem can
    always be type-casted in the OSL layer.

According to the above investigation, we drew the following conclusion:
It is not a good idea to introduce __iomem address space awareness into
ACPICA mostly in order to protect non-IO addresses.

We can simply remove __iomem for acpi_os_map/unmap_memory() to remove
__iomem checker for ACPICA code. Then we need to enforce external usages
to invoke other APIs that are aware of __iomem address space.
The external usages are:
 drivers/acpi/apei/einj.c
 drivers/acpi/acpi_extlog.c
 drivers/char/tpm/tpm_acpi.c
 drivers/acpi/nvs.c

This patch thus performs cleanups in this way:
 1. Add acpi_os_map/unmap_iomem() to be invoked by non-ACPICA code.
 2. Remove __iomem from acpi_os_map/unmap_memory().
