Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to
catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen
it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use
OF, but now other users are reporting it with i8042.

This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation
even on 32-bit kernels.

free_irq() should not be executed from softirq context.

Found by the lock validator.  The fix is to push fd_free_irq() into
keventd.  The code validates fine with this patch applied.

(akpm: this is revolting, but so is floppy.c)

In latest -mm a number of section mismatch warnings are generated for
floppy.o like the following:

WARNING: drivers/block/floppy.o - Section mismatch: reference to    \
.init.data: from .text between 'init_module' (at offset 0x6976) and \
'cleanup_module'

The warning are caused by a reference to floppy_init() which is __init from
init_module() which is not declared __init.  Declaring init_module() _init
fixes this.

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
-&gt;getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means -&gt;ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets -&gt;start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error
to rq_end_io_fn().  there's no generic way to pass error code
to request completion function, making generic error handling
of non-fs request difficult (rq-&gt;errors is driver-specific and
each driver uses it differently).  this patch adds @uptodate
to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn().

for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the
same uptodate argument used in the last call to
end_that_request_first() should suffice.  imho, this can also
help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.
