Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of
  different areas.

  The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within
  target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric
  drivers tree-wide.

  There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
  se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
  completely lockless code-path.  It also removes the original
  hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.

  The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core
  and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while
  still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.

  The highlights include:

   - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi)
   - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker
     (Christophe Vu-Brugier)
   - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover)
   - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch)
   - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp)
   - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory
     (akinobu)
   - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch)
   - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart)
   - Convert se_node_acl-&gt;device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch +
     paulmck)
   - Convert se_portal_group-&gt;tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch +
     paulmck)
   - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch)
   - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations
     (hch + nab)
   - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch)
   - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun-&gt;lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab)
   - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab)
   - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes)
   - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)"

do_device_access() takes a separate parameter to indicate the direction of
data transfer, which it used to use to select the appropriate function out
of sg_pcopy_{to,from}_buffer().  However these two functions now have

So this patch makes it bypass these wrappers and call the underlying
function sg_copy_buffer() directly; this has the same calling style as
do_device_access() i.e.  a separate direction-of-transfer parameter and no
pointers-to-const, so skipping the wrappers not only eliminates the
warning, it also make the code simpler :)

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
  stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
  places perspective.  The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
  quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
  they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
  majority of cases.

  From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
  revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
  the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
  based on it going forward.  Also included is an update of the ACPI
  device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
  the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
  wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
  device configuration object.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
  updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.

  There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
  adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
  Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
  the last minute for 4.1.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support
     for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO,
     XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM,
     FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI,
     _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore,
     Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
     which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in
     Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
     number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of
     DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code
     generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).

   - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the
     handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).

   - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and
     resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
     introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code
     that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the
     initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to
     DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

   - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov).

   - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause).

   - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).

   - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
     properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian
     Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to
     be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from
     ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).

   - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all
     cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi
     Kandoi).

   - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
     to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).

   - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
     prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
     Rafael J Wysocki).

   - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).

   - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).

   - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).

   - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce
     the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in
     question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan).

   - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
     conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
     Bhargava, Joe Konno).

   - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep
     Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian).

   - assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma,
     Fabian Frederick, Wang Long).

   - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance
     Points (Viresh Kumar).

   - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core
     (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power
     Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli).

   - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the
     RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas).

   - runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks).

   - cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski)"

Cisco has developed a new PCI HBA interface called sNIC, which stands for
SCSI NIC. This is a new storage feature supported on specialized network
adapter. The new PCI function provides a uniform host interface and abstracts
backend storage.
