Cleanups to the i2c-elektor driver:
* Set the i2c_adapter name field to "i2c-elektor" and use this string
in all resource requests and printks.
* Change space-padding for tab indentation, kill trailing white space,
remove space before comma.
* Use dev_info, pr_info and pr_debug instead of printk.
* Lines chopped to 80 columns.

This patch updates the i2c-elektor driver, enabling it to compile
cleanly, load and run. The key change is that it uses the new
__iomem/iowrite8/ioread8 functions to abstract the direct or
memory-mapped variants of register access. Also, the original driver
would crash on module load on the Alpha because the PCI memory region
was not remapped into kernel memory.
I have managed the following testing:
* compiled and tested it on my Alpha UP2000+ system.
* compiles cleanly for x86 but I don't have the hardware to test.

It's a bit confusing to name a variable the same as an unrelated

Drop I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX, use I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX instead.
I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX has always been defined to the same value as
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX, and this will never change: setting it to a lower
value would make no sense, setting it to a higher value would break
i2c_smbus_data compatibility. There is no point in changing
i2c_smbus_data to support larger block transactions in SMBus mode, as
no SMBus hardware supports more than 32 byte blocks. Thus, for larger
transactions, direct I2C transfers are the way to go.

Drop a useless initialization step in the w83627hf driver. The comment
says that the W83627HF PWM2 can be disabled, but it can't. I suppose
this is a leftover from the w83781d driver (from which the w83627hf
driver is derived), as for example the W83782D had the ability to
disable PWM2.

Drop legacy ISA address support from the it87 driver. All supported
chips are Super-I/O chips, so the device ISA address can be safely read
from Super-I/O space rather than blindly assumed.
Two nearby inaccurate documentation statements have been fixed as well:
* The IT8705F doesn't have an SMBus interface.
* The SiS950 doesn't have a distinct prefix.

This patch changes w83627hf and w83627ehf drivers to reserve only ports
0x295-0x296, instead of full 0x290-0x297 range. While some other
sensors chips respond to all addresses in 0x290-0x297 range, Winbond
chips respond to 0x295-0x296 only (this behavior is implied by
documentation, and matches behavior observed on real systems). This is
not problem alone, as no BIOS was found to put something at these unused
addresses, and sensors chip itself provides nothing there as well.
But in addition to only respond to these two addresses, also BIOS
vendors report in their ACPI-PnP structures that there is some resource
at I/O address 0x295 of length 2. And when later this hwmon driver
attempts to request region with base 0x290/length 8, it fails as one
request_region cannot span more than one device.
Due to this we have to ask only for region this hardware really
occupies, otherwise driver cannot be loaded on systems with ACPI-PnP
enabled.

Cleanups to the i2c-viapro driver:
* Kill unused defines.
* Kill interrupt-related code, as the driver doesn't use interrupts.
* Fix broken comments (some copied from i2c-piix4.)
* Centralize the unsupported command error case in vt596_access.
That way we'll catch all unsupported commands, not only
I2C_SMBUS_PROC_CALL.
* Refactor some code.
* Convert some dev_dbg into dev_err. Errors better be reported even in
non-debug mode.
* Do not verify that the final reset succeeded. It'll be checked at
the beginning of the next transaction anyway.
* Use the driver name to reserve the I/O region.
* Do not print the contents of the SMBREV register, it reads 0 on all
chips I've seen so far.
* Some other minor fixes all over the place.

5.1.3. Maximum Response Code
The Maximum Response Code field specifies the maximum time allowed
before sending a responding Report. The actual time allowed, called
the Maximum Response Delay, is represented in units of milliseconds,
and is derived from the Maximum Response Code as follows:
If Maximum Response Code < 32768,
Maximum Response Delay = Maximum Response Code
If Maximum Response Code >=32768, Maximum Response Code represents a
floating-point value as follows:

The Querier's Query Interval Code field specifies the [Query
Interval] used by the Querier. The actual interval, called the
Querier's Query Interval (QQI), is represented in units of seconds,
and is derived from the Querier's Query Interval Code as follows:
If QQIC < 128, QQI = QQIC
If QQIC >= 128, QQIC represents a floating-point value as follows:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.
1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO
This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.
UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets
1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.
2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for
"skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"
skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.
skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.
For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.
