we can now autodetect internal 3G device and already have the threeg
rfkill device. So, we plan to remove threeg sysfs support for it's no
longer necessary.
We also plan to remove interface sysfs file that exposed which ACPI-WMI
interface that was used by acer-wmi driver. It will replaced by information
log when acer-wmi initial.
We keep it around for userspace compatibility reasons, schedule removal
in 2012.

There are always questions about why CFQ is idling on various conditions.
Recent ones is Christoph asking again why to idle on REQ_NOIDLE. His
assertion is that XFS is relying more and more on workqueues and is
concerned that CFQ idling on IO from every workqueue will impact
XFS badly.
So he suggested that I add some more documentation about CFQ idling
and that can provide more clarity on the topic and also gives an
opprotunity to poke a hole in theory and lead to improvements.
So here is my attempt at that. Any comments are welcome.

Update kernel-parameters.txt to point users to the authoritative comment
for name_to_dev_t. In addition, updates other places where some
name_to_dev_t behavior was discussed. All other references to root=
appear to be for explicit sample usage or just side comments when
discussing other kernel parameters.

init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.
Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.
The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.
init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

EINJ parameter support is only usable for some specific BIOS.
Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support
it. But now, we found it will cause issue (memory overwriting) for
some BIOS. So param support is disabled by default and only enabled
when newly added module parameter named "param_extension" is
explicitly specified.

It's about time to revert 16d752397301b9 ("thermal: Create
CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n"). Anybody running a kernel >= 2.6.40 would also
be running a recent enough version of lm-sensors.
Actually having CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON is pretty convenient so instead of
dropping it, we keep it but hide it.

Add optional parameter field to dmcrypt table and support
"allow_discards" option.
Discard requests bypass crypt queue processing. Bio is simple remapped
to underlying device.
Note that discard will be never enabled by default because of security
consequences. It is up to the administrator to enable it for encrypted
devices.
(Note that userspace cryptsetup does not understand new optional
parameters yet. Support for this will come later. Until then, you
should use 'dmsetup' to enable and disable this.)

Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid. Although
not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of
RAID are unavailable. They are used to store a superblock and bitmap.
The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible
without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field
variable 'failed_devices'.
