In reference to the PCI spec (Chapter 2), PCIBIOS* is an x86 concept.
There scope should be limited within arch/x86.

Change all PCIBIOS_SUCCESSFUL to 0

Keeping the pointer increment though.

Fixes the following W=1 kernel build warning:

Function headers will need a lot of work before they reach the
standards expected of kerneldoc.  Demote them down to basic
comments/headers, for now at least.

Fixes the following W=1 kernel build warnings:

<content type='text'>
Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not
followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking
the kobject.

Fix it by adding a call to kobject_put() in the error path of
kobject_init_and_add().

Mmgrab was introduced in commit f1f1007644ff ("mm: add new mmgrab()
helper") and most of the kernel was updated to use it. Update a

<title>compat_ioctl: use correct compat_ptr() translation in drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:01b8bca81e181ccca475e1fdb92ebb00d9d9b547</id>
<content type='text'>
A handful of drivers all have a trivial wrapper around their ioctl
handler, but don't call the compat_ptr() conversion function at the
moment. In practice this does not matter, since none of them are used
on the s390 architecture and for all other architectures, compat_ptr()
does not do anything, but using the new compat_ptr_ioctl()
helper makes it more correct in theory, and simplifies the code.

I checked that all ioctl handlers in these files are compatible
and take either pointer arguments or no argument.

Introduce two options to control the use of the tlbie instruction. A
boot time option which completely disables the kernel using the
instruction, this is currently incompatible with HASH MMU, KVM, and
coherent accelerators.

And a debugfs option can be switched at runtime and avoids using tlbie
for invalidating CPU TLBs for normal process and kernel address
mappings. Coherent accelerators are still managed with tlbie, as will
KVM partition scope translations.

Cross-CPU TLB flushing is implemented with IPIs and tlbiel. This is a
basic implementation which does not attempt to make any optimisation
beyond the tlbie implementation.

This is useful for performance testing among other things. For example
in certain situations on large systems, using IPIs may be faster than
tlbie as they can be directed rather than broadcast. Later we may also
take advantage of the IPIs to do more interesting things such as trim
the mm cpumask more aggressively.
