The freezer currently attempts to distinguish kernel threads from
user space tasks by checking if their mm pointer is unset and it
does not send fake signals to kernel threads. However, there are
kernel threads, mostly related to networking, that behave like
user space tasks and may want to be sent a fake signal to be frozen.
Introduce the new process flag PF_FREEZER_NOSIG that will be set
by default for all kernel threads and make the freezer only send
fake signals to the tasks having PF_FREEZER_NOSIG unset. Provide
the set_freezable_with_signal() function to be called by the kernel
threads that want to be sent a fake signal for freezing.
This patch should not change the freezer's observable behavior.

ide_do_drive_cmd is called only with ide_preempt action argument. So
we can remove the action argument in ide_do_drive_cmd and ide_action_t
typedef.
This patch also includes two minor cleanups: 1) ide_do_drive_cmd
always succeeds so we don't need the return value; 2) the callers use
blk_rq_init before ide_do_drive_cmd so there is no need to initialize
rq->errors.

Add a mechanism to let new-style i2c drivers optionally autodetect
devices they would support on selected buses and ask i2c-core to
instantiate them. This is a replacement for legacy i2c drivers, much
cleaner.
Where drivers had to implement both a legacy i2c_driver and a
new-style i2c_driver so far, this mechanism makes it possible to get
rid of the legacy i2c_driver and implement both enumerated and
detected device support with just one (new-style) i2c_driver.
Here is a quick conversion guide for these drivers, step by step:
* Delete the legacy driver definition, registration and removal.
Delete the attach_adapter and detach_client methods of the legacy
driver.
* Change the prototype of the legacy detect function from
static int foo_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address, int kind);
to
static int foo_detect(struct i2c_client *client, int kind,
struct i2c_board_info *info);
* Set the new-style driver detect callback to this new function, and
set its address_data to &addr_data (addr_data is generally provided
by I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD.)
* Add the appropriate class to the new-style driver. This is
typically the class the legacy attach_adapter method was checking
for. Class checking is now mandatory (done by i2c-core.) See
<linux/i2c.h> for the list of available classes.
* Remove the i2c_client allocation and freeing from the detect
function. A pre-allocated client is now handed to you by i2c-core,
and is freed automatically.
* Make the detect function fill the type field of the i2c_board_info
structure it was passed as a parameter, and return 0, on success. If
the detection fails, return -ENODEV.
