<content type='text'>
The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.

There is no reasons why an HVM guest shouldn't be allowed to use xenfb.
As a matter of fact ARM guests, HVM from Linux POV, can use xenfb.
Given that no Xen toolstacks configure a xenfb backend for x86 HVM
guests, they are not affected.

Please note that at this time QEMU needs few outstanding fixes to
provide xenfb on ARM:

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)

which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
to disable that they can set:

  xen_platform_pci=0
  (in the guest config file)

or
  xen_emul_unplug=never
  (on the Linux command line)

except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it
has not initialized the grant tables, most of the PV drivers
stumble upon:

.. snip..

which is hardly nice. This patch fixes this by having each
PV driver check for:
 - if running in PV, then it is fine to execute (as that is their
   native environment).
 - if running in HVM, check if user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=never',
   in which case bail out and don't load any PV drivers.
 - if running in HVM, and if PCI device 5853:0001 (xen_platform_pci)
   does not exist, then bail out and not load PV drivers.
 - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=ide-disks',
   then bail out for all PV devices _except_ the block one.
   Ditto for the network one ('nics').
 - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary'
   then load block PV driver, and also setup the legacy IDE paths.
   In (v3) make it actually load PV drivers.

<title>Drivers: video: remove __dev* attributes.</title>

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

<title>xen-fbfront: handle backend CLOSED without CLOSING</title>

<id>urn:sha1:01bc825f6311ba2878ae353418eee575d3051594</id>
<content type='text'>
Backend drivers shouldn't transistion to CLOSED unless the frontend is
CLOSED.  If a backend does transition to CLOSED too soon then the
frontend may not see the CLOSING state and will not properly shutdown.

So, treat an unexpected backend CLOSED state the same as CLOSING.

<title>Xen: consolidate and simplify struct xenbus_driver instantiation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:73db144b58a32fc39733db6a7e1fe582072ad26a</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.

Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).

Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.

v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex.  As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()

This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.

The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()

This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.
