[PATCHSET #upstream-fixes] patches which fell off the crack during maintainership handover

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

Hello, Jeff.

This patchset contains eight patches that I collected for 2.6.28 while
you were away.  Unfortunately, the handover to you didn't work out too
well and these got forgotten.  This patchset contains the following
eight patches.

  0001-Hibernation-Introduce-system_entering_hibernation.patch
  0002-DMI-Introduce-dmi_first_match-to-make-the-interface.patch
  0003-SATA-Blacklisting-of-systems-that-spin-off-disks-du.patch
  0004-SATA-AHCI-Blacklist-system-that-spins-off-disks-dur.patch
  0005-SATA-Sil-Blacklist-system-that-spins-off-disks-duri.patch
  0006-SATA-PIIX-Blacklist-system-that-spins-off-disks-dur.patch
  0007-libata-Fix-a-potential-race-condition-in-ata_scsi_p.patch
  0008-libata-implement-ATA_HORKAGE_ATAPI_MOD16_DMA-and-ap.patch

0001-0006 are to fix the long-standing double spindown problems on
certain laptops.  0007 fixes a potential race condition and 0008
implements a workaround for a strange device.  These missed rc1 window
but they're all fixes or workarounds for weird hardware so I think
they qualify.

Thanks.
