trivial: doc: hpfall: reduce risk that hpfall can do harm
Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing
harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this
adds some basic safeguards.
1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself!
Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely
swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table
while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity!
2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty).
3. Give hpfall realtime priority.
Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.

USB serial: update the console driver
This patch (as1292) modifies the USB serial console driver, to make it
compatible with the recent changes to the USB serial core. The most
important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked
following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index().
Other less notable changes include:
Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always.
Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended.
Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the
port hardware has been initialized.
In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial
console code is still a big hack.

even if the open fails but not if the tty has gotten a hangup. The
test for whether the hardware has been initialized, based on the use
count, is replaced by a more transparent test of the
ASYNCB_INITIALIZED bit in the port flags.

usb-serial: acquire references when a new tty is installed
This patch (as1287) makes serial_install() be reponsible for acquiring
references to the usb_serial structure and the driver module when a
tty is first used. This is more sensible than having serial_open() do
it, because a tty can be opened many times whereas it is installed
only once, when it is created. (Not to mention that these actions are
reversed when the tty is released, not when it is closed.) Finally,
it is at install time that the TTY core takes its own reference to the
usb_serial module, so it is only fitting that we should act the same
way in regard to the lower-level serial driver.

usb-serial: change logic of serial lookups
This patch (as1286) changes usb_serial_get_by_index(). Now the
routine will check whether the serial device has been disconnected; if
it has then the return value will be NULL. If the device hasn't been
disconnected then the routine will return with serial->disc_mutex
held, so that the caller can use the structure without fear of racing
against driver unloads.
This permits the scope of table_mutex in destroy_serial() to be
reduced. Instead of protecting the entire function, it suffices to
protect the part that actually uses serial_table[], i.e., the call to
return_serial(). There's no longer any danger of the refcount being
incremented after it reaches 0 (which was the reason for having the
large scope previously), because it can't reach 0 until the serial
device has been disconnected.
Also, the patch makes serial_install() check that serial is non-NULL
before attempting to use it.

usb-serial: change referencing of port and serial structures
This patch (as1284) changes the referencing of the usb_serial and
usb_serial_port structures in usb-serial.c. It's not feasible to make
the port structures keep a reference to the serial structure, because
the ports need to remain in existence when serial is released -- quite
a few of the drivers expect this. Consequently taking a reference
to the port when the device file is open is insufficient; such a
reference would not pin serial.
To fix this, we now take a reference to serial when the device file is
opened. The final put_device() for the ports occurs in
destroy_serial(), so that the ports will last as long as they are
needed.
The patch initializes all the port devices, including those in the
unused "fake" ports. This makes the code more uniform because they
can all be released in the same way. The error handling code in
usb_serial_probe() is much simplified by this approach; instead of
freeing everything by hand we can use a single usb_serial_put() call.
Also simplified is the port-release mechanism. Instead of being two
separate routines, port_release() and port_free() can be combined into
one.
Add support for MOXA:0x1120 pci device. It's a 2-port device and differs
in no way from the others. So this turns out to be a trivial
pci_device_id change.
Stanse found a tty refcnt leak in read_int_callback. In fact
it's handled wrong altogether. tty_port_tty_get can return NULL
and it's not checked in that manner.
Fix that by checking the tty_port_tty_get retval and put tty kref
properly.

8250: Now honours baud rate lower bounds
A platform clock drives 8250 ports in most SOC systems, the clock
might run at high frequencies, and so it's not always possible to
downscale uart clock to a desired value.
Currently the 8250 uart driver accepts not supported baud rates, and
what is worse, it is doing this silently, and then passes not accepted
values to a new termios, so userspace has no chance to catch this kind
of errors (userspace verifies that settings were accepted by reading
back and comparing the settings).
This patch fixes the issue by passing minimum baud rate to the
uart_get_baud_rate() call, the call should take care of all bounds,
so userspace should now report:
# stty -F /dev/ttyS0 speed 300
115200
stty: /dev/ttyS0: unable to perform all requested operations
p.s. uart_get_baud_rate() falls back to 9600, which still might be too
low for some 10 GHz platforms, but that's a separate issue, and
we can wait with fixing this till we find such a platform.
