Revision 436bbd431d41e0fd3bfedb0312ab764b291ddf82 authored by Christian Schmidt on 22 August 2007, 21:01:19 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 23 August 2007, 02:52:44 UTC
The serial_pci driver tries to guess serial ports on unknown devices based
on the PCI class (modem or serial).  On certain softmodems (AC'97 modems)
this can lead to the recognition of non-existing serial ports.

This patch adds a blacklist of PCI IDs that are to be ignored by the driver.

/*
 * latency.c: Explicit system-wide latency-expectation infrastructure
 *
 * The purpose of this infrastructure is to allow device drivers to set
 * latency constraint they have and to collect and summarize these
 * expectations globally. The cummulated result can then be used by
 * power management and similar users to make decisions that have
 * tradoffs with a latency component.
 *
 * An example user of this are the x86 C-states; each higher C state saves
 * more power, but has a higher exit latency. For the idle loop power
 * code to make a good decision which C-state to use, information about
 * acceptable latencies is required.
 *
 * An example announcer of latency is an audio driver that knowns it
 * will get an interrupt when the hardware has 200 usec of samples
 * left in the DMA buffer; in that case the driver can set a latency
 * constraint of, say, 150 usec.
 *
 * Multiple drivers can each announce their maximum accepted latency,
 * to keep these appart, a string based identifier is used.
