fix compiler string for prerelease compilers
so that kernel version in software information looks okay
and add signature
block: add latest ROW I/O scheduler from CAF msm-3.4
together with following prerequisites

block: Add API for urgent request handling
This patch add support in block & elevator layers for handling
urgent requests. The decision if a request is urgent or not is taken
by the scheduler. Urgent request notification is passed to the underlying
block device driver (eMMC for example). Block device driver may decide to
interrupt the currently running low priority request to serve the new
urgent request. By doing so READ latency is greatly reduced in read&write
collision scenarios.

Note that if the current scheduler doesn't implement the urgent request
mechanism, this code path is never activated.

____________

block: Add support for reinsert a dispatched req
Add support for reinserting a dispatched request back to the
scheduler's internal data structures.
This capability is used by the device driver when it chooses to
interrupt the current request transmission and execute another (more
urgent) pending request. For example: interrupting long write in order
to handle pending read. The device driver re-inserts the
remaining write request back to the scheduler, to be rescheduled
for transmission later on.

Add API for verifying whether the current scheduler
supports reinserting requests mechanism. If reinsert mechanism isn't
supported by the scheduler, this code path will never be activated.

block: urgent request: remove unnecessary urgent marking
An urgent request is marked by the scheduler in rq->cmd_flags with the
REQ_URGENT flag. There is no need to add an additional marking by
the block layer.

block: add REQ_URGENT to request flags
This patch adds a new flag to be used in cmd_flags field of struct request
for marking request as urgent.
Urgent request is the one that should be given priority currently handled
(regular) request by the device driver. The decision of a request urgency
is taken by the scheduler.

block: urgent request: Update dispatch_urgent in case of requeue/reinsert
The block layer implements a mechanism for verifying that the device
driver won't be notified of an URGENT request if there is already an
URGENT request in flight. This is due to the fact that interrupting an
URGENT request isn't efficient.
This patch fixes the above described mechanism in case the URGENT request
was returned back to the block layer from some reason: by requeue or
reinsert.

block: urgent: Fix dispatching of URGENT mechanism
There are cases when blk_peek_request is called not from blk_fetch_request
thus the URGENT request may be started but the flag q->dispatched_urgent is
not updated.

mm: pass readahead info down to the i/o scheduler
Some i/o schedulers (i.e. row-iosched, cfq-iosched) deploy an idling
algorithm in order to be better synced with the readahead algorithm.
Idling is a prediction algorithm for incoming read requests.

In this patch we mark pages which are part of a readahead window, by
setting a newly introduced flag. With this flag, the i/o scheduler can
identify a request which is associated with a readahead page. This
enables the i/o scheduler's idling mechanism to be en-sync with the
readahead mechanism and, in turn, can increase read throughput.

workqueue: backport from Linux 3.6.11
to get the following patches by Tejun Heo that improves the latency of cpu
hotplug events.
workqueue: simplify CPU hotplug code
workqueue: remove CPU offline trustee
workqueue: don't butcher idle workers on an offline CPU
workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers

workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item
commit b22ce27 upstream.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine.  Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs.  The two would deadlock.

Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports.  With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.

Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.
