That will be better to check the existence of internal 3G device when
we set threeg capability and generate killswitch for threeg. It can
avoid userland access 3G rfkill but the machine doesn't have internal

Acer WMI hotkey event's result include current device status, just
need sync the status to killswitch after acer-wmi driver receive
hotkey event but not always poll device status. This is good for
performance.
But, if use EC raw mode, Acer BIOS will not emit wmi event and
leave EC to control device status. So, still startup polling job
when doesn't detect WMI event GUID or user choice to use ec_raw_mode.

Acer BIOS keeps devices state when system reboot, but reset to default
device states (Wlan on, Bluetooth off, wwan on) if system cold boot.
That means BIOS's initial state is not always real persistence.
So, removed rfkill_init_sw_state because it sets initial state to
persistence then replicate to other new killswitch when rfkill-input
enabled.
After removed it, acer-wmi set initial soft-block state after rfkill
register, and doesn't allow set_block until rfkill initial finished.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The serio ports on i8042 are not completely isolated; while we provide
enough locking to ensure proper serialization when accessing control
and data registers AUX and KBD ports can still have an effect on each
other on PS/2 protocol level. The most prominent effect is that
issuing a command for the device connected to one port may cause
abort of the command currently executing by the device connected to
another port.
Since i8042 nor serio subsystem are not aware of the details of the
PS/2 protocol (length of the commands and their replies and so on) the
locking should be done on libps2 level by adding special handling when
we see that we are dealing with serio port on i8042.

rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no
longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core.
Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state
across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling
rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be
initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call.
We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before
registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these
drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject
to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi.
Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if
rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with
wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would
have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future
along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon
(see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).
Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states
over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").
Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around
febf2d9. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g.
