There are always questions about why CFQ is idling on various conditions.
Recent ones is Christoph asking again why to idle on REQ_NOIDLE. His
assertion is that XFS is relying more and more on workqueues and is
concerned that CFQ idling on IO from every workqueue will impact
XFS badly.
So he suggested that I add some more documentation about CFQ idling
and that can provide more clarity on the topic and also gives an
opprotunity to poke a hole in theory and lead to improvements.
So here is my attempt at that. Any comments are welcome.

Instead of unconditionally creating a fixed number of dead loop
devices which need to be investigated by storage handling services,
even when they are never used, we allow distros start with 0
loop devices and have losetup(8) and similar switch to the dynamic
/dev/loop-control interface instead of searching /dev/loop%i for free
devices.

The WatchDog Timer Driver Core is a framework
that contains the common code for all watchdog-driver's.
It also introduces a watchdog device structure and the
operations that go with it.
This is the introduction of this framework. This part
supports the minimal watchdog userspace API (or with
other words: the functionality to use /dev/watchdog's
open, release and write functionality as defined in
the simplest watchdog API). Extra functionality will
follow in the next set of patches.

For testing the dt work, define a dt-enabled versatile platform.
This patch adds a new versatile platform for when using the device
tree. Add platform and amba devices are discovered and registered by
parsing the device tree. Clocks and initial io mappings are still
configured statically.
This patch still depends on some static platform_data for a few devices
which is passed via the auxdata structure to of_platform_populate(),
but it is a viable starting point until the drivers can get all
configuration data out of the device tree.
