This patch series cleans up some misconceptions about pm_ops. Some users of
the pm_ops structure attempt to use it to stop the user from entering suspend
to disk, this, however, is not possible since the user can always use
"shutdown" in /sys/power/disk and then the pm_ops are never invoked. Also,
platforms that don't support suspend to disk simply should not allow
configuring SOFTWARE_SUSPEND (read the help text on it, it only selects
suspend to disk and nothing else, all the other stuff depends on PM).
The pm_ops structure is actually intended to provide a way to enter
platform-defined sleep states (currently supported states are "standby" and
"mem" (suspend to ram)) and additionally (if SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is configured)
allows a platform to support a platform specific way to enter low-power mode
once everything has been saved to disk. This is currently only used by ACPI
(S4).
This patch:
The pm_ops.pm_disk_mode is used in totally bogus ways since nobody really
seems to understand what it actually does.
This patch clarifies the pm_disk_mode description.
It also removes all the arm and sh users that think they can veto suspend to
disk via pm_ops; not so since the user can always do echo shutdown >
/sys/power/disk, they need to find a better way involving Kconfig or such.
ACPI is the only user left with a non-zero pm_disk_mode.
The patch also sets the default mode to shutdown again, but when a new pm_ops
is registered its pm_disk_mode is selected as default, that way the default
stays for ACPI where it is apparently required.

Add support for the Atmel AT91SAM9263 processor. It is similar to the
AT91SAM9260 but with more integrated peripherals, 5 GPIO banks, etc.

Now that Linux includes support for the Atmel AT91SAM9260 and
AT91SAM9261 processors in addition to the original Atmel AT91RM9200
(with support for more AT91 processors pending), the "mach-at91rm9200"
and "arch-at91rm9200" directories should be renamed to indicate their
more generic nature.
The following git commands should be run BEFORE applying this patch:
git-mv arch/arm/mach-at91rm9200 arch/arm/mach-at91
git-mv include/asm-arm/arch-at91rm9200 include/asm-arm/arch-at91
