This moves main bus init code to the main.c and renames old function to

Thanks to this change we'll also be able to separate scanning from

Pull GPIO changes from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.18 development cycle:
- Increase the default ARCH_NR_GPIO from 256 to 512. This was done
to avoid having a custom <asm/gpio.h> header for the x86
architecture - GPIO is custom and complicated enough as it is
already! We want to move to a radix to store the descriptors going
forward, and finally get rid of this fixed array size altogether.
- Endgame patching of the gpio_remove() semantics initiated by
Abdoulaye Berthe. It is not accepted by the system that the
removal of a GPIO chip fails during eg reboot or shutdown, and
therefore the return value has now painfully been refactored away.
For special cases like GPIO expanders on a hot-pluggable bus like
USB, we may later add some gpiochip_try_remove() call, but for the
cases we have now, return values are moot.
- Some incremental refactoring of the gpiolib core and ACPI GPIO
library for more descriptor usage.
- Refactor the chained IRQ handler set-up method to handle also
threaded, nested interrupts and set up the parent IRQ correctly.
Switch STMPE and TC3589x drivers to use this registration method.
- Add a .irq_not_threaded flag to the struct gpio_chip, so that also
GPIO expanders that block but are still not using threaded IRQ
handlers.
- New drivers for the ARM64 X-Gene SoC GPIO controller.
- The syscon GPIO driver has been improved to handle the "DSP GPIO"
found on the TI Keystone 2 SoC:s.
- ADNP driver switched to use gpiolib irqchip helpers.
- Refactor the DWAPB driver to support being instantiated from and
MFD cell (platform device).
- Incremental feature improvement in the Zynq, MCP23S08, DWAPB, OMAP,
Xilinx and Crystalcove drivers.
- Various minor fixes"

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv". The
patch series describes this core as follows.
"The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
and optional floating point unit."
The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families. It adds
support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.
The rest of the series are cleanups and bug fixes that are MIPS
generic and consist largely of changes that Imgtec/MIPS had published
in their linux-mti-3.10.git stable tree. Random other cleanups and
patches preparing code to be merged in 3.15"

With this patch we prevent the irq from being fired when it is
registered. The Hardware fires an IRQ when input signal XOR polarity
AND gpio mask is 1. Now we are setting polarity to a vlaue so that is
is 0 when we register it.
In addition we also set the irq mask register to 0 when the irq handler
is initialized, so all gpio irqs are masked and there will be no
unexpected irq.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) The addition of nftables. No longer will we need protocol aware
firewall filtering modules, it can all live in userspace.
At the core of nftables is a, for lack of a better term, virtual
machine that executes byte codes to inspect packet or metadata
(arriving interface index, etc.) and make verdict decisions.
Besides support for loading packet contents and comparing them, the
interpreter supports lookups in various datastructures as
fundamental operations. For example sets are supports, and
therefore one could create a set of whitelist IP address entries
which have ACCEPT verdicts attached to them, and use the appropriate
byte codes to do such lookups.
Since the interpreted code is composed in userspace, userspace can
do things like optimize things before giving it to the kernel.
Another major improvement is the capability of atomically updating
portions of the ruleset. In the existing netfilter implementation,
one has to update the entire rule set in order to make a change and
this is very expensive.
Userspace tools exist to create nftables rules using existing
netfilter rule sets, but both kernel implementations will need to
co-exist for quite some time as we transition from the old to the
new stuff.
Kudos to Patrick McHardy, Pablo Neira Ayuso, and others who have
worked so hard on this.
2) Daniel Borkmann and Hannes Frederic Sowa made several improvements
to our pseudo-random number generator, mostly used for things like
UDP port randomization and netfitler, amongst other things.
In particular the taus88 generater is updated to taus113, and test
cases are added.
3) Support 64-bit rates in HTB and TBF schedulers, from Eric Dumazet
and Yang Yingliang.
4) Add support for new 577xx tigon3 chips to tg3 driver, from Nithin
Sujir.
5) Fix two fatal flaws in TCP dynamic right sizing, from Eric Dumazet,
Neal Cardwell, and Yuchung Cheng.
6) Allow IP_TOS and IP_TTL to be specified in sendmsg() ancillary
control message data, much like other socket option attributes.
From Francesco Fusco.
7) Allow applications to specify a cap on the rate computed
automatically by the kernel for pacing flows, via a new
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE socket option. From Eric Dumazet.
8) Make the initial autotuned send buffer sizing in TCP more closely
reflect actual needs, from Eric Dumazet.
9) Currently early socket demux only happens for TCP sockets, but we
can do it for connected UDP sockets too. Implementation from Shawn
Bohrer.
10) Refactor inet socket demux with the goal of improving hash demux
performance for listening sockets. With the main goals being able
to use RCU lookups on even request sockets, and eliminating the
listening lock contention. From Eric Dumazet.
11) The bonding layer has many demuxes in it's fast path, and an RCU
conversion was started back in 3.11, several changes here extend the
RCU usage to even more locations. From Ding Tianhong and Wang
Yufen, based upon suggestions by Nikolay Aleksandrov and Veaceslav
Falico.
12) Allow stackability of segmentation offloads to, in particular, allow
segmentation offloading over tunnels. From Eric Dumazet.
13) Significantly improve the handling of secret keys we input into the
various hash functions in the inet hashtables, TCP fast open, as
well as syncookies. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. The key fundamental
operation is "net_get_random_once()" which uses static keys.
Hannes even extended this to ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation handling and
our generic flow dissector.
14) The generic driver layer takes care now to set the driver data to
NULL on device removal, so it's no longer necessary for drivers to
explicitly set it to NULL any more. Many drivers have been cleaned
up in this way, from Jingoo Han.
15) Add a BPF based packet scheduler classifier, from Daniel Borkmann.
16) Improve CRC32 interfaces and generic SKB checksum iterators so that
SCTP's checksumming can more cleanly be handled. Also from Daniel
Borkmann.
17) Add a new PMTU discovery mode, IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE, which forces
using the interface MTU value. This helps avoid PMTU attacks,
particularly on DNS servers. From Hannes Frederic Sowa.
18) Use generic XPS for transmit queue steering rather than internal
(re-)implementation in virtio-net. From Jason Wang.
