The head number of a given display controller is fixed in hardware and
required to program outputs appropriately. Relying on the driver probe
order to determine this number will not work, since that could yield a
situation where the second head was probed first and would be assigned
head number 0 instead of 1.

The LP129QE LCD has an LED backlight and a display resolution of
2560x1700 pixels.

The default for backlight devices is to be enabled immediately when
registering with the backlight core. This can be useful for setups that
use a simple framebuffer device and where the backlight cannot otherwise
be hooked up to the panel.
However, when dealing with more complex setups, such as those of recent
ARM SoCs, this can be problematic. Since the backlight is usually setup
separately from the display controller, the probe order is not usually
deterministic. That can lead to situations where the backlight will be
powered up and the panel will show an uninitialized framebuffer.
Furthermore, subsystems such as DRM have advanced functionality to set
the power mode of a panel. In order to allow such setups to power up the
panel at exactly the right moment, a way is needed to prevent the
backlight core from powering the backlight up automatically when it is
registered.
This commit introduces a new boot_off field in the platform data (and
also implements getting the same information from device tree). When set
the initial backlight power mode will be set to "off".

Note: Perhaps it would be more useful to make this the default behaviour
in the backlight core? Many other subsystems and frameworks assume that
a resource is off unless explicitly enabled.

The "strictlimit" feature was introduced to enforce per-bdi dirty limits
for FUSE which sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/105809
However the feature can be useful for other relatively slow or untrusted
BDIs like USB flash drives and DVD+RW. The patch adds a knob to enable
the feature:
echo 1 > /sys/class/bdi/X:Y/strictlimit
Being enabled, the feature enforces bdi max_ratio limit even if global
(10%) dirty limit is not reached. Of course, the effect is not visible
until /sys/class/bdi/X:Y/max_ratio is decreased to some reasonable value.

Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram which
is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram for
small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released their
ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long time ago.
And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs. In
addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example, Lubuntu
start to use it.
The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the benefit
was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory pressure.
It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression but more issue
is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent mobile platforms
have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But embedded system
normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap because there is
wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use swap, it means we
can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could encounter OOM kill. :(
Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because it
sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.
Quote from Luigi on Google
"
Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to
manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
available RAM.
"
and he announced. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device so
anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on the
internet start zram as /var/tmp.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

The usage of the 'gpt' kernel parameter is twofold: (i) skip any mbr
integrity checks and (ii) enable the backup GPT header to be used in
situations where the primary one is corrupted. This last "feature" is not
obvious and needs to be properly documented in the kernel-parameters
document.

For general-purpose (i.e. distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build
with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they
want to do with kexec. However, in the face of trying to lock down a
system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load
(much like module loading can be disabled). Without this, it is too easy
for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
and modules_disabled are set. With this change, it is still possible to
load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack
of image) can't be altered.
The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect"
enforcement is hard. Without a verified boot, along with verified
modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a
better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of
discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation.
In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios:
1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based
verification of kexec images.
2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images.
3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it.
4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all.
1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has
landed. 4 is the state of things now. The gap between 2 and 4 is too
large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2
and 1 are not possible for a system.
