      MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. · bb8187d3
      Paul Gortmaker authored 
      
Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory.  A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.

This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture.  There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.

One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

      mmc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operations · dfe86cba
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      
SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation.  In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.

SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.

"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation.  For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card.  Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector.  For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.

SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card.  When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:

    1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
       wait.  This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
       erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
       same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
       several minutes.

    2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.

    3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
       Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
       the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
       minutes for large areas.

"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.

For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.

For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.

"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.
