0acbc6c651 Documentation: update CodingStyle tips for Emacs users
With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available
for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a
separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to
switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style
easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed
by the Emacs cc-mode.

4be8c3873e mac80211: extend/document powersave API
This modifies hardware flags for powersave to support three different
flags:
 * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS - indicates general PS support
 * IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK - indicates nullfunc sending in software
 * IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS - indicates dynamic PS on the device

It also adds documentation for all this which explains how to set the
various flags.

Additionally, it fixes a few things:
 * a spot where && was used to test flags
 * enable CONF_PS only when associated again

27ad279933 UBIFS: remove fast unmounting
This UBIFS feature has never worked properly, and it was a mistake
to add it because we simply have no use-cases. So, lets still accept
the fast_unmount mount option, but ignore it. This does not change
much, because UBIFS commit in sync_fs anyway, and sync_fs is called
while unmounting.

6a1b699678 UIO: Add missing documentation of features added recently
The following features were added to the UIO framework in the near past:

* Generic drivers for platform devices (uio_pdrv, uio_pdrv_genirq)
* an "offset" sysfs attribute for memory mappings

Unfortunately, all this went in without documentation (won't happen again...)

This patch updates UIO documentation.

792b48780e dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window feature
This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the
  * sequence-number-validity (W) and
  * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows
derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3.

Specifically, the following is contained in this patch:
  * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk;
  * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields;
  * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side,
    so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false;
  * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since
    - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere;
    - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3);
    - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously;
  * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.
