iwlwifi: fix debugfs buffer handling

much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the
buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far.
Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing
this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has
been written at that time.

Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the
"hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only
adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has
been added since beginning of buffer.

This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
netif_running().

Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
possible spurious interrupts (see commit 5b039e681b8c5f30aac9cc04385
"3c59x PM fixes"). But,

- On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
  but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).

- Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
  HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
  requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
  unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
  not free_irq().

param: allow whitespace as kernel parameter separator

Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.

This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.

<linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
not available in the decompression environment.

linux/kernel.h brings at least:
extern int console_printk[];
extern const char hex_asc[];
which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when

hpet: hpet driver periodic timer setup bug fixes

The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly,
both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while
emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic
mode).

With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first
set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has
the side effect of overwriting the comparator value.  This results in
wrong periodicity for the interrupts.  For, periodic interrupts to work,
following steps are necessary, in that order.

* Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit

* Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the
  first interrupt should be generated

* Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts
  (http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf )

When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic
interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of
comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation.

Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic
interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable
of doing periodic interrupts.  This hp_delta will result in slower than
expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.
