- common ali14xx_init() for built-in and module
- do not call findPort() twice
- touch hwifs only if chipset was found and initialized
- release hwif only if hwif->chipset == ide_ali14xx
- when releasing hwif, restore hwif->channel to the default value
- mark exit functions with __exit
- do not use ide_hwifs[] directly
- minor cleanups

Blind strncpy()->strlcpy() conversion in 2.5.70
made it impossible to change any setting, revert it.

Finally admit defeat and change the maintainers entry for 8250/16x50
serial.

This removes "do_machine_check()" in favour of just calling the
appropriate machine check handler directly from the lowlevel exception
code.

Removed doubled header file includes.
Removed includes of version.h.
Removed the use of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__

fix compiler error of badly punctuated macro definitions.

This looks a little simpler, and has the same effect.

Don't poke bank 0 on Athlon, some of them don't like it
and raise spurious MCEs.

Editor wraparound and comments don't always like each other.

This switches fs/Kconfig to use select where appropriate (affects
nfs{,d} and afs).

The CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl is both slow and ugly, this patch keeps the
functionality but utilizes the much better sg_io() framework.

This removes a bogus error message in the bogomips reporting code when
running an SMP kernel on UP.  It makes the output consistent with what
you see on an SMP box.  I noticed this while testing, but it recently
annoyed me again when booting a knoppix CD - its the first line you'll
see.

Other architectures have other low-level serial chips.

Make "PC" configuration shorthand (same as "X86 && !EMBEDDED"
right now, but other PC-like architectures may start using it)

Generic serial: jiffies are unsigned long

M68k: Add sched_clock() (introduced in 2.6.0-test6)

A2232 Serial: Fix typo

Zorro: Make closing include guards consistent with opening include guards

GVP-II SCSI: Fix compilation by getting rid of the obsolete SCSI host instance
loop and using per-card interrupt handlers instead.

A2091 SCSI: Fix compilation by getting rid of the obsolete SCSI host instance
loop and using per-card interrupt handlers instead.

Amiga Zorro bus: Update the docs to match the current situation.

Dmasound: Use select to get CONFIG_DMASOUND defined for all subdrivers (from
Christoph Hellwig).
