sound/pcmcia/vx/vx_entry.c:

This patch removes the PCMCIA timer release functionality which is no
longer required. Without this the module does not compile.

Too much cut-and-paste, noticed by Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>

On PPC32 we reorder the arguments so they fit into 6 registers.  Glibc will
need a two-line stub to change them from the standard order to the ordering
used by the system call: (fd, advice, offset, len).

In both 2.4 and in 2.6, error handling for bad cdrom media is
wrong.  And it is my fault I'm afraid, since I botched an earlier
fix for the problem by putting the fix in the wrong spot.

My kids have a "Jumpstart Toddlers" cd they have long since
completely killed, which makes a great test disc.  Without this
fix, the best time projection I can get for completing a dd type
sector copy is about 2 years...  Most of that is spent thrashing
about in kernel space trying to re-read sectors we already know
are not correctable....  After the fix, I was able to rip a copy
the CD (or rather muddle through it getting lots of EIO errors)
in about 15 minutes.

Attached is the fix for 2.6.x,

I noticed, that your documentation of your usb-skeleton driver
is not up to date. So I took the time to rework it slightly.
I append the patch to the version I found in kernel 2.6.0-test3.

I used a combination of:
egrep -l 'UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|\<KERNEL_VERSION\>'
and "grep -l linux/version.h" to find them.  They compiled
as module/non-module for me.  The previous patch adds
version.h, btw.

This patch adds support to usbnet for devices based on the ASIX AX88172
USB 2.0 Ethernet chipset.

The patch frees the bulk write urb's transfer buffer in the write
bulk callback (the buffer is allocated dynamically when the urb is
submitted).  The patch also tidies up the write bulk callback
function a little bit - removing some unnecessary paranoid checks
and scheduling a soft interrupt regardless of the port's open count
(for consistency with other usb serial drivers).

One tester reported that disconnecting in the middle of a scatterlist
operation would give a lot of confusing messages.  This should improve
that situation a bunch:  most of the messages were pointless.  It also
resolves some related FIXMEs for both queue cleanup modes (cancelation,
and after transport fault).

  - now only urbs in flight have non-null urb->dev, so we can avoid
    trying to unlink unsubmitted or (common) already-completed urbs.

  - it's ok to get -EBUSY unlink status, it just means the urb's
    already being given back (though since it's in flight, it's
    not an error to try unlinking).

Also, the relevant diagnostics now use dev_*() driver model calls,
making the kernel strings smaller and the output more useful.

fix drivers/usb/misc/usbtest.c:438: warning: passing arg 1 of
`__swab32s' from incompatible pointer type by using le16_to_cpus instead
of le32_to_cpus .

It's not needed.
