A very simple patch against 2.6.0 follows, which fixes an improper file
reference in the scsi sym53c8xx_2 driver help text. The referenced
documentation file was moved in 2.5.48 but the help text was not updated
accordingly.

In drivers/scsi/aha1542.c, kmalloc() is called with no memtype (i.e.
without some flag like GFP_KERNEL). The following patch will fix that.

The aha1542 driver calls panic() if kmalloc() fails, which it shouldn't
do. This patch changes that by having the code return a nonzero value, so
it tells the SCSI mid-layer to retry the command, as suggested by Randy.

Attached is an updated patch adding the cdev_unmap() call
which Kai Makisara reported as required.

Ouch.  No, of course not, you are right.  Thanks for pointing.  I
thought I had moved the port testing to aha152x_probe_one...

Following patch cleans that up.

The port test during autoconfiguration was also done without requesting
the region first and there was a bug in auto configuration of a TC1550
controller (both even before the patch).

attached my patch for the aha152x driver.  Tested for pcmcia and not
pcmcia and various devices.

changes in the aha152x driver:
- gather code that is not used by PCMCIA at the end
- move request_region for !PCMCIA case to detection
- migration to new scsi host api (remove legacy code)
- free host scribble before scsi_done
- fix error handling
- one isapnp device added to id_table

and in the pcmcia stub module:
- default to synchronous transfers
- release_region hack removed
- let core module do the scsi host api calls.

The patch at the end of this message fixes the following problems:

- cdev allocation moved outside st_dev_arr_lock, prevents the debugging
error messages reported by Mike and Mike
- cdev_unmap() added before cdev_del(), prevents oops (and kernel data
corruption) in case someone tries to use a device after removing the
module
- better error handling for failures in cdev allocation

As far as I am concerned, the patch is tested but testing by others might
be useful :-)

tty->driver_data or state->port may end up being NULL in uart_close.
Make sure that we correctly clean up in this case, rather than
oopsing.

There is no way that tty can be NULL in uart_put_char() and
uart_write().  Eliminate these redundant tests.

There's an exit path in i8042_interrupt() which forgets to rearm the timer.
It can make the mouse die when X is started.

It seems 8139cp.c has the race condition of rx_poll and interrupt.

NOTE, since I don't have this device, patch is untested. Sorry.

I got a Wacom Graphire3 for my birthday and unfortunately it didn't
work. After some playing around, I noticed the 2.6 kernel needs a few
small modifications to make it work.

This simple patch adds support for the Wacom Graphire 3.

Here is an update to use pci_set_consistent_dma_mask.  But since
dma_alloc_coherent uses dma_mask instead of consistent one, I left in
setting dma_mask as well until the alloc routine changes.

Avoid a possible timer deletion race.

Both drivers/ide/legacy and drivers/ide/ppc broke because they can no

(Acked by Bart)

x86-64 using drivers/Kconfig requires some minor changes. Mostly to disable drivers
that do not work.

- Mark paride bpck6 not 64bit clean
- Disable I2O on 64bit
- Mark PNP dependent on ISA
- Mark NSP32 driver as not 64bit clean

Mainly lots of bug fixes and a few minor features. One change is that
it uses drivers/Kconfig now like i386. This requires a few minor changes in
outside Kconfig files which I am sending separately.

 - Tighten/fix some code in NUMA node discovery
 - Fix oopses in threaded 32bit coredumps and read correct registers.
 - Merge with 2.6.2rc1
 - Sync arch/x86_64/Kconfig with i386. Uses drivers/Kconfig now.
 - Remove bcopy export
 - Fix check for signal stack for 32bit signals
 - Fix bcopy and exit prototypes for gcc 3.4
 - Fix asm contraint in usercopy.c for gcc 3.4
 - Use rt_sigreturn, not sigreturn for rt sigreturns.
 - Pass si_fault address to 32bit
 - Truncate si_error to 16bit in 32bit emulation to match i386
 - Move IA32 flag switching for 32bit executables to flush_thread
   (code copied from ppc64/sparc64)
 - Print exception trace for strace too, share code.
 - Default to 3GB address space for a.out executables
 - Fix security hole in ptrace. Also fixes some problems with 32bit gdb.
 - Sync mmap address selection algorithm with mm/mmap.c version
 - Disable a.out coredumps completely
 - Fix bug in sigaltstack 32bit emulation. Kylix IDE now works.
 - Move errata 93/BIOS workaround into fault handler.  This should work
   around USB legacy BIOS bugs too, although not completely (we cannot fix
   faults injected by SMM into user space 64bit processes)
 - Quieten some unimplemented 32bit syscall warnings and avoid repeated
   warnings.
 - Set LDT segment limit correctly (fixes problems with some modify_ldt
   user)
 - Remove obsolete ldt rw lock.
 - Remove sys32_modify_ldt. The standard sys_modify_ldt is equivalent.
 - Remove traces of old kgdb support
 - Merge CFI changes from Jim Houston and some other smaller changes The
   kernel assembly functions are described with dwarf2 unwind
   information now, which makes it easier for debuggers to make sense of
   stack backtraces.  The code is only enabled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.
   Note this implies that when you use CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO you may need
   an binutils update.
 - defconfig updated
 - Readd sleep support code (Pavel Machek)
 - Drop fusion and flush workarounds from IOMMU code
 - Add iommu=nofullflush option
 - Rewrite 32bit emulation for siginfo conversion (Joe Korty)
 - Allow remapping of scatterlists after unmap. This fixes some problems
   with the SCSI layer retrying previously mapped sg lists when iommu
   merging was enabled (it's disabled now by default)
 - Port HPET rtc device emulation code from i386
