there is a little memory leak in i2c-ali15x3.c .
You can reproduce the BUG as follows:
In a PC with no such device unloading i2c-ali15x3 cause an oops in release_region.
I've fixed by moving release_region() from i2c_ali15x3_exit() to ali15x3_remove().

This updates the driver from version 2.4.0->2.5.0, adding
the CCM_FLIP command.

won't even compile without it.

[ GregKH has already done this is USB and PCI core. ]

Based on a request from Matthew Wilcox, convert instances of
pci_dev->slot_name to use pci_name() instead:

  "In order to support PCI Domains, we have to stop using slot_name.
   It's related to driver model transition too since pci_dev->slot_name
   was redundant with pci_dev->dev.bus_id.  So I introduced the inline
   function pci_name().  Now there's about 300-400 places in the tree
   that're using slot_name which need to be converted to use pci_name().
   once that's done, we can remove the slot_name pointer in pci_dev and
   save a (void *) per pci_dev."

Uninitialize static variables initialized to 0 so they are pushed to the
.bss instead of .data.

Return proper error code from copy_to_user failure in fs/sysfs/bin.c

From: maximilian attems <janitor@sternwelten.at>

Use char arrays instead of char* for strings:
 a. uses a single variable instead of two.
 b. shorter code.
 c. __initdata will be completely dropped.

Neither one of these drivers has a clear maintainer.  The patches are
straight forward and tested.  Both drivers are released under the GPL.

This fixes a bug in locking (we take one lock twice) for old quota
format.  Without this patch the old format simply don't work (I really
don't know how that could happen).

Thanks go to Herbert Potzl who spotted it.

These have been in the pci.ids file for awhile but not in <linux/pci_ids.h>
They're used by my drivers/atm/lanai.c driver that has been in tree for
some time now (it provides its own copy of these #define's protected by
an #ifndef - I'll remove that once this patch goes into the mainline)

As far as I can tell "pci_set_consistent()" doesn't exist - the docs probably
meant to say "pci_set_consistent_dma_mask()".

Diagnosis from Christian Vogel <vogel@skunk.physik.uni-erlangen.de>

cpu_idle() tests pm_idle() just once then falls into the

	while (!need_resched())
		idle();

loop.

Problem is, that loop never terminates (need_resched() always returns false
on preemptive kernels).

The other problem is that ACPI updates pm_idle _after_ cpu_idle() has taken a
local copy.  So we always call default_idle(), even when pm_idle is pointing
at a new idle handler.

So fix it to pick up changed values of pm_idle() each time around the inner
loop.

install_page() is a library function which we expect will be used by all
drivers which implement vm_operations.populate().  Therefore it should be
exported to kernel modules.

Petr Vandrovec has a project which involves sparse mappings of device memory
which can use remap_file_pages().  It needs install_page().

The first patch convert these watchdog modules to the new module_param syntax.

The second patch fixes machzwd.c (you need to declare the variable before
using the module_param subroutine).

A 16bit number can _never_ be > 65536.  So don't bother to check for it.

A few days ago I needed a serial line and couldnt find the option in
menuconfig.  Turned out that SERIAL_8250 depends on EXPERIMENTAL.  I
suppose that dependence should be removed.

The wan driver I maintain was hit by hdlc changes too. Please
apply patch below. It is diffed against plain -test2 but it
applies equally as well against -test2-mm2.

More important changes will come in a near future for this
driver but I'd rather keep the changes separated.

Description:
- after the hdlc changes, dscc4 module doesn't need to set
  hdlc->proto(.id) itself anymore;
- MOD_{INC/DEC}_USE_COUNT removal;
- SET_NETDEV_DEV() use;

The following patch upgrades generic HDLC to support "new" protocol

Fix ACPI compile error if doing processor probing only: acpi_find_bmc is
only available #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER.
