forward-ported from 2.4

A recent scheduler change looks to of affected this, and I missed it
since I did my last testing on SMP only.  Please, apply.

Linus,

The attached patch adds a Documentation/preempt-locking.txt file which
describes the new locking rules wrt preemptive kernels (ie, watch
per-CPU data, etc).  It also updates a CREDITS entry and adds some
comments.

Patch is against 2.5.4-pre5, please apply.

Another lseek fix, spotted by Dave Hansen @ IBM.  Missing a
corresponding lock_kernel for an unlock_kernel.  Patch against
2.5.4-pre5, please apply.  Thanks,

	Robert Love

- Fix bug in scripts that was causing CDRW hang
- add sense buffer length initialisation
- update lasi700 to new driver model and fix rmmod hang
- add correct MCA reporting to D700 driver

	Patch converts a bunch of places that hadn't been caught when
->s_id was introduced.  Please, apply.

	affs digs in blk_size[] to find the size of device (it
has its analog of superblock living in the middle of disk).  That
information is available in ->s_bdev->bd_inode->i_size - no need
to mess with major/minor/arrays to get it.

	/proc/modules switched to use of seq_file, cleaned up.

	Straightforward rewrite to seq_file.

	Please, apply.  Otherwise we eat quota like there's no tomorrow ;-/

It compiles in -pre5 but doesn't work unless you also apply the patch
below. Without this patch, bus_id will be empty which makes
device_register fail.

Big bits first, I'll redo the smaller bits tomorrow after some sleep.

There are a couple of errors in the DMA changes to the
aha1542.c driver that appeared in 2.5.4pre3:

- a typo (BUF vs BUS)
- a macro handed a page instead of a scatterlist
- printk format length mismatch

Paul.

Make dentry and ->i_sem manipulations in driverfs explicit.  Something
is seriously rotten there and real fixes will take non-trivial work
(e.g, I suspect that we actually ought to kill driverfs_rename() - at
least cross-directory one for regular files, maybe completely).  This
patch simply cleans the ground. 

	Mostly cosmetical cleanup - sane variable names, etc.
That's pretty much it for balloc.c cleanups - stuff after that
will be about decent threading.
