No more users of the autoirq_xxx() API existed, so this file is not
only unused, it isn't even listed in any makefiles.

This patch makes the b44-after-bcm4400 scenario work for
me. What was happening is that the broadcom driver sets a "power off MAC"
bit, and we didn't remove that when initializing the chip.
Also added some (a bit ugly, I know  ) logic to clear up the address
filter stuff, which is what recent broadcom drivers do...

We need to always allocate at least one indirect block
pointer, since we always fill out blocks[0] even if
we don't have any groups.

Trivia.

CMD640 driver doesn't use generic IDE PCI code (it doesn't even include
this header).

- many Maxtor disks incorrectly claim CACHE FLUSH EXT command support,
  fix it by checking both CACHE FLUSH EXT command and LBA48 support
  (thanks to Eric D. Mudama for help in fixing this)

- write_cache() was called with 'drive->id->cfs_enable_2 & 0x3000' as 'int arg'
  argument which was always truncated to zero due to 'u8 drive->wcache = arg'
  assignment so write cache was indeed enabled but drive->wcache was zero
  (thanks to Rene Herman for help in debugging this)

- flush cache in idedisk_start_power_step() only if ATA-6 CACHE FLUSH (EXT)
  bits are present in disk's identify data (prevents sending unknown commands)

- set drive->wcache in idedisk_setup() not idedisk_attach() (no need to check
  id->command_set_2 - we check id->cfs_enable_2 instead in write_cache() call)

- use ide_cacheflush_p() in idedisk_setup()

- minor cleanups

This code is shared between i386 and x86-64, and x86-64 needs to check
for empty nodes here.  Otherwise you can get oopses at boot in some
circumstances. 

This handles empty nodes != 0; empty node zero are still broken in other
ways.

This changes the /dev/mem caching behaviour on x86-64 to be compatible
with i386.

By default everything is set cached.

This actually makes WC MTRRs on AMD systems work, which would get
overriden by the UC PAT bits that were set earlier.  This can make DVD
decoding with hardware support a lot faster. 

It also supports O_SYNC now, like i386, although that is not really
safe, because it allows the user to create undefined cache attribute
conflicts that can corrupt caches in some circumstances.  I kept it for
now.  Better would to disallow it, until Terrence Ripperda's PAT
framework is getting merged, that can avoid these problems. 

Actually it would be probably a good idea to add a printk here to catch
broken programs for i386 and x86-64, but that is for another patch.

Various accumulated x86-64 patches and bug fixes.

It fixes one nasty bug that has been there since NX is used by 
default in the kernel. With heavy AGP memory allocation it would
set NX on parts of the kernel mapping in some corner cases, which gave
endless crash loops. Thanks goes to some wizards in AMD debug labs
for getting a trace out of this.

Also various other fixes. This patches only changes x86-64 specific
files, i have some changes outside too that I am sending separately.

Authentication code in net/sunrpc makes frequent use of groups_alloc(0),
which seems to clobber memory past the end of what it allocated.

If called with gidsetsize == 0, groups_alloc will set nblocks = 0,
but still does a

	group_info->blocks[0] = group_info->small_block;

Fix up a mistake in the 2.4->2.6 forward-port of this driver.

The attached patch is the outcome of a discussion with Nathan.

When laptop mode is active, there is no need for XFS to wake up xfsbufd (the
daemon that flushes buffers that are too old) too often.  The default is once
every second, this patch makes laptop mode do it once every 30 seconds.

From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>

XFS now uses
	/proc/sys/fs/xfs/xfssyncd_centisecs
	/proc/sys/fs/xfs/xfsbufd_centisecs

Here's a patch to support these values in the laptop mode control script.

The old drivers/char sh-sci driver is no long used by anyone, both sh and

gcc 3.4 specific problem.  This patch should fix it.  Actually it would be
better to move all these EXPORT_SYMBOLs into lib/string.c, it is silly that
each arch has to duplicate all that.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Someone blindly added sysfs support to the driver long time ago without
understanding the implications (and if they were understood the driver
would need half a rewrite for it).  Herber Xu recently noticed the problems
this causes on unload, so let's if 0 out all that code and get the driver
working again.

It's silly that writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger does nothing if you haven't
enabled /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq.  So provide a new __handle_sysrq() which
ignores the sysrq_enabled check.

The patch also withdraws __handle_sysrq_nolock() from the kernel API.  It had
no callers.

This patch makes the following code work again:

#ifdef STT_REGISTER
                if (info->hdr->e_machine == EM_SPARC ||
                    info->hdr->e_machine == EM_SPARCV9) {
                        /* Ignore register directives. */
                        if (ELF_ST_TYPE(sym->st_info) == STT_REGISTER)
                                break;
                }
#endif

This portion of code is sparc specific and nothing else in modpost.c uses
e_machine meaning cross-compiling for sparc on i386 (or any little endian
machine) is the only way to experience the bug.

Without it, e_machine has the wrong value and modpost then generates a lot
of "*** Warning: \"symbol\" [filename.ko] undefined" messages.

The patch below resolves the "Not Yet Implemented" print_modules() thing.
This is a really useful feature for distros; it allows us to do statistical
analysis on which modules are present how often in oopses compared to how
often they are used normally.  In addition it helps to spot candidates for
certain bugs without having to go back to the customer asking for this
information.

Thanks to Standford guys, a case where reiserfs can dereference NULL
pointer if memory allocation fail during mount was identified.

From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>

The block layer checks for -EINVAL from block layer driver ioctls.  This is
wrong - ENOTTY is unknown and some drivers correctly use this.  I suspect
for an internal ioctl 2.7 should change to -ENOIOCTLCMD and bitch about old
style returns

This is conservative fix for the 2.6 case, it keeps the bogus -EINVAL to
avoid breaking stuff
