2.5.50 included a change from -ac which changed MSNDCLAS_HAVE_BOOT and
MSNDPIN_HAVE_BOOT to asked questions. This is wrong (I know since I was
the one who wrote the patch Alan picked up...).

They shouldn't ask questions, the following patch reverts my buggy
change.

The change to eata_pio_proc.c contained a typo: a semicolon instead of a
comma.

elf AUX-table entry.

Move the 'vsyscall' page to 0xffffe000, leaving a hole at the top
of the address space.

Older gcc's do not support that form of ellipsis in a macro.

Instead of doing a "int 0x80" instruction for system calls,
user space can do a "call 0xfffff000" which will do the right
thing regardless of what kind of system call support the CPU
has.

The linear target was getting the start sector wrong when doing a
dm_get_device(). [Kevin Corry]

The block layer does not honour bio->bi_size when issuing io, instead
it performs io to the complete bvecs.  This means we have to change
the bio splitting code slightly.

Given a bio we repeatedly apply one of the following three operations
until there is no more io left in the bio:

1) The remaining io does not cross an io/target boundary, so just
   create a clone and issue all of the io.

2) There are some bvecs at the start of the bio that are not split by
   a target boundary.  Create a clone for these bvecs only.

3) The first bvec needs splitting, use bio_alloc() to create *two*
   bios, one for the first half of the bvec, the other for the second
   half.  A bvec can never contain more than one boundary.

o  If there's an error you still need to call bio_endio with bio->bi_size
   as the 'done' param.

o  Simplify clone_endio.

Remove verbose debug message 'Splitting page'.

Remove some paranoia in highmem.c

Some fields in the duplicated bio weren't being set up properly in
__split_page(). [Kevin Corry]

md->pending was being incremented for each clone rather than just
once. [Kevin Corry]

dec_pending(): only bother spin locking if io->error is going to be
updated. [Kevin Corry]

Add a blk_run_queues() call to encourage pending io to flush
when we're doing a dm_suspend().

dm_suspend(): Stop holding the read lock around the while loop that
waits for pending io to complete.

queue_io() was checking the DMF_SUSPENDED flag rather than the new
DMF_BLOCK_IO flag.  This meant suspend could deadlock under load.

Give each device its own io mempool to avoid a potential
deadlock with stacked devices.  [HM + EJT]

There's a bug in the dm-stripe.c constructor failing top check if enough
destinations are handed in. [Heinz Mauelshagen]

minor change for dm-stripe.c. Tests for correct chunksize before it allocates
the stripe context. [Heinz Mauelshagen]
