The current code reserves 60 bytes for the symbol string of every
exported symbol, unnecessarily wasting kernel memory since most symbols
are much shorter. We revert to the 2.4 solution where the actual strings
are saved out of line and only the pointers are kept.

The latest module-init-tools already handle this case, people who are
using older versions need to update to make sure depmod works
properly.

Saves 80 KB in vmlinux with my .config.

kallsyms is broken in parisc on 2.5.56 again because of assembler syntax
subtleties.  This is the offending line:
  
printf("\t.byte 0x%02x ; .asciz\t\"%s\"\n"
  
Note the `;' separating the two statements.  On some platforms `;' is a
comment in assembly code, and thus the following .asciz is ignored.

The current LOG_BUF size is a bit confusing the first
time that "make oldconfig" is used.  It's difficult to
select anything other than the default value.

Also, you (Linus) expressed a desire to have this
configurable only if DEBUG_KERNEL or "kernel hacking"
was enabled, so I've changed it to accomplish that.

This patch also uses Kconfig in a way that Roman intended
since a patch in 2.5.52 which enables default values if
a prompt is not enabled, but lets values be chosen when
the prompt is enabled.  You also asked for this in setting
this config option.

This provides for separate global and per-thread debug control
register value(s), which are switched as appropriate.  This allows
us to use both an external JTAG debugger for debugging the kernel
as well as using gdb to debug user programs.

This is needed for Open Firmware on older powermacs to be able to
load the wrapper.  Without this OF gives a "CLAIM failed" error.

probing tells us they already have a range. The old information is

Some error checking was added ca. 2.5.58 that would remove a device from 
its bus's list of devices if device_attach() returned an error. This 
included errors returned from drv->probe(), and the -ENODEV error returned
if the device wasn't bound to any driver.

This was BAD since it was perfectly fine for a device not to bind to a 
driver immediately, and for drivers to return an error on probe() if the 
device doesn't exactly qualify as one it supports. 

This changes device_attach() and driver_attach() to both return void, 
instead of an error, since they really can never fail hard enough to cause
the device or driver to be removed from the bus.

The pci_enable_device() function will fail at least on i386 (see
arch/i386/pci/i386.c: pcibios_enable_resource (line 260)) if the
resources have not been assigned previously.  Hence the ostensible
resource collisions.

I added a small comment (and modified another) so future janitors won't
move pci_enable above pci_assign_resource again.

Here are some minor fixes and cleanups to the cpia (Creative WebCam II et
al) driver.  These have been extracted from the sourceforge CVS archive,
and I'd like to get these in before a larger change to the parallel port
code to support more transfer modes.

This patch contains:
  * cpia: use the <linux/list.h> list implementation, instead of cpia specific
    version.
  * cpia_pp: don't clear camera list after cameras have been registered (as
    this prevents them being deregistered, and oops after module
    unload).
  * hold cpia_pp list spinlock while walking list, not just during the
    element removal.

  speedtouch: use SpeedTouch everywhere (was sometimes Speed Touch).

  speedtouch: make more functions static.

  speedtouch: kill receive queue tasklet on shutdown (race pointed
out by Oliver Neukum).

Current uses of the urb_list have all been to make
sure we have some list of pending urbs, so we can
clean them all up after HCs die, and avoid trying
to unlink something that's not actually linked.
So order hasn't mattered.

This makes the order be FIFO, which is more useful
for other purposes.  Like being the HCD's internal
schedule, or dumping for debug.
