- Apply small host chip driver cosmetics by Andrej xxx Panin
   and Vojtech Pavlik.

 - Remove support for "disc recovery time". It could only supposedly
   help with really simplistic broken devices from the past,
   which didn't have moderately sophisticated controllers.
   And finally Vojtech voted for it as well... so I just trust him.

 - Apply icside host chip driver and other ARM related updates by Russell King,
   which finally settle the "portability" work a bit, well hopefully.

 - Make the different ATAPI device type drivers use a unified packet command
   structure. We have to start to push them together.

This patch is rather trivial in itself, but the plentora of code duplication it
is trying to fight against is making it unfortunately rather big...

 - Nuke COMMERIAL and similar spurious configuration options...
   The fact that every single default configuration option contained
   those bits makes this trivial patch appear rather big.

 - Move ll_10byte_cmd_build to the only place where it's used: ide-cd.  The SCSI
   layer does have it's own implementation which additionally it's messing
   around with the hard_nr_sectors struct request value.  One should *not*
   provide "infrastructure" until its really used as such.

   If anywhere this should reside in a file called ATAPI.

 - Unfold the INIT_REQUEST macro from blk.h. This showed up plenty of duplicate
   checks for QUEUE_EMPTY. Clean them as well. Remove the over cautious
   major(CURRENT->rq_dev != MAJOR_NR) checks. During the last several years I
   never saw any report about it. Looking at the !CURRENT->bio it is clear that
   dereferencing NULL will provide the same kind of panic as the check.  Some
   comments around the code in question show nicely that indeed INIT_REQUEST
   was a good example of code obfuscation.

 - A short look at RQ_INACTIVE shows that it is only used inside the scsi.c file
   and during the removal of devices. This shows that the many checks for
   RQ_INACTIVE are not necessary. Looking closer even shows that some of them
   did happen before checks for an empty queue. Plenty of drivers didn't care
   about it and the CD-ROM ones should be handled properly, because the
   most common drivers would fail as well. Comments indicate that this
   was an leftover from 1.3 days...

 - Apply cleanup of host chip drivers by Bartomiej Zonierkiewicz:

     affected drivers - aec62xx.c, alim15x3.c, cmd64x.c, hpt34x.c, sis5513.c

     new tuning scheme (wip) part 1:
	- introduce ratemask()
	- use ata_timing_mode()
	- use ide_config_drive_speed() return value

     forward port from convert.10:
	- support for AEC6280, AEC6280R
	- misc cleanups

     I had to fix a small typo in sis5513 code...

 - Add a new entry for an old VIA cell hiding as something new.
   (Pointed out by Kees Bakker.)

 - Make the synchronization token active resident on the same level as the
   spin lock. They interact with each other.

 - Synchronize with linux-2.5.17.

 - HPT366 driver typo fix by Andries Brouwer.

 - Export udma_tcq_enable() symbol right now. The blk_get_request() is undefined
   as well.

	Unlike other drivers, rd.c wants block size to be set once an
forever (for everybody else setting block size as high as possible and
letting filesystems change it with set_blocksize() is OK; rd.c treats
invalidate_buffers() as "kill the ramdisk contents".

new helpers for seq_file - for cases where we don't have a non-trivial
iterator and just want to use seq_{printf,putc,...}.

It seems by the comments the statements were only there to prevent the
thread from finding itself as TASK_RUNNING after a kernel preemption.
Since we reverted to the original preemption behavior (which does not do
that) it should be safe.  Looking over the code confirms - it seems to
not be doing anything evil and is properly locked otherwise.

As andrew pointed out, it is bad idea to run_task_queue() when
spinlock is held. This fixes it (only could be triggered by user
pressing Magic-D). There's minor problem left where Magic-D could be
delayed/ignored under high load. I'll either fix that or kill Magic-D
support (with acpi, it is very easy to trigger swsusp by echo 4 >
/proc/acpi/sleep, so magic key is probably not neccessary any more).

This implements a get_cpu() and matching put_cpu() to safely hand out
the current CPU to avoid preempt races.  Andrew and I have been bitching
about the need for such a method.

I also went ahead and replaced an example of current explicit
preempt-off with the new methods, as a case in point.

One more build fix, this time for !CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND but
CONFIG_ACPI:

I've choosen this solution for now, as it is safest for ACPI people.
I'll modify suspend.c so that freezing part can be included without
whole suspend-to-disk support being included.

Fix compile problem with suspending diabled

Here's suspend-to-{RAM,disk} combined patch for
2.5.17. Suspend-to-disk is pretty stable and was tested in
2.4-ac. Suspend-to-RAM is little more experimental, but works for me,
and is certainly better than disk-eating version currently in kernel.

Major parts are: process stopper, S3 specific code, S4 specific
code.

People relied on the build generation number to find out if they actually
booted the right kernel, only incrementing it on config changes isn't
enough for them. So this patch goes back to the old behavior, only done
right this time:

We now don't increment the generation number on every invocation of make, 
but on every link of vmlinux. At the same time, this patch fixes the
Makefile to only relink vmlinux if any of its prequisite object files
(or the command line) changed. Incrementing the version number
happens *after* we decided to relink vmlinux.

Before overwriting version.h, check if it actually changed - otherwise
we will unnecessarily rebuild a lot of files, as e.g. module.h depends
on version.h, and many files include module.h

Hi Linus!

Please apply this patch. It updates the srm_env.c driver (to access
Alpha's SRM environment variables) to its current version (which is
already included in up-to-date 2.4.x kernels).

MfG, JBG

This patch cleans up the remaining direct tests against x86_capability.
      It moves the cpu_has_* macros to the more appropriate
cpufeature.h.  It also introduces the cpu_has() macro to test features
for individual cpus.

This patch converts drivers/char/random.c and
drivers/input/joystick/analog.c to use the cpu_has_tsc macro.

This patch takes the cpu_has_mmx macro introduced in the xor.h header
and puts it in the proper place.  It also converts the ov511 driver to
use the new macro.

Created the first of a series of usb-storage patches
this afternoon. Please find it below or on ftp.XX.kernel.org
under people/aeb/2.5.16-us-patch .
It removes 5% of the usb-storage code, but should, if I made
no mistake, not affect the behaviour of the code.

(This is the introduction of raw_bulk.c to hold USB-bulk
and scatter-gather code that was repeated three-five times
in various drivers. The next patch is smartmedia.c.)

fixed problem with UHCI_HCD drivers set to 'y' were not causing the build
to go into the drivers/usb/host directory.

new vendor and device ID

Additional support for external journal.  We're basically adding uuid's
to both the file system and the journal to tie the two together.

It should be _after_ we have flushed the TLB.

o Add dependencies on generated files explicitly to the
  aic7xxx Makefile - These cannot be figured out
  automatically
 
o Rename the precompiled firmware files to 
  shipped_aic7xxx_{reg,seq}.h, so that we don't overwrite 
  shipped files when regenerating the firmware

This patch fixes a problem with reiserfs on 64 bit machines.  Our
struct virtual_item is a different size there, and some calculations
that assume otherwise lead to this panic create_virtual_node:

vs-8030: create_virtual_node: virtual node space consumed

(Patch has been ACKed by the bfs maintainer)

Now that bfs no more is included in the big unions in fs.h it makes
sense to move the contents of bfs_fs_i.h and bfs_fs_sb.h to a bfs-private
location.  I've created fs/bfs/bfs.h for that, also merging in bfs_defs.h.

In addition I've changed si_imap to an unsigned long pointer as the bitops
now use that type explicitly.

Remove an unused label and an unused variable.

pg tried to issue bitops on int, this fixes it to use an ulong instead.
