Also added usb_get_intfdata() and usb_set_intfdata() functions to set the
struct usb_interface private pointer easier.

This patch tries to check the return value of kmalloc taking the necesary
action to solve the problem.

Here is the patch for 2.5.53. It removes parameters that have no use
in the ultracam driver (and they were broken anyway).

Attached is a patch leveraging some of the new generic dma stuff:

- Replaces dma mapping calls in usbcore with generic equivalents.
   This is a minor code shrink (which we'd hoped could happen).

- Pass dma mask along, so net drivers can notice it'd be good to
   set NETIF_F_HIGHDMA; or scsi ones can set highmem_io.  (Some
   Intel EHCI setups are able to support this kind of DMA.)

- Updates one net driver (usbnet) to set NETIF_F_HIGHDMA when
   appropriate, mostly as an example (since I can't test this).

- Provides Documentation/usb/dma.txt, describing current APIs.
   (Unchanged by this patch, except dma mask visibility.)

- Converted another info() to dev_info(), and likewise a couple
   dbg() to dev_dbg() conversions in the modified routine.

The number of FIXMEs was conserved: the generic API doesn't yet
fix the error reporting bugs in the PCI-specific mapping API.

This is to access the private pointer in struct usb_serial

[PATCH] USB: fix up the usb-serial drivers due to the removal of the struct usb_serial_port private pointer.

The struct device pointer should be used instead.

as "offsetof pp->entries". Which happens to be true on 32-bit platforms,
but not on 64-bit ones.

From Anton Blanchard.

In vm86 mode we did not save/restore %gs [and %fs] properly, which
breaks new-style threading.

on x86 - the kernel doesn't really care (as long as it's all flat 32-bit),
and it means that the return path for sysenter/sysexit can avoid re-loading
the segment registers.

NOTE! This means that _all_ kernel code (not just the sysenter path) must
be appropriately changed, since the kernel knows the conventions and doesn't
save/restore DS/ES internally on context switches etc.

The ActiveSync USB "protocol" seems to be the same for all WinCE
devices seen so far. So it seems reasonable to pre-emptively support
all devices which work with ActiveSync.

Here is my proposal for bringing ide-scsi in line with the current kernel.

The attached patch does:

1. Change from old style initialization to the new hotplug initialization model.
   It involves declaring both a parent device and bus kernel object, which feels
   a bit awkward, but hey, it works.

2. Make ide-scsi request sense itself when CHECK_CONDITION is asserted. This 
   change particularly makes ide-scsi run much smoother on my test box.

3. Implement eh_abort_handler and eh_device_reset_handler. I have no real way
   to thoroughly test these new routines, so for this part particularly I ask
   for peer review.

This patch uses the module_param() facility introduced in
lk 2.5.52 (see linux/moduleparam.h) to simplify boot time
and module load time parameters for the scsi_debug driver.

The intent of module_param() is to unify
   - boot time parameters
   - module load time parameters
   - sysfs driver parameters
into a few simple calls (seen from the driver's point of view).
The sysfs capability hasn't been implemented yet. Using
module_param() removes over 100 lines of boilerplate code
from the scsi_debug driver.

Following the conventions suggested by Rusty, scsi_debug's
kernel boot time options have been changed to this form:
    scsi_debug.num_devs=2
while the module load options are now like this:
    modprobe scsi_debug num_devs=2

This patch also updates the Kconfig entry for the scsi_debug
driver.

Okay, I looked at the patches that are in mainline and they look pretty
cool to me.  When looking over the code (in preparation of implementing
Justin's suggestion to get rid of the highmem_io flag) I found quite
a bit small stuff to make the code in that area a lot cleaner:

- new helper scsi_calculate_bounce_limit to calculate the bounce
  limit for a scsi host, remove a copy of that code ni st.c
- scsi_initialize_queue gets replace with scsi_alloc_queue, this
  one now takes only a struct Scsi_Host and returns the request queue,
  it's paired with a small scsi_free_queue helper.

This patch removes a now unnecessary debug line taht broke compilation
when debugging was enabled.

This patch allows the scanner driver to accept devices with more than
one interface. That's needed by some multi-function periphals (e.g.
scanner+printer).
