(pulled change from 2.4)

the second patch:
replaces busy_loop with a simple macro doing a schedule_timeout. busy_loop was never
called from interrupt conext anyway, so no need for that. and the sti() is gone.

hi

this patch does:
- net_device is no longer allocated as part of the driver's private structure,
  instead it's allocated via alloc_netdev
- xirc2ps_detach calls xirc2ps_release if necessary (like the other drivers)

against 2.5.70-bk.

drivers/net/pcnet32.c: In function `pcnet32_init_ring':
drivers/net/pcnet32.c:1006: warning: comparison between pointer and integer

According to a report the my_inet_aton code in bond_main.c is copied
from 4.4BSD, but it doesn't carry a BSD copyright license. In addition
it is somewhat redundant with the standard in_aton.  Convert it
to use the linux function.

Error handling is a bit worse than before, but not much.

Patch for 2.5 bonding. The 2.4 version has the same problem, but afaik
it is scheduled to be replaced by the 2.5 codebase anyways.

init_thread_union doesn't need to be exported to modules.

We haven't exported the symbol on ia64 for ages, and we should be able
to make the init_thread_union local to arch/ARCH/kernel/init_task.c and
that in turn would let us remove its declaration from
include/linux/sched.h altogether (i.e., no more ugly #ifdefs).

Trivial addition needed for the hp Itanium machines.

the top of the kernel stack space before entering userland.

 Kay Sievers tried with his ~500kB firmware image and kmalloc was not
 capable of getting that much memory. He suggested using vmalloc which
 sound reasonable.

Made variables static that were global, and cleaned up some sparse warnings.

This patch converts the file to C99 initializers. The patch is against
the current BK. The patch is untested as I don't have access to an Alpha
machine.

The oprofile_arch_exit() in discarded .exit.text section is being
called from oprofile_init() in retained .init.text section.
This causes final link failure with oprofile compiled in.

Add missing tty_set_operations().

In some cases, we're reading the wrong bits for large tags.  This patch corrects
the issue by setting the affected bits forward by an offset of 2 (skipping over
the size portion of the tag).

Must have missed it earlier, but the pci module parameter is not needed.

The irq index is used instead of the dma index when parsing dmas.
