There are some bad compiler issues with section confusion ("const" stuff
likes going into the rodata section).

This corrects the back off count so that write errors will not be
ignored

This patch:
- re-enables cumana partition parsing
- adds eesox partition parsing
- makes the powertec partition parsing fail if sector 0 looks like
  a PC bios partition table

Rather than having a single "acorn_partition" parser for all these
types, we list them explicitly in check.c instead, along with some
explaination about why they're where they are.

cifs_statfs() is called with a pointer to a struct kstatfs, so let's
propagate this type into the helper function.

Fix a couple of compilation errors in the mouse code.

It was using a non-existent socket[] index and not doing it for all
sockets.

Also, default to the 10-byte version of mode sense, since a lot
of modern SCSI-like devices don't even support the old version
(we will automatically downgrade to the 6-byte version if the long
version isn't supported).

allocation have only the two standard ports by default.

Which was what MELAN really wanted, and others don't
really care.

Yet another Asus motherboard hiding features

We currently mask off offline CPUs in both set_cpus_allowed and
sys_sched_setaffinity.  This is firstly redundant, and secondly
erroneous when more CPUs come online (eg. setting affinity to all 1s
should mean all CPUs, including future ones).

We mask with cpu_online_map() in sys_sched_getaffinity *anyway* (which
is another issue, since this is not valid with changing of online
cpus either), so userspace won't see any difference.

This patch makes set_cpus_allowed() return -errno, and check that in
sys_sched_setaffinity.

Matt Fleming points out that returning int from any_online_cpu
where cpu numbers are passed as unsigned ints elsewhere is awkward
and a little dangerous.

Make any_online_cpu() match find_first_bit(), by returning NR_CPUS
when no cpu is found, rather than -1.  This also simplifies the
future case where NR_CPUS > BITS_PER_LONG.

Remove the empty initializer workaround that was added for egcs 1.1.
Only 2.95+ is supported now, so all compilers should support empty
structures.

The if just checked for __GNUC__, which means that 2.95 got
the workaround (and the incompatibility) too even though it didn't need it.

Advantage is that gcc 2.95 and 3.x compiled kernels are now potentially
binary compatible.  Module loading still checks the compiler version,
but it might be removable.

ext3 and JBD still have enormous numbers of lines which end in tabs.  Fix
them all up.

From: "Stephen C. Tweedie" <sct@redhat.com>

ext3 has long had a problem wherein it will unnecessarily write to a
read-only filesystem during the mount process.  It does this in preparing the
journal superblock's sequence numbers.

But if the filesystem was shut down cleanly we do not need to do this.
Detect the situation and avoid modifying and writing out the journal
superblock.
