sound/pcmcia/vx/vx_entry.c:

This patch removes the PCMCIA timer release functionality which is no
longer required. Without this the module does not compile.

Too much cut-and-paste, noticed by Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>

On PPC32 we reorder the arguments so they fit into 6 registers.  Glibc will
need a two-line stub to change them from the standard order to the ordering
used by the system call: (fd, advice, offset, len).

In both 2.4 and in 2.6, error handling for bad cdrom media is
wrong.  And it is my fault I'm afraid, since I botched an earlier
fix for the problem by putting the fix in the wrong spot.

My kids have a "Jumpstart Toddlers" cd they have long since
completely killed, which makes a great test disc.  Without this
fix, the best time projection I can get for completing a dd type
sector copy is about 2 years...  Most of that is spent thrashing
about in kernel space trying to re-read sectors we already know
are not correctable....  After the fix, I was able to rip a copy
the CD (or rather muddle through it getting lots of EIO errors)
in about 15 minutes.

Attached is the fix for 2.6.x,

Yes, looks good: reset the iterator at allocation.

Remove the PCMCIA release timer that got missed in earlier patch.  This
is required for successful compilation of the driver.

a valid SEP bit. The errata has it right: you have to have at
least model 3, stepping 3. Not "model >= 3 or stepping >= 3".

Fix the test accordingly.

ESTALE errors.

resent since you don't know whether the server is replying to the
first or the second transmission. However we're currently setting
the cutoff point to be the timeout of the first transmission.

This patch moves the cutoff point to the actual start of the
retransmission.

in line with what is done for TCP.

Be conservative when calculating RTO. Round up the residues.
