... as if "nohide" is in used, it will be the wrong filehandle, and
returning a filehandle is optional anyway.

When raid0 needs to split a request, it uses 'block' (1K) addresses
rather than sector (512b) addresses, which causes problems if the sector
address is odd.  This patch fixes the problem.

As found by Herbert Xu: the last v4l update broke bttv.  videobuf_iolock
was passed a vb that has just been filled with zeros. 

Fixed like this.

From: "Noah J. Misch" <noah@caltech.edu>

The Silicon Image driver is not building properly when CONFIG_PROC_FS is unset.
This patch corrects that problem.  It appears as though several utility
functions at the top of drivers/ide/pci/siimage.c that the driver always needs
accidentally fell within an #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS.  I also removed an excess
include while I noticed it.

They were added by Torben to workaround ServerWorks driver problems
(fixed by previous patch), but depending on BIOS can be dangerous on
other chipsets and it is always better to fix specific driver.

Removal of these options was acked by Torben.

If PIO mode should be auto-tuned xferspeed argument for svwks_tune_chipset()
is equal to 255 (0xFF).  It is then passed to ide_rate_filter() which matches
desired mode with chipset capabilities.  Since 255 is greater than any of the
values used for transfer modes, ide_rate_filter() will always return the
highest mode supported by both device/chipset (which sometimes should not be
used ie. when host is a simplex one) and the wrong mode will be set.

Thanks to Torben Mathiasen and Tomas Szepe for testing it.

The original change turned out to be too restrictive, it catches devices
that don't need the work around.

This fixes that, thanks to Bart for informing me of the screwup.

Patch from George G. Davis

Basically just adds a couple of missing vars so I can build bootpImages for SA1100.

Patch from George G. Davis

This fixes a couple of params-phys typos

Patch from George G. Davis

The boopImage build target rule is currently broken. This is the quick fix.

Patch from George G. Davis

This adds an `make uImage` build target rule to create boot images for targets which use u-Boot firmware. This build target already exists for the PPC architecture.

 - remove PFM_FL_UNSECURE support because broken
 - remove instrumentation code for syswide ctx update (5% speedup)
 - integrated cleanups from John Levon
 - remove references to pmu_conf.ovfl_val from loops, use local variable
 - updated pfm_bad_permissions()
 - support reset values for non-counting pmds
 - serialization of PFM_RESTART
 - added support for restart_active in per-task mode
 - remove potential deadlock caused by calling pfm_overflow_handler()   from pfm_load_regs()
 - fix invalid check in perfmon_mckinley() for PMC13

Software Developer's Manual page 2:270, section 11.3.2.3
says that the processor min-state save area must be in an
uncacheable region ... but current MCA recovery code
allocates the min-state area "ia64_mca_min_state_save_info"
in regular kernel data/bss.

This patch re-uses the same min-state area that the PAL/SAL
used to report the error to Linux ... which mostly requires
deleting code and declarations (some of which were wrong,
MIN_STATE_AREA_SIZE ought to have been 58).  The real "work"
is copying the pointer to the min-state area from the
sal_to_os handoff structure into the os_to_sal structure.

STANDALONE is set, since the firmware is only required for the
built-in case.

 - fix semaphore problem
 - document update and config fix
