The deprecated /proc/cpufreq interface can easily live outside the
cpufreq core now.

The CPU frequency table helpers can easily be modularized --
especially as they are not needed on all architectures, or for
all drivers (even on x86 -- see longrun and gx-suspmod)

I added this comment but the line it refers to is long gone.

The interrupt printout in /proc/stat doesnt make sense on many ppc64
boxes because we remap interrupts. Also, with enough active interrupt
sources /proc/stat might get much bigger than a page which results
in memory corruption.

This patch removes the {un}register_ss_entry/pcmcia_{un}register_socket
calls, and replaces them with generic driver-model-compatible functions.

Also, update the CodingStyle of these cs.c functions to what's recommended
in the Linux kernel.

A new device_class "pcmcia_socket_class" is introduced for PCMCIA and
CardBus sockets.  All socket drivers I could find are updated so that
they register a driver, and -if necessary- the "platform"/legacy device.
This will allow for a cleanup of pcmcia_{un}register_socket() /
{un}register_ss_entry() as well as reflect the parent for pcmcia_bus
devices.

Russell King allowed me to break sa1100_generic pcmcia support for the
time being - so drop that part of the patch for the moment.

This is the generic part of the patch and the architecture specific parts
I have been asked to forward directly to you.

There is an unused variable, `int maxlen', in net/sunrpc/clnt.c ::
rpc_setup_pipedir().

Randy Dunlap included this with the 152x stuff which then got lost in
discussion about core changes and queueing reset. 154x doesnt need the
extra discussion. Also adds a fix to use mca-legacy as needed for 1640
right now

Fixes a request region breakage
Fixes a size request error
Handles a new card type

No lilo since about 1997 has stomped the EBDA

Also recognize the NEC98 busses

Also suggest bugzilla.kernel.org now not the mailing list

This is nice and clean (your tree already knows the idents)

The big thing here is actually turning
'Your bios sucks'
into
'Your bios sucks, but we fixed it and life is good, don't panic'

Which with a vendor hat on is important.  Its currently hard to tell
whether some Linux errors are things to worry about or merely spanking
the manufacturer.  I'd urge people writing error messages to think about
that btw - does it tell the user if the problem is fixed ?

- Converts Video1394 to PCI dma.
- Converts ioctl's to standard interface.
- Various minor fixes
- Merges from 2.5.x tree

Patch from Szabolcs Berecz <szabi@mplayerhq.hu>

With the following patch maxindex is taken from an array instead of
recalculating it all the time.

This fixes compile breakage due to recent changes to scsi.h

Patch from: Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu

This is a patch to clean things up so compiling with -Wundef becomes feasible
(This patch cuts the number of warnings with 'make allyesconfig' drop from
around 10,000 to several hundred).  It was originally inspired by the
discussion of things that include linux/version.h but don't use the contents
- after doing this, I was able to find that there *WAS* at least one place
where version.h was missing (see following patch).

When EXT3_DEBUG is turned on (by editing the header file) there is one
compile failure and a few warnings.  Fix that up.

driect-io will currently return EINVAL when the application tries to read the
final bit of the file at EOF.  (assuming the file's length is not a multiple
of the filesystem blocksize).

The 2.4 kernelwill reurn 0 (it won't read it at all).

This patch changes the 2.5 kernel to allow that block to be read.
