CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching
the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as:

static int return_EIO(void)
{
        return -EIO;
}

#define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO))

static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
        .create         = bad_inode_create
...etc...

The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.

This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...

I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
for each return type, like this:

static int return_EIO_int(void)
{
	return -EIO;
}
#define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int))

static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops =
{
	.create		= EIO_ERROR_INT,
...etc...

but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
actual op signature.  Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
a value.

At the moment the inode/dentry cache hash tables (common by way of
alloc_large_system_hash()) are incorrectly sized by their respective
detection logic when we attempt to use large base pages on systems with
little memory.

This results in odd behaviour when using a 64kB PAGE_SIZE, such as:

Dentry cache hash table entries: 8192 (order: -1, 32768 bytes)
Inode-cache hash table entries: 4096 (order: -2, 16384 bytes)

The mount cache hash table is seemingly the only one that gets this right
by directly taking PAGE_SIZE in to account.

The following patch attempts to catch the bogus values and round it up to
at least 0-order.

Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7667

This is because the packet driver tries to send down read/write BLOCK_PC
commands that don't use a bio and do not use sg lists.

The right fix is to replace all the packet_command stuff in the packet
driver by scsi_execute() which needs to be lifted from scsi code to
the block code for that.

Fix the bug for now.  It's not the full way to a generic execute block pc
infrastcuture but fixes the bug for the time being.

The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under
the following circumstances:

 - if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear,
   or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction).  Userspace can check rflags,
   but the other cases or not testable under the current API.
 - if injection fails because of a fault during delivery.  This probably
   never happens under normal guests.
 - if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that
   it can be handled by the host.

In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing
the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest.

This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit
when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt
at the right time.  Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

This patch fixes 2.6.15 regression, is straightforward and tested.

Cable detection got broken probably while converting the driver to support
multiple controllers.  Cable detection is done by examining how BIOS
configured the attached devices.  The current code is broken in that it
examines the status *after* modifying Clk66 configuration ending up
detecting 40c cables as 80c.  This patch fixes it.

The pci_find_subsys gets called very early by obsolete ide setup parameters.
This is a bogus call since pci is not initialized yet, so the list is empty.
But in the mean time, interrupts get enabled by down_read.  This can result in
a kernel panic when the irq controller gets initialized.

This patch checks if the device list is empty before taking the semaphore, and
hence will not enable irq's.  Furthermore it will inform that it is called
while pci_devices is empty as a reminder that the ide code needs to be fixed.

The pci_get_subsys can get called in the same manner, and as such is patched
in the same manner.

Having interrupts on this early can make systems PANIC when they initialize
