Based on some profiles we noticed the first vmalloc region was being
continually cast out and replaced.  All modules end up there so it is one
of our hottest segments.

This patch bolts the vmalloc region into the second segment.  SLB misses on
an NFS benchmark were reduced by about 10% with this patch.

This patch fixes the virtual ethernet driver so that it will not block the
transmit queue indefinitely.  This patch appplies on top of the previous
patch from Rusty that removed skb_clone.  There is one white space fix in
hte middle of this - I hope that doesn't offend :-).

This has only been adjusted by me to apply after David Gibson's patch to
add a watchdog timer.

The iseries_veth driver does skb_clone, it should only need to skb_get,
which is cheaper.  Should help performance a little.

I've used this patch since 2.6.5, and other users have confirmed it

Basically, when not in 8bpp mode, radeonfb should use the palette when
clearing a region on screen.  This is how it's done in 2.4 and xfree, also.

This fixes a couple of bugs in arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c.  We were
missing a couple of places where we needed to use RELOC().  I added the
RELOC in one case, and in the other, moved the variable that we were
accessing onto the stack (and reduced its size).  (We use the variable
to get a property value, but we aren't interested in the value, just in
whether the property exists or not.  Since we pass the size of the
variable to the OF getprop call, it won't overflow.) The effect of
missing the RELOCs would be that random memory locations get used on IBM
pSeries systems (possibly causing random boot failures). 

The other thing that this does is add a linux,phandle property to each
node, containing the phandle for the node, which is the token that OF
uses to identify the node.  Some nodes reference other nodes by means
of their phandle.  Without the linux,phandle property, userspace code
looking at the OF device-tree image in /proc/device-tree has no way of
knowing which other node is being referenced.

This fixes compilation of x86-64 without CONFIG_NUMA again (got broken
by the previous patchkit)

Older versions of gcc were unhappy with our previous trick, and
just separating out the __CHECKER__ case made it much simpler.

On i386, stack usually grows with "sub $0x8,%esp" and shrinks with
"add $0x8,%esp" respectively.  In some cases, though, stack grows with
"add $0xffffff80,%esp" and shrinks with "sub $0xffffff80,%esp".
Obviously, we don't want to miss those cases.

Since in either case add and sub seem to be balanced and contain the
same parameter, we don't need a second regex.  We simply accept hex
numbers of up to 8 digits and treat them as negative numbers when the
sub appears to be a little too high.

...or so I thought.  But another day of testing proved me wrong again.

Some functions do stuff like "sub $0x10,%esp", ..., "add $0x20,%esp".
In other words, add and sub are *NOT* balanced.  Manual inspection
showed that 0x20 is a more realistic number, so I accept either
variant, just in case.  We pay for this with a bunch of duplicates in
our output, but that beats missing some stack hogs.

In the long run, this script has to be replaced by gcc options,
really.  Looking at the result and guessing back is such a stupid
idea.

This patch improves some of the handling of PA-RISC tulip cards.

 - Introduce HAS_SWAPPED_SEEPROM and NEEDS_FAKE_MEDIA_TABLE
 - Only trigger this code on GSC machines.  The pure PCI machines don't
   have these cards.
 - Allow the chip_name to be overridden in tulip_init_one().
 - Fix some indentation.
 - Handle the output from tulip_read_eeprom() better.

the above means the following is needed for my drivers - please apply to 2.6:

i386 gets it implicitly from somewhere but some architectures don't.
Also move <asm/uaccess.h> down so we have asm after linux headers.

This happens because `hw' is only used when CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI is not set.
As `hw' is used only to have the code readable, we can use it for

This patch allocates the next free protocol number for the upcoming

This patch updates the address of the BlueZ project and changes

Since we are using Bitkeeper the CVS tags are useless. This patch
removes them and makes some whitespace cleanups.

With Linux 2.6 there is no need to keep the function exports in a
central file and thus the use of syms.c makes no real sense. Remove
it and add the EXPORT_SYMBOL calls to the functions they belong to.

The timing calculations used by the PXA platforms did not always take
account of the timings handed to us by PCMCIA, and where it did, it
assumed IO timings for memory windows.

We fix this, and provide a generic function which calculates the
required timings (in nanoseconds) for IO, memory and attribute
windows.  The SOC drivers only have to convert this information to
whatever format the hardware requires to achieve at least these
timing parameters.

Some machines decided to initialise this element.  It's not necessary
since find_memend_and_nodes() initialises this itself.  However,
'end' is not required if we initialise high_memory in this function
rather than waiting until mem_init() is called.
