Fix up vmalloc_to_page() and callers (argument is a kernel
virtual address ie should be a "void *")

adds simple support for atomically-mapped PTEs. On highmem systems this enables the allocation of the pagetables in highmem.

- the new vmalloc_to_page() interface should be used to determine the physical page a given vmalloc() area virtual address is mapped to.

	More of the same - some of these guys have stuff after pathname.
Overflow checks added.

Fix i810 audio for DMA mapping (from Pete Zaitcev).

Numerous LVM fixes & cleanups.
Gets things compiling again, and allegedly works according to feedback.
Mostly from Anders in absence of any maintainence by LVM people.

There are two critical problems with lvm in 2.5.2-pre11 (and earlier).
* ioctls on the chardev allocates a >4k lv_t on stack. if the ioctl is
LV_CREATE, LV_EXTEND, LV_REDUCE or LV_RENAME data is copied into this
and the task_struct will most certainly be corrupted.
* sizeof(lv_t) differs between user and kernelspace. The userspace version
of the lv_t structure is much smaller than the kernelspace version. This
leads to corruption of memory in the userspace application when an lv_t is
copied from kernelspace to userspace, as in "vgdisplay -v"

The following patch addresses these two issues. It puts the user-space
version of the lv_t into a substructure of the kernelspace version. When
communicating to userspace just the userlv_t part is used. This avoids the
allocation of the lv_t on the stack by allocation just a userlv_t instead.

1.  Kill the ide-probe-mod by merging it with ide-mod. There is *really*
    no reaons for having this stuff split up into two different
    modules unless you wan't to create artificial module dependancies
    and waste space of page boundaries during memmory allocation for the
    modules

2.  Kill the ide_module_t - which is unnecessary and presents a
    "reimplementation" of module handling inside the ide driver.  This
    is achieved by attaching the initialization routine ot the
    ide_driver_t, which will be gone next time, since there is no sane
    reason apparently, which this couldn't be done during the
    module-generic initialization of the corresponding driver module.

3.  Kill unnecessary tagging of "subdriver" with IDE_SUBDRIVER_VERSION -
    we have plenty of other mechanisms for module consistency checking.
    And anyway the ide code didn't any consistence checks on this value
    at all.

NOTE: The ide_(un)register_module() functions will be killed in next round.

The attached patch does:

1. Kill two exports which mankind will never know what they where good for

2. Kill duplicated comments.

3. Kill declarations of never defined functions

4. Some other minor tidups here and there.

	this is a sync with the current ALSA CVS tree (last code
modification: (Sun Feb 17 17:46:41 2002 UTC)) and 2.5.5-pre1 code and
contains:

- ALSA code version 0.9.0beta11
- Config.in files updated (separated associated drivers to submenus)
- global sound/Makefile fixes
- added inclusion of missing header files for alpha architecture
- fixed power functions (bad locking)
- fixed copy_to_user calls (removed them from spinlocks)
- fixed freeing of resource structures
- fixed AD1816A driver (inverted volume controls)
- added new functions to allocate ISA DMA memory (cleanups in ISA drivers)
- updated ISA PnP detection in wavefront driver
- added joystick support for VIA686
- updated ES1968 (Maestro2) driver
- moved joystick support for YMFPCI to the control interface
- updated Korg1212 driver

Fixes overflow checks in smb_encode_path().

Adds an obvious helper, converts callers.

helper for safe access to parent's inumber

hfs compile fixes

  this patch adds support for older MGA-TVO-B (found on G200-TV)
to matroxfb.
