Bug in parameter of ZERO_PAGE macro in line 679 of fb/direct-io.c Parameter
dio->cur_user_address has to be dio->curr_user_address.  This bug shows
when compling for MIPS little endian as target, not when compiling for X86.

Properly terminate /proc/tty/driver/serial output lines of known UARTS
when the caller has no CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.

Export two symbols on x86-64.  This is needed for the sk98lin driver and ipv6.

Use unsigned long for time_after(), not an int.

Quick patch to enable the Philips tuner on the WinTV-D boards.  Tested and
works fine.  (acked by Gerd)

The wait_event() in there can touch the memory at *transaction after
kjournald has freed it.

Rework the code to not wait until the transaction enters T_FLUSH state: just
loop back and try against after the wakeup.

Use the correct type for the workqueue callback.

Patch to get ibmtr_cs / ibmtr working again.  A change went in a while back
I missed that killed it.  Also fixed the timer to eliminate the
uninitialized timer error on close.

Here's a show-stopper patch for Alpha; missing it prevents several of
our platforms ("white box" 3000 and 5000 series) from booting.

- HAVE_DEC_LOCK depends on SMP
- Trap return preemption check needs interrupt disabled check
- Implement write_trylock
- Fix in_atomic() definition when PREEMPT enabled

Here is the minimal patch that fixes things that do not work and that
can be noticed fairly easily:

        - remove a typo in pfm_check_task_state() which causes
          PFM_READ_PMDS to fail when context is in  PFM_MASKED state.

        - fix a typo in perfmon_mcklinley.h when checking the value
          combinations for when writing to PMC14. This could reject a
          valid request to program PMC14.

This fixes a sleep-in-spinlock bug for binfmt_misc registration.

That lock is purely for the list, not for the dentry.

Only set the rate/resolution if the user actually asked
for it. Some mice and KVM switches don't like to have
their rate forced.

exit_notify() used to leave a window open when a thread
died that made the thread visible as a ZOMBIE even though
the thread reaped itself. This closes that window by marking
the thread DEAD within the tasklist_lock.

Force Device-Mapper to use PAGE_SIZE or smaller I/O when the underlying
device has a bvec_merge_fn routine registered.  This will fix the
situation of Device-Mapper submitting I/Os to RAID-0 that span the
RAID-0 chunk boundaries.

Joe is working on a better solution that actually honors the MD
merge_bvec_fn routine.  But this minimal change will fix the problem for
the time being.

enable on UP-PREEMPT.

Without this, the enable could "migrate" up into the critical
region (on SMP, the actual spinlock would act as an additional
barrier and PREEMPT was ok).

I am still not sure that this change all by itself is enough
to make us accept zero initial timestamps properly.
