the lvm-patch that went into 2.5.5 missed the changes in lvm.h and is
still not compileable. This patch adds those changes. The kernel i'm
running right now has this patch and /var and /home on lvm.

A forward-port of all the .text.exit fixes which went into
2.4.   Also contains a couple of s/MINOR/minor/ changes.

Al updated Documentation/filesystems/porting with 2.5 changes but there
is no mention of lseek.  The following patch, against 2.5.5, adds lseek
to the list of functions that no longer are called with the BKL.

The attached patch implements proper locking in ALSA lseek methods.
Note ALSA has 3 lseek implementations, but only:

	sound/core/info.c :: snd_info_entry_llseek()

requires locking.  I wrapped the function in the BKL.  According to
Jaroslav Kysela the gus_mem_proc method is only called from above.  The
third lseek, in hwdep.c, clearly doesn't need locking.  Without this
patch, the above lseek is not safe.

This patch add the validity check of 2 values (fats, reserved). These
values must not be 0.

Here enclosed patch for eata.c, eata.h, u14-34f.c, u14-34f.h
to be applied to lk-2.5.5.

eata.c:
       + Remove any reference to virt_to_bus().
       + Fix pio hang while detecting multiple HBAs.
       + Fixed a board detection bug: in a system with
         multiple ISA/EISA boards, all but the first one
          were erroneously detected as PCI.

u14-34f.c:
       + Remove any reference to virt_to_bus().
       + Fix pio hang while detecting multiple HBAs.

After BKL was moved from the VFS into the filesystem's methods in the lookup
call, we do not need to check BKL is actually held (we know it is not).
This patch patch removes unneeded lock_depth check.
Without this patch reiserfs cannot be used on SMP.

2.5.5 Oopses at boot time with a disk in a zipdrive.
With this patch all is fine. I have not read the
patch, certainly not checked it for correctness,
just observed that it works for me.
I think the author is Rich Baum.

Apparently, the LSTATUS bit of BMSR latches low until a management read. 
This causes ETHTOOL_GLINK to report no-link on the first read after the
link is connected.  (damned QA people catch dumb stuff like this KNOWING
I'll have to fix it).  This patch just forces GLINK to mdio_read() twice.

	- update to version 1.49
	  (with a bit of merge foo from greg)

	- compile time fixes

	- removed an unneeded header.  Thanks to Jeff Garzik for pointing this out.

relatively quickly and sometimes locked up the system. It usually only
took me a couple of tries ripping a CD to reproduce the problem.

I took a long hard look at the locking in uhci.c and decided to clean
it up, fixing a couple of bugs along the way as well as documenting the
locking strategy.

With this patch applies, where I could only rip a CD a couple of times
before causing problems, I was able to rip a CD 12,000 times in a row
successfully, before I stopped it. Not a single error :)
