Below is a patch to remove a small race in kernel/acct.c.

This patch replaces the current AMD IDE driver (by Andre Hedrick) by
mine. Myself I think my implementation is much cleaner, but I'll leave
upon others to judge that. My driver also additionally supports the
AMD-8111 IDE.

It's well tested, and I'd like to have this in the kernel instead of
what's there now.

is called once the inode is unlocked.

	Quick summary : this patch build on the first part to offer
two important new features :
		o Wireless Events
		o Wireless Cell Scanning
	Wireless Events are events generated by device, driver or the
wireless subsystem. It allows for example a device to notify user
space when it register to a new cell (roaming) or loose contact with
the current Access Points. Currently, the other defined events include
some configuration changes and packet drop due to excessive retries,
more may come in the future. All those events are useful for MobileIP,
V-Handoff and Ad-Hoc routing.
	Wireless Cell Scanning is a generic API to allow device/drive
to report Wireless Cells discovered (including ESSID, frequency and
QoS). This is similar to what is available in WindowsXP (except that
it's compliant to Wireless Extensions).

	This patch has been submitted for review on this list a couple
of time in January, has been on my web page since and used intensively
by other people. It was rediffed to 2.5.6. Driver patches have been
submitted to maintainers.

 - Fix oversight in replacement of sti() cli() pairs for data structure
   access protection.  This finally resolvs my problems with the 2.5.6
   kernel series.  Now I'm in fact quite puzzled how it was even possible
   for the system to get into the init stage without this fix..

 - Fix usage of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODULES instead of
   CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODULE.

 - Make idescsi_init global for usage in systems without module support
   enabled.

 - Apply Pavels Macheks patch for suspend support.  Whatever some persons
   argue that it's not fully implemented, I think that we are in
   development series right now.  I don't buy the mock-up examples for
   problems with either outdated or broken hardware.  Micro Drives are
   for example expected to be drop in replacements for CF cards in
   digital cameras and I would rather expect them to be very tolerant
   about the driver in front of them.  And then the WB caches of IDE
   devices are not caches in the sense of a MESI cache, they are more
   like buffer caches and should therefore flush them self after s short
   period of inactivity without the application of any special flush
   command.  The upcoming explicit flushing commands in the ATA standard
   are about data integrity guarantees in high reliability systems, like
   DB servers for example, and not about simple cache validity.

 - Apply Vojtech Pavliks fix to the VIA host chip initialization code.

 - Add missing if-defs around PIO timing tables.

 - Fix max() min() related compile warnings in IDE-scsi.

No fixes for new problems which occured since today, just syncup.

 - Remove help text about suitable compiler versions, which is obsoleted
   by the overall kernel reality.

 - Remove traces of not progressing work in progress code for the
   CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA option as well as the empty ide-adma.c file as
   well as CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_TCQ.

 - Remove redundant CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE != n check in ide/Config.in. Hugh,
   this is a tricky one...

 - Add EXPORT_SYMBOL(ide_fops) again, since it's used in ide-cd.c add a
   note there that this is actually possibly adding the same device twice
   to the devfs stuff.

 - Finally change the MAINTAINER entry. Just too many persons bogged me
   about it and it doesn't take me too much time apparently.

 - Apply sis.patch.20020304_1.

 - Don't call ide_release_dma twice in cleanup_ata, since ide_unregister
   is already calling it for us. Change prototype of ide_unregister to
   take a hwif as parameter and disable an ioctl for removing/scanning
   hwif from the list of handled interfaces. I see no reasons for having
   it and doing it is the fastest DOS attack on my home system I know
   about it. Contrary to the comments found here and there, hdparm
   doesn't use it. There are better hot plugging interfaces coming to the
   kernel right now anyway.

 - Wrap invalidate_drives in ide_unregister under the ide_lock instead of
   disabling and enabling interrupts during this operation. There are
   plenty of other places where the IDE drivers are enabling and
   disabling interrupts just to protect some data structures.

 - Don't call destroy_proc_ide_drives(hwif) for every single drive out
   there.This routine takes a hwif as a parameter.

 - Resync with the instable 2.5.6...

Here are two small compile fixes for x86-64 in 2.5.6pre2.
- Remove call to schedule_tail.
- Fix inline assembly of semaphores to work with latest gcc 3.1.

This patch adds unicode support and wants to be applied on top of the LFS
one. It uses a fake nls module to do the (little endian) unicode
translation.

This patch adds LFS and moves some smb operations into per-protocol level
structs. It wants the nls patch to applied already.

Fixes smbfs oopsing on failed nls translations and maps unknown chars to
:#### strings. Also PATHLEN vs NAMELEN mixups.

This patch enables PCI buses on nodes above node 0 for
the NUMA-Q architecture. It also enables node-directed
port/IO, and cleans up a couple of tiny things that only
affect CONFIG_MULTIQUAD.

  
the patch is against 2.5.6-pre3 and contains:
        - ethtool support;
        - using mii.h for the MII registers and constants;
        - 2 more device/vendor IDs added;

This is one of the very early steps on cleaning up the SCSI cdrom
driver.  It gets rid of directly accessing the scsi_CDs array in favour
of using the handle we get from the generic cdrom layer.  Also uses
local vars instead of many grouped scsi_CDs accesses in other places.

The gain is to get rid of the global, static array of CDROMS
in the end.

ehci-0306, iso, philips, speedups
  
      - adds preliminary highspeed ISO support
      - tweaks the driver to support the Philips EHCI
      - does less in the IRQ handler
      - avoids accessing one immutable PCI register
  
The ISO support should be enough to start writing
drivers, not that I know of any ISO devices that are
really available yet, but it's not fully cooked yet.
  
As a functional milestone, this means Linux now
handles all kinds of highspeed device I/O.  (But it
doesn't yet handle split periodic transactions, to
full or low speed devices through USB 2.0 hubs.)
    
Thanks to Rory Bolt for the non-ISO bits here!

kill all subsidiary threads in a thread group when the main thread
exits.

Features:

 - It sends the subsidiary threads SIGKILL with SI_DETHREAD.

 - Subsidiary threads doing an execve() just leave the thread group (rather
   than forcing the master thread to do an execve() which would be more POSIX
   like).

hcd-0305, periodic and pci fixup
  
      - removes the pci dependency you mentioned in the
        rh_string code (friendlier to non-PCI HCs)
      - makes code match doc (8859-1 chars, not just ascii)
      - adds sanity checking for the periodic transfer interval,
        and forces it to a power-of-two (code can leave HCDs)
      - facilitates better IRQ sharing

	- removed dependancy on net/irda header files from the driver.

 - changed printer.c to use dynamic urbs, as that is now necessary.

These are the small subset which were obviously correct.

set.

Declare pnpbios_init as returning int, as __initcalls are supposed to.

The compiler warns about about crd_load being defined but never used with
my config. The appended patch avoids compiling in the unused code in this
case.

Several people (including Alan Cox) on lkml claimed that the BIOS
returns CPU addresses, so using phys_to_virt is actually correct -
and it makes my kernel compile again.

As vesafb only compiles on i386, using a more portable API isn't useful,
anyway.

irtty.c includes irqueue.h which includes linux/cache.h (via
asm/processor.h <- asm/thread_info.h <- linux/thread_info.h <-
linux/spinlock.h)

both irqueue.h and cache.h defines a ALIGN (for different
purposes).

This patch renames ALIGN in irqueue.h to IRDA_ALIGN.
