Symbol CONFIG_SONYPI depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
not say so in its banner.

Symbol CONFIG_MIDI_EMU10K1 depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
not say so in its banner.

Two symbols CONFIG_ROADRUNNER and CONFIG_ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS depend
on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but do not say so in their banners.

The convention is that symbols that depend on $CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL are
marked in the banner with the string (EXPERIMENTAL).  There are 4 cases
where that string is correctly used but is lowercase instead of uppercase.

The default value specified as the last word of the "choice" statement
should be a unique abbreviation of one of the sub-prompts, not some
random string never seen before.

Symbol CONFIG_ZNET depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE, but its banner says it
depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

Symbol CONFIG_INTERMEZZO_FS depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does
not say so in its banner in the usual way.

The 2.4.18pre10 kernel, like many if its predecessors, can't compile
the multiquad driver in an SMP kernel (maybe only as a module; it's
been a long time since I wrote this fix).  Here's a patch.

When compiling 2.5.20 (and ealier, likely) without procfs, the declaration
for struct tty_driver is missing in proc_fs.h, causing many compiler warnings
that are fixed by this patch.

This micropatch adds unlikely() macro into add_timer() bug check code.
Without this path gcc 3.1 makes bad thing reordering printk() into
the middle of function body.

the following micro-patch changes ext[23]_ioctl to return EACCES
(permission denied) instead of EPERM (operation not permitted) if
the caller is not authorized to change the flags on a file.

  The following trivial patch makes the patch-kernel script executable by
  a bare bone POSIX shell like ash.  Either that, or the interpreter line
  has to be changed to /bin/bash.

  The same patch applies to 2.4 (with some line offset).

The attached patch marks the following variables with __initdata:

        arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c :: static unsigned int num_processors
        arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c :: static int smp_b_stepping
        arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c :: static int max_cpus

The data is static and only used by __init functions so can successfully
be jettisoned after boot.  Compiled and booted successfully on an SMP
machine.

I also set max_cpus to NR_CPUS instead of -1.  Besides being the
logically correct value and simplifying a loop elsewhere, this change
allows NR_CPUS to be set to various values other than the normal 32
which is growing in utility with the hotplug CPU changes now in
mainline.

Attached patch makes do_softirq preempt-safe simply by moving the
current CPU assignment a couple lines down below the interrupt disable.

This patch exports ioremap_nocache to modules, used by at least
some of the sound drivers....

Changed files in the include/asm-ia64 directory to get rid of
__builtin_expect() in favour of likely/unlikely.

This makes some more things in the ipv6 code static.  Some of them may
be wrong (or for futures) bu it looks pretty OK to me (and it builds).

This patch adds a FUTEX_FD call, for opening a file descriptor
attached to a futex, which can be used with poll, select or SIGIO.
Rewritten so that closing fd unpins page, as per Linus's suggestion,
and fixed not to call poll_wait with a spinlock as per Martin Wirth's
sharp eyes.

This uses page_cache_release() instead of put_page(), as it might
be a pagecache page.

There seems to be another missing tqueue.h, this time in the CPIA video
driver.

This patch just changes some things in ext2 to be static.

dup_task_struct is defined and used only in kernel/fork.c.

Tridge has written a little utility
(http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/junkcode/findstatic.pl) that (given a set of
object files) works out a list of candidate finctions and variables that
may be able to be made static.  Obviously some hand checking is needed
(different configs and/or architectures etc), but it seems useful.

Here is my first patch using its outout.

kstack_depth_to_print is used in many architectures, but only in one
file in each.  In some architectures it is declared and not used.  It
is not even clear why kstack_depth_to_print is not a #define.  Tridge
suggested that maybe you could change its value with a debugger ...

The APM code has a function and a struct that can be static.

Strictly speaking, this patch is needed only for arches which use
discontiguous virtual address bits for the PGD index.

When we originally worked on this code (~ 2 years ago or so, in
response to a bug report & patch from an Intel guy), I had myself
convinced that the code is correct, but of course I missed the fact
that:

	pgd_index(first) < pgd_index(last)

does NOT imply that:

	first < last

For example, with a 16KB page size on ia64, we might end up with:

   first = 6000100f80003fff => first_idx = 0x300
   last  = 60000fffffff8000 =>  last_idx = 0x3ff

Note here that first_idx < last_idx even though first > last.  This is
because pgd_index() ignores bits 44..60.

I suppose we could put the extra check inside #ifdef __ia64__, but
that would be rather ugly and would really mean that Linux does not
support discontiguous PGD indices.

For an SMP kernel, spin_lock() et.al. are functions.
For a UP kernel, they are statements that must be terminated
by a ';'.  This is not quite the same thing, and hence spin_lock()
cannot be using inside a parenthesised expession.

This patch changes ITERATE_MDDEV to use gcc's "statement expressions"
instead which has the benefit of making the conditionals
more readable.

When we abort a resync before we even started (because we were
interrupted while waiting for a conflicting resync to finish)
we should not wait or, particularly, do the closing sync_request
(as we haven't even calculated max_sectors yet).

... as autostart_array does it's own locking.
