BK is still missing one piece for Oleg's install_page/vmtruncate races. 
Oleg didn't explicitly ACK this, but I think he did implicitly: Oleg?

The previous patch to install_page, returning an error if !page_mapping
once page_table_lock is held, is not enough to guard against vmtruncate.

When unmap_mapping_range already did this vma, but truncate_inode_pages has
not yet done this page, page->mapping will still be set, but we must now
refrain from inserting the page into the page table.

Could check truncate_count, but that would need caller to read and pass it
down.  Instead, recheck page->index against i_size, which is updated before
unmap_mapping_range.  Better check page->mapping too: not really necessary,
but it's accidental that index is left when mapping is reset.

Also, callers are expecting -EINVAL for beyond end of file, not -EAGAIN.

This patch moves the clearing of the new personality bit from
selinux_bprm_apply_creds (called from compute_creds) to
selinux_bprm_set_security (called from prepare_binprm).  This ensures that the
bit is cleared at the same point in exec processing as for setuid/setgid
binaries, prior to setting up the new image.

Hopefully fixes the free-of-a-freed-page BUG caused during CDRW writing.

This also fixes a problem in the bouncing for io errors (it needs to free
the pages and clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, not set it.  it's already set.
passing -EIO to bio_endio() takes care of that).

For clock_getres(clockid_t clock_id, struct timespec *res), the specification
says "If res is NULL, the clock resolution is not returned." So this kind of
call should succeed.  The current implementation returns -EFAULT.

rcu_offline_cpu and rcu_move_batch have been broken since the list_head's

Kernel crashes when you try to offline a cpu, not surprisingly.

It also looks like rcu_move_batch isn't preempt-safe so I touched that up,
and got rid of an unused label in rcu_offline_cpu.

This patch fixes the error in the subject line.

Attached is a second patch to account for (most of) Herbert Xu's
comments.

I have left-out the part about changing state->card to a
local variable where it is used a lot.  Unfortunately, that usage is
somewhat pervasive and I would prefer to make those changes in a separate
patch -- after I have had a chance to do some testing.

If you'd prefer one patch to account for the original plus these
changes, let me know and I'll be happy to provide it.

Enclosed is a patch for the i810_audio OSS driver to support using
memory-mapped I/O for those chipsets that support it.

 o Added a family of macros -- I810_IOREADx() and I810_IOWRITEx() -- that
key off the existing card->use_mmio flag to select between using readx/writex
or inx/outx for I/O operations.

 o Converted existing inx/outx invocations to use
I810_IOREADx/I810_IOWRITEx instead.

 o Changed GET_CIV(), GET_LVI, and CIV_TO_LVI() not only to use
I810_IOREADx/I810_IOWRITEx but also to take "card" (i.e. struct i810_card)
paramter.

 o Removed check for "Pure MMIO interfaces" in i810_probe() -- replaced w/
(relocated) check for no I/O resources available.

The macros ata_id_has_lba() and ata_id_has_dma() seem to have their bits
reversed.  LBA support is bit 9 of word 49 in the identify page, whereas
DMA support is bit 8 of word 49 in the identify page.

I see we lost this source line in the changes since 2.6.7.  But if I try
SATAPI expecting no data without this source line, then my ata_piix.ko
promptly dies with such complaints as:

kernel: irq 18: nobody cared!

With this source line, I find I can expect no data, though I still have
to add auto sense to overcome:

kernel: ata2: BUG: timeout without command

This fixes several small but serious x86-64 bugs in 2.6.8rc2:

 - Fix array overflow in PCI bus checking (Travis Betak) 
 - Fix broken pci_map_sg in swiotlb (Suresh B. Siddha)
 - Remove bogus bus check in IOMMU code

* prism54_get/set_debug_oid are missing checks for a null pointer.
  Reported in Bugzilla number 100.

* In the card initialization routine, we try to set the
  output power. For firmware < 1.0.4.3, this leads to a
  worrying "mgt_commit has failed .." in the log although
  the device continues to react normally.
  Fix is simple, do not try to configure output power.
  (which I believe we should not be doing anyway as it is
   probably against local country regulations)

* Reintroduce pushing 0 into the TRDY_TIMEOUT and RETRY_TIMEOUT
  registers. Make this configurable with module parameter
  init_pcitm.

* We now have the ludicrous situation that some hardware setups
  require this (not even pushing 0xFF helps), whilst others
  don't care either way (the majority), and yet others bork
  if anything is pushed into these regs.
  If anybody can explain this (including Conexant :-) ), my ears
  are open.

* oid_mgt.c is calling islpci_mgt_transaction passing the address
  of a pointer to the management frame. This is not being
  initialized by the caller. The callee only updates this
  pointer when successful. When not, boom.

* Being ultracautious again, not only initialize in the caller,
  also null out the pointer unconditionally in the callee.

etc.

That breaks quite a few drivers that should otherwise work on ppc.  SR...
and LR were never used by ppc code; commented out in reg.h (note that
they are just aliases for SPRN_SR... and SPRN_LR).  RPA commented out and
its instances in ppc code (all four of them) replaced with SPRN_RPA.  Ditto
for DEC.  The rest of the offenders (DAR and PVR) are left alone for now and
#undef'ed in drivers in question.

We probably want to rip all these guys out of reg.h and convert ppc users
to SPRN_... forms - file ends up included in alot of places and namespace
pollution like that is a Bad Thing(tm).
