      sundance net driver fixes, and a few cleanups too: · 15c2b825
      Jeff Garzik authored
      - Remove unused/constant members from struct pci_id_info
        (which then allows removal of 'drv_flags' from private struct)
      - If no phy is found, fail to load that board
      - Always start phy id scan at id 1 to avoid problems (Donald Becker)
      - Autodetect where mii_preable_required is needed,
        default to not needed.  (Donald Becker)

      [PATCH] session handling using pid lists.. · 461a50a3
      Ingo Molnar authored
      These are the debated tty_io.c changes to use the session group lists to
      maintain controlling tty information.

      [PATCH] generic-pidhash-2.5.36-J2, BK-curr · 64cf8edb
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This is the latest version of the generic pidhash patch.  The biggest
      change is the removal of separately allocated pid structures: they are
      now part of the task structure and the first task that uses a PID will
      provide the pid structure.  Task refcounting is used to avoid the
      freeing of the task structure before every member of a process group or
      session has exited.
      
      This approach has a number of advantages besides the performance gains.
      Besides simplifying the whole hashing code significantly, attach_pid()
      is now fundamentally atomic and can be called during create_process()
      without worrying about task-list side-effects.  It does not have to
      re-search the pidhash to find out about raced PID-adding either, and
      attach_pid() cannot fail due to OOM.  detach_pid() can do a simple
      put_task_struct() instead of the kmem_cache_free().
      
      The only minimal downside is the potential pending task structures after
      session leaders or group leaders have exited - but the number of orphan
      sessions and process groups is usually very low - and even if it's
      higher, this can be regarded as a slow execution of the final
      deallocation of the session leader, not some additional burden.

      kbuild: Fix build number generation · 8ba7e12b
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      For some inexplicable reason, I broke the dependency on a new build number
      some time ago - it worked fine before, and now it does again.
      
      (Whenever vmlinux is relinked, the build number is incremented, and now it
      ends in the version string again, as it should)
      
      Noted by Anton Blanchard.

      [PATCH] fix ide highmem bounce enable · ad8cb89a
      Jens Axboe authored
      ide_toggle_bounce() was called prior to init'ing the block queue,
      which then reset the bounce_pfn back to BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH. Make
      ide_toggle_bounce() an ide-lib helper, and call it when setting up
      the queue as well.
