SCSI cdroms got gendisks.

	invalidate_buffers() pulled from cdrom ->reset() into its caller.
At that point only cdrom.c using cdi->dev.  That will play a bit later.

	minor cleanup in cdu31a.c

	mcdx.c cleaned up, uses of cdi->dev eliminated

	 pcd.c cleaned up, uses of cdi->dev eliminated, abuse of macros killed
(it used to have
#define PCD pcd[unit]
#define PI PCD.pi
and expected 'unit' to be local variable in each function that used these
(== almost every function in there)).

	Lindent pcd.c.

	 pcd.c - killed RR and WR macros (replaced with inlines without hidden
arguments; the first step in cleanup, they were monstrous).

	sbpcd.c - d eliminated, ditto for uses of cdi->dev (we set cdi->handle
pointing to structure we neeed).  Cleaned up a bit.

	 sbpcd.[c,h] - uses of D_S[d] replaced with uses of *current_drive.

	sbpcd.c - sigh... It used to have a global variable inventively called
'd'.  Current disk number.  Tons of uses, 99% of them being D_S[d].<blah>.
Added a new variable - current_drive.  Said animal is equal to D_S + d -
it's reassigned at the same place as d.

	 killed passing minors around; we always pass a pointer to structure;
scsi_CDs made static.  That killed uses of cdi->dev in sr.c and friends.

	Global search'n'replace job - 'SCp' (Scsi_CD pointer - I'm not kidding;
and yes, they spell it "Scsi") replaced with 'cd' (sr.c, sr_ioctl.c,
sr_vendor.c).

	sr.c: we set SCp->cdi.name from the very beginning, which allows
to kill passing minors in many cases (we can use "%s...", SCp->cd.name instead
of "sr%d...", minor and that turns out to be the majority of places where
we use minors at all).

	new helper - update_partition(disk, partition_number); does the
right thing wrt devfs and driverfs (un)registration of partition entries.
BLKPG ioctls fixed - now they call that beast rather than calling only
devfs side.  New helper - rescan_partitions(disk, bdev); does all work
with wiping/rereading/etc. and fs/block_dev.c now uses it instead of
check_partition().  The latter became static.

	similar to ->flags and ->driverfs_dev_arr, ->de_arr[] got replaced
with its (single) element + flag.

	Each hd_struct used to have int number; in it.  It's used _only_
in disk->part[0] - disk->part[n].number is never assigned/checked for any
positive n.  Moved from hd_struct to gendisk (disk->part[0].number to
disk->number).

	disk->driverfs_dev_arr is either NULL or consists of exactly one
element.  Same change as above (struct device ** -> struct device *); old
"is the pointer to array itself NULL or not?" replaced with a flag (in
disk->flags).

	Seeing that now disk->flags[] always consists of one element, we
replace char *flags with int flags, remove the junk from places that used
to allocate these "arrays" and do obvious updates of the code
(s/->flags[0]/->flags/).

	call of driverfs_remove_partitions() pulled into del_gendisk();
function isn't exported anymore.  Both it and driverfs_create_partitions()
cleaned up.

	driverfs_remove_partitions(), devfs_register_partitions(),
driverfs_create_partitions(), devfs_register_partition(), devfs_register_disc(),
had lost 'minor' argument - it's always disk->first_minor these days.
disk_name() takes partition number instead of minor now.  Callers of
wipe_partitions() in fs/block_dev.c expanded.  Remaining caller passes
gendisk instead of kdev_t now.

	Since ->nr_real is always 1 now, we can remove that field completely.
Removed the last remnants of switch in disk_name() (it could be killed
a long time ago, I just forgot to remove the last two cases when md and i2o
got converted).  Collapsed several instances of
disk->part[minor - disk->first_minor] - in cases when we know that we deal
with disk->part[0].

	wipe_partitions() and driverfs_register_partitions(..., 1) (i.e.
unregistering them) pulled into del_gendisk() and removed from callers.
grok_partitions() merged with register_disk().  devfs_register_partitions(),
grok_partitions() and wipe_partitions() not exported anymore.

driver remove the ftont of the queue from the request list
and cache it in 'current_req'.

This simplifies the driver and should be a lot more robust.

Still, I'll probably go blind just for _looking_ at the dang
sources of this thing. Whee.

pointer before the device is opened.

This should finally fix the 2.5.x floppy driver.

This fixes the pnpbios CS check to check for the correct values (it
wasn't up to date with the various GDT reshuffles), moves it inside the
kernel mode check, modifies it so that it takes less instructions and
marks it with unlikely().

Note that the 2.5.32 version of this check will cause the kernel to
always panic since it checks for the kernel segments and will thus
decide to jump to the pnpbios fault handler without being in pnpbios.
pnpbios_core.c instead seems to use the correct values.

Gotta ptrace_unlink before calling release_task, and instead of fiddling
with the real_parent directly.

partitions. The higher layers do a better job of it.

sk_inuse should be bigger than "char" as we can
have more than 255 server threads.  Due to the way the count
is used, this is unlikely to actually cause a problem, but it
should nonetheless be fixed.

Also, two printk generate more noise than we would like,
so turn them into dprintk (debugging printk).

sock_writeable determines whether there is space in a socket's output
buffer.  socket write_space callbacks use it to determine whether to wake
up those that are waiting for more output buffer space.

however, sock_writeable is not appropriate for TCP sockets.  because the
RPC layer's write_space callback uses it for TCP sockets, the RPC layer
hammers on sock_sendmsg with dozens of write requests that are only a few
hundred bytes long when it is trying to send a large write RPC request.
this patch adds logic to the RPC layer's write_space callback that
properly handles TCP sockets.

patch reviewed by Trond and Alexey.

when several RPC requests want to reconnect a TCP transport socket at
once, xprt_lock_write serializes the tasks to prevent multiple socket
connects.  however, TCP connects are always done by a RPC child task that
has no request slot.  xprt_lock_write can oops if there is no request slot
allocated to the invoking RPC task.  reviewed and accepted by Trond.

the xprt_lock_write changes are not yet in 2.4, so this patch does not
apply to 2.4.

This fixes a bad TLS initialization bug found by Andi Kleen.  x86/SMP
only worked due to luck.

This adds two scheduler related fixes:

 - changes the migration code to use struct completion. Andrew pointed out
   that there might be a small window in where the up() touches the
   semaphore while the waiting task goes on and frees its stack. And
   completion is more suited for this kind of stuff anyway.

 - removes two unneeded exports, pointed out by Andrew.

This moves CLONE_SETTID and CLONE_CLEARTID handling into kernel/fork.c,
where it belongs.  [the CLONE_SETTLS is x86-specific and thus remains in
the per-arch process.c] This makes support for these two new flags much
easier: architectures only have to pass in the user_tid pointer.
