use the size of the extent, not the page count of the pagebuf which is
initialized to zero.

make sure we have no pending I/O completion calls for metadata,
and that we only keep hold of metadata buffers for I/O completion
if we want to. Still not perfect, but better than it was.

- release hwif only if hwif->chipset == ide_umc8672
- mark exit functions with __exit
- do not use ide_hwifs[] directly
- minor cleanups

- common dtc2278_init() for built-in and module
- touch hwifs only if hwif->chipset == ide_unknown for both ports,

Blind strncpy()->strlcpy() conversion in 2.5.70
made it impossible to change any setting, revert it.

Finally admit defeat and change the maintainers entry for 8250/16x50
serial.

This removes "do_machine_check()" in favour of just calling the
appropriate machine check handler directly from the lowlevel exception
code.

Removed doubled header file includes.
Removed includes of version.h.
Removed the use of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__

fix compiler error of badly punctuated macro definitions.

This looks a little simpler, and has the same effect.

Don't poke bank 0 on Athlon, some of them don't like it
and raise spurious MCEs.

Editor wraparound and comments don't always like each other.

This switches fs/Kconfig to use select where appropriate (affects
nfs{,d} and afs).

The CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl is both slow and ugly, this patch keeps the
functionality but utilizes the much better sg_io() framework.

This removes a bogus error message in the bogomips reporting code when
running an SMP kernel on UP.  It makes the output consistent with what
you see on an SMP box.  I noticed this while testing, but it recently
annoyed me again when booting a knoppix CD - its the first line you'll
see.
