- (leak) memory allocated in dscc4_found1() isn't freed by caller in error path.
  dscc4_free1() is now in charge of this duty.
- (style) code factored in dscc4_remove_one after use of dscc4_free1().

- (compilation fix) plain old typo in struct member naming.

- (compilation fix) missing init.h include;
- (compilation fix) multiple pointers can't be set to NULL in one line if their
  type differ.

Description
- (compilation fix) removal of deprecated fields in net_device;
- (bug) early pci_enable_device.

Below a patch removing the list of sense codes from usb/storage/debug.h
since the same list is already found in scsi/constants.c.
This also brings this list up to date with SCSI-3.

The patch below cleans up some SCSI stuff.

The main purpose is to avoid trying to read the partition table
of a removable disk when the drive has told us that no media
are present. (Right now we try to read a 4K block and fail and
retry and fail, and give an I/O error on the first sector,
then try to read the second sector and fail and retry ...)

Unused fields  sector_bit_size  and  sector_bit_shift  in
struct scsi_disk were removed. The field  has_part_table
(that has nothing to do with partition tables) was
renamed to  has_been_registered . The field  ready  was
renamed to  media_present .
The overly long  sd_init_onedisk()  was split up.

When we notice that no media are present anymore, the
partitions are removed from /proc/partitions, but the
drive remains, with size 0.

A future patch will remove the field  capacity  - there are
all too many places where capacities are stored - but the
present patch is large enough already.

There is also a quite independent patch in scsi_error.c
(yesterday someone had an infinite loop retrying to read
bad media) - this patch honours the SCpnt->retries.
In case you applied this already, just ignore the scsi_error.c part.

Also some "Overrides for Emacs" were removed.

	- remove call to check_region 
	- check the result of request_region
	- call release_region if something goes wrong afterwards during driver initialisation.

I don't have this hardware so I can't verify if it works (compilation checked only).  

[janitor] update the atarilance Ethernet driver for VME Lance cards on the Atari to check the result of request_irq and exit in case of error.

	1) check the status of call to request_region 
	2) and return an error in case of problem.

        1) check the status of call to request_region

(In my first attempted patch for this driver I had forgotten to release the interrupt.)

	1) check result of calls to request_region and handle failure to allocate region resource
	2) add and use an extra label "Failure1" which frees the region resource

Note that a call to check_region still remains in this driver (in subroutine check_s508_conflicts).

This patch adds support for the Aiptek 8000U driver to the kernel tree.

	- moved the firmware download to probe() time

- added calc_num_ports() ability to determine the number of actual
  ports the device has on the fly.  This should help out with some
  of the Palm and Sony devices.

	- added calc_num_ports() callback so that driver can override the
	  fixed num_ports value after querying the device.
	- split startup() callback into probe() and attach() in anticipation
	  of the driverfs api changes
	- probe() is called before the usb_serial structure is set up,
	  and can be used to download firmware to a device, and other
	  early initialization.
	- attach() is called after the usb_serial structure is completely
	  setup, allowing the device to create private structures, and
	  have full access to the device.

In both preempt_schedule in sched.c and resume_kernel in entry.S, it is
possible to return with need_resched set and thus a pending preemption
but not service that preemption for some time.

Consider:

	- return from schedule() to preempt_schedule
	- interrupt occurs, sets need_resched
	- we cannot preempt since preempt_count = PREEMPT_ACTIVE
	- back in preempt_schedule, set preempt_count = 0

Now we again can preempt, but we will not.  Instead we return and
continue executing.  On the next interrupt, we will redo the whole
fiasco which is a waste since we could of reentered schedule while we
were there.  Worse, if we acquire a lock before the next interrupt we
can potentially delay the pending reschedule a very long time.  This is
not acceptable.

The solution is to check for and loop on need_resched on resume_kernel
and preempt_schedule like schedule itself does.
