It's bad to make (CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_DETACHED) tasks
be _completely_ hidden. Resource consumption is hard
to track down if a user can hide a task from /bin/ps.

This patch, supported by the procps-3.1.13 release,
gives admins the ability to search for such tasks.
The top-level /proc directory remains uncontaminated.

When I change the setting of CONFIG_EISA, everything rebuilds.  This is
because EISA_bus is declared in <asm/processor.h> which is implicitly
included by just about everything.  This is a silly place to declare it,
so this patch moves it to include/linux/eisa.h.

While I'm at it, I also move the variable definition to
drivers/eisa/eisa-bus.c.  The rest of this patch is fixing up the fallout
from having to include <linux/eisa.h> if you use EISA_bus.

automatically as needed.

* fix printk prefix (cosmetic)
* bail out for pure MMIO interfaces, instead of attempting to use it
  via PIO and hanging the system.

Small clean up, to use current APIs.

this one fixes both drivers. They have been broken since the
reorganization in June. Unfortunately, my major build platform (alpha) had
some issues with later 2.5.X kernels (cache problems causing all kind of
funny behaviour), so i waited until these problems had been resolved by
the alpha gurus :-/...

In the mean time i also upgraded pine. I hope the patch corruption issue
is resolved by now.

Update hamradio/scc for 2.6.0-test5
	- use seq_file for /proc
	- get rid of dev_get()
	- use alloc_netdev

Don't have hardware, but can load/unload the module fine.

This patch converts /proc/net/bondX/info into /proc/net/bonding/bondX
using the seq_file interface.

This is based on Stephen's recent patch, but slightly modified to work
with the propagation patch set and with some locking changes to make it
simpler.

The patch applies both on 2.4 (after the sync set from earlier today)
and on 2.6 (after the propagation set from 2003/11/9).

sbni.c in 2.6.0-test5 fails to compile with gcc 3.3 with the following
error:

Below is the patch by Margit Schubert-White to fix this issue (it is
already in 2.4).

So it will.  I blame the gcc developers.

Redo of earlier patch to get rid of MOD_INC/DEC and use alloc_netdev.
This is against 2.6.0-test5 bk latest.

Update sealevel driver to match current net_device interface:
	- dynamically allocate netdevice and private data.
	- get rid of MOD_INC/DEC
	- if_ptr not used
	- bugfix: not all of board structure was being zeroed.

Note: this driver still doesn't probe() correctly since it just assumes that
if loaded the hardware is there!

Since I don't have one of these boards...
tested it by #ifdef'ing out all the bits that touch actual hardware.

Convert ali-ircc driver to:
	- use alloc_net_dev not dev_alloc
	- allocate private data at same time
	- cleanup error unwinds
	- call free_netdev.

Builds and loads, but don't have real hardware.

Convert via-ircc 2.6.0-test5
	- use alloc_net_dev not dev_alloc
	- allocate private data at same time
	- cleanup error unwinds
	- call free_netdev.

Builds and loads, but don't have real hardware.

Cleanup nsc-ircc driver for 2.6.0-test5
	- replace dev_alloc with alloc_netdev
	- use private data allocated with alloc_netdev
	- error unwind cleanup

Fixes for donauboe for 2.6.0-test5
	- replace dev_alloc with alloc_netdev
	- error unwind cleanup

Yet another irda driver cleanup for 2.6.0-test5
	- replace dev_alloc with alloc_netdev
	- use private data allocated with alloc_netdev
	- use free_netdev

Update irda-usb for 2.6.0-test5
	- use alloc_netdev (but can't use dev->priv area cause that is allocated elsewhere).

Subject: [Kernel-janitors] [PATCH] insert missing iounmap()

Patch inserts a missing iounmap().

According to Jean the toshoboe and old smc ircc drivers are no longer needed.
This patch removes them from 2.6.0-test5

Replace busy loop nop with cpu_relax(), and just use mdelay where it's better.
