This fixes ipmi compilation (with some documentation updates and another
minor fix, too).

It also fixes a problem with the state machine getting stuck in a
certain error condition.

we're writing over TCP and have done a partial send.

  The following patch by Joe Korty removes an over-zealous check in the NFS
  read code that causes pages to be incorrectly marked with PG_error and
  hence causes an EIO to be returned to userland.

  The test is incorrect as it ignores the fact that we may be caching a
  write that will extend the file on the server (and hence will create a
  hole in the region concerned.).

a null 'p_proc' procedure pointer.

and drop the 'flags' argument (it was always set too LOOKUP_PARENT).

If the user supplies and empty path, return -ENOENT.

Doing this ensures that we keep probing the connection to the server
rather than just waiting for the entire congestion window to time out.
The latter can be very expensive due to the exponential backoff rule.

Also reformat some printks so lines don't exceed 80chars.

This fixes an oops caused by incorrect usage of sector_div()
in which_dev() in md/linear.c.  It was dereferencing an non-existent
hash table entry.

We currently hold a read_lock of dparent_lock
while calling exp_get_by_name on several ancestors
of a given dentry.  However exp_get_by_name can
malloc(GFP_KERNEL), so that isn't a good idea.

Now we only claim the lock while actually
stepping up the parent chain.

This addresses bug 29 @ bugme.osdl.org

encode_read: change 'len' variable from unsigned long to a long for
'(len > 0)' comparison.  don't set up a tail iovec for zero length
reads.

NFSv4 operations after WRITE are decoded into wr_vec[] pages, thus the
argp->pagelen can be non-zero at the end of decoding the WRITE
operation.

This patch correctly sets argp->pagelen, and correctly advances argp->p
after the WRITE operation

Fix some misleading comments, and correct the test for requesting more
than one page.

Except for dev_node_t, the contents of include/pcmcia/driver_ops.h
aren't used anywhere within the kernel. It's a left-over file from the
days when cardbus 32-bit cards weren't handled as pci devices, and
their drivers as pci drivers. So, move the dev_node_t to
include/pcmcia/ds.h, remove the lone in-kernel reference to
driver_ops.h, and remove the contents of driver_ops.h.

Rename socket_info_t (which is used many, many times differently
within pcmcia) to "struct pcmcia_bus_socket".

Also, a couple of functions in ds.c can be converted to use the "struct
pcmcia_bus_socket" as argument instead of the socket number.

As we don't have a late_initcall in ds.c any more, we can't easily
distinguish between in-kernel drivers and those built as modules. This
information was used by cardmgr to detect whether "rmmod" makes
sense. As unloading of modules seems to be deprecated behaviour anyway
in 2.5., and the current driver unloading process is IMO broken
anyway, I don't shed any tears on this lost functionality.

Previously, "Driver Services" could only be called when the socket
drivers were initialized earlier. This caused an awful lot of
problems, especially when modprobe tried to load ds.ko and a pcmcia
card driver at once.

As all socket devices are registered with the driver model core as
being of "class_type pcmcia_socket_class", we can take use of that and
register them with "Driver Services" upon detection or upon
module loading of ds.c.

Also, the "I-need-two-initcalls-in-a-module"-tweak can go away.

Unfortunately, this patch reportedly breaks some RedHat pcmcia init
scritps - they relied on the failed loading of ds.c to detect that no
socket driver was loaded previously. To properly detect this, you
should take a look at the /sys/class/pcmcia_socket/devices directory.
