This patch fixes several issues with drivers/net/hamradio/bpqether.c in 2.6.0-test3.

1. Fix encapsulation of net_device structure relative to private data (bpqdev)
2. Convert from single-linked list to the list macros.
3. Convert to using seq_file for the /proc interface
4. Fix up locking by switching to RCU and the rtnl semaphore supplied
   by the network layer.
5. Fix removal cases of ethernet device and bpqether device to work
   without deadlock.
6. Get rid of MOD_INC/MOD_DEC
7. Get rid of bogus check_devices method of cleanup, just cleanup correctly
   when device changes state.

Alexey says:
 Unrelated: giving out->ifindex is a bug, by the way. It can screw up
 the things a lot. In this context, if you want to be sure that packet
 will go out expected interface you do plain lookup and drop packet
 if it gave you some strange route.

Bug #1 (found by Jay Estabrook).
On Alpha, under certain circumstances the firmware may close the IO
window of PCI-to-PCI bridge even if there is IO behind.
This wouldn't be a problem - linux PCI setup code does set up this
window properly, but in addition the firmware clears the IO-enable
bit in the PCI_COMMAND register of the bridge.
Since we don't call pci_enable_* routines for bridges in non-hotplug
path, we end up with disabled IO. Fixed by adding pci_enable_bridges()
to pci_assign_unassigned_resources().
Architectures which don't use the latter, but do use other setup-bus
code (parisc?) also should call pci_enable_bridges() for each root bus.

Bug #2 (closely related to #1).
As it turns out, pci_enable_device() doesn't work for bridges at all,
only for regular devices (header type 0) due to 0x3f mask passed to
pci_enable_device_bars(). The mask should be (1 << PCI_NUM_RESOURCES) - 1.

Bug #3 (quite a few archs, including i386).
pcibios_enable_device() does only check first 6 resources (regardless
of the mask) to decide whether or not to enable IO and MEM.
Bridge resources start at 7.

#2 and #3 affect hotplug. I wonder, has anybody ever tried *bridged*
PCI card behind a hot-plug controller?

  This patch adds another P4B motherboard subsystem identifier to the recent
asus sensor patch for the 2.6 kernel.

This patch adds support for ID TECH's IDT1221U USB to RS-232 adapter
(intended for use and/or supplied with some of their magnetic/smart
card readers).  The VID and PID were provided by Steve Briggs on
the ftdi-usb-sio-devel list.

here you go

There was no release function for the objects.
bad greg, no biscuit...

This is because the name field of struct device is going away, and the name
fields on these i2c structures are useful for people.

This is a port of some smp fixes I did for 2.4 floppy.c

Andrew did the re-diffing.

This removes some function stubs from 6 watchdog drivers.

The VFS already returns -EINVAL in cases where fop->read == NULL, so
there's no need to duplicate the code 6 times.  This patch removes the
stubs and is compile tested.

From Matt Tolentino:

  Here's a small patch to change several data types from u64 to
  unsigned long in efi.h.  These changes enable the use of the
  same data structures and function prototypes for ia32 EFI kernels.

This applies on top of Takayoshi's interrupt polarity fix and just
makes things a tiny bit more consistent.

Is acpi_irq_to_vector() even needed anymore?  I don't see any
references to it.
