This hook is used when an ATA controller wishes to use
hardware-specific methods of taskfile delivery, rather
than the standard method of bitbanging the ATA shadow
registers.

Arrgh.  On i386 it's in include/asm-i386/setup.h  On x86_64 it
belongs in include/asm-x86_64/bootsetup.h.

Patch below defines EDD_MBR_SIG_NR and EDD_MBR_SIGNATURE on x86_64.

Current 2.6.7 tree acts as if it is alway under memory pressure because
a recent change did a s/tcp_memory_pressure/tcp_prot.memory_pressure/.
The problem is tcp_prot.memory_pressure is a pointer, so it is always non-zero!

Rather than using *tcp_prot.memory_pressure, just go back to looking at
tcp_memory_pressure.

'strace' shows a problem with a missing release_task for self-reaping
clones that have been traced.  We need to defer releasing them until the
tracer is done with them, but if the tracer dies, we need to handle that
case gracefully too. 

We do that by having 'forget_original_parent()' generate a list of tasks
to release when this case happens.

Patch based on discussions on linux-kernel, and suggestions from Roland
McGrath <roland@redhat.com>.

Opening a CDROM device for writing no longer works, because cdrom_open()
returns -EROFS even if cdrom_open_write() succeeds.

This fixes it.

This fixes a corner-case NX bug: the x86 SMP kernel doesnt boot on SMP
Opterons if NX is enabled [and mem=nopentium is specified], due to
kernel-space NX protection preventing the SMP trampoline from being
executable. 

Since the SMP trampoline is a rare case of 'dynamic code' executed by
the kernel (it has to be below 640K so it cannot be part of the kernel
text itself), i've added the necessary infrastructure to enable/disable
executability of specific kernel pages. 

We cannot simply disable NX via the MSR because we've got the NX bits in
the kernel pagetables, which are set up before we do the SMP bootup. 
The NX bit in the pagetables is undefined if EFER.NXE is 0, so we cannot
count on NX-capable CPUs not faulting when they encounter them. 

I've tested the x86 kernel on a non-NX SMP x86 box and on an NX UP box,
on which i've also tested a simulated SMP trampoline, it all works fine. 

- add infrastructure to enable/disable executability of kernel pages

- make the SMP trampoline page executable.

This is a rather old patch which re-orders the teardown of PCMCIA
network devices.  Current device drivers remove the IO mappings,
interrupts, and free any PCMCIA windows before they unregister
themselves from the network layer.

This patch ensures that we first unregister from the network layer
before performing any teardown of resources or windows.

Note: the only card which has been tested in this patch is pcnet_cs.

Several network drivers have checks that they are only built with -O.
This breaks checking with sparse and other tools, and seems like a holdover from
when drivers were built out of tree and the kernel build system was less stable.
This patch gets rid of these.

Add __user annotation to the device specific ioctl.

This started out from sparse warnings about calling with fddi_broadcast
that is declared const.  This fixes that and gets rid of some of the namespace
pollution of this driver by moving the predicate function is_individual, is_broadcast, ...
as inline's in the one file that uses them.

Change the pcnet32 driver to use module_param and module_param_array.

The pcnet32 driver was not correctly enabling MII autonegotiation after
booting when ppc firmware forced the speed/duplex mode of the chip.
After several conversations with AMD this patch corrects the problem.

I have tested this on hardware I have available (ia32 and ppc64) but I
would like wider audience testing of this patch.

A recent change I made broke pcnet32 in a way that allowed real hardware
to work, but broke VMWare.  This patch acknowledges all interrupts early
in the pcnet32_interrupt while loop.  Without this patch on real hardware
the first transmit operation would clear the 'init' interrupt, but in
VMWare it would rain interrupts.  Keith Moore did more testing for me
on VMWare and I did a better job testing on hardware.  Petr Vandrovec
correctly pointed out the source of the problem on lkml.

This patch is not needed for 2.4.27-rc1 unless my patch labeled
"pcnet32: recover after rx hang" is applied (which it has not).
