      dmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64.

      and x86_64 depend on things in arch/i386 that they wouldn't otherwise care
      about.

      trailing whitespace) and the associated Makefile changes.  All three
      architectures already set CONFIG_DMI in their top-level Kconfig files.

If Classical IP over ATM module is loaded, its neighbor table gets
populated when permanent neighbor entries are created; but these entries
are not flushed when the device is removed. Since the entry never gets
flushed the unregister of the network device never completes.

This version of the patch also adds locking around the reference to
the atm arp daemon to avoid races with events and daemon state changes.
(Note: barrier() was never really safe)

This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:

 - The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
   using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len().  That's not wholly obvious
   to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.

 - Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
   free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
   that may need to be flushed.

 - Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
   which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
   (especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.

I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors:  without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

I use 2.6.15.6 Linux kernel and found some problems. I have about 100
Linux boxes (all with the same (binary the same) kernel). Last time I have
upgraded all those boxes from 2.4.32 to 2.6.15.6 (first 2.6.15.1, next .2,
.4 and .6) and I have found some problems on VIA based PC's. Probably the
reason of this is that some VIA chipsets are unrecognized by IRQ router.

In line 586 there is: /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */

There were only a few of chipsets ID's there, some of my VIA chipsets were
not present and kernel used default IRQ router.

I have added three entries, so that the code looks like:

        case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C596:
        case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686:
        case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8231:
        case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A:
        case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8235:
        case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237:
        case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237_SATA:
                /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
                r->name = "VIA";
                r->get = pirq_via_get;
                r->set = pirq_via_set;
                return 1;
        }

The kernel goes fine but I haven't testes it for weeks, I'm just a moment
after reboot :)
One thing is different (better?):
Using previus kernel I had:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 0
now I have:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 11

Maybe it is good idea to add there some more VIA chipsets?
The ones I have added seem to be OK.

The init function for the RPA PCI Hotplug driver returns -ENODEV in the
case that no hotplug-capable slots are detected in the system.  This is
bad, since hot-capable slots can be added after boot to a purely virtual
POWER partition.  This is also bad because DLPAR I/O operations depend
on the rpaphp module.

Change the rpaphp init module to return success for the case of
partitions that own no hotplug-capable slots at boot.  Such slots can be
dynamically added after boot.

The naming of the constant defined for PCI ID 1022:7450 does not seem

There 1022:7450 is listed as "AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge" while 1022:7451
is listed as "AMD-8131 PCI-X IOAPIC".  Yet, the current definition for
0x7450 is PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_8131_APIC.	It seems to me like that name
should map to 0x7451, while a name like PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_8131_BRIDGE
should map to 0x7450.

The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return
the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device.
driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the
device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the
device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just
return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf
or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing
was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and
failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in
which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string.

A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate
the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1
and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that
change.

[BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned

Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
created and sysfs is populated.

We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.

It works like this:
  Open the file
  Read all the contents.
  Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
  When poll returns,
     close the file and go to top of loop.
   or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.

Events are signaled by an object manager calling
   sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);

If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).

This has a cost of one int  per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.

The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality.  Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
