Convert net_device's from array of structures to an array
of pointers, so they can be freed individually on module
exit.  The net_device_stats are stored at dev->priv.

Note: there is a call to ax25_cb_put commented out, that
can be added back when ax25 refcount patches go in.

This fixes the DMA interface to be backwards compatible with older
XFree86 versions, by looking at the I810_INIT_DMA parameters and
figuring out old version semantics.

CLONE_THREAD without CLONE_DETACHED will now return -EINVAL, and
for a while we will warn about anything that uses it (there are no
known users, but this will help pinpoint any problems if somebody
used to care about the invalid combination).

A part of the 64 bit kdev_t patch already got merged, and it changes the
format of /sys/block/<dev>/dev from %02x%02x to %u:%u.  The partition
could must also be changed.

e.g. cat /sys/block/hda/hda5/dev should return 3:5 instead of 0305

It was caused by improper IV calculation in loop.c

cryptoloop won't oops anymore if ECB mode is requested.

Just call them from the x86-64 entry code.

Also implement the x86-64 specific sys32_timer_create.

Add 32bit->64bit conversion functions for POSIX timers.

I kept timer_create architecture specific, because it does signal specific
stuff which is not portable enough for generic compat.

Add compat_sys_utimes for 32bit->64bit utimes conversion

Add compat_* functions for statfs64. The 32bit layout unfortunately
does not match x86-64.

This patch allows modules to work for ARM, and is the one thing which
prevents the standard tree from building for any ARM machine.

After reviewing the /proc/kcore and kclist issues, I've decided that I'm
no longer prepared to even _think_ about supporting /proc/kcore on ARM -
it just gets too ugly, and adds too much code to make it worth the effort,
the time or the energy to implement a solution to that problem.

/proc/kcore should probably go away, but in the meantime this just allows
ARM to ignore the issues.

makes 2.4->2.6 diff noticeable smaller

and add stripped down buffer_head variant (struct idetape_bh).

ide-tape is accessed by a char device (not a block one!),
it uses block layer only to queue requests.

also add missing Kconfig help entry from 2.4.x

- more locking fixes
- preserve gendev.parent of the old hwif in the new one

Noticed by Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl.

Also:
- kill probe_lba_addressing() wrapper
- rename hwif->addressing to hwif->no_lba48

From Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl.

- always use drive->capacity48 and kill drive->capacity

I've changed drive->capacity48 to drive->capacity64 to avoid confusion.

From Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl.

- kill redundant, never executed code in lba_capacity_is_ok()
- add idedisk_supports_{hpa,lba48}() helpers
- don't recalculate drive->cyl for drives using LBA addressing,
  we never fall-back to CHS, so its useless and confusing
- remove wrong drive->head and drive->sect assignments for LBA-48
- don't overwrite id->lba_capacity and id->lba_capacity_2

HDIO_GETGEO_BIG_RAW is an ide specific hack introduced in 2.3.99-pre3.
There are no known programs using this ioctl.

Its aim was to provide current CHS translation to the user-space,
but very often it provides what driver thinks is a current translation
(drive with LBA have to support only one physical translation, also
 drive may not support chosen translation and there is no return value check).

hdparm -I can be used instead, it provides correct information
(and bogus data is still accessible through /proc/ide/hdX/geometry).

by moving blk queue manipulation down into pagebuf. 
Fix some busted comments in page_buf.h, use a more
descriptive name for __pagebuf_iorequest.

SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:155788a

The help for CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS claims that devfs "is a more general
facility".  But that apparently hasn't been true since 2.5.68.  This patch
removes that claim, and adds a warning to the DEVFS_FS help.

This updates my email address.

This corrects the following problem:

- release user buffer mapping early in read path (prevent oops in some
  HBA drivers)
