This patch fixes the es1370 build problems due to virt_to_bus() being gone.

This patch is a redesign for videodev.[ch]. Changes: - drop the function pointers (read/write/mmap/poll/...) from struct video_device, use struct file_operations directly instead. Dispatching to different drivers by minor number is done the same way soundcore.o handles this: swap file->f_fops at open() time. - also drop the now obsolete video_red/write/mmap/poll/... functions from videodev.c - Stop using the BKL, use a mutex to protect open,register+unregister calls against races. - provide a video_generic_ioctl() function which can (and should) be used by v4l drivers to handle copying from and to userspace. - provide video_exclusive_open/release functions which can be used by v4l drivers to make sure only one process at a time opens the device. They can be hooked directly into struct file_operations if some driver has nothing to initialize at open time (which is true for many drivers in drivers/media/radio/). The move from function pointers in struct video_device to struct file_operations does break all existing v4l drivers. Thus I have a large number of patches for the drivers in the kernel tree. Most of it is just the adoption to the videodev.[ch] changes, but I've also fixed a small bug there and there while walking througth the source files.

This patch fixes the build failure of the miro radio driver due to the new location of the sound drivers in the tree (alsa merge).

This patch updates/fixes the video4linux API documantation. The current description for mmap() based capture is unclear and somewhat misleading.

- Preliminary version of NAND flash support. - Locking documentation and fixes (including BKL removal because it's superfluous). - Performance improvements - especially for mount time. - Annoying stuff like i_nlink on directories fixed. - Portability cleanups.

Seperates cramfs_sb_info from struct super_block.

Number 7. This patch contains four cleanup changes whose aim is better code self-documentation (the best way to document IMHO). They are sent together because they overlap. 1. Rename the variable "sys_idle" to 'original_pm_idle'. This is where we store the value that we find in pm_idle before we substitute the address of our own apm_cpu_idle() function. In principle we have no idea whose address this is, so the variable name shouldn't imply that we know that this is the address of a system idle function; it should simply indicate that it is the original value of pm_idle. 2. Variable "apm_is_idle" is renamed 'apm_idle_done'. This flag indicates when apm_do_idle() has been called. It is a premise of apm_cpu_idle()'s operation that it is not known whether the apm_do_idle() function really idles the CPU. The name of the flag should not lead one to believe otherwise. 3. Variable "t1" is renamed 'bucket'. The variable is not a time but a countdown ("bucket"), so the variable name should not lead one to believe it is some sort of time value. 4. A default: case is added to the switch in order to remind the reader that there is a third possible return value from apm_do_idle().

Number 6 This patch cleans up the way the ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY macro forces calling of the APM BIOS busy routine. Instead of storing a false value in clock_slowed, we disjoin clock_slowed with the value of ALWAYS_CALL_BUSY. This simplifies the code.

Number 5 from Thomas Hood This patch renames the static function "apm_set_power_state" to 'set_system_power_state'. Generally, the prefix 'apm_' is required to prevent external name collisions on exported functions. This is a static function, so the prefix isn't required for that purpose. The prefix might also indicate that this function has something particularly to do with the apm subsystem; but that's not the case here. This function is simply a wrapper for set_power_state(), inserting the argument which sets the power state for the whole system. My main motivation for wanting to change this name is clearly to indicate the difference between this function and set_power_state(). Also, I would like to export set_power_state() someday in the future, but this is a separate issue.

This is number four and actually fixes a bug. This patch moves the setting of the ignore_normal_resume flag prior to the sti(); otherwise BIOS-generated normal resume events slip through unignored.

Here is the third one. This patch moves the apm_error() function higher in the file so that it is adjacent to the error_table that it uses. This makes the code easier to read. The beginning of the file is an appropriate place for "utility" functions of this kind. This is a pure move, with no changes made to the function.

Second in a series of patches from Thomas Hood. This patch eliminates the 0 initializers on three static variables inside the apm_cpu_idle function. These initializers are superfluous. The initializers are replaced with comments whose purpose is to indicate that the code relies upon the fact that these variables are initialized to zero at load time.

This is the first of a series of patches I have got from Thomas Hood that modify the apm code mainly for better self documentation. This one does: Variable "waiting_for_resume" is renamed 'ignore_sys_suspend'. The reason for the change is that this flag variable is employed in a manner analogous to that of other flag variables named 'ignore ...'. When the flag is set, the driver needs to ignore further system suspends. The driver does not "wait" in the usual sense of that word. The only sense in which the driver waits is the sense in which it needs to continue to ignore system suspends until certain events occur. One such event is a resume. However, another such event is the vetoing of the suspend request by a driver. So it would be more accurate to call the flag 'waiting_for_resume_or_suspend_reject' or something like that. But for the reason mentioned first, an even better name is 'ignore_sys_suspend'.

kill_super() and deactivate_super() merged. Next step will be to export these suckers - after that we will be finally done with infrastructure for filesystems with nontrivial ->get_sb().

New helper - sget(). get_sb_bdev() and get_anon_super() switched to using it. Basically, it's get_anon_super() done right (and get_anon_super() itself will probably die).

Last week I sent you a patch adding a config option to honor the pirq mask in the PCI routing table. On your suggestion, Cory Bell made it a command line option using the pci= interface and we both agree with you, it's -much- cleaner this way. Patch against 2.5.6 (Cory's submitting for 2.4, I've tested and submitting towards 2.5). All credit goes to Cory Bell, with only minor input and testing from myself.

Switch to using kmalloc to allocate the minix superblock structure.

Start of cleaning up the union of filesystem-specific structures in struct super_block. The goal is to remove dependence on filesystem headers in fs.h. This patch abstracts the access to the minix_sb_info structure through the function minix_sb().

The following patch makes directory notifications per thread group instead of per process tree as they are now. This means, in particular, that if a child closes a file descriptor that has a directory open with notifies enabled, the notification will not be removed. Thanks to Andrea for the push in the right direction.

Support fsid=<number> export option to be device number independent This patch was largely supplied by Steven Whitehouse <steve@gw.chygwyn.com> A new export option "NFSEXP_FSID" indicates that the ex_dev passed down is a user specified number, not a device number. It should be used in fsid_type==1 filehandles to identify the the exportpoint rather than the devid and inode (as in fsid_type == 0). This allows filehandles to be device-number independent so that when Linux changes device numbers on you (after reboot), your filesystems wont go stale. User-space support for this is in the nfs-utils CVS and will be in the next release (any release > 1.0).

As it's linked after PCI, usb_init() will be called after pci_init(), which is an subsys_initcall, too. Subtle, but right.

Grr... When loop in get_sb_bdev() had been switched from global list of superblock to per-type one, we should have switched from sb_entry(p) (aka. list_entry(p, struct super_block, s_list)) to list_entry(p, struct super_block, s_instances). As it is, we end up with false negatives all the time. I.e. second mount from the same block device with the same type gices a new superblock. With obvious nasty results... This fixes that.
