The condition still seems to happen on ppc64.

sock_sendmsg() modifies iovec passed to it - it sets all length members of
iovec array to zero on success transmission (and even on failed if it
fails after iovec copy, but...) and advances pointers to point at the end
of buffers used. This has an unfortunate effect that ncpfs's retry on
failure does not work for IPX/UDP connections - kernel refused to do anything
because length from iovec was 0 while length passed to sock_sendmsg() was
correct.

This simple fix gets rid of a problem by creating temporary iovec copy, which can
sock_sendmsg destroy if it has such wish.

This adds infrared remote support for a few more bt878-based TV cards.

The first three bio and request flags are no longer identical.  The bio
barrier and rw flags are getting set in __make_request and get_request
respectively, and failfast is getting left out.

This sets the request's failfast flag in __make_request when the bio's
flag is set.

The ppc64 fix last week (enforcing permissions on the kernel when
accessing userspace pages) uncovered a bug on POWER3/RS64. We werent
zeroing the segment table entry before overwriting it and it was possible
for the ks bit to be set on a kernel segment.

The VSID mask was also changed to match reality (we only use 13 bits).

This patch reworks the early boot calls to OF to initialize displays.

All present displays are now initialized in reverse order so the
OF console stays on the first one. Initializing them all is necessary
for dual head configurations as we need OF driver to properly setup
the secondary TMDS of the video card, XFree isn't able to do that
currently

The assembly code used to callback into Open Firmware client
interface in 32 bits mode used to backup the stack pointer in
the SPRG2 register.

That upsets Apple's implementation of Open Firmware significantly
and maybe others, causing them to crash in _some_ operations,
apparently the trigger is to cause a segment or hash table
fault, typically happens when letting that code initialize the
second display.

This patch fixes it, along with other cleanups of that asm code,
it did unnecessary register restores and backing up the stack
pointer is actually useless anyway.

Strangely, I though I fixed that a long time ago, but it was still
broken in the current tree...

Drivers like radeonfb fail to find the OF device matching a given PCI
device on the G5 AGP bus because of some bus renumbering tricks.  This
patch fixes the problem by fixing the bus numbers in the OF node.  This
corrects radeonfb and other drivers looking for EDID / PLL datas in the
OF node.

Especially with REGPARM these things actually matter.

This fixes possible lockups in pmac_zilog when beeing flooded with
incoming data (not that other serial drivers share the same race, I told
Russel about it already).  It also fixes some SCC initialization
problems, add some PM callback, and fix the irda setup code.

This does cosmetic changes the pmac_zilog, changing the use of "up" as
an identifier in favor "uap" to avoid collision with semaphores, use
proper debug macros, and a few other cosmetic bits.

Original patch from Stephen Hemminger

Move last bits of code out of irsyms and onto irmod.c where
initialization happens.

Move irda_debug parameter out of irsyms.c into irmod.c
and make it a new style module parameter.

irda_device_setup can now be static, only called from alloc_irdadev.

Also, make type __u16 rather than unsigned short to
match input parameter.

Also, make get_{saddr,daddr} inline and rename
lmp_reasons to irlmp_reasons.

This got fixed in 2.4, but somehow got missed in 2.6.

This is a cleaner fix for the previous bogon fix.

- Move free_block prototype, and ac_entry and ac_data functions up in file.

- Use list_for_each_entry in cpuup_callback.

- Remove unneccessary g_cpucache_up in cpuup_callback.

- Make reap_timer_func take CPU number as data, and check if that is
  offline before rescheduing (noop without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU).

Levent Serinol <levent.serinol@mynet.com> found that the hotplug cpu
patch broke Sparc64.  I introduced a num_possible_cpus(), which
Sparc64 already has.  Remove the Sparc64 one.

I also removed Sparc64's cpu_online() macro: it's in linux/cpumask.h
already.

Note that without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, online cpus == possible cpus, so
substitutions are a noop.

- Changes show_stat to print out stats for every possible cpu, not
  just online CPUs.

- Allocate mem in stat_open on possible, not online_cpus.

- Add conventient macros to cpu.h: especially cpu_is_offline() for
  testing if a cpu is still online.

- Add a num_possible_cpus() similar to num_online_cpus(), and define
  cpu_possible_mask for UP.

- Allow printk on down cpus once system is running.

- Mask cpumask with possible, not online cpus, for sys_getaffinity().
