The RTL8150 USB Ethernet driver doesn't work on big endian machines. Here are
patches (for both 2.4.x and 2.5.x) to fix that. The fix was tested on the
2.4.20 and 2.4.21-rc1 version of the driver on big endian MIPS.

Changes:
  - Fix endianness of rx_creg (from Dimitri Torfs <Dimitri.Torfs@sonycom.com>)
  - Kill unused last parameter of async_set_registers()

I got an error at the final linking of 2.5.68-bk11. It seems the patch
below is needed.

This patch adds a new "I/O watchdog" role to the existing
timer code, and cleans it up a bit.  If you want to run
EHCI without IRQs, it's now simple:  disable them, and
tweak the timer appropriately.

The patch should help with these reported problems.

    (a) Bulk I/O sometimes seems to stop progressing.  Not
        trouble in itself, but usb-storage and scsi could
        wedge deeply because of bugs in their fault recovery;
        and then the problems could break khubd and rmmod...

    (b) Some periodic transfers need to be "jumpstarted".
        Usually seen with a high speed hub.

I've modified James Courtier-Dutton description from Optio 430 => Optio
2/3/400 since it applies to Optio 330 and possible 230 too.

Attached are the patch that was tried with Pentax Optio S and Optio 330 RS.
I've talked to Pete Zaitcev and he said I should be using CB instead since
more devices liked that better... so I leave that to you!

[PATCH] USB: replace kdev_t with int in usb_interface structure, as only drivers with the USB major use it.

Try to avoid calling "pfn_to_page()" on invalid pfn's.  It used to be
legal, but the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM people want us to try to avoid it,
since they do magic stuff in their "pfn_to_page" translations.

Just make x86-64/amd64 compile again.  Only architecture specific
changes.

And a workaround for the Opteron prefetch bug.

Also remove the obsolete LVM1 ioctl emulation code.

Brown paperbag time. I forgot to take the modrm byte in account
with the prefetch patch replacement.  With 3.2 it worked because
it used the right registers in my configuration.

But gcc 2.96 uses a different register in __dpath and the prefetch becomes
4 bytes with modrm and the original nop needs to be as long as that too.

Leftovers from the mem_map_reserve-removal patch.

Changes:

  - Convert to a static highlevel handle for all drivers. Gets rid of
    a kmalloc for each driver and consolidates the highlevel handle and
    highlevel ops. Reduces points of failure as well.
  - Move host number allocation to hosts.c, giving all drivers access to
    it.
  - Implemented S800 changes for core and sbp2. Thanks to TI and LaCie
    for hardware to test this. 1394b support coming soon.
  - Convert nodemgr to using a similar device classification hack as
    usb. The old class_num hack I had in place was broken do to its
    removal. This is a much cleaner solution.

Missed parts of the ioctl32 compatibility patch: a few ioctls from
PA-RISC, and missing <linux/compat_ioctl.h> file.

Here are two vicam.c patches to clean up and restore copyright notices
for 2.4.21-rc1 and 2.5.68-bk9. At some point in time Pavel and my
copyrights were remove inadvertenly from the code.

drivers/input/misc/uinput.c::uinput_alloc_device(): reduce stack size
from 0x480 to 0x24;

reduce stack usage in sw_connect() from 0x490 to 0x98 on P4 SMP (gcc 3.2);

 - kill dups in ide.c and ide-disk.c
 - read_24() is exported so rename it to ide_read_24()
 - add it ide.h

They are unused, not needed and identical to generic ones so kill 'em:
    task_read_24(),
    task_try_to_flush_leftover_data(),
    taskfile_dump_status(),
    taskfile_error().

There's an (fortunately unused) devfs in misc_register currently,
when the name of the miscdevice contains a slash the name is used
as devfs name instead of misc/<name>.  Kill if as we have .devfs_name
for this kind of stuff now.

ioctl32 cleanups are pretty neccessary (we have 6+ copies of 600+
lines tables, all getting slightly out of sync, not speaking about
surrounding code produced by cut-and-paste).

There's three drivers in the tree that workaround the suboptimal
devfs name choice of the misc device layer (/dev/misc/<foo>) using
devfs_mk_symlink.    Switch them to set miscdev.devfs_name instead
to get the right name from the very beginning.

- Remove all uses of unnamed structs and unions in the driver to make
  old and newer gcc versions happy. Makes it a bit uglier IMO but at
  least people will stop hassling me

Add some spinlock protection around the oom-killer state.

From Robert Day, through "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

This is a patch from Robert Day that does the following:

1) shift menu item in "Processor type and features" menu
2) clean up "Bus options" menu so it's actually hierarchical

Part of it (moving X86_IO_APIC around) looked a little odd to me,
so I asked Roman Zippel about it, and he replied:

"It's correct, although I wouldn't call it a 'design quirk'. :)
It forces one to group options which belong logically together and in this
case X86_IO_APIC is really a bit misplaced, even if it's not visible."

I have tested it (on 2.5.68-plain) and it does indeed make the menus
more hierarchical.
