If I compile a recent 2.5.x kernel without CONFIG_ISA defined, I get
an oops in validate_mem().  Stack trace contains 0x6b6b6b6 - a clear
sign that freed memory is being accessed.

It's the second validate_mem() in drivers/pcmcia/rsrc_mgr.c - the one
used when CONFIG_PCMCIA_PROBE is not defined.  It turns out the memory
is freed in do_mem_probe() when it's called from validate_mem().

The solution is to use the same trick as in the first validate_mem().
This problem is quite serious and it's not specific to the plx9052
driver. I see it with yenta_socket as well.

There's no need to keep the stubs around.

Patch from Pavel Roskin

ds.h should not be including linux/device.h when compiling userspace
code.

(i) Replace in struct loop_info the dev_t field by __kernel_old_dev_t,
where this type is defined in <asm/posix_types.h>, so that problems
with a differently sized dev_t in userspace are avoided.

(ii) Introduce a new loop_info64, with __u64 device, inode and offset
fields.

This replaces checkboxes by radiobuttons whereever necessary (menu
choices).  It partially fixes the #540 bug report.

Second try at the bridge driver module handling cleanup...

1) Eliminate keeping a seperate bridge_list and use a bit on
   the priv_flags structure.  This is equivalent to how the VLAN
   code works. Makes code cleaner and correctly handles cases like
   creating a bridge with the same name as an existing ether device etc.

2) Don't do own module ref counting that is inhernently racy.
   Instead set owner field and cleanup debris on unload.

3) Do last state cleanup in destructor

4) Change of bridge state (dev_open/stop) should use write_lock

5) Make sure timer is not running when cleared.

6) Use "const char *" where possible

o As requested, macros in dn_fib.h changed to decnet specific names
o Two bugs fixed (only in 2.5 decnet stack) relating to bind and connection
  states.
o Numerous style changes: using C99 initialisers and inline rather
  than __inline__
o Use struct flowi as routing key (for forthcoming flow cache)
o Add metrics to routing table
o Many routing table bug fixes
o New wait code to improve efficiency
o We use real device MTUs now rather than saying "hmm... looks like ethernet
  must be 1500" as we used to (still one or two places to fix, but its
  mostly correct in this patch)
o Tidy up in af_decnet.c:dn_sendmsg() in preparation for zerocopy
o Updates to rtnetlink code to return more information
o Removed ioctl() for decnet fib. It never did anything and rtnetlink is
  a far better interface anyway.
o Converted /proc/decnet_neigh to seq_file (other /proc files to follow)
o DECnet route cache now uses RCU like the ipv4 route cache
o Misc bug fixes wherever I found them
o SO_BINDTODEVICE works for outgoing connections

There's just one caller in fs/devfs/base.c left.

Always pass around the pathnames for the devfs entries / directories
instead of the devfs_handle_ts.  Cleanes up the code massivly.

Pass in the path directly instead of getting it from a devfs_handle_t.

Store the path of it's devfs directory in struct scsi_device.  Use
it in the devfs_register calls instead of the devfs_handle_t
which will go away soon.

Store the path of it's devfs directory in ide_drive_t.  Use
it in the devfs_register calls instead of the devfs_handle_t
which will go away soon.

Make sure the first argument to devfs_register is zero.

As several people found out while I was asleep I sent you
a bogus patch version and devfs didn't compile in your
tree since then.  Fix it.

Supporting PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE is a "won't fix" for 2.6.  (Bill
Irwin)

didn't work.

This allows the SCSI subsystem to build on systems where
CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is not set.

Only call pci_remove_behind_bridge() if we have a PCI-based bridge
controller.

When a "depends" statement against all configuration options of a choice,
which causes all options of that choice to be disabled, it sends Kconfig
into an infinite loop.  Move the "depends" clause to the choice statement
instead.
