Use the correct size for "name" in register_with_devfs().

During Al Viro's devfs cleanup a few versions ago, this function was
rewritten, and the "name" string added. The 32-byte size is not large
enough to prevent a possible buffer overflow in the sprintf() call,
since the hash cell can have a name up to 128 characters.

Return correct error codes from dm_table_add_target().  [Kevin Corry]

Another fix for the __LOW macro.

When dm_table and dm_target structures are initialized, the "limits" fields
(struct io_restrictions) are initialized to zero (e.g. in dm_table_add_target()
in dm-table.c). However, zero is not a useable value in these fields. The
request queue will never let an I/O through, regardless of how small it might
be, if max_sectors is set to zero (see generic_make_request in ll_rw_blk.c).
This change to the __LOW() macro sets these fields correctly when they are
first initialized.  [Kevin Corry]

Allow slashes ('/') within a DM device name, but not at the beginning.

Devfs will automatically create all necessary sub-directories if a name
with embedded slashes is registered.  [Kevin Corry]

Silly mistake in error path when an unknown target type is requested.

Fix __LOW macro.  [Kevin Corry]

When reloading a device the ioctl interface was forgetting to drop a
reference on the new table.

The following patch fixes it:

Patrick pointed out that I could get into a ABBA issue with holding
list_lock while calling scsi_eh_scmd_add which takes host_lock.
A call to scsi_prep_fn already holds the queue_lock and then makes a
call to scsi_get_command which takes list_lock.

Sorry, I sent you the wrong paetch, here's the right one:

Untested, 2.5.63

I remember having this submitted a while ago, but here's the code
again, this time with the untested aic79xx bits.

Not tested, against 2.5.63

This patch makes sure that there is a "0x" in front of all hex numbers and
makes all outputs use a single style (all %x instead of mixed %x and %X).

Same bug as other sym driver.

Spelling fixes! Woo! I gotta get me some of that.

First hunk is unexplained.
Second hunk had the 2.4 changeset comment 'fix warnings'

This made it into 2.4, and aparently fixes
a problem with some tape devices.

>From 2.4

1) apic_write_around(APIC_ID, boot_cpu_physical_apicid) places the APIC
value in the lower 8 bits of APIC_ID, when it should be in the upper 8. As
as result, it effectively forces the APIC id to always be 0 for the boot
CPU, which is fatal on SMP AMD boxes.

 Fix: don't do the write at all. The APIC_ID value should be right already.

2) phys_cpu_present_map = 1 means we always set bit 0, but later on
   in setup_local_APIC() we do
        if (!clustered_apic_mode &&
            !test_bit(GET_APIC_ID(apic_read(APIC_ID)), &phys_cpu_present_map))
                BUG();
and the bug is triggered if the APIC_ID is not zero.

 Fix: initialize 'phys_cpu_present_map' correctly.

        In kernel 2.5.63, you have moved more wireless LAN drivers
into ../drivers/net/wireless/. Unfortunately, there was a bit more to
cleanup as the result of this work.
        You will need to :
                o Apply the attached patch
                o rm /drivers/net/pcmcia/aironet4500_cs.c

        Have fun...

        Jean

P.S. : You will notice that I took the liberty to organise the config
option in what I hope is a more logical order.
