This patch switches to using the _etext linker symbol instead of
__data_rom_start for the ce2 68VZ328 platform. I intend to
deprecate the __data_rom_start linker symbol in the future.

  Added and #if/#endif pair to "remove" the un-used unknown_chipset declaration.

  Comments in generic.c indicate that unknow_chipset this will be used again

  VT support requires drivers/char/keyboard.c which makes function
  calls implemented in drivers/input/, so that attempting to set
  CONFIG_INPUT=m or just not setting CONFIG_INPUT will result in a
  compile error if CONFIG_VT is on.

  this patch for drivers/ide/legacy/umc8672.c ide driver for Linux

  I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested.  This patch removes

  As part of the Linux Kernel Janitors project, I would like to submit my
  patch for bpqether.c.

  The document Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt says that cli() should no
  longer be used to disable interrupts. This patch removes all references to
  cli() and {save,restore}_flags.

  - added a static spinlock to protect bpq_devices
  - changed cli/sti and {save,restore}_flags to taking the spinlock and
    disabling interrupts with spin_lock_irqsave
  - included my previous patch for proc_net_create, but as a separate hunk,
    so if you've already applied then just ignore the rejected hunk.

  I have verified that the patched driver compiles without warnings, but
  since I don't have the hardware I can't test it. Please treat with
  caution.
