Shouldn't we be grepping __crc_ symbols out of the System.map file?

For one thing, these can confuse readprofile.  It's algorithm is
to start at _stext, then stop when it sees a line in the System.map
which is not text (mode is one of 'T' 't' 'W' or 'w')

It will exit early if there are some intermixed __crc_* things in
there (since they are are mode 'A').

For example, in my current sparc64 kernel I have this:

00000000004cef80 t do_split
00000000004cf2a0 t add_dirent_to_buf
00000000004cf5a7 A __crc_init_special_inode
00000000004cf640 t make_indexed_dir
00000000004cf900 t ext3_add_entry

So no symbols after add_dirent_to_buf will be shown in the profiling
output of readprofile.

Implementation ported to mksysmap by Sam.
Included two System.map related fixes:
- Print "SYSMAP  System.map" during build
- Sort symbols in System.map

The newly introduced ->fcntl file_operation is badly thought out,
not to mention undocumented.  This patch replaces it with two better
defined operations -- check_flags and dir_notify.  Any other fcntl()s
that filesystems are interested in can have their own properly typed
f_op method when they need it.

Patch from Marc Singer

The work already done to rectify the timer code initialization missed
a necessary change.  This patch adds a timer initialization function
to the LPD7A400 machine type.  It also makes a small correction to the
kernel configuration that is out of step with the machine specific
Kconfig.

Patch from Marc Singer

This patch aligns the lh7a40x port with the updated structure of IDE
drivers.  It also removes an unused FIQ handler.  This patch is made
in order to get the lh7a40x port to build.

Patch from Catalin Marinas

This patch replaces the -mshort-load-bytes option with $(call
check_gcc,-malignment-traps,-mshort-load-bytes) in the CFLAGS
setting in arch/arm/Makefile.

In the *ppos cleanups, proc_dol2crvec was updated, but the prototype
found at the top of kernel/sysctl.h was not, generating warning.  This
corrects the prototype to match the code.

(I'm gonna take a stab at moving these into arch/ppc shortly)

Normal users shouldn't have access to the raw device anyway
unless they are in the trusted "disk" group, but let's require
RAWIO capabilities. That's what the original SCSI interfaces
did anyhoo.

We probably _should_ just require write access, but that will
need more of a code change to pass down the file descriptor.

We must setup the queue before calling elevator_init(), otherwise the
elevator cannot use the queue members. This really hurts cfq since it
checks ->nr_requests, which is zero at that time.

From: Benno <benjl@cse.unsw.edu.au>
When compiling Linux on Mac OSX I had trouble with scripts/sumversion.c.
It includes <netinet/in.h> to obtain to definitions of htonl and ntohl.

On Mac OSX these are found in <arpa/inet.h>. After checking the POSIX
specification it appears that this is the correct place to get
the definitons for these functions.

(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/htonl.html)

Using this header also appears to work on Linux (at least with
Glibc-2.3.2).

It seems clearer to me to go with the POSIX standard than implementing
#if __APPLE__ style macros, but if such an approach is preferred I can
supply patches for that instead.
