Unfortunately, the .../new_id feature does not work with the 8250_pci
driver.

The reason for this comes down to the way .../new_id is implemented.
When PCI tries to match a driver to a device, it checks the modules
static device ID tables _before_ checking the dynamic new_id tables.

When a driver is capable of matching by ID, and falls back to matching
by class (as 8250_pci does), this makes it absolutely impossible to
specify a board by ID, and as such the correct driver_data value to
use with it.

Let's say you have a serial board with vendor 0x1234 and device 0x5678.
It's class is set to PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_SERIAL.

On boot, this card is matched to the 8250_pci driver, which tries to
probe it because it matched using the class entry.  The driver finds
that it is unable to automatically detect the correct settings to use,
so it returns -ENODEV.

You know that the information the driver needs is to match this card
using a device_data value of '7'.  So you echo 1234 5678 0 0 0 0 7
into new_id.

The kernel attempts to re-bind 8250_pci to this device.  However,
because it scans the PCI driver tables, it _again_ matches the class
entry which has the wrong device_data.  It fails.

End of story.  You can't support the card without rebuilding the
kernel (or writing a specific PCI probe module to support it.)

So, can we make new_id override the driver-internal PCI ID tables?
IOW, like this:

There was an off-by-one bug in bnx2_tx_avail().  If the tx ring is
completely full, the producer and consumer indices may be apart by
256 even though the ring size is only 255.  One entry in the ring is
unused and must be properly accounted for when calculating the number
of available entries.  The bug caused the tx ring entries to be
reused by mistake, overwriting active entries, and ultimately causing
it to crash.

This bug rarely occurs because the tx ring is rarely completely full.
We always stop when there is less than MAX_SKB_FRAGS entries available
in the ring.

Hugh Dickins correctly points out that mincore() is actually _supposed_
to fail on an unmapped hole in the user address space, rather than
return valid ("empty") information about the hole.  This just simplifies
the problem further (I had been misled by our previous confusing and
complicated way of doing mincore()).

Also, in the unlikely situation that we can't allocate a temporary
kernel buffer, we should actually return EAGAIN, not ENOMEM, to keep the
"unmapped hole" and "allocation failure" error cases separate.

Finally, add a comment about our stupid historical lack of support for
anonymous mappings.  I'll fix that if somebody reminds me after 2.6.20
is out.
