Noticed by Christophe Saout <christophe@saout.de>.

This code has been dead since kernel 2.4.2 and it is bogus too.

Patch from Bjorn Helgaas

This patch makes ACPI serial ports work right when the serial driver
is built as a module.  Previously, loading worked fine, but we
didn't clean up on module removal.

Patch from Bjorn Helgaas

I propose the following HCDP Kconfig patch.  It makes HCDP
selectable only when serial console has been selected.  One
desirable side effect is that both are then available only
when statically compiled in (i.e., not built as a module).

The HCDP support doesn't actually depend on IA64, but I left
that in for now because nobody else implements support for it
and I don't want people confused by a selectable option that
doesn't do anything.  Maybe a "depends on EFI" or something
will be useful eventually.

Obviously almost noone uses the pdeath_signal feature, since this has gone
unnoticed for quite some time.

This patch calls the function that does the right locking for the context
of this call (inside exit_notify).  The names of the signal.c entrypoints
are a little confusing.

The spinlock was held while calling functions that could block,
while simultaneously being at all times inside the context of
module init/exit.

Thanks to DaveM.

The bug was caused by a flag being or'ed against an unitialized value, rather
than setting the flag correctly.

	correctly even on 32-bit hosts. As an added bonus, it's faster,
	too.  Run "unwcheck" by default, but for now, don't let unwcheck
	errors cause the kernel build to fail.

This patch fixes DMA bugs on x86-64 and ia64 machines.  The driver was
using commands that only support 32bit addresses in places that could
return 64bit addresses.  One place was DMAing off the stack.  The other
place was causing problems on x86-64 machines by calling pci_map()
functions on a region allocated by pci_alloc_consistent().

This patch fixes two minor bugs.  It allows zero length write commands
through to devices.  It also prevents the writing of any  '\0'
characters at the end of version numbers to ips's /proc/scsi files.

This is the qlogic driver version 8.00.00b7 with the ioctl and failover code stripped
out and a few associated fixes put in.

From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

The problem is that the detect function requests an IO region
of 16 bytes (at least when a command line override parameter is
used) but the release function only tries to release 8 bytes,
and this request isn't done because it doesn't match any allocated
IO region.  [NCR53C400 extensions are not enabled, so
NCR5380_region_size is 8, not 16, but the request uses
NCR5380_region_size regardless.]

Fix: save the allocated region size in instance->n_io_ports and release
   that size only;

This problem was the bug of packet_set_ring(). packet_set_ring()
removes the hook for preparation of ring buffer, but it didn't
restore.

Also it's leaking the refcount of sk.

Fixes build on some platforms.

Decnet exposes itself to proc and packets before it has finished initializing.
This was always a race, but the notifier replay might expose it worse.
