* svc_export ->ex_dev turned into dev_t.  It's a pure search
key and all places that set it actually do to_kdev_t(some_dev_t_expression).

	* ->dev killed for md/linear.c (same as previous parts)

	* md_import_device() returns resulting rdev or ERR_PTR(error)
instead of returning 0 or error an letting caller find rdev.

	* a bunch of callers of partition_name() are calling
bdev_partition_name(),
	* the last users of raid1 and multipath ->dev are gone; so are
the fields in question.

	* ->diskop() split into individual methods; prototypes cleaned
up.  In particular, handling of hot_add_disk() gets mdk_rdev_t * of
the component we are adding as an argument instead of playing the games
with major/minor.  Code cleaned up.

	* ->error_handler() switched to struct block_device *.
	* md_sync_acct() switched to struct block_device *.
	* raid5 struct disk_info ->dev is gone - we use ->bdev everywhere.
	* bunch of kdev_same() when we have corresponding struct block_device *
and can simply compare them is removed from drivers/md/*.c

	* since the last caller of is_read_only() is gone, the function
itself is removed.
	* destroy_buffers() is not used anymore; gone.
	* fsync_dev() is gone; the only user is (broken) lvm.c and first
step in fixing lvm.c will consist of propagating struct block_device *
anyway; at that point we'll just use fsync_bdev() in there.
	* prototype of bio_ioctl() removed - function doesn't exist
anymore.

	* Bunch of functions in cdrom.c used to get kdev_t and use it
only to do cdrom_find_device(dev), even though their callers already
had struct cdrom_device_info * in question.  Switched to passing
said pointer directly.
	* useless exports removed; stuff not used outside of cdrom.c
made static.

	* calc_dev_sboffset() and calc_dev_size() in md.c are getting
mk_rdev_t instead of kdev_t.  Callers updated.
	* calls of blkdev_size_in_bytes() in md.c replaced with use
of rdev->bdev->bd_inode->i_size.

	* devpts "upcalls" eliminated.
	* instead of playing games with revalidation we simply use
ramfs-style tree and kill dentries upon devpts_pty_kill().  That
allows to get rid of a lot of code in fs/devpts/*.c.
	* devpts_fs.h cleaned up.
	* devpts/root.c and devpts/devpts_i.h removed.
	* array of pointers to devpts inodes killed; with ramfs-style tree
it's not needed anymore.
	* devpts/inode.c cleaned up.
	* devpts_pty_new() used to get mk_kdev() only to convert it to
dev_t (hardly a surprise, since it's mknod() in disguise).  Now it gets
dev_t as an argument.

The last changes did trigger another latent bug in the inline assembly.
akpm noticed it because he compiles his kernels with frame pointers.

into home.transmeta.com:/home/torvalds/v2.5/linux

Uninline elv_next_request() and move it to elevator.c, where it belongs.
Because of CURRENT declaration, this actually saves lots of space.  From
Andrew.

init_rootfs() (from ramfs) doesn't appear in any header file.  I didn't
see any that looked like a good home, so lets put a prototype at the top
of fs/namespace.c.  This only use of this function is in namespace.c.

This patch makes sure the 3c509 module license is always GPL.  Currently
the MODULE_LICENSE() marco is only used when CONFIG_ISAPNP or
CONFIG_ISAPNP_MODULE is defined.  I have moved MODULE_LICENSE() to the
#ifdef MODULE section at the bottom of 3c509.c.

Same is true for the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.

Not sure why I forgot to do this, but here is a small bit of tidying up
of some leftover parentheses from the memlist macro removal. The
parentheses are just noise and should go.

page_alloc.c does not use either slab.h or swapctl.h. This removes the
inclusion of those headers from page_alloc.c

nr_free_pages() is overly verbose. The following is perhaps clearer and
gets to the point with fewer lines of code and inside of 80 columns.

14 of our 17 architectures define sys_pause exactly the same
way.  The other three don't define it at all.  I assume glibc
translates pause() into sigsuspend() or something.

In favour of those now in kernel.h..

Three arch-determining symbols in drivers/mtd/maps/Config.in are wrong.
They have apparently been generated using the sensible pattern "CONFIG_FOO"
for an architecture "foo"; unfortunately the architectures are not sensible.

  CONFIG_SPARC should be CONFIG_SPARC32
  CONFIG_I386 should be CONFIG_X86
  CONFIG_SH should be CONFIG_SUPERH

Removed a spurious menu definition which was both a duplicate and
had no matching "endmenu".

Removed an "endmenu" for which there was no opening "mainmenu_option".

The config language is *not* shell.  The construct "[ foo ] || [ bar ]"
is legal in shell but not in the config language, where we should use
the equivalent "[ foo -o bar ]"

The format for the "choice" statement is:

  choice 'prompt' "{sub-prompt sub-symbol}*" default-value

and the following is *not* legal config language (note the
positioning of the closing double quote):

  choice 'prompt' "{sub-prompt sub-symbol}* default-value"

It only happens to work because of a combination of accidental
side effects of the current parsers:

  *   unpaired sub-words inside the 2nd word are silently ignored
  *   the missing last word is silently treated as if empty

Two symbols used in drivers/net/wan/Config.in are misspelled.

CONFIG_PPP_MULTLINK should be CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK
CONFIG_PPP_SYNCTTY should be CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY
