. this allows us to kill the shorlived kmalloc/kfree for events in the fast path.
. because of this there is no need for the skb member in the event structs
. use more labeled elements in the transition tables
. simplify llc_sock proc routine
. more kernedoc style comments
. 
. remove unused defines in llc_main.h

. create llc_set_backlog_type and llc_backlog_type
. 

This just adds an if switch to irq_balance which the compiler optimises
away anyway.

This patch that adds a prctl so that processes can set their
floating-point exception mode on PPC and on PPC64.  We need this
because the FP exception mode is controlled by bits in the machine
state register, which can only be accessed by the kernel, and because
the exception mode setting interacts with the lazy FPU save/restore
that the kernel does.

The patch allows userspace to issue printk's, via sys_syslog().

The main use of this is within hpa's klibc - initial userspace needs a
way of logging information and this API allows that information to be
captured into the printk ringbuffer.  It ends up in /var/log/messages.

Messages are truncated at 1024 characters by printk's vsprintf().

Requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

JFS needs this.

Convert ext2 initialisers to c99 format.  From Art Haas.

Make sure we delete devices from the driver list the iteration after we 
detach them (so we can get a valid next pointer)

- I changed the sector_t thing in max_block to use davem's approach.
  I agree with Anton, but making it explicit doesn't hurt.

- Remove a dead comment in copy_strings.

Old stuff:

- Remove the IO error warning in end_buffer_io_sync().  Failed READA
  attempts trigger it.

- Emit a warning when an ext2 is mounting an ext3 filesystem.

  We have had quite a few problem reports related to this, mainly
  arising from initrd problems.  And mount(8) tends to report the
  fstype from /etc/fstab rather than reporting what has really
  happened.

Fixes some bogosity which I added to max_block():

- `size' doesn't need to be sector_t

- `retval' should not be initialised to "~0UL" because that is
  0x00000000ffffffff with 64-bit sector_t.

- Allocate task_structs with GFP_KERNEL, as discussed.

- Convert the EXPORT_SYMBOL for generic_file_direct_IO() to
  EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.  That was only exported as a practicality for the
  raw driver.

- Make the loop thread run balance_dirty_pages() after dirtying the
  backing file.  So it will perform writeback of the backing file when
  dirty memory levels are high.  Export balance_dirty_pages to GPL
  modules for this.

  This makes loop work a lot better - I suspect it broke when callers
  of balance_dirty_pages() started writing back only their own queue.

  There are many page allocation failures under heavy loop writeout.
  Coming from blk_queue_bounce()'s allocation from the page_pool
  mempool.  So...

- Disable page allocation warnings around the initial atomic
  allocation attempt in mempool_alloc() - the one where __GFP_WAIT and
  __GFP_IO were turned off.  That one can easily fail.

- Add some commentary in block_write_full_page()

get_page_state() is showing up on profiles on some big machines.  It is
a quite expensive function and it is being called too often.

The patch replaces the hardwired RATELIMIT_PAGES with a calculated
amount based on the amount of memory in the machine and the number of
CPUs.

Replace the buffer lru spinlock protection with local_irq_disable and a
cross-CPU call to invalidate them.

include/linux/prefetch.h does a strange thing: if the arch doesn't have
the prefectch functions, this header defines no-op version of them and
then defines ARCH_HAS_PREFETCH.  So there's no way for mainline code to
know if the architecture *really* has prefetch instructions.

This information loss is unfortunate.  Examples:

	for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
		prefetch(foo[i]);

   Problem is, if `prefetch' is a no-op, the compiler will still
   generate an empty busy-wait loop.  Which it must do.  We need to
   know the truth about ARCH_HAS_PREFETCH to correctly elide that loop.

  - fixed deadlock

This implements CLONE_VM_RELEASE, which lets the child release the 'user
VM' at mm_release() time.

the attached patch implements the per-CPU thread-structure cache to do
detached exit, if the parent does not want to be notified of child exit
via a signal.

This adds two new clone() flags:

    CLONE_SETTLS => if present then the third clone() syscall parameter
                    is the new TLS.

    CLONE_SETTID => if present then the child TID is written to the
                    address specified by the fourth clone() parameter.

the new parameters are handled in a safe way, clone() returns -EFAULT or
-EINVAL if there's some problem with them.

Here is a trivial bug fix for blkdev_reread_part() in 2.5.31.
Without this fix,  "fdisk" hangs with following messages:

	Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

	WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16:
			Device or resource busy.
	The kernel still uses the old table.
	The new table will be used at the next reboot.
