init_thread_union doesn't need to be exported to modules.

We haven't exported the symbol on ia64 for ages, and we should be able
to make the init_thread_union local to arch/ARCH/kernel/init_task.c and
that in turn would let us remove its declaration from
include/linux/sched.h altogether (i.e., no more ugly #ifdefs).

Trivial addition needed for the hp Itanium machines.

the top of the kernel stack space before entering userland.

 Kay Sievers tried with his ~500kB firmware image and kmalloc was not
 capable of getting that much memory. He suggested using vmalloc which
 sound reasonable.

Made variables static that were global, and cleaned up some sparse warnings.

This patch converts the file to C99 initializers. The patch is against
the current BK. The patch is untested as I don't have access to an Alpha
machine.

The oprofile_arch_exit() in discarded .exit.text section is being
called from oprofile_init() in retained .init.text section.
This causes final link failure with oprofile compiled in.

Add missing tty_set_operations().

In some cases, we're reading the wrong bits for large tags.  This patch corrects
the issue by setting the affected bits forward by an offset of 2 (skipping over
the size portion of the tag).

Must have missed it earlier, but the pci module parameter is not needed.

The irq index is used instead of the dma index when parsing dmas.

This patch adds the "get" command because at this point it is needed
for debugging.

If a device is disabled when initially read, its blank resource data will not
be cleared and the pnp layer will assume incorrectly that the device has
already been configured.  This patch resolves the issue by initializing the
resource table if the device is found to be disabled.

Fixes a trivial typo in an export symbol macro.

This patch resolves the compiler warning caused by the depreciated check_region
function.  It may not be the best solution but check_region really is what is
needed here because we never actually have to call "request_region".  If prefered,
I could alternatively request and release but doing so would be less efficient.
