The dvb-ttpci/av7110 driver needs the firmware_class stuff to work now.

IMHO the appropriate fix is to let the driver automatically select the
firmware loader via Kconfig's SELECT facility.

The dvb-ttusb-dec driver should behave like this, too.  (It currently
depends on the FW_LOADER, which is not "the right thing" (tm))

The "make rpm" rule in top Makefile isn't aware of the enviorment ARCH.  For
example, people issue "make ARCH=ia64" to compile the ia64 kernel on i386
platform for cross compilation.  This works pretty well now.  But if one uses
"make rpm ARCH=ia64", it will fail.  Because current rpm rule in Makefile and
mkspec are not aware of ARCH.

The attached patch adds support for suspend/resume to the sis900 driver.
With this patch on resume the NIC is fully configured and operational,
before a module reload was needed because of the complete lack of
suspend/resume callbacks.

I added two functions, sis900_suspend and sis900_resume, with their
pointers in struct pci_driver. A vector of 16 u32 was then needed to the
to keep PCI data during suspend. I added it in struct sis900_private.
I updated the revision number to reflect my changes. 
Looking at the code I also killed three typos.

The patch doesn't touch any other code.

Since I don't know anything on ethernet drivers the rule 'works for me'
is fully valid.

When we register disks, we mangle the disk names that contain slashes (e.g.
cciss/c0d0) replacing them with '!' in corresponding sysfs names.  So
name_to_dev_t() should mangle the name in the same way before looking for it
in /sys/block.
