We can't refer to PCI functions for a pure
EISA machine.

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

This is because aic7xxx does not unregister itself properly if no devices
are found.  This patch fixes the problem.

This patch changes the st console/log messages:

- __GFP_NOWARN added to buffer allocation to suppress useless messages
  when having to use smaller than default segments
- move log message from enlarge_buffer() to caller so that the tape name
  can be printed and remove some debugging messages; now the st messages
  should include drive name where applicable (a problem reported by
  Hironobu Ishii)
- setting options is logged only when debugging; the most important
  options are now seen in sysfs

- always set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUBTIBLE) unless we explicitly
  check for signals.

- make all timeouts take HZ based values.

this patch kills qlogic_core.c and I guess the same idea can be
applied to other pcmcia scsi drivers. comments?

	this patch kills irq probe and also I/O because isn't useful to
	probe I/O if we can't probe irq later.

If a filesystem's ->writepage implementation repeatedly refuses to write the
page (it keeps on redirtying it instead) (reiserfs seems to do this) then the
writeback logic can get stuck repeately trying to write the same page.

Fix that up by correctly setting wbc->pages_skipped, to tell the writeback
logic that things aren't working out.

Since symlink.c uses "name" field of a kobj when it calculates the
length,  it gets a wrong value if the kobj's name  has more than 20
charathers.  A correct way to do that is to call kobject_name(kobj)
instead of using kobj->name directly.

this patch (2.4 & 2.6) fixes a bug about the timeout value. The formula
used to calculate jiffies from timeout is wrong.
The new formula is ok and takes care of integer computation/rounding.
There is the same bug in the tiglusb.c module which will be fixed by another
patch.

Handle some PL-2301/2302 devices better.

I just checked out the latest 2.6.6-rc1-mm1 to see that the ID patch for
ftdi has applied cleanly, but apparently someone was faster and in the
combined ID table our ID's were missing.
Most probably the patch program got confused and applied the hung at wrong
spot..

Attached is a patch that places that 2 lines in the correct spot.

Hi,

this patch (cumulative; 2.4 & 2.6) fixes another bug in the tiglusb
driver. The formula used to calculate jiffies from timeout is wrong.
The new formula is ok and takes care of integer computation/rounding.
This is the same kind of bug than in the tipar char driver.

Warnings aren't terribly important in and of themselves, but there
isn't really much the warning tells us to do here, so it would appear
that caving in to the compiler is the thing to do for now.

Various build fixes:  64bit (Andrew Morton), static linking,
broken on big-endian, etc.

Tighten up the integration with the main "ether" driver, so
state transitions and host ethernet addresses are shared too.
Add missing spinlock calls around RNDIS command outcall,
fix GET_INTERFACE issue, host mustn't clobber netdev flags.

Minor code cleanups.

Cope better when PCI misbehaves badly and registers misbehave:

    - terminate some loops before they get to infinity
       * capability scan
       * port reset
    - after init failure, memory may already be cleaned up

Some systems have been reporting such problems after ACPI resume.

This replaces current_thread_info()->cpu in i386' init_IRQ() by the
equivalent smp_processor_id().

Reduces overhead on UP, and makes the code cleaner.

This simplifies the Pentium M quirk code in nmi.c, and eliminates an
unnecessary apic_read().

Local APIC accesses are not zero-cycle; let's not inflict more damage
than we must.

We need some alignement of those structs for proper operations especially
with FP and Altivec, or SLAB_DEBUG can break us.

This patch just adds some proc entries for the virtual tape and cdrom
drivers to allow mapping between linux devices and OS/400 ones.  This is
expected by existing users and there is no other way to do this
translation.

Unregister svcauth_gss caches on exit from gss module; fixes an oops on

Without this the task struct gets unaligned when using SLAB_DEBUG, causing
random problems with FP and Altivec.

The patch below from Michael E.  Brown properly sets the owner field of a
sysfs attribute.  Without this patch, it is possible to crash the kernel with
a simultaneous insmod/rmmod while reading files exported by the module.
