This fixes bad interaction between devfs and swsusp.

Check whether the swap device is the specified resume device, irrespective of
whether they are specified by identical names.

(Thus, device inode aliasing is allowed.  You can say /dev/hda4 instead of
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 [if using devfs] and they'll be
considered the same device.  This is *necessary* for devfs, since the resume
code can only recognize the form /dev/hda4, but the suspend code would like
the long name [as shown in 'cat /proc/mounts'].)

[Thanks to devfs hero whose name I forgot.]

This is no longer neccessary.  We have enough pauses elsewhere, and it works
well enough that this is not needed.

It doesn't always look safe to let ->waiting remain set when returning from
functions that set it to point to stack area, since various locations check
for != NULL to see if it's valid.  So clear it on return from
ide_do_drive_cmd() and blk_execute_rq().

Below is a patch that tries to sanitize the dropping of unneeded system-call
stubs in generic code.  In some instances, it would be possible to move the
optional system-call stubs into a library routine which would avoid the need
for #ifdefs, but in many cases, doing so would require making several
functions global (and possibly exporting additional data-structures in
header-files).  Furthermore, it would inhibit (automatic) inlining in the
cases in the cases where the stubs are needed.  For these reasons, the patch
keeps the #ifdef-approach.

This has been tested on ia64 and there were no objections from the
arch-maintainers (and one positive response).  The patch should be safe but
arch-maintainers may want to take a second look to see if some __ARCH_WANT_foo
macros should be removed for their architecture (I'm quite sure that's the
case, but I wanted to play it safe and only preserved the status-quo in that
regard).

This fixes the bugs that where in mode switch via stty.

The problem was we couldn't set the mode just by using the x and y
resolution.  We use modedb to fill in the rest.  There also was a bug that
allowed you to change the console resolution for drivers with fixed
resolutions.  This would mess up your display.  Now that is fixed.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

sys_sendfile has a hardcoded 2GB limit.  64bit architectures should
probably always use sys_sendfile64() in their native system tables, because
for them sizeof(off_t) == sizeof(loff_t).  This patch does this.  It seemed
easier to just change the 64bit entry tables instead of fixing up all the
emulation layers to do 2GB checks on their own.

I changed all 64bit architectures except for parisc64, which seemed to
already have a sendfile64.

Patch from Tony Lindgren

This patch makes the low level debug functions work when support is
compiled in for multiple OMAPs. The patch also removes now unnecessary
include, incorrect comment, and SERIAL_REG_SHIFT ifdefs.

Since the iWMMXt patch (#1866/1) requires more time to be reviewed,
this patch will allow merging Mainstone patches without breaking
anything if iWMMXt support isn't merged yet.
Should be applied after patch #1867/1.

This re-applies the separation of the ramdisk blockdev inode
backing store and the files that live in the ramdisk.

Cset exclude: torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org|ChangeSet|20040521210025|21437

Sigh.  ramdisk almost works, except it loses data on umount.

This is because the files which are atop the ramdisk do not contribute to
dirty memory accounting, but they do need writeback.  So when sync() calls
sync_inodes_sb() to do the work, sync_inodes_sb() hopelessly underestimates
the number of pages which need writeback for a complete sync.

If you run `sync' enough times, everything eventually hits "disk" and all is
happy.

The root cause here is that the ramdisk and the files which it hosts shared
the same backing_dev_info.  This is inappropriate because the hosted files
*do* want to writeback and really should contribute to dirty memory
accounting. But the ramdisk inode itself wants neither.

So.  The patch sets up the infrastructure which permits a blockdev to provide
a separate backing_dev_info for the files which it hosts.  It's a bit of a
ramdisk-special.

doing a mod_timer on a live state without holding a lock or for that
matter not even checking whether the state is dead is definitely a bad
idea

Right now we ignore it, but we need to pass this down
to the low-level filesystems if we want to ever make
knfsd create symlinks with different permissions correctly.
