parse_interface allocates the incorrect storage size for additional
altsettings (new buffer) leading to a BUG being triggered in
mm/slab.c:1453 when we do the memcpy from the old buffer to the new
buffer (writing beyond new buffer).
Patch appended, tested with an OV511 on an Intel PIIX4

 - removed a few #ifdefs in the main code
 - cleaned up the failure logic in initialization.

sending routines don't set it up.

from "write()" is an error condition, and hang retrying.

Return EINVAL in sysfs instead.

These security_ops are declared like

        int (*inode_mknod) (struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry,
                            int mode, dev_t dev);

with a mode and a dev_t argument.

But the users mistakenly had major, minor instead of mode, dev.

Given Andi Kleen's patch that introduces of VFS-level support for
nanosecond time resolutions, we should finally be able to export the
existing NFS client level support to userland.

In order to do so, the following patch will convert all NFS private 'raw
u64' values into the kernel-supported struct timespec directly in the
xdr_encode/xdr_decode routines.

It adds support for the nanosecond field in NFS 'setattr' calls, and in
nfs_refresh_inode().

Finally, there are a few cleanups in the nfs_refresh_inode code that
convert multiple use of the NFS_*(inode) macros into a single
dereference of NFS_I(inode).

Since I believe kallsyms is important, this reimplements it sanely,
using the current module infrastructure, and not using an external
kallsyms script.

FYI, the previous interface was:

int kallsyms_symbol_to_address(
	const char       *name,			/* Name to lookup */
	unsigned long    *token,		/* Which module to start with */
	const char      **mod_name,		/* Set to module name or "kernel" */
	unsigned long    *mod_start,		/* Set to start address of module */
	unsigned long    *mod_end,		/* Set to end address of module */
	const char      **sec_name,		/* Set to section name */
	unsigned long    *sec_start,		/* Set to start address of section */
	unsigned long    *sec_end,		/* Set to end address of section */
	const char      **sym_name,		/* Set to full symbol name */
	unsigned long    *sym_start,		/* Set to start address of symbol */
	unsigned long    *sym_end		/* Set to end address of symbol */
	);

The new one is:
/* Lookup an address.  modname is set to NULL if it's in the kernel. */
const char *kallsyms_lookup(unsigned long addr,
			    unsigned long *symbolsize,
			    unsigned long *offset,
			    char **modname);

drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c in 2.5.48 fails to compile with the
following error:

drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c:842: dereferencing pointer to incompletetype

Is the following patch correct?

This patch puts all the code to interpret the result code from an URB into
a single place, instead of copying it everywhere throughout transport.c

This patch changes freecom.c and isd200.c to use the new data-moving logic
instead of the old data-moving logic.  This allows for code consolidation
and better error-handling.

This patch changes the data buffer type from char* to void*, and fixes some
problems with debug prints and comments.

fixed a bug if CONFIG_VIDEO_PROC_FS was not enabled.
removed unneeded #ifdefs
removed bool nonsense.

Included in this patch:

- (From John Tyner) Move allocation of memory out of send_control_msg. With
the allocation moved to open, control messages are less expensive since
they don't allocate and free memory every time.
- (From John Tyner) Change the behaviour of send_control_msg to return 0 on
success instead of the number of bytes transferred.
- Clean up of a couple down_interruptible() calls that weren't checking for
failure
- Rewrite of proc fs entries to use one file per value instead of parsing
in the kernel

- Implement policy timeouts.
- Make PF_KEY return proper error from KM acquire.
