Here is the patch against 2.5.4.  I have compiled this patch under
2.5.3, so it should still be OK.

This patch just resyncs the driver with 2.4.18-pre (which is what is
being testd by others).  The only outstanding known problem is some
very strange interaction with VMWARE.  But otherwise people seem
happy with the changes.

Original announcement to Dave Jones and Marcelo:

	Update a couple of email addresses
	Fix the idle handling (this is an improved version of the fix
		that Alan Cox has in his -ac tree)
	Notify user mode of suspend events before drivers (fix)
	Make the idling percentage boot time configurable
	Rename kapm-idled to kapmd

More small updates to come.

forward-ported from 2.4

A recent scheduler change looks to of affected this, and I missed it
since I did my last testing on SMP only.  Please, apply.

Linus,

The attached patch adds a Documentation/preempt-locking.txt file which
describes the new locking rules wrt preemptive kernels (ie, watch
per-CPU data, etc).  It also updates a CREDITS entry and adds some
comments.

Patch is against 2.5.4-pre5, please apply.

Another lseek fix, spotted by Dave Hansen @ IBM.  Missing a
corresponding lock_kernel for an unlock_kernel.  Patch against
2.5.4-pre5, please apply.  Thanks,

	Patch converts a bunch of places that hadn't been caught when
->s_id was introduced.  Please, apply.

	affs digs in blk_size[] to find the size of device (it
has its analog of superblock living in the middle of disk).  That
information is available in ->s_bdev->bd_inode->i_size - no need
to mess with major/minor/arrays to get it.

	/proc/modules switched to use of seq_file, cleaned up.

	Straightforward rewrite to seq_file.

	Please, apply.  Otherwise we eat quota like there's no tomorrow ;-/

It compiles in -pre5 but doesn't work unless you also apply the patch
below. Without this patch, bus_id will be empty which makes
device_register fail.

There are a couple of errors in the DMA changes to the
aha1542.c driver that appeared in 2.5.4pre3:

- a typo (BUF vs BUS)
- a macro handed a page instead of a scatterlist
- printk format length mismatch
