      [PATCH] Initialise devfs_name in various block drivers · 8e62b8a7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru>
      
      Various block drivers are currently devfs-unaware.  Andrey's patch attempts
      to give them reasonable representations in devfs.
      
      
       "The attached patch suggests some possible names for non-floppy devices
        based on reading driver source.  I have to ask if these make sense.  At
        least for cciss Mandrake devfsd patch expects different names but it
        seems to be mistake (it assumes single controller always)
      
       "For floppy it is not as simple.  Floppy cannot use genhd and must
        create names manually; but I do not know what names are appropriate or
        expected.
      
       "For acsi the target/lun name may have problem of creating compat names
        (if any) by devfsd.
      
       "Please note that none of them created any devfs name under 2.4 as well.
         So it is not a regression ..."

      [PATCH] calibrate_tsc() fix and consolidation · ceffc556
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com>
      
      CONFIG_TIMER_CYCLONE doesn't build at present because calibrate_tsc() was
      made static.
      
      The patch fixes that up and moves all calibrate_tsc functions into a common
      file, avoiding the current code duplication.

      Fix a couple of cut-n-paste errors.
      
      (Why on earth is a scsi driver poking at the RTC hardware?)

      [PATCH] Fix modularization of Siemens line discipline · b0882dfe
      Stephen Hemminger authored
      Convert SIEMENS R3964 tty line discipline on 2.6.0-test5 to use tty_ldisc owner
      instead of explicit MOD_INC/DEC.
      
      And fix the initializer to be a much more readable C99 one.

      [PATCH] Get rid of Intermezzo warning · 96822634
      Stephen Hemminger authored
      There is a leftover MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT intermezzo, with no matching _INC_
      anywhere.
      
      Since it sets owner on the file system operations there should be no
      need for explicit module manipulation.

      [CPUFREQ] add cpufreq_update_policy() · 5f27f461
      Dave Jones authored
      Add a new cpufreq_update_policy call:
      
      Certain cpufreq policy notifers have different needs at different times.
      Thus it needs to be possible to re-evaluate an already set cpufreq policy.
      Note that the cpufreq policy should only be set by one person: the user.
      Not any other in-kernel code [with one exception, of course: during
      booting].

      [CPUFREQ] Merge speedstep-smi driver. · e7a4d809
      Dave Jones authored
      From: Hiroshi Miura <miura@da-cha.org>
      
      Intel SpeedStep driver using a BIOS SMI call.
      
      Quoting his original announcement:
      
      "This driver is based on the information from
      
      1. Microsoft Windows XP Document.
      we can get the SMI interface values from ax=E980/int15 BIOS call.
      
      2. Intel SpeedStep Applet Document.(from HP.com)
      http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/evonotebook/us/download/10631.html
      " Adds code to request transition ownership when processing
      the system critical resume message. When a critical hibernate occurs,
      the Applet does not receive any system level notification. The change forces
      the Applet to re-acquire transition ownership upon resume from a critical hibernate. "
      
      This is informative. This saied that  something 'ownership' call is needed on SMI
      interface first.
      
      3. Grover, Andrew's int 15h patch posted to cpufreq ml
      Message-ID: <F760B14C9561B941B89469F59BA3A847E96E28@orsmsx401.jf.intel.com>
      code which call BIOS to get SMI values. I included it.
      
      4. Malik Martin's rev engineering results.
      call is made with BX, CX, EDI register values.
      and need signature 'ISG' when call.
      find function values. bx=1(get) and bx=2(set)
      
      5. Marc Lehmann's 'speedstep' utility,
      sample of assembler code to call SMI.
      
      6. My work.
      find function to return max/min freq which system supportd. (bx=4)
      more values are gotten, but I cannot understand...
      find 'ownership' function value(bx=0, which is other than 1 2 4..).
      
      ToDo(in pregress)
      support governor "auto" and using smi_event call, imprement auto freqchange
      feature.
      test on 440BX/ZX platform.
      
      Memo
       module parameters are override result of an int 15h/eax=E890h call.
       these parameter value are gotten from Windows XP registory."
      
      Also includes some bugfixes, updates and workarounds from me.
      
      NB: A lot of BIOS out there are buggy. You might want to try this driver
      also with Intel's default values -- smi_cmd = 0x82 and smi_port = 0xb2
