This should ensure it doesn't ordinarily break the builds, but will error out if the
builder requests it to.

Brings 2.6.x version of osst up to par with the 2.4.y version.
Except for the /proc changes
Tested against released 2.6.0 kernel.

Changes from what's in the kernel tree today:

- Fixes bug that files shorter than one 32K frame don't get written.
- Fix a memory alloc/free mismatch that could have made your kernel unstable after rmmod osst.
- Fix a number of tape (re)positioning bugs around filemarks that affected Amanda, Arkeia and
  Storix backup software.
- Rationalize module parameters.
- Fix time-out skipping to EOD
- Write FM+EOD+Header-update when file write terminated by ioctl
- Follow standard Unix behavior for read at EOD (return zero bytes read twice then error)
- Implement SETBLK ioctl (allowed before first write only)

This patch adds support for cdevs to the st driver. The changes are based on
Doug Gilbert's corresponding changes to the sg driver. Using cdevs brings the
following advantanges:
- support for many drives, currently the maximum is set to 128; the minor
  number assignment is explained in the patch to Documentation/scsi/README.st
- the tape devices appear in /sys/cdev/major/st*, as an example here are
  the entries for the first drive (4 modes, rewind and non-rewind
  devices):
  /sys/cdev/major/st0m0   /sys/cdev/major/st0m1   /sys/cdev/major/st0m2
  /sys/cdev/major/st0m3
  /sys/cdev/major/st0m0n  /sys/cdev/major/st0m1n  /sys/cdev/major/st0m2n

Here is a patch for the lm83 driver, to be applied on top of your
pending patches stack. What it does:
* Remove limit initialisation by the driver. This is a backport from
  CVS.
* A few whitespace changes inspired by my recent porting of the lm90
  driver.

This patch replaces "K9000" with "K8000" everywhere (5 occurences) since
it seems that the "K9000" was a typo in the first place. It also rewords
the i2c-velleman doc. I have fixed it in our CVS repository too, and
have been sending a similar patch to Marcelo for Linux 2.4.

The following patch fixes incorrect dependencies (as far as I can see)
for the SCx200 modules. A similar patch (with even more fixes) is also
needed for Linux 2.4, and will be part of my next wave to Marcelo. Note
that I don't have the necessary hardware to actually test anything, but
a quick look at the code doesn't leave much place for doubt IMHO.

This patch drops bus scan from i2c-algo-ite and i2c-ibm_iic. It also
removes the incomplete and broken SLO_IO stuff from i2c-algo-ite.

Highlights:

 - Switch to generic ioctl32 handling
 - Use the new *_defconfig mechanism
 - Use drivers/Kconfig
 - Big signal cleanups and support for restartable syscalls

The attached patch adds support for suspend/resume to the sis900 driver.
With this patch on resume the NIC is fully configured and operational,
before a module reload was needed because of the complete lack of
suspend/resume callbacks.

I added two functions, sis900_suspend and sis900_resume, with their
pointers in struct pci_driver. A vector of 16 u32 was then needed to the
to keep PCI data during suspend. I added it in struct sis900_private.
I updated the revision number to reflect my changes. 
Looking at the code I also killed three typos.

The patch doesn't touch any other code.

Since I don't know anything on ethernet drivers the rule 'works for me'
is fully valid.

The dm table size is always known in advance, so we can specify it in

When we register disks, we mangle the disk names that contain slashes (e.g.
cciss/c0d0) replacing them with '!' in corresponding sysfs names.  So
name_to_dev_t() should mangle the name in the same way before looking for it
in /sys/block.

Entirely revised, and largely rewritten.  Has a continuing example now, which

further deprecates rwlock_t, shuffles sections for better organization.

I've seen this patch floating around.  Not sure the origin, but it's 
surfaced on lkml and also when I was poking around handhelds.org CVS for
iPAQ patches:  on non-PCs, particularly system-on-chip devices but not
just there, you have a custom "platform bus" that is the root of pretty 
much all other devices and buses.

It's something I wanted to make sure people didn't forget; to make sure 
the legacy_bus didn't get "legacied out of existence."  ;-)

I believe I have identified a failure mode that Linus saw a couple weeks
back when tracking down some other fork/exit sorts of races.  We saw this
come up on rare occasions with the RHEL3 kernel's backport of the new code
(while trying to track down other race failure modes we have yet to fix, sigh).

I am talking about the following scenario:

What happens here is a race between an exiting thread checking
mm->core_waiters in __exit_mm, and the thread taking the core-dump signal
(in coredump_wait) examining the first thread's ->mm pointer and
incrementing mm->core_waiters to account for it.  There is no
synchronization at all in __exit_mm's use of mm->core_waiters.  If the
coredump_wait thread reads tsk->mm when tsk is in __exit_mm between
checking mm->core_waiters and clearing tsk->mm, then it will increment
mm->core_waiters and the total count will later exceed the number of
threads that will ever decrement it and synchronize.  Hence it blocks forever.

The following patch fixes the problem by using mm->mmap_sem in __exit_mm.
The read lock must be held around checking mm->core_waiters and clearing
tsk->mm so that coredump_wait (which gets the write lock) cannot come in
between and do bogus bookkeeping.
