I previously sent a patch by Mikael Pettersson to fix the UP+preempt
problem.  It seems from your BK repository you have not yet merged it;
if so, this patch takes a different approach which is optimal, removing
the unneeded conditional altogether in the UP case.  I have verified UP
and SMP are now correct.  Patch is against 2.5.4, please apply.

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.

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
