Stephane made some measurements on the access-pattern of the cpuinfo_ia64
members and based on those results, this patch reorganizes the structure
for better cache-line sharing.

sata_sil:  it's a widely deployed chipset.  Now that we've fixed it, let
users use it.

sata_via:  Disk detection via SATA phy registers appear problematic. 
Until that problem is identified and fixed, used the old PATA detection 
code -- that was used in 2.6.4 -- instead.

I'd assumed that vcs_remove_devfs() could not possibly take console_sem(). 
Seems I was wrong.

x86-64 needs this (obvious) patch, due to the rename.

We can't build floppy.o on ia64, so why bother asking?

Currently SCSI cdroms show up in /proc/partitions in 2.6, they didn't in
2.4.  And ATAPI cdroms don't show up either.  Mark both as genhd removable
for now, when they are partionable this can be updated.

If the drive doesn't support GPCMD_READ_DISC_INFO at all, permit writeable
opens.

Spotted by Jorn Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de>: both the generic and
fs-specific parts of the inode have an i_flags.  find_group_orlov() is using
the wrong one.

strncpy() may not null-terminate the destination.

A smt_snooze_delay of 0 is supposed to mean "disabled", but current idle
loop logic doesn't take that into account and snoozes immediately instead.

Below patch fixes the logic in the idle loop, as well as cleans up the test
a bit.  An idling processor might no longer see a snooze change
immediately, but that's not needed anyway.

With 2.6.4 we now have the glorious hidden d_type passing in getdents.

glibc CVS expects this to be passed if we have a kernel version after
2.6.4, so we have to also handle it in the 32bit syscall converter.

From Dave Miller:

We weren't handling a NULL 'type' argument to mount() properly,
f.e. this happens legitimately when changing the options of an
existing mount.

I stupidly used the global jfs_log_sem to protect log->sb_list when
implementing the shared journal stuff.  Since we already hold
LOG_LOCK, it makes more sense to use that to protect log->sb_list.
This caused horrible serialization when running on lots of jfs
volumes.

Remove the hold_metapage call from txLog to prevent a hang.
While investigating this one, I audited all functions that held
metapage locks and found several error paths that did not release
them correctly.  These are fixed as well.

I tried to build usb/gadget/file_storage.c (CONFIG_USB_FILE_STORAGE=y),
but it uses "handle_exception()" for its own purposes, which conflicts
with the ia64 definition.  ia64 only uses handle_exception() within
arch code, so it seems like we ought to rename it to be ia64-specific.
done_with_exception() looks similar, so I renamed it as well, although
there's no actual conflict.

The patch below fixes issue with 'tc class show dev <dev>' not showing any
classes when TBF qdisc is present in the chain. PLease consider for
inclusion.

Brett E. <brettspamacct@fastclick.com> noticed the missing service lock
for editing dest.

Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> provided the patch.

This fixes a bug in the swapcontext system call on ppc32.

On ppc32, the system call entry only saves the volatile registers,
except in the case of a few system calls (e.g.  fork) which need all the
registers saved.  Swapcontext needs all the registers but we weren't
saving them all. So fixes that.

At the moment, ppc32 kernels will oops if a threaded program tries to
dump core.  We call dump_fpu with a NULL regs pointer, which it tries
to dereference.

This fixes the issue by implementing the hooks used in doing threaded
core dumps properly.

This important fix checks the SAl *revision* rather than
the *version*.  I carefully documented which was which, then used the
wrong one.

This fixes the display of the boot messages on the BMAC driver (pmac
only).  It used to be messed up in 2.6

In the long story of "BenH can't get a simple fix right the first time",
please add this one to pmac_zilog, and now people should enjoy really
working sleep again on pmac laptops ...

If the serial port was closed, we could use an uninitialized "pwr_delay"
and pass that to schedule_timeout().

This patch against 2.6.5-rc2 affects the SGI/SN platform only. It deprecates
a kernel daemon for our interconnect traffic statistics which has been
replaced by a userland tool.

Mainly cosmetic, but Bjorn noticed I got a little over zealous in
cleaning out the sx1000 specific init routines in sba_iommu.  This adds
back in the ID->name mapping so it doesn't show up as "Unknown".

Bjorn pointed out that the sn console driver will spew printks if
compiled in even if no hardware is present.  In addition to fixing
that, I took the opportunity to cleanup/correct a few other printks in
that driver.

sn_oemdata_* variables must only be used under the sn_oemdata_mutex.
