James, your sim710 changes look nice, but I think there's some more
stuff to do in this driver.  I've started with the following (all
untested due to lack of the hardware):

  - move to scsi_add_host/scsi_remove_host interface
  - remove a bunch of unneeded ifdefs
  - add missing statics
  - unregister driver templates on unload

and I think there's more that should be done, but this would change
user-visiable attributes:

  - remove the ugly single module option code and the command line
    parsing in favour of Rusty's new module_param stuff
  - split the driver into two drivers: 53c700_eisa and 53c700_mca.
    There's no logic shared between those two busses, just a little
    bit of helper in the setup/remove code

And after looking a this driver I have some rants about the new
mac/eisa code:

  - mca_register_driver/mca_unregister_driver should check for
    the precense of an MCA bus by themselves instead of leaving
    it to the caller
  - eisa_driver_register should really return 0 for sucess
  - mca_register_driver/mca_unregister_driver should be named
    mca_driver_register/mca_driver_unregister to be more similar
    to the other *driver_(un)registers.

Fix cmd->lun to cmd->device->lun

Most of the instances of <module>.o in Kconfig files have had the ".o"
extension trimmed.  This change came from GertJan Spoelman through Rusty
"Trivial" Russell.

However, there are a few files that didn't get trimmed.  This brings
them line with the rest of the tree.

so that there isn't any window for running before the signal
handler has been invoced.

from certain states.

This simplifies "default_wake_function()", and makes it possible for
signal handling to wake up only the processes it _should_ wake up
without races.

  OK, here is a new patch, I edited the old patch and took out the .ko's
  so now the extension is trimmed instead.

  On 64-bit platforms, issuing write(2) with buffer larger than
  2GB will return -1 and broken errno (such as 2147483640)
  Requested data itself is written correctly.

  That is because generic_file_write() and other relating functions
  store 'ssize_t written' into 'int err'. Written byte is trimmed to
  int and then sign-extended to a negative ssize_t value, which
  wrongly indicates an error.

  (On 64bit platform, current glibc defines SSIZE_MAX as 'LONG_MAX')

  Summary: Wildcards in RTC alarm settings failed to work

  Description:
   The RTC has provision for wildcards when setting the alarm; to
   use them you have to write a value higher than 0xc0 to the
   appropriate hr/min/sec entry.  The driver used 0xff, which is
   fine, but it mistakenly fed the 0xff through BIN_TO_BCD before
   writing them (which is < 0xc0) and so wildcards didn't work.
   (Thanks to Gerhard Kurz for reporting the bug.)

  parport_pc_pnp_driver is const if !CONFIG_PNP, while pnp_register_driver()
  takes a non-const pointer as parameter.

  An alternative fix is to change the prototype of the dummy
  pnp_register_driver(), but this may affect other drivers.

Interestingly, nobody much seems to care. Apparently few programs
check the error value.

them do want to temporarily block signals.

Kernel users can also block signals that are normally unblockable
to user space, ie SIGKILL and SIGSTOP.

Make nfsd and autofs use the new interface, as an example to others. 

Do not crash on null pointer dereference, if cannot reread superblock.
