Fixed a problem with Index Fields where the index was not incremented
for fields that require multiple writes to the index/data registers
(Fields that are wider than the data register.)

Fixed a problem with all Field objects where a write could go beyond the
end-of-field if the field was larger than the access granularity and
therefore required multiple writes to complete the request.  An extra
write beyond the end of the field could happen inadvertently.

Fixed a problem with Index Fields where a BUFFER_OVERFLOW error would
incorrectly be returned if the width of the Data Register was larger
than the specified field access width.

Completed fixes for LoadTable() and Unload() and verified their
operation.  Implemented full support for the "DdbHandle" object
throughout the ACPI CA subsystem.

Implemented full support for the MADT and ECDT tables in the ACPI CA
header files.  Even though these tables are not directly consumed by
ACPI CA, the header definitions are useful for ACPI device drivers.

Integrated resource descriptor fixes posted to the Linux ACPI list.
This included checks for minimum descriptor length, and support for
trailing NULL strings within descriptors that have optional string
elements.

Fixed a problem where the SMI_CMD register could be written even if it
was not supported on the platform (when FADT.SMI_CMD is zero)

Current match_token recognize "foo=" as "foo=%s". So this change the
nul string does not recognize as "%s".

If original code uses the following,

	opts->value = simple_strtoul(value, &value, 0);
	if (*value)
		return error;

It doesn't recognize negative value. So option format should use "%u".

This is just misc cleanup of fat option.

vfat doesn't recognize the msdos option. Also msdos doesn't recognize
vfat option.

And this separates fat/vfat/msdos option structures. I think this
looks more good as document.

This uses more fine granularity ->d_lock than ->dcache_lock for
->d_parent with d_move() race.

From René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>

there's one call to strncpy() in vfat that really should be a memcpy().
The source, msdos_name, is a space-filled char array, not a
NUL-terminated string.

The rest of the patch eliminates duplicate occurencies of the
CURRENT_TIME macro inside functions. This shrinks vfat.o by a few
bytes.

It seems that we're attempting to work out the free stack size using two
unrelated pointers for the lowest address of the stack.  Fix this to use
the correct pointer.

Remove outdated URLs from the x86-64 Kconfig.

Originally from the trivial patch monkey / Petri Koistinen <petri.koistinen@iki.fi>

Make linux32 ... on x86-64 to do proper uname emulation again.

Also changes i386 to i686 because that's more near the truth.

The zfcp scsi host adapater.

 - Remove read, write and data device pointers from card structure. Use
   ccw group array to get the device pointers.

- Add dummy release function to iucv bus.

Kernel Janitors: remove unnecessary calls to verify_area.

 - Remove dynamic allocation of major numbers. Just use static major 94.
 - Use bus_id instead of device number where possible.
 - Don't check open_count in dasd_generic_set_offline.

 - Remove atomic_read hack to test for presence of ccw device directory.
 - Add dummy release function to channel path object and cu3088 group devices.
 - Don't rely on the chaining bit of the channel report word.
 - Don't call schedule while holding a lock in read_dev_chars/read_conf_data.

 - Makefile fix: default make target builds the kernel image.
 - Add export statement for cpcmd.
 - Add tgkill system call.
 - Reserve system call number for vserver.

- Maintainers email address and copyright messages updated
- Scanning for EISA and ISA controllers disabled due to a resource conflict
  with the Adaptec aic driver
- Switch "probe_eisa_isa" added to give the possibility to enable the
  EISA/ISA scan if required
- Driver version increased to 2.08

idle_cpu had the same botched move from kernel/ksyms.c to kernel/sched.c

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@mail.ru>

Don't set process state to TASK_RUNNING after a schedule_timeout(), since
there's no way we will return from the scheduler if we're not running.

I'm trying to remove all the legacy UART cruft from ia64.  In theory
we should be able to discover all UARTs on ia64 via ACPI and PCI
enumeration, so we shouldn't need SERIAL_PORT_DFNS.

But SERIAL_PORT_DFNS currently does two things:
        1) it tells you about legacy devices you can't discover
           via a standard enumeration method, and
        2) it sizes old_serial_port[], which determines UART_NR,
           which is the maximum number of ports the driver will
           support

So here's a proposal to make SERIAL_PORT_DFNS optional and
provide another mechanism for configuring the number of ports
to support.

Patch from Bjorn Helgaas.

RS_TABLE is defined by lots of architectures, but only referenced
in arch/{mips,ppc}.

This patch removes most of the unused definitions from 2.6.
