	ntfs_fill_super() and ntfs_read_inode_mount() cleaned up.  Removed
the kludges around the first iget() on NTFS.  Instead of playing with
(re)setting ->s_op we have the MFT_FILE inode set up by explicit new_inode()/
set ->i_ino/insert_inode_hash()/call ntfs_read_inode_mount() directly.
That kills the need of second super_operations and it allows to return
error from ntfs_read_inode_mount() without resorting to ugly "poisoning"
tricks.

From: "Andrew Vasquez" <andrew.vasquez@qlogic.com>

Ok, well there aren't too many folks using an QLA2100 in a fabric
topology, if there were, they wouldn't have gotten very far in the
driver load sequence.  I've been able to scrape-up a QLA2100, 1Gig
switch, and an JBOD.  Upon loading the 8.00.00b12k driver, the
firmware successfully logs into the switch, the driver receives a
LOOP_UP event, but, the kernel panics due to NULL pointer dereference
while trying to perform an RFT_ID  -- the attached patch against
current scsi-misc-2.6 fixes that problem.

The patch to close all the open/close/hotplug races in sr left the
module refcounting broken so that the ULD housing the CD device now
can't be removed until the device itself is removed.

This patch (structurally identical to the one for sd.c to perform the
same function) fixes the module refcounting.

This fixes a situation where the handler can exit too early.

one of the macros for get_thread_area extracts the wrong bit.  The
"32bit" field is in bit 22, not 23 (as can be seen in desc.h).

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>

Set up SMT for the domain scheduler on x86-64.  This way the scheduling
works better on HyperThreading aware systems; in particular it will use
both physical CPUs before sharing two virtual CPUs on the same package. 
This improves performance considerably in some cases.

Based on the i386 code and a previous patch from Suresh B. Siddha.

Convert sibling map on x86-64 to cpumasks.

This is needed for the SMT patches.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

PowerPC64 ABI has ".funcname" (the actual function) and "funcname" (the
function descriptor) and we strip off the dots in "dedotify" called from
module_frob_arch_sections().  We need to also de-dotify the corresponding
names in the __version section.

Actually has nothing to do with __down, it's just that we only print the
first symbol whose version is missing.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

It turns out that we are not handling the TABDLY bits of the termios
c_oflag field correctly on PPC, PPC64 and Alpha.  These three architectures
have a value for XTABS that is different from the TAB3 value.  POSIX
specifies that setting the TABDLY field to TAB3 should result in tabs being
expanded to spaces.  In n_tty.c:opost() we check for O_TABDLY(tty) ==
XTABS, which is fine on most architectures because they have XTABS == TAB3.

I think the right thing to do is just to change the definition of XTABS to
be the same as TAB3 on these architectures.  The patch below does this for
PPC and PPC64 (and I suggest the Alpha maintainer should do the same).  At
the moment, applications using either the XTABS or TAB3 values won't get
the expected behaviour.  With this patch, apps that use TAB3 will get the
expected behaviour.  Apps that use XTABS will need to be recompiled (but
note that the POSIX-specified name to use is TAB3 not XTABS).

    I would just like to say that I have no difficulties with intermezzo
    being rm -rf'd.  There are probably only a handful of users.  

    In the past 4 years nobody has supported InterMezzo sufficiently for
    it to become successful.  I have been fortunate to get really good support
    for the Lustre project.  So I have focussed on that.  Lustre 1.X has
    become really solid.

    The disconnected operation, caching and mirroring functionality of
    InterMezzo will become available in Lustre as a new feature in version 2. 

     So I see no point in keeping InterMezzo if it is a nuisance. 


The patch removes the references to intermezzo.  Please do a `bk rm' of
fs/intermezzo.

fbcon needs this symbol.

We may as well make usermodehelper_init() core_initcall as well, to make
sure its services are avaialble to all the other initcall levels.

We need to register the binfmts earlier, so normal initcalls can successfully
run call_usermodehelper() to execute things.

Minor tweak to rcu, use __list_splice instead of list_splice because the

->open already has a reference so use __module_get.  The file has no
maintainer noted in it, all credits are from the driver it's copied from.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

mtd driver need to get another reference if ->probe succeeds (strange design
if you ask me, but what the heck..), and while most drivers have been switched
to __module_get already two are still missing.

A bunch of framebuffer drivers use MOD_INC_USE_COUNT to prevent themselves
from unloading completely - but we have a much easier way to do so, that is
simply removing the module_exit/cleanup_module handler.

Driver already sets fops->owner so the open/close methods are entirely
superflous.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Callers are exported register/unregister handlers so the module is locked in
core by users of said exports.
