Seperates msdos_sb_info from struct super_block for msdos and vfat. Umsdos is terminally broken and is not included.

NR_IRQS should be 16 when the IO apic is not configured, as the 8259 PIC cannot generate any more interrupts. It also fixes a bug where the IDT gets populated with random addresses, since only 16 entry stubs are created.

This changes the F00F bug workaround code to use the fixmap facilities instead of touching the page tables directly. It also removes the assumption that only 686's don't have the bug. I have confirmation that the patch works on buggy pentiums.

In case if proc_pid_make_inode() steps on exiting task we do iput() and return NULL. Unfortunately, in that case inode->i_ino doesn't look like inumber of a per-process inode and we take the wrong path in proc_delete_inode(). I.e. do dput(PDE(inode)). Which is left uninitialized... We used to get out with that almost by accident - that code worked only because we had zeroed out one field of union and that guaranteed that another field would be NULL. It worked, but broke at the first occasion.

* introduces a new filesystem - nfsd. No, it's not a typo. It's a small tree with fixed topology defined by nfsd and IO on its files does what we used to do by hand in nfsctl.c. * turns sys_nfsservctl() into a sequence of open()/write()/read()/close() It works as it used to - we don't need nfsd to be mounted anywhere, etc. * nfsd_linkage ugliness is gone. * getfs and getfh demonstrate (rather trivial) example of "descriptor as transaction descriptor" behaviour. * we are fairly close to the situation when driver-defined filesystems can be done with practically zero code overhead. We are still not there, but it's a matter of adding a couple of helpers for populating the tree. One thing we get immediately is a cleanup of sys_nfsservctl() - it got _much_ better. Moreover, we get an alternative interface that uses normal file IO and can be used without magic syscalls.

Several exits in exp_export() forget to call path_release(). Fixed.

Linus, I've taken a bunch of common methods into fs/libfs.c and killed the (duplicated) instances in filesystems. There will be more - ideally I'd like to get a library that would make writing small filesystems trivial.

As mentioned on May 11 on LKML, here is a patch to fix /proc/kcore for architectures which do not have RAM located at physical address 0.

The following patch removes Alt-Sysrq-L and its associated hack to kill of PID1, the init process. This is a mis-feature. If PID1 is killed, the kernel immediately enters an infinite loop in the depths of do_exit() with interrupts disabled, completely locking the machine. Obviously you can only reach for the reset button or power switch after this, leaving you with dirty filesystems.

There is a problem where the resource flags sometimes contain bits from the address part of the PCI BAR, especially when you have the low address bit set for an IO BAR. (bit 3 of a PCI IO BAR is an address bit, and (bar & 0xf) propagates this to res->flags). This exists in Ivan Kokshaysky PCI patches, and so far hasn't made it into the kernel. It's required for IDE on certain ARM machines to even work.

This patch actually fixes the starvation bug in sys_wait4() by moving any process which is serviced for stoppage to the end of the child list.

This patch (#1) just converts the task_struct to use struct list_head rather than direct pointers for maintaining the children list.
