We were missing the sched_balance_exec call.  Could explain some NUMA
scheduling weirdness we were seeing.

This is purely a doc patch saying RAID-6 support is available in
mdadm-1.5.0 and the patch is no longer necessary.

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>

As expected, when it hit mainline I started getting real bug reports... 
the attached patch does the following:

- Fixes a few x86-64 specific bugs;

- Removes MMX and SSE-1 from x86-64 (if we have x86-64 we have SSE-2);

- Slightly astracts the integer code to make it easier to add
  architecture-specific optimizations later (e.g.  IA64 once gcc gets
  better IA64 intrinsics support);

- Resurrects the user-space testbench, and makes it not output the known
  false positive of the D+Q case (D+Q is equivalent to a RAID-5 recovery,
  so I didn't implement it in the user-space testbench.)

RFC 2461 requires that the source address of Neighbor Discovery messages
is an address assigned to the sending interface.

Duplicate Address Detection should also be interface specific. We don't,
for example, want a node to DoS itself just because it has two interfaces
on the same link and both happen to listen to the same multicast group. If
there is a true duplicate on the link, the interface doing DAD will notice
it anyway.

The attached patch adds a 'strict' parameter to ip6_chk_addr() and
ip6_get_ifaddr() to allow link-local protocols like ND and DAD to do
strict address checks even on addresses with greater scope than
link-local.

And as more proof that Paul is leaving us ppc32 folks, *sniff*, the
following is needed for PPC32 to compile:

Here's a novel idea, check the CPU has machine check capabilities
before we start polling registers.

I was wondering why my VIA C3 was starting this.  Who knows it may solve
some of the random crashes I saw there.

The new sort_extable and shared search_extable code doesn't work on ia64.
I have introduced two new #defines that archs can define to avoid the
common code being built.  ARCH_HAS_SEARCH_EXTABLE and
ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE.

Eliminate the printing of the cache token if present: using cpp
conditionals inside macro expansions is not legal and some gcc's fail it.

From: Steve Dickson <SteveD@redhat.com>

Here is a patch for the 2.6.1 kernel that fixes an oops that occurs when
the sunrpc module is unloaded.

The problem was the RPC cache_register() call was not saving entry pointers
to the procfs entries it was creating.  So when it came time to dismantle
the entires, a BUG_ON() was tripped in remove_proc_entry() since the tree
was not broken down completely.

A patch which fixes a problem that i_blocks are not updated for quota files

fs/reiserfs/journal.c:cleanup_bitmap_list() can be called to cleanup
reiserfs_list_bitmap that was only partly initialized. Check that
jb->bitmaps array was actually allocated, before trying to free its
elements.

The exception table search code currently fails if addresses differ by more
than 2G.  This is only a problem when using the 4g/4g address space split,
but it's more robust this way.

Also, shuffle the comparison order n there so the least likely case comes
last.

Journalled-data files need a different set of address_space_operations, so
we need to update the file's aops when someone runs `chattr +j' on the
file.

This patch changes no code, just swaps macro arg names to match reality.
