This switches linux/zlib.h to include zconf.h as <linux/zconf.h> instead of
just "zconf.h".

printing Sparc IRQ.

Generic BUS objects have to be registered before
devices assosciated with them are probed.  Therefore
subsys_initcall is inappropriate for such setups.
It does not work to use core_initcall for this because
the generic device layer bits need to be setup first too.
So we rename unused_initcall to postcore_initcall and use
this new initcall level for generic BUS object init.
This fixes bootup on Alpha, and Sparc64.  X86 was working
by what looks to be luck in link order.

HAVE_ARCH_SIGINFO_T platforms.

The following patch cleans up the i386 usage of <linux/init.h>.
This remove <linux/init.h> from <asm-i386/system.h> which did not need
it, <asm-i386/highmem.h> which only had it due to an extern using
__init, which is not needed.

This adds <linux/init.h> to <asm-i386/bugs.h> which actually has
numerous __init functions and adds <linux/init.h> to 9 files inside of
arch/i386 which were indirectly including <linux/init.h> previously.

When trying to build mpage.c for ARM, I get errors from bio.h since kdev_t
isn't defined.  The following fixes this.

(I fail to see how this can build for anyone as it currently stands; its
probably something x86 specific buried in the asm-i386 includes.)

Another simple part of a Matthew Wilcox patch.

We do not need to pass the file descriptor to the fcntl_[sg]etlk
functions, only the struct file * which we have already got
from the file descriptor and verified.

Trivial part of a patch by Matthew Wilcox

A few cases of list_del(x) + INIT_LIST_HEAD(x) crept in recently which
can be replaced with list_del_init(x).

 - Work a bit on the automatic CRC error recovery handling. System still hangs.
   But one thing for sure - we don't have to use any specialized irq handler for
   it.

 - Since ioctl don't any longer submit requests to the queue without
   rq->special set, we can safely remove args_error handling from
   start_request.

 - Make REQ_SPECIAL usage in ide-floppy obvious.

 - Use REQ_SPECIAL everywhere instead of REQ_DRIVE_ACB. This is actually a bit
   dangerous but should work as far as I can see.

 - Unfold the now not REQ_SPECIAL specific dequeing part of ide_end_drive_cmd().
   Turns out that we can thereafter remove the calls to ide_end_drice_cmd() at
   places where the request type isn't REQ_SPECIAL all any longer. (tcq.c)


 - After the above operation it turns out that there are just two places where
   ide_end_drive_cmd remains, namely: ata_error, task_no_data_intr
   drive_cmd_intr.

   We can avoid it by changing the logics in ata_error a slightly.

   So now just to cases remain where ide_end_drive_cmd remains used:
   drive_cmd_intr and task_no_data_intr.

 - Now looking  a bit closer we can realize that drive_cmd_intr and
   task_no_data_intr can be easly merged together, since the usage of
   task_no_data_intr implied taskfile.sector_number == 0.

 - Use one single ata_special_intr function for the handling of interrupts
   submitted through ide_raw_cmd.

 - Move the remaining artefacts of ide_end_drive_cmd directly to
   ata_special_intr. Oh we don't need to check for REQ_SPECIAL any longer there,
   since the context is already known.

 - Set the ata_special_intr handler and command type directly inside
   ide_raw_taskfile to save code.

Same thing as patch #1165/1 but for 2.5.x

The kernel expects these to return values in unsigned long types.

- remove LAST_DESC in favour of passing the array size to iotable_init
- replace domain and permission bits/cache attributes with a generic
  "type", which can be easily converted to the required domain and
  permission bits/cache attributes at run time.  It also removes the
  possibility for getting such things wrong and (accidentally)
  allowing all user space to fiddle with devices directly.

This patch removes fsuser().  Now both suser() and fsuser() are gone and
all permission checks use an appropriate capable() call.

Attached patch replaces the lone remaining suser() call with capable()
and then removes suser() itself in a triumphant celebration of the glory
of capable().  Or something. ;-)

Small cleanup of capable() and some comments, too.

 - Simplify ide_cmd_type_parse by removing the handling of commands which we
   never use.

 - Realize that pre_task_out_intr and pre_task_mulout_intr are semanticaly
   identical. Use only pre_task_out_intr(). This allowed us to
   eliminate the prehandler altogether.

 - Updated fix for misconfigured host chips by Vojtech Pavlik.

 - Be more permissive about ioctl handling to allow device type drivers to do
   they own checks.

 - ali14xx cleanups by Andrej Panin.

 - Unfold usage ide_cmd_type_parser in tcq.c code. This makes this operation
   local to ide-disk.c. Move it as well as the interrupt handlers used only for
   the handling of disk requests there too.

 - Guard against calling handler before the drive is ready for it in
   ata_taskfile()! Well this bug was there before, but right now we inform
   about it.

 - Unfold ide_cmd_type_praser in ide-disk.c. Merge the remaining bits of it with
   get_command. Well it's no more.

 - Move recal_intr to ide.c - the only place where it's used.

This doesn't change the "mechanics" of the code but it makes it a lot more
"obvious" what's going on.

2.5.20 seems to be incapable of executing binaries in a ramdisk-based
root filesystem.  The ramdisk in question is an ext2fs, with a 1K
block size loaded via the compressed ramdisk loader in do_mounts().

It appears that, in the case of a 1K block sized filesystem, we attempt
to read two 512-byte sectors into a BIO vector.  The first one is copied
into the first 512 bytes.  The second sector, however, is copied over
the first 512 bytes.  Obviously not what we really want.

Rev. 2, slightly cleaned up:

Noted by Alexey Vyskubov

- Make sure proper pci id is passed to probe()
- make sure pci_dev->driver is set and reset on driver registration/unregistration
- call remove_driver to force unload of driver on unregistration

driver_unbind was called when drv->refcount == 0.
It would call driver_for_each_dev to do the unbinding
The first thing that would do was get_device, which...
BUG()'d if drv->refcount == 0. 
Duh. 

- make sure drv->devices is initialized on registration (from Peter Osterlund)
- add remove_driver for forcing removal of driver

There was a potential race with the module unload code. When a pci driver was unloaded, it would call pci_unregister_driver, which would simply call put_driver.
If the driver's refcount wasn't 0, it wouldn't unbind it from devices, but the module unload would still continue. 
If something tried to access the driver later (since everyone thinks its still there), Bad Things would happen. 
This fixes it until there can be tighter integration between the device model and module unload code.
