- kill dups in ide.c and ide-disk.c
 - read_24() is exported so rename it to ide_read_24()
 - add it ide.h

They are unused, not needed and identical to generic ones so kill 'em:
    task_read_24(),
    task_try_to_flush_leftover_data(),
    taskfile_dump_status(),
    taskfile_error().

There's an (fortunately unused) devfs in misc_register currently,
when the name of the miscdevice contains a slash the name is used
as devfs name instead of misc/<name>.  Kill if as we have .devfs_name
for this kind of stuff now.

ioctl32 cleanups are pretty neccessary (we have 6+ copies of 600+
lines tables, all getting slightly out of sync, not speaking about
surrounding code produced by cut-and-paste).

There's three drivers in the tree that workaround the suboptimal
devfs name choice of the misc device layer (/dev/misc/<foo>) using
devfs_mk_symlink.    Switch them to set miscdev.devfs_name instead
to get the right name from the very beginning.

- Remove all uses of unnamed structs and unions in the driver to make
  old and newer gcc versions happy. Makes it a bit uglier IMO but at
  least people will stop hassling me

Add some spinlock protection around the oom-killer state.

From Robert Day, through "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

This is a patch from Robert Day that does the following:

1) shift menu item in "Processor type and features" menu
2) clean up "Bus options" menu so it's actually hierarchical

Part of it (moving X86_IO_APIC around) looked a little odd to me,
so I asked Roman Zippel about it, and he replied:

"It's correct, although I wouldn't call it a 'design quirk'. :)
It forces one to group options which belong logically together and in this
case X86_IO_APIC is really a bit misplaced, even if it's not visible."

I have tested it (on 2.5.68-plain) and it does indeed make the menus
more hierarchical.

The percpu counters break UML SMP compilation (in current 2.5.58 bk snapshot)
(first NR_CPUS undeclared in header, then dereference of incomplete structure
in .c file)

Here's a small patch that adds aio_read and aio_write methods to the
block device driver.

Fix a bug identified by Nikita Danilov: refill_inactive_zone() is deferring
the update of zone->nr_inactive and zone->nr_active for too long - it needs
to be consistent whenever zone->lock is not held.

- Whitespace fixes

- Fix for the case where HZ != 1000 (pointed out by Mika Penttila).

Update some no-longer-true comments around nr_threads locking.

From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>

The problem resolved by this patch is that if a root file system has an
error recorded from a previous mount, and then (when rebooting) the orphan
recovery procedure is initiated, the recovery is correctly skipped but the
file system is incorrectly left in a writable state.

This causes the subsequent fsck to fail due to the root file system
being dirty, and then requires manual intervention to get the system
fully booted.

From: Paul B Schroeder <paulsch@haywired.net>

The following patch simply moves the 'nr_registered_attrs' and
'device_registered' variables in mwavedd.c into the MWAVE_DEVICE_DATA struct
which is defined in mwavedd.h..

- Remove dead variable from block_read_full_page (Oleg Drokin)

From: Miklos.Szeredi@eth.ericsson.se (Miklos Szeredi)

This fixes a problem with method 0 of proc_file_read (when the whole file
is copied to the page).  The calculation of the final bytecount is wrong,
and hence smaller then page size reads will give a truncated file.

Current 2.4 kernels do it this way as well.

From: Krzysztof Halasa <khc@pm.waw.pl>

Updates the HDLC drivers to the approved module API.

From: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@SteelEye.com>

Currently, when I build ext3 as a module, jbd gets built into the kernel
proper.  This trivial patch allows jbd to be built as a module when ext3 is
also modular.  I believe this is the intention, as this is how it works in
2.4.  I've built and tested with modular jbd and ext3 on 2.5.68.

From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>

Christoph submitted a patch to linus last week fixing up some DAC960 driver
entry points.  That patch will OOPS during boot on version 2 controller
types.  Christoph's version of the disk_size() function was dereferencing
a NULL pointer in it's "else" clause.

Christoph's patch hasn't appeared in linus's BK tree yet.  So, I'm
resending Christoph's orignal patch with my fix to disk_size() included.
This patch can be applied to the driver in Linus's BK tree from April 28.

Here's Christoph's original description of his patch:

Some grepping showed that DAC960's open routine was duplicating parts
of check_disk_change().  I went on fixing this by implementing a
media_changed method and making DAC960_Open use it.  While looking
at the surrounding code I noticed that

  (a) all methods weren't using the private data the upperlayer
      hands to it properly, but instead using kdev_t-based indexes
  (b) DAC960_Open/DAC960_Release was keeping never used counters
  (c) DAC960_Open was doing tons of checks the upperlayer already does
  (d) DAC960_Release was entirely superflous.

The patch below corrects that and rewrites the block entry points
into readable code - 100 LOC are gone and the same amount replaced
by readable code.

Fix a few unused var warnings in drivers/block/xd.c

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>

apm.c:suspend() calls set_system_power_state() under (effectively)
spin_lock_irq(i8253_lock).

But set_system_power_state() unconditionally enables interrupts, in
apm_bios_call_simple().  This generates nasty warnings from the uniprocessor
spinlock debugging code, and would be deadlocky if APM worked on SMP.

So drop the locks around the set_system_power_state() call.

Update bttv driver to the new IRQ API.

Fixes a bug spotted by Alexey Mahotkin <alexm@hsys.msk.ru>: the slab-internal
SLAB_NO_GROW bit clashes with __GFP_NORETRY.

Fix that up so it won't happen again by moving the bit layout into gfp.h.

Some IRQ udpates for IRDA which seemed to get lost.

IRQ API udpate in i2c-elektor.c

Introduces __module_get for places where we know we already hold
a reference and ignoring the fact that the module is being "rmmod --wait"ed
is simpler.
