      [PATCH] hd98 compile fixes · a58e4d1d
      Alexander Viro authored
      	hd98 had missed a lot of required block device patches (e.g.
      it used BLK_DEFAULT_QUEUE and that had been gone for ~ half a year).
      Reproduced the changes done to hd.c.

      [PATCH] ataflop.c cleanup · 8bb3ef29
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Somewhat cleaned up, sanitized the module init/exit code (BTW,
      built-in case was b0rken for quite a while - somebody forgot to add
      initcall there; converted the bugger to module_init/module_exit)

      [PATCH] blkmtd init cleanup · 5e3ecdac
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Obvious cleanup of the code in init_blkmtd().  Killed code duplication,
      replaced opening underlying block device manually with use of appropriate
      helpers.

      [PATCH] open_by_devnum() · 80e96b51
      Alexander Viro authored
      	New helper - open_by_devnum().  Opens block_device by device number;
      for use in situations when we really have nothing better than dev_t (i.e.
      had received it from stupid userland API).

      [PATCH] pin_fs/release_fs · 259f529f
      Alexander Viro authored
      	A couple of helpers - simple_pin_fs() and simple_release_fs().
      My fault - that code should've been put into libfs.c from the very
      beginning.  As it is, it got copied all over the place (binfmt_misc,
      capifs, usbfs, usbdevfs, rpc_pipefs).
      	Taken to libfs.c and cleaned up.

      [PATCH] simple_fill_super() · deddb7cb
      Alexander Viro authored
      	New libfs.c helper - simple_fill_super().  Abstracted from
      nfsd/nfsctl.c, couple of filesystems converted to it (nfsctl, binfmt_misc).
      
      	Function takes an array of triples (name, file_operations, mode),
      superblock and value for its ->s_magic.  It acts as fill_super() - populates
      superblock or fails.  We get a ramfs-style flat tree - root directory and
      a bunch of files in it.
      
      	That animal allows to put together a simple filesystem without
      touching any directory-related stuff - now it's as easy as implementing
      file_operations for files you want to have and telling what to call them.

      [ARM] set_pgd is confusing; rename it switch_mm · 27510721
      Russell King authored
      set_pgd implies that we're setting a pgd entry.  We aren't; we're
      switching the MMU page table pointer.  Call it switch_mm instead.

      [ARM] Remove check_bugs() · ef76bbd2
      Russell King authored
      check_bugs() has never been used to detect buggy ARM CPUs.  Therefore
      is no point in passing it to the per-cpu support code.

      [ARM] Part 2 in the cache API changes. · d37d9068
      Russell King authored
      This is the new API; we now have methods for handling DMA which are
      separate from those handling the TLB consistency issues, which are
      in turn separate from the methods handling the cache coherency
      issues.
      
      Implementations are, however, free to alias these methods internally.
