  The opti92x driver has global variables named 'rates' and 'bits'

  this proposed patch for drivers/scsi/cpqfcTSinit.c scsi driver for
  Linux removes two calls to check_region using request_region instead

  VT support requires drivers/char/keyboard.c which makes function
  calls implemented in drivers/input/, so that attempting to set
  CONFIG_INPUT=m or just not setting CONFIG_INPUT will result in a
  compile error if CONFIG_VT is on.

  this patch for drivers/ide/legacy/umc8672.c ide driver for Linux
  removes one call to check_region using request_region instead

  I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested.  This patch removes

  The pas2 driver has a global variable named 'lock', which

  Kill duplicate extern char _stext (already declared globally 14 lines before)

From:  Chris Wilson <chris@qwirx.com>

  As part of the Linux Kernel Janitors project, I would like to submit my
  patch for bpqether.c.

  The document Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt says that cli() should no
  longer be used to disable interrupts. This patch removes all references to
  cli() and {save,restore}_flags.

  - added a static spinlock to protect bpq_devices
  - changed cli/sti and {save,restore}_flags to taking the spinlock and
    disabling interrupts with spin_lock_irqsave
  - included my previous patch for proc_net_create, but as a separate hunk,
    so if you've already applied then just ignore the rejected hunk.

  I have verified that the patched driver compiles without warnings, but
  since I don't have the hardware I can't test it. Please treat with
  caution.

The below does two things:
(i) do not try to spin up a CF reader without media
(ii) be careful when asking for the cache parameters mode page

[do not ask for this page when no media are present:
it is meaningless, and some devices react badly if we do;
check the reply so that we do not read past the end of the reply;
first give a small transport length - some USB devices are unhappy
if we ask for more than they provide]

This cleans up the delay code by moving the timer-specific
implementations into the timer_ops struct.  Thus, rather then doing:

	if(x86_delay_tsc)
		__rdtsc_delay(loops);
	else if(x86_delay_cyclone)
		__cyclone_delay(loops);
	else if(whatever....

we just simply do:

	timer->delay(loops);

Making it much easier to accommodate alternate time sources.

This creates an empty timer_opt structure (timer_none) which is then
used as a default initializer to the timer pointer.  This lets us avoid
having to check before dereferencing the timer in future code.

This patch moves BUG() and PAGE_BUG() from asm/page.h into asm/bug.h.

We also fix up linux/dcache.h, which included asm/page.h for the sole
purpose of getting the BUG() definition.

Since linux/kernel.h and linux/smp.h make use of BUG(), asm/bug.h is
included there as well.

In addition, linux/jbd.h did not contain a clear path with which to
obtain the archtecture BUG() definition, but did contain its own
definition.

The following patch adds an explicit no list of arches who do not want
to have the "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" RTC driver asked.  This
adds PPC32 (who for a long time had their own 'generic' RTC driver, and
then have adopted the genrtc driver) and PARISC (who have always used
the genrtc driver).  Per request of Peter Chubb, IA64 is on this list as
well.

The problem is that on some archs there is no hope of this driver
working, and having it compiled into the kernel can cause many different
problems.  On the other hand, there are some arches for whom that driver
does work, on some platforms.  So having an explicit yes list would
result in some rather ugly statements.

This fixes the wrong order of array(amd_ide_chips) that causes a BUG()
in 436 line with any conditions, because we use the wrong amd_config.

This is needed to compile kernel/cpufreq.c if the legacy procfs interface
is not enabled in the latest BK tree.

Updates for drivers/parisc.  Mostly conversion to generic device model.
New hppb driver from Ryan Bradetich.

Allow for per-CPU initialization of CPUfreq. Therefore, it's not
necessary any longer to kmalloc the per-CPU policy struct. To use
this, cpufreq_driver->policy has to be set to NULL. Of course,
cpufreq_driver->init is needed then, which is the appropriate function
for CPU initialization. cpufreq_driver->exit is available for cleanup.

All existing drivers continue to work without any changes, just for
clarity ->init and ->exit are set to NULL, and the names accordingly.
