      Integrate NAPI work done by Jamal Hadi Salim, · abb85ec3
      David S. Miller authored
      Robert Olsson, and Alexey Kuznetsov.  This changeset adds
      the framework and implementation, but drivers need to be
      ported to NAPI in order to take advantage of the new
      facilities.  NAPI is fully backwards compatible, current
      drivers will continue to work as they always have.
      
      NAPI is a way for dealing with high packet load.  It allows
      the driver to disable the RX interrupts on the card and enter
      a polling mode.  Another way to describe NAPI would be as
      implicit mitigation.  Once the device enters this polling
      mode, it will exit back to interrupt based processing when
      the receive packet queue is purged.
      
      A full porting and description document is found at:
      Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt
      and this also makes reference to Usenix papers on the
      web and other such resources available on NAPI.
      
      NAPI has been found to not only increase packet processing
      rates, it also gives greater fairness to the other interfaces
      in the system which are not experiencing high packet load.

      [PATCH] smbfs unicode support · 63547b06
      Urban Widmark authored
      This patch adds unicode support and wants to be applied on top of the LFS
      one. It uses a fake nls module to do the (little endian) unicode
      translation.

      [PATCH] forward port of NUMA-Q pci patch from 2.4.19-pre2 · 8ca541f5
      Martin J. Bligh authored
      This patch enables PCI buses on nodes above node 0 for
      the NUMA-Q architecture. It also enables node-directed
      port/IO, and cleans up a couple of tiny things that only
      affect CONFIG_MULTIQUAD.

      [PATCH] SCSI cdrom cleanup · dbdb2c5a
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      This is one of the very early steps on cleaning up the SCSI cdrom
      driver.  It gets rid of directly accessing the scsi_CDs array in favour
      of using the handle we get from the generic cdrom layer.  Also uses
      local vars instead of many grouped scsi_CDs accesses in other places.
      
      The gain is to get rid of the global, static array of CDROMS
      in the end.

      ehci-0306, iso, philips, speedups
        
            - adds preliminary highspeed ISO support
            - tweaks the driver to support the Philips EHCI
            - does less in the IRQ handler
            - avoids accessing one immutable PCI register
        
      The ISO support should be enough to start writing
      drivers, not that I know of any ISO devices that are
      really available yet, but it's not fully cooked yet.
        
      As a functional milestone, this means Linux now
      handles all kinds of highspeed device I/O.  (But it
      doesn't yet handle split periodic transactions, to
      full or low speed devices through USB 2.0 hubs.)
          
      Thanks to Rory Bolt for the non-ISO bits here!

      [PATCH] execve TGID dethreading bug fix · a55b9112
      David Howells authored
      kill all subsidiary threads in a thread group when the main thread
      exits.
      
      Features:
      
       - It sends the subsidiary threads SIGKILL with SI_DETHREAD.
      
       - Subsidiary threads doing an execve() just leave the thread group (rather
         than forcing the master thread to do an execve() which would be more POSIX
         like).

      hcd-0305, periodic and pci fixup
        
            - removes the pci dependency you mentioned in the
              rh_string code (friendlier to non-PCI HCs)
            - makes code match doc (8859-1 chars, not just ascii)
            - adds sanity checking for the periodic transfer interval,
              and forces it to a power-of-two (code can leave HCDs)
            - facilitates better IRQ sharing
