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.

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).

These are the small subset which were obviously correct.

Declare pnpbios_init as returning int, as __initcalls are supposed to.

The compiler warns about about crd_load being defined but never used with
my config. The appended patch avoids compiling in the unused code in this
case.

Several people (including Alan Cox) on lkml claimed that the BIOS
returns CPU addresses, so using phys_to_virt is actually correct -
and it makes my kernel compile again.

As vesafb only compiles on i386, using a more portable API isn't useful,
anyway.

irtty.c includes irqueue.h which includes linux/cache.h (via
asm/processor.h <- asm/thread_info.h <- linux/thread_info.h <-
linux/spinlock.h)

both irqueue.h and cache.h defines a ALIGN (for different
purposes).

This patch renames ALIGN in irqueue.h to IRDA_ALIGN.

Hello,

	this recent ALSA patch includes:

- added initial version of Config.help files
- moved /proc/asound/sndstat to /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
- moved /proc/asound/oss-devices to /proc/asound/oss/devices
- snd-rtctimer updates (blocking of RTC driver change)
- added ioctl conversion code for 32-bit applications running on 64-bit kernels
- fixed dependencies in makefiles
- wavefront driver cleanups (removed LOOPS_PER_SEC)
- created Documentation/sound/alsa directory

everyone can tell.

version 2.0.19, plus boolean cleanups.

New file and directory include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h, containing
only WAN ioctl-related definitions.
Update include/linux/if.h to reference these structures, providing
us with complete type safety, including through ioctls.

Clean up WAN device protocol structure accesses to be type-safe,
and not have to store the data length of structures.

Clean up WAN driver ioctl handling to be more independent
of line settings structure changes.

s/SIOCDEVICE/SIOCWANDEV/

Add new HDLC interface, split up huge hdlc.c driver into
multiple files based on hardware type.  Convert WAN drivers
to new interface.

v1.27   improved CSR/PROM address detection, lots of cleanups,
       new pcnet32vlb module option, HP-PARISC support,
       added module parameter descriptions, 
       initial ethtool support - Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
v1.27a  Sun Feb 10 2002 Go Taniguchi <go@turbolinux.co.jp>
       use alloc_etherdev and register_netdev
       fix pci probe not increment cards_found
       FD auto negotiate error workaround for xSeries250
       clean up and using new mii module

for the following net drivers:

Several ham radio, several IrDA, lp4863, pcnet32, saa9730,
wireless orinoco.

Idea is that if there is a valid name in MODULE_DESCRIPTION("...")
then the name of the hardware/driver should not be also repeated
in each MODULE_PARM_DESC("...").  MODULE_DESCRIPTION has been
added to essentially all the 8390 drivers.

All of the drivers changed are 8390 based, with the exception of
eepro100 and 3c509.

08/15/01 - Added ioctl() functionality for debugging, changed netif_*_queue
           calls and other incorrectness - Kent Yoder <yoder1@us.ibm.com>
11/05/01 - Restructured the interrupt function, added delays, reduced the 
           the number of TX descriptors to 1, which together can prevent 
           the card from locking up the box - <yoder1@us.ibm.com>

Remove duplicated ethtool ioctl handling code, fixing build.
