In general, it is more better to use get_cpu_var() and __get_cpu_var()
to access per-cpu variables on this CPU than to use smp_processor_id()
and per_cpu().  In the current default implemention they are equivalent,
but on IA64 the former is already faster, and other archs will follow.

Make the ROMfs copy in the startup code for NETtel/5272 board
conditional on actually using a ROMfs setup.

Make the ROMfs copy in the startup code for Motorola/M5206eLITE board
conditional on actually using a ROMfs setup.

Fix the m68knommu version of show_stack(). It expects the task as an
argument.

Architectures using the generic 32/64-bit ioctl() compatibility shims
will get a link error if CONFIG_VT is not defined, since the
compatbility ioctl() code calls functions in drivers/char/vt.c which
is only included in the build if CONFIG_VT is set.

This fixes the compile with a couple of #ifdefs:

This patch is to 2.5.73-bk4 and is purely cosmetic.  Please apply.
It removes the blank line after "testing the IO APIC....":

Call refrigerator() in svc_recv, so it is there for nfsd and
no longer needed explicitly in lockd.

Already defined in state.h

sorry. i forgot to lock the nfsv4 state in nfsd4_read, nfsd4_write, and
nfsd4_setattr.

From: "William A.(Andy) Adamson" <andros@citi.umich.edu>

this patch adds share state processing to nfsd4_setattr().

From: "William A.(Andy) Adamson" <andros@citi.umich.edu>

this patch adds share state processing to nfsd4_write().

From: "William A.(Andy) Adamson" <andros@citi.umich.edu>

this patch adds share state processing to nfsd4_read().

From: "William A.(Andy) Adamson" <andros@citi.umich.edu>

Add the opendowngrade call with share state processing. it includes
nfs4_preprocess_stateid_op() which will be used in read and write
state processing.

From: "William A.(Andy) Adamson" <andros@citi.umich.edu>

Add share state processing to nfsd4_close. it includes some more
debug counters.

From: "William A.(Andy) Adamson" <andros@citi.umich.edu>

Add OPEN_CONFIRM functionality to the nfsv4 server, including a
preprocess_seqid_op function that will be used in subsequent patches.

this was need for paths, but now we have seq_path...

Also remove the path_buf that was passed around for
/proc/fs/nfs/exports as the existance of seq_path removes the need
for this.

 IEEE1394 : Kbuildify oui2c.
 ALL      : C construct cleanups, macro namespace cleanups.
 ETH1394  : Limited multicast support. Minor fixes for IPv4 interop.
 ETH1394  : Add ethtool support.

Modify m68knommu do_settimeofday() routine to take "struct timespec"
argument, and adjust code to handle nsec size quantities.

Define missing type for CONFIG_KCORE_ELF in m68knommu/Kconfig.

This patch introduces pci_name() and converts slot_name into a pointer to
dev.bus_id.

 - Request resources before using them
 - Don't allocate GFP_KERNEL memory with interrupts disabled
 - Split pci_direct_init() into three functions to prevent it from
   getting too long.

Move all the SCSI Kconfig bits from arch/*/Kconfig into driver/scsi/Kconfig.
Also add notes about FireWire & USB.

 - Fix geometry reporting.
 - Avoid endless loop when deleting a Virtual Unit Chain.

Last November Linus applied a patch to remove the now-unused
*_segments() functions from all architectures ...  but some of the newer
architectures escaped and still have them.

As discussed earlier. The 64bit epoll ABI on AMD64 is changed to
match 32bit. This way we avoid emulation overhead.

To catch old binaries I allocate new syscall slots.

Without this patch ACPI won't compile on AMD64 because of mismatched prototypes.

Andrew stated that this is the way he wants it to be fixed.

Bring the x86-64 architecture code uptodate for 2.5.73.

One problem is that CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE corrupts file systems on AMD 8111. It
may be worth to disable it in the configuration.

 - Disable 32bit vsyscalls for now until all bugs can be fixed
 - Fix warnings
 - Fix NULL pointer reference in 32bit ptrace
 - Timing fixes from John Stultz
 - Sync show_stack prototype
 - Sync nmi and floppy.h code (Mikael P.)
 - Set proper defines for AGP
 - Make Simics work again
 - Scale unit in 32bit sysinfo (originally from ppc64)
