From Matias Alejo Garcia <kernel@matiu.com.ar>.

MODULE_ALIAS_LDISC() is not in any way architecture-specific, so don't
put it in architecture header files.

Here's a patch which moves it to a more sensible location.

The "insert_here" list pointer logic was broken, and unnecessary. 

Kill it and its associated logic off completely - just tell the IO
scheduler what kind of insert it is.

This also makes the *_insert_request strategies much easier to follow,
imo.

Since sdla.c now has locking instead of cli/sti, it shouldn't be
completely busted on SMP.

Also, the frad interface registration needed to be done once
(and check the result), and undone on module unload.

* get rid of leftover sti
* no longer need MOD_INC/DEC stuff
* get rid of dead code related to MOD_INC/DEC
* use module_init/module_exit to cleanly run init code

try_then_request_module() does what crypto/autoload.c is doing, so
replace it.  Fix try_then_request_module(), too (thanks James).

I should have stayed in bed.

Apparently the new gcc 3.2.2 allows local variable declarations within
the code of a function if it is not used earlier. But older gcc's do
not allow this.

Cleanup ikconfig
	- use single_open for built_with file.
	- get rid of unneeded globals
	- use copy_to_user instead of char at a time
	- only need the read routine, proc defaults to correct behaviour
	  for the rest.

When mmap MAP_SHARED is done on a file, it gets marked with VM_MAYSHARE
and, if it's read/write, VM_SHARED.  However, if it is remapped with
mremap(), the MAP_SHARED is only passed into the new mapping based on
VM_SHARED.  This means that remapped read only MAP_SHARED mappings lose
VM_MAYSHARE.  This is causing us a problem on parisc because we have to
align all shared mappings carefully to mitigate cache aliasing problems.

The fix is to key passing the MAP_SHARED flag back into the remapped are
off VM_MAYSHARE not VM_SHARED.

driver->supports_dma was used together with CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK to limit
DMA access to disk devices only.  However Alan introduced new scheme in 2.5.63
and this field is not needed any longer because all ide drivers support DMA.

Some references to irq_stat[] snuck into generic code.  It doesn't work on
several architectures.

So revert that little improvement to the original version.

It seems that changing CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD causes the whole kernel to
rebuild due to an inappropriate ifdef in linux/fs.h - we should not
conditionalise prototypes.

In addition, real_root_dev is only used by two files (kernel/sysctl.c
and init/do_mounts_initrd.c) so it makes even less sense that it was in
linux/fs.h

This patch fixes a logic bug in NAT range calculations, which also
causes a large slowdown when ICMP floods go through NAT.

Rather than hardcoded names in modprobe, modules can offer their own
aliases (which can be overridden by the config file).

Here are the tty-ldisc ones.

Clean up the error handling in cciss_init_one().

From: Michael Pruznick <michael_pruznick@mvista.com>

build errors:
  hermes.h: In function `hermes_set_irqmask':
  hermes.h:337: parse error before "do"

In mips, outw_p() is a #define do...while(0) which, in the case of ?:,
results in a statement being used where an expression is required.
