The dev_t argument of sys_mknod is passed to vfs_mknod, and is then cast
to int when foo_mknod is called, and is subsequently very often cast
back to dev_t.  (For example, minix_mknod() calls minix_set_inode() that
takes a dev_t.)

This is a cleanup that avoids this back-and-forth casting by giving
foo_mknod a prototype with dev_t.  In most cases now the dev_t is
transmitted untouched until init_special_inode.

It also makes the two routines hugetlbfs_get_inode() and
shmem_get_inode() static.

Fixes miscalculation of required module size due to alignment issues of
first section after common, and also doesn't think that no init section
is an allocation failure.

Patch from Adam Richter.  I have a nicer solution based on aliases, but
it requires coordination with USB, PCI and PCMCIA maintainers, which is
taking time.

This restores the old code in the meantime: one week without this is too
long for people who need it.

This removes Rules.make inclusions, makes make clean work properly,
removes EXTRA_TARGETS where not needed, and fixes a couple of compile
warnings in the boot wrappers where <linux/string.h> wasn't included.

This solves some mutual inclusion problems.

Now atomic.h defines the smp_mb__* macros completely itself without
needing the smp_mb definition from <asm/system.h>

Also use strsep in ibmmca.c, as strtok is gone from the kernel.

parse_interface allocates the incorrect storage size for additional
altsettings (new buffer) leading to a BUG being triggered in
mm/slab.c:1453 when we do the memcpy from the old buffer to the new
buffer (writing beyond new buffer).
Patch appended, tested with an OV511 on an Intel PIIX4

Al pointed out that the current name of get_lease is extremely confusing
and I agree.

This (a) renames it to break_lease and (b) fixes a bug noticed by Dave
Hansen which could cause a NULL pointer dereference under high load.

 - removed a few #ifdefs in the main code
 - cleaned up the failure logic in initialization.

This removes the code from cap_sysget that fills out the capability set
being returned to userspace.  The module handles this in a policy
specific way.  This updates the dummy.c module to fill in return data
according to superuser policy, and also disables setting capabilities in
superuser policy.

sending routines don't set it up.

from "write()" is an error condition, and hang retrying.

Return EINVAL in sysfs instead.

These security_ops are declared like

        int (*inode_mknod) (struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry,
                            int mode, dev_t dev);

with a mode and a dev_t argument.

But the users mistakenly had major, minor instead of mode, dev.

Given Andi Kleen's patch that introduces of VFS-level support for
nanosecond time resolutions, we should finally be able to export the
existing NFS client level support to userland.

In order to do so, the following patch will convert all NFS private 'raw
u64' values into the kernel-supported struct timespec directly in the
xdr_encode/xdr_decode routines.

It adds support for the nanosecond field in NFS 'setattr' calls, and in
nfs_refresh_inode().

Finally, there are a few cleanups in the nfs_refresh_inode code that
convert multiple use of the NFS_*(inode) macros into a single
dereference of NFS_I(inode).

Fix numerous ALSA core compiler warnings of the type "unused variable foo"
