"some" systems with "some" cables see a large amount of errors,
due to a hardware bug.  This bug is (apparently) not probe-able;
however it only appears on rare reference boards and the like,
so we simply add a config option and default the option to OFF.

Further detail:
When CONFIG_NATSEMI_CABLE_MAGIC option is enabled, PMDCSR_VAL
register value becomes 0x1898, a value provided by a NatSemi
app note.  This enables a workaround for a hardware bug
which is (apparently) not probe-able.  Luckily the hardware bug
is (apparently) not common either, so we default to disabling
this workaround.

the size of the Tx data buffer list without cause.
Spotted by Dave Jones.

    - fix the replacement mistake of xxx_thread_flag
    - fix the miss test of PT_PTRACED flag

OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>

The first fix changes get_wchan() and the second one fixed what DaveM noticed.

Fixe another typo in the recent llseek cleanups.  Typo was spotted by
Miloslav Trmac ...  hopefully the last.

Switch over ext3, ufs, reiserfs, msdos, vfat, isofs, qnx4, hpfs, efs,
udf, romfs, bfs, affs, hfs, adfs, cramfs, ntfs, jffs, jffs2 and freevxfs
to new ->get_sb(). 

Kill ->read_super() that is thus no longer used.

syscall latency improvement

 * There's now an asm/thread_info.h header file with the basic structure
   def and asm offsets in it.

 * There's now a linux/thread_info.h header file which includes the asm
   version and wraps some bitops calls to make convenience functions for
   accessing the low-level flags. 

 * The task_struct has had some fields removed (and some flags), and has
   acquired a pointer to the thread_info struct.

 * task_struct's are now allocated on slabs in kernel/fork.c, whereas
   thread_info structs are allocated at the bottom of the stack pages.

 * Some more convenience functions are provided at the end of linux/sched.h to
   access flags in other tasks (these are here because they need to access the
   task_struct).

filesystem definition patches in -pre2 (changes pcihpfs_fs_type to 
pcihpfs_type).

Control interface running flag correctly, via netif_carrier_{on,off},
rather than manipulating the IFF_RUNNING bit directly from within
the driver (ug).

Second half of fix (first half of which added an embarrassingly 
long time ago) which works around hardware bug at 10 mbit.

minor nit, but it seems the tkill() patch added a sys_tkill entry without
removing an ia64_ni_syscall entry.

Linus, below is a patch to return the size of a device in bytes, not
in units of 512-byte sectors (which is incorrect per function
definition).  Tim Pepper submitted an equivalent patch for 2.4.x, now
included in 2.4.18-pre4.  Please apply.

minixfs switched.

sysvfs and v7 switched.
	* super.c: switched to ->get_sb()
	* ChangeLog: fixed dates ;-)

we are done with nodev filesystems - removed dead code in super.c and
fs.h

coda.

ncpfs.

smbfs switched to ->get_sb()

This patch updates the input core to the current version, fixing a bunch
of bugs, adding hotplug support and a listing of available input devices
in /proc. The later is very useful for troubleshooting.

The llseek cleanup contained a typo in bluetooth/hci_vhci.c that
prevents compile.  Thankfully it seems to be the only of this type.

Remove deprecated SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls from several net drivers.  The same capabilities have been accessible via SIOCxMIIxxx ioctls
since their introduction in 2.4.x, and it's DaveM's intention to
eventually remove SIOCDEVPRIVATE during the 2.5.x series.

* Support new clone board.
* Count rx-lost-in-ring events.
* Support ethtool-compatible bitmapped printk message enable number.
* Support MII ethtool helper interface, and associated ioctls.
* Replace some MII-related magic numbers with linux/mii.h constants.
* Add in optional (and hopefully preferred... after testing) code
for resetting RX DMA engine on error.

* Support MII ethtool helper interface, and associated ioctls.
* Replace some MII-related magic numbers with constants from linux/mii.h.
* Remove deprecated SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls, SIOCxMIIxxx ioctl replacements
have been in place since 2.4.x.

* Support MII ethtool helper interface, and associated ioctls.
* Remove unused CP_CHIP_VERSION constant.
* Update to-do list in driver header.
