- Make the bit-sliced data types in hdreg.h use the bit-slice data types
   instead of the generic ones. This makes clear that those are supposed
   to be register masks.

 - Remove pseudo headers for nonexisting support of not existing
   hardware from Big Black Boxen code.

Just getting trivia out of the way, so the interresting parts
don't get burried by them:

- Sanitize the menu configuration system.

- Allow to compile atapi.c as a "foundation module" for the
   consuming device type drivers.

The attached patch does the following:

1. Remove blkdev_release_request(Request); it was an unnecessary wrapper
    around blk_put_request(Request). Likely some leftover from pre-BIO
    time...

2. Abstract out the fine __scsi_insert_special() function out from
    the SCSI code.

    Now that I have finally managed to kill all those IDE 'specific'
    REQ_BLAH request types, we can do this final step, and it will be
    used soon at least by ATA code as well. The goal is that
    scsi_request_fn and do_ide_request should start to look similar
    like silblings.

    Its called blk_insert_request() now and even documented in code.

3. Change some stuff over from extern inline to static inline in
    blkdev.h. (trivia...)

This patch doesn't change *any* functionality, so its not exposing
SCSI to any danger :-).

The following two patches seem to be needed to export the requisite
symbols needed for fully modular builds of the new serial drivers in
2.5.28.

The old form of designated initializers are obsolete: we need to
replace them with the ISO C forms before 2.6.  Gcc has always
supported both forms anyway.

From Rusty's Trivial Patch - thanks.

Trying to open a non-present port (for configuration) causes us to
to endlessly loop (by returning -ERESTARTSYS).  We should be returning
success.  This cset fixes this.

Add full support for the NFSv3 permissions checking. Ensures that we
work properly with NFSv3 servers that do uid/gid mapping and/or have
support for ACLs.

Permissions are cached in the struct nfs_inode in order to reduce the
number of RPC calls. The cache timeout period is given by the ordinary
attribute timeout.

Reduce the number of getattr/lookup calls in nfs_lookup_revalidate()
by making the latter rely on the ordinary attribute cache, and moving
the close-to-open data consistency checking into nfs_open().

This does mean that we can end up calling GETATTR twice: once in
nfs_lookup_revalidate() then immediately after in nfs_open(), however
it also means that sys_stat() and friends now use cached attributes.

Make RPC over UDP use a socket buffer size that is large enough to fit
all the messages. Congestion control is in any case handled by the Van
Jacobson algoritm, and we need to work around a bug in
ip_build_xmit_slow() w.r.t. fragmentation when there is insufficient
buffer memory to fit the entire message.

Make the RPC write_space() algoritm use the standard socket flags
SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_NOSPACE instead of its own custom flag.

This updates the F00F bug workaround code to the IDT changes in the TLS
patch.

Tested it on a non-Pentium box on which i triggered the workaround
artificially.

This fixes the ACPI_DEBUG compile issue that turned up.

  + cleanup init.c and split into pgtable.c
  + split declaration of _text, _etext outside into sections.h

* handle another cardbus unplug misbehavior
     - root hub kept polling, never stopped
     - starts to update hcd->state to match internal state
* code to count/queue TDs for interrupt/bulk is now shared
     - removes (low level) interrupt transfer size limitation
     - both types already handled urb queueing
     - re-indents some TD queuing code (most of patch, by volume)
* cleanup
     - use new container_of() macro, not list_entry()
     - report a previously unreported error (control data >4K)
     - simplify intr/bulk toggle reset
     - tweak TD debug dump
     - more object code shrinkage (often fits in 3 pages)

Note that the control data size error is just a long-standing
limitation of this driver, not a USB limitation!  It could be
fixed, if anyone starts to run into it.

Some fixes from Johann Deneux:
  Fixes needed to get WingMan Force 3D running. (Fix in fixp_cos
  and hid_init_reports).

Here is a patch wich moves hid-lg3d.c into hid-lgff.c. This allows to
share the init code.
A side-effect of this merge is that rumble pads are now handled the same
way joysticks are. Instead of having one timer per effect, executing
only when needed, we have one timer executing at regular intervals going
over each effect.

Allocate positive instead of negative line numbers when 8250.c
registers a new port with the core.  This bug could cause
registrations to erroneously fail, or oopsen when the pcmcia
serial device is ejected.

Add irq_enter/exit to smp_call_function_interrupt():
arch/i386/kernel/microcode.c:do_microcode_update() calls
smp_call_function(do_update_one).  do_update_one() does
spin_lock/unlock.

Remove unneeded GET_THREAD_INFO(%ebx) in device_not_available() trap in
entry.S

At least it compiles now.

interrupt probing

This is no better or worse than the cli/sti the cmd640 driver
used to have, but at least it compiles and works in the new
scheme of things.

Perfection can wait. Especially since that probably involves
removing the PCI-related code, and just trusting the native
Linux direct PCI accesses.
