The writeback code paths which walk the superblocks and inodes are
getting an increasing arguments passed to them.

The patch wraps those args into the new `struct writeback_control',
and uses that instead.  There is no functional change.

The new writeback_control structure is passed down through the
writeback paths in the place where the old `nr_to_write' pointer used
to be.

writeback_control will be used to pass new information up and down the
writeback paths.  Such as whether the writeback should be non-blocking,
and whether queue congestion was encountered.

Andrew removed a flush_dcache_page in his kmap_atomic generic_file_*
changes.

Doing that sort of corrupts data on some platforms.

Now that all archs use the same way to generate the link script, we can
handle it from the common top-level Makefile instead of the individual
arch/*/Makefile's.

Untested, but at least it should show how to adapt the mips arch.

Untested, but at least it should show how to adapt the cris arch.

This is an untested attempt to convert ARM to preprocessing vmlinux.lds.S
instead of running sed on it - This probably allows for further cleanup,
but I'll leave that to _rmk_.

For consistency reasons, generate 

	arch/$(ARCH)/vmlinux.lds.s

from 

 	arch/$(ARCH)/vmlinux.lds.S

on all archs, even those which do not need preprocessing (yet).

Sam Ravnborg:

Yep, "if_changed_dep" uses fixdep, so a dependency to scripts is needed.
Added echo_target as well, so the result file is printed as well.

remove unused pdc202xx.h

but makes it impossible to shut down cleanly.

Renames console.c and vt.c. The idea is to break these massive files into smaller ones. The main goal is to move all the high end tterminal emulation into one file. This way we can have a light weight printk without the extra weight. nice for embedded systems.

Removed selection.h header. It is not needed and in the future selections will be a pure userland solution. Use set_current_state instead in tty_ioctl.c.

hpt366 pci_tbl has a cut-n-paste error, last entry should be '4' and not
15. fixes a bug where hpt366_init_one() gets passed bogus
id->driver_data and thus goes way beyond hpt366_chipsets[]

Note the cdc-ether.c driver does NOT work properly now, someone who 
understands the interface mess in that driver needs to fix it up.

This adds the requirement that the usb-serial drivers call 
usb_register() and usb_unregister() themselves, instead of having
the usbserial.c file do it.  Step one in moving the usbserial.c 
code to being a "class"  :)

 Update the ov511 driver to version 1.62:
 o Update email address
 o Remove some dead code and fix some harmless typos
 o New device: Alpha Vision Tech. AlphaCam SE
 o Fix assignment of ov->proc_button->owner to not cause
   NULL pointer deref (credit: Oleg K.)
 o Support I2C read/write ioctl()s via V4L (credit: Oleg K.)
 o Add OV518-specific register dump code
 o New snapshot reset sequence; old one was causing
   erroneous I2C writes (credit: Oleg K.)
 o OV6630 needs different register 0x14 settings than OV6620
 o Don't print palette errors by default
 o Detect OV518 cameras that have packet numbering enabled
   by default and set ov->packet_numbering accordingly. This
   should fix the problems some users were having with babble
   (USB error -75) and cameras not working at all.

I noticed a kluge had been put into 2.5.35, to cover up *one* of the
errors caused by a particular bug that was introduced when Patrick
Mochel split up arch/i386/kernel/setup.c: he incorrectly thought the
AMD-defined CPUID levels were AMD-specific; they're not -- every other
x86 vendors *including* Intel uses them as well.

This also adds the "i686" hack for TM5xxx that was added in 2.4 recently.
