sound/pcmcia/vx/vx_entry.c:

This patch removes the PCMCIA timer release functionality which is no
longer required. Without this the module does not compile.

Too much cut-and-paste, noticed by Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>

On PPC32 we reorder the arguments so they fit into 6 registers.  Glibc will
need a two-line stub to change them from the standard order to the ordering
used by the system call: (fd, advice, offset, len).

In both 2.4 and in 2.6, error handling for bad cdrom media is
wrong.  And it is my fault I'm afraid, since I botched an earlier
fix for the problem by putting the fix in the wrong spot.

My kids have a "Jumpstart Toddlers" cd they have long since
completely killed, which makes a great test disc.  Without this
fix, the best time projection I can get for completing a dd type
sector copy is about 2 years...  Most of that is spent thrashing
about in kernel space trying to re-read sectors we already know
are not correctable....  After the fix, I was able to rip a copy
the CD (or rather muddle through it getting lots of EIO errors)
in about 15 minutes.

Attached is the fix for 2.6.x,

Yes, looks good: reset the iterator at allocation.

Remove the PCMCIA release timer that got missed in earlier patch.  This
is required for successful compilation of the driver.

a valid SEP bit. The errata has it right: you have to have at
least model 3, stepping 3. Not "model >= 3 or stepping >= 3".

Fix the test accordingly.

ESTALE errors.

resent since you don't know whether the server is replying to the
first or the second transmission. However we're currently setting
the cutoff point to be the timeout of the first transmission.

This patch moves the cutoff point to the actual start of the
retransmission.

in line with what is done for TCP.

Signedness corrections when updating RTT.

Be conservative when calculating RTO. Round up the residues.

that call_encode() may cause rq_rcv_buf to be reset despite the fact
that a reply might be delivered at any moment by a softirq.
   
This typically results in 'NFS: server cheating in read reply'
error messages.   

Solve by adding rq_private_buf, which is updated atomically from
rq_rcv_buf.

   - Ensure that we reset req->rq_received before resending if the
     server has sent us a garbage reply.

   - Whenever we grab the xprt_lock_write "semaphore" ensure that we
     reset req->rq_bytes_sent.

   - When resending a TCP request, do not interrupt in the
     middle of transmission even if we do get a reply from the server.

   - Protect the call to rpc_calc_rto() against modification while
     we are calculating
