Please merge this version instead.  It includes all of David's
patch, plus it makes the descriptive info match the updated
role of this driver.  So given this, only the webpage still
needs updates; the in-tree docs are now consistent.

It needs to be "Copyright (C)" not "Copyright (c)" according to the lawyers
who know these things...

Another minor cleanup:
- if usb_register fails report back its return code rather than -1

Changes:
- if tty_register_driver report back its return code rather than -1
- if usb_register fails report back its return code rather than -1

Another better audit:
- If usb_register failes report back its return value
  rather than -1

- if usb_register failes report back its return code rather than -1

- audit usb_register in hiddev_init

- audit hiddev_init in hid_init
- audit usb_register in hid_init

- if usb_register fails report back its return code rather than 0

- if usb_register fails report back its return code rather than -1

- if usb_register fails report back its return code rather than -1
- static declarations for module_init/cleanup functions

- if usb_register fails report back its return code rather than -1

- if usb_register fails report back its return code rather than -1

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,
