Cleanup the 4 duplicate "get_files_struct" implementations into one
get_files_struct() function to compliment put_files_struct().

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>

This optimisation was reverted when I was removing all users of page->list.
Bill fixed it up, so unrevert it again.

When building external modules the $PWD/.tmp_versions directory is used.
The .tmp_versions directory in the kernel tree cannot be used because this
would clutter up the kernel tree especially when more than one external
module is being build for the same kernel tree.

This patch make sure to create $PWD/.tmp_versions, and to delete it during
make clean.  It also removes warning about 'messed with SUBDIRS', this is
no longer relevant when .tmp_versions is made outside the kernel tree.

When clearing a large page allocation ensure we use a page clear function
which will correctly clear a ZONE_HIGHMEM page.

M68k: Make sure machine-specific interrupts are always printed (bug introduced
by show_interrupts() conversion)

Amiga Ethernet drivers: Print card info after calling register_netdev(), to
avoid dev->name still being 'eth%d'.

M68k: Update time adjustment code cfr. other architectures.
(perhaps do_gettimeofday() is a good candidate for consolidation across archs?)

M68k TLB fixes from Roman Zippel:
  - Check current->active_mm for currently active mm
  - Set correct context to flush the right ATC entry
This is especially important for kswapd to correctly flush unmapped entries (it
caused random segfaults during large compiles)

m68k: Use explicit-sized types for I/O accesses

Amikbd: Use C99 array initializers and standard key defines

M68k: Clean up initializers:
  - Convert struct/array initializers to C99 style
  - Do not initialize data to 0 or NULL explicitly so it can move to bss

M68k: Add remaining CPU vector definitions

Sun-3: Kill duplicate definitions:
  - FC_CONTROL is defined in <asm/sun3-head.h>
  - vectors[] is declared in <asm/traps.h>

MVME16x RTC: Make days_in_mo[] const

Zorro8390: const data cannot be in the init data section (from Roman Zippel)

Permedia2: Always use the standard barrier macros (they do exist on m68k, and
map to barrier())

Permedia2: Mark pm2fb broken on Amiga, until somebody fixes it (pm2fb.c
explicitly tests for CONFIG_PCI right now)

Zorro: Quieten building of devlist.h (cfr. PCI)

Now init_pcmcia_cs() returns the result of class_register().
Therefore init_pcmcia_cs() will possibly return an error.

Some assembly code (on various archs) either
 1. uses hardcoded errno numbers instead of the canonical macro
    names, or
 2. defines them locally, instead of including the appropriate
    header (while including other headers).

This patch "fixes" such usage in
 - getuser.S for arm
 - putuser.S for arm

From Herbert Xu; the files aren't used anywhere, and
shouldn't be there in the first place.

The following patch adds support for the XScale performance monitoring unit
to OProfile.  It uses not only the performance monitoring counters, but
also the clock cycle counter (CCNT) allowing for upto 5 usable counters.

The code has been developed and tested on an IOP331 (hardware courtesy of
Intel) therefore i haven't been able to test it on XScale PMU1 systems. 
Testing on said systems would be appreciated, and if done, please uncomment
the #define DEBUG line at the top of op_model_xscale.c

OProfile userspace support has already been committed and should be
available via CVS.

Only x86 implements pmdisk_arch_suspend().  So mark pmdisk as ia32-only, to
avoid breaking allyesconfig.

This patch fixes a bug where /proc displays 1 less logical volume than is
actually configured.  This causes problems for some installers.

Use the bh bit test/set infrastructure rather than open-coding everything. 
No functional changes.

Here is a patch to make sysfs optional.  Note that with CONFIG_SYSFS=n you
must specify the boot device's major:minor on the kernel boot command line
with

	root=03:01

For embedded systems, it will save a significant amount of memory during
runtime.  And, it saves 4k from the built kernel image for me.

Based on initial patch from Andreas Gruenbacher there is now better support
for building external modules with kbuild.

The preferred syntax is now:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=$PWD

but the old syntax:
make -C $KERNELSRC SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
will remain supported.

The major differences compared to before are that:
1) No attempt is made to neither check nor update any files in $KERNELSRC
2) Module versions are now supported

During stage 2 of kernel compilation where the modules are built, a new file
Module.symvers is created.  This file contains the version for all symbols
exported by the kernel and any module compiled within the kernel tree.

When the external module is build the Module.symvers file is being read and
symbol versions are used from that file.

The purpose of avoiding any updates in the kernel src is that usually in a
distribution the kernel src will be read-only, and there is no need to try to
update it.  And when building an external module the focus is on the module,
not the kernel.

I expect the distributions will start using something like this:

kernel src - with no generated files. Not even .config:
/usr/src/linux-<version>

Output from build:
/lib/modules/linux-<version>/build

where build is a real directory with relevant output files and the
appropriate .config.

I have some Documentation in the pipe-line, but wants to see how this
approach is received before completing it.

This patch is made on top of the previously posted patch to divide
make clean in three steps.

And you may need to edit the following line in the patch to make it apply:
 %docs: scripts_basic FORCE
to
 %docs: scripts FORCE

From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

Previously 'make clean' deleted all automatically generated files.  The
following patch revert this behaviour, and now 'make clean' leaves enough
behind to allow external modules to be built.

The cleaning is now done in three steps:

make clean     - delete everything not needed for building external modules
make mrproper  - delete all generated files, including .config
make distclean - delete all temporary files such as *.orig, *~, *.rej etc.

This fixes reports about nvidia and vmware build issues.

From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

It seems that the %docs targets only needs scripts_basic.  The following
patch does just that.  This removes its dependency on the existence of a
.config file.
