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.

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.

These drivers are now part of drivers/serial

the global irq-lock debugging

cpqfcTSinit.c:
  Fix usage of Scsi_Cmnd->request so it will compile.

 - introduce new type of context-switch locking, this is a must-have for
   ia64 and sparc64.

 - load_balance() bug noticed by Scott Rhine and myself: scan the
   whole list to find imbalance number of tasks, not just the tail
   of the list.

 - sched_yield() fix: use current->array not rq->active.

Switch to set_current_state() and move before add_wait_queue().
Updated README from master HTML file.
Fixed devfs entry leak in <devfs_readdir> when *readdir fails.

The patch below consolidates some duplicate code, reduces some
indentation, and adds a freeing of a page in mem_read() that could be left
unfreed, as far as I can see.

Heading Rusty off at the pass...

This also changes and array initialiser...

get_spare recently became static and no-one told md_k.h

Sync_sbs tries to access the ->sb for the first rdev of an mddev.
This can oops as the wrong arg is given to list_entry, and also
if a define was faound to be failed, as failed devices have their ->sb
removed.  But that removal isn't necessary, so now an rdev will always
have an ->sb.

Define container_of which cast from member to struct with some type checking.

This is much like list_entry but is cearly for things other than lists.

List_entry now uses container_of.

  new vendor/device ID;
  redundant check removed from probe();

Dawson Engler's Stanford Checker reported this missing unlock to
LKML 11 July (amongst "56 potential lock/unlock bugs in 2.5.8").

Found by Simon Trimmer <simon@veritas.com>: shmem_file_write
failure path duplicates kunmap, causing oops holding kmap_lock.

Trivial: vfs_link in 2.5 checks S_ISDIR first, shmem_link
need not repeat it, but test crept back in at some stage.

Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> reported "Bug with shared
memory" to LKML 14 May: hang due to schedule in truncate_list_pages
called from .... shm_destroy holding shm_lock spinlock.  shm_destroy
needs that lock for shm_rmid, but it can be safely unlocked once link
from id to shp has been removed.

Here is a quick fix.  I would like to synchronize with the irq handler
changes as well.  Becouse right now I know that preemption is killing
the disk subsystem when moving data between disks using different
request queues...  In esp.  It get's me in to do_request() with a queue
in unplugged state.  (Not everything is my fault, after all :-).
