  As part of the Linux Kernel Janitors project, I would like to submit my
  patch for sa1100_ir.c.

  The document Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt says that cli() should no
  longer be used to disable interrupts. This patch removes the last
  references to cli() and {save,restore}_flags, changing them to
  local_irq_save and local_irq_restore respectively.

  This patch for saphir.c isdn driver for Linux removes one call to
  check_region using request_region instead

  I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested at all (I hope I got
  it right).  This patch removes all references to check_region in this
  driver.

  This is patch number 11 in a series of check_region patches I am doing
  as part of the kernel janitors project.

  As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
  functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error
  return, I would like to submit my patch to drivers/sgi/char/usema.c

  This module did not check the return code of misc_register. I found Uttam
  Pawar's patch for this on GeoCrawler
  (http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/9221/2002/8/0/9246517/), but it
  doesn't appear to have been applied. This patch basically does exactly the
  same as his, so all credit is due to him.

  This patch for Documentation/DocBook/videobook.tmpl removes two
  references check_region in the documentation using request_region
  instead.

  This patch removes all references to check_region in videobook.tmpl

  Since it looks like Linus isn't going to rip the code out...

  As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
  functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error
  return, I would like to submit my patch to drivers/macintosh/via-pmu*.c.

  There is one call in each file which calls misc_register without checking
  the return value. The attached patch should fix that.

  This patch for drivers/isdn/hisax/avm_pci.c isdn driver removes one
  call to check_region using request_region instead

  I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested. This patch removes all
  references to check_region in this driver.

  This is patch number 24 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
  part of the kernel janitors project.

  This is version 2 of my proposed patch for fdc-io.c tape driver for
  Linux.  It

  	1) removes three calls to check_region using request_region instead.
  	2) in case of fatal error calls release_region to liberate region
	   resources already allocated (as pointed out by Matthew Wilcox my
	   first patch wasn't doing that)

  Remark regarding allocation of regions in this driver:

  If BROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER is defined the driver keeps going even if it
  can't allocate one or more region resources.  The driver does not
  store information concerning which allocations succeeded and which
  failed.  When and if subroutine fdc_release_regions is called it will
  then try to release all regions it normally reserves.  I don't know if
  this could cause any trouble in some (rare) situations?

  I don't have this hardware so only compilation is tested.  This patch
  removes all references to check_region in this driver.

  This is patch number 13 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
  part of the kernel janitors project.

  This patch for isdn/hisax/s0box.c driver for Linux removes one call to
  check_region using request_region instead.

  I don't have this hardware so I hope I got it right.  This patch

  This is patch number 14 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
  part of the kernel janitors project.

  As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
  functions which call misc_register and don't check for an error return, I
  would like to submit my patch to drivers/parisc/kernel/perf.c

  This patch simply causes the function to printk() an error and return the
  error code from misc_register() if it fails. I hope this is the right
  thing to do. I moved it slightly earlier in the function so I wouldn't
  have to worry about undoing the side effects of perf_patch_images().

Remove use of depricated linux/malloc.h from 68360serial driver.

  This patch for driver drivers/isdn/hisax/bkm_a8.c for Linux removes
  one call to check_region using request_region instead.

x86 always seems to include asm/page.h, PPC (and presumably others)
don't.

  Remove unused prototype for init_modules()

  This patch has been available fro review on the janitor's mailing list
  for some days without any negative comments (or comments for that
  matter).  This patch recitifies the use of the obsolete cli() and
  sti() calls.

  This patch for drivers/isdn/hisax/asuscom.c isdn driver for Linux
  removes one call to check_region using request_region instead

  I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested.  This patch removes
  all references to check_region in this driver.

  This is patch number 26 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
  part of the kernel janitors project.

  As part of my work on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, cleaning up on
  functions which call create_proc_*_entry and don't check for an error
  return, I would like to submit my patch to arch/mips64/sgi-ip27/ip27-rtc.c.

  This patch adds a printk() if misc_register fails (since that causes the
  driver to fail to load, it should be logged somewhere), and checks that
  create_proc_read_entry returned a valid handle. ENOENT seems to me like a
  good error code to return in this case, although EBUSY is a candidate too.

  This patch for driver drivers/telephony/ixj.c for Linux removes four
  calls to check_region using request_region instead.

  I don't have this hardware so I hope I got it right.  This patch
  removes all but one reference to check_region in this driver.

  Working on the Linux Kernel Janitors project, and following up on Mikal
  Still's work there, I'd like to submit a patch for the Macintosh ANS
  LCD driver.

  I believe from Mikal's Patches page that his previous patch was rejected
  due to not cleaning up properly. I believe my patch addresses this issue,
  by calling iounmap() to free the IO remapping created by ioremap() earlier
  in the function, if the call to misc_register() fails for any reason.

  Unfortunately I don't know how to get this driver to compile on my
  machine, and therefore I can't even check that my patch compiles. If you
  can advise me how to set my machine up to dompile these drivers, then
  please get in touch =) I hope I didn't make any stupid mistakes in this
  patch either.

  This patch for drivers/isdn/hisax/mic.c driver for Linux removes one

  This is patch number 18 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as

  I was doing some cleaning in the parisc files, and took a look at some
  arch indep ones btw.

  This fixes a warning.

  This modifies the following files: -

  Documentation/Docbook/Makefile - Fix dependencies generating parportbook
  which caused tex to choke.

  Documentation/Docbook/kernel-api.tmpl - Remove references to source
  files which do not contain kernel-doc comments, which caused "errors" in
  the generated documentation.

  include/linux/init.h - fix a trivial function comment to correct the
  generated documentation.

  This patch partially addresses one of the issues on the Kernel Janitor
  TODO list -

  "someone who knows DocBook, or is willing to learn, should go through
  and clean up Documentation/DocBook to kill all the warnings that occur
  during "make pdfdocs" and generally make the documents look nicer, and
  render smaller PDFs."
