this eliminates an infinite loop in rpciod if an RPC client's reference
counter accidentally goes negative.  i've been running this under load
since 2.5.30 with no ill effects.

This adds direct write and read from/to the user space to/from the SCSI
adapter.  If something (e.g., too high address) prevents direct
transfer, the existing driver buffer code is used.  The patch contains
functions to map and pin the user buffer pages so that this patch is not
dependent on kiobufs.  Similar functions are already used in sg.c.

Please import this patch. It updates the Config.help entry (which some
people requested) and cleans up coding a bit. No functional changes.

GCC can only inline functions when the function definition comes before
its use.

Recompute keybit when keycode table changes.
Stricter checks on input keycode/scancode values.

as functions interfacing to the input core. PC-Speaker handling is
moved to a separate file. Uinput is moved to a input/misc directory.

Greg Banks:

A very significant space is missing from an "if" expression
in drivers/video/Config.in.

Greg Banks:

Symbols CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NS87415, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRM290, CONFIG_DSCC4, and
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_SAFE_PADDED had spurious (EXPERIMENTAL) tags in their
banners.
Symbol CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT was missing an (EXPERIMENTAL) tag in it banner.

The mips and parisc ports both defined 'Loadable module support' menus,
despite including an identical menu from init/Config.in.

Greg Banks:

The symbol CONFIG_SOUND_CMPCI_FMIO is declared with a "hex" statement,
immediately preceded by a "define_hex" with the same value as the
default value from the "hex".  In config and xconfig, this has no effect;
in menuconfig it prevents the user selecting any value other than the
default.

Greg Banks:

The symbol CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK was defined twice identically
in the same file...three lines apart.

Greg Banks:

A number of dep_bools and dep_tristates have architecture constants
(e.g. CONFIG_X86) as dependencies.  Such symbols have the property
that their value is constant for any particular arch tree, and is
either "y" or "", neither of which have any effect as dependencies,
so the dependencies have no effect.  This patch removes some of them.

Greg Banks:

The menu 'AX.25 network device drivers' contained as its first
item a comment with identical banner.  This is pointless duplication,
but more to the point it confused gcml2 unnecessarily.

This patch simply ensures that 'setting the MTRR' is atomic.  This is
important since HT CPU's may share some MTRR state.

- Do not use PC-relative branch/call in Ultra-III+ parity error
trap vectors, we patch this into the trap table and then the PC-relative
values are wrong.
- When we take an irrecoverable trap at tl > 0, save away the full
trap stack to the kernel stack, then log it from the C code handler.

- Some places need to include sched.h because the already include ptrace.h
- CLONE_{SET,CLEAR}TID support
- Clear PT_DTRACE when execve succeeds.
- Add security bits to ptrace
- Add sys_security to syscall tables.

- Some places need to include sched.h because the already include ptrace.h
- CLONE_{SET,CLEAR}TID support
- Clear PT_DTRACE when execve succeeds.
- Add security bits to ptrace and sys32_execve
- Add sys_security to syscall tables.

- futex uses int as its atomic word type, we pass in user_tid
to the futex routines, so the types must match

- flush_dcpage_cheetah sized wrongly, it is 11 not 9 insns now
- xcall_report_regs and xcall_promstop should use etrap_irq not etrap
