  A global variable should not be named 'objects' like in
  irias_object.c. This patch puts it into the right
  namespace.
  Also, strndup() is made static.

  de_get and de_put are used only in the file they are

  The opti92x driver has global variables named 'rates' and 'bits'
  that pollute the namespace. This makes them static.

  net/irda/qos.c exports some variables that are not used

  Added and #if/#endif pair to "remove" the un-used unknown_chipset declaration.

  Comments in generic.c indicate that unknow_chipset this will be used again
  in the future.

  A global variable should not be called 'log', this makes it static

  The function init_irq is only used in ide-probe.c, so it should
  better be static.

  balloc[] and tails[] are used only in the file they are defined

  Variables named 'io' and 'dma' should not be global

  A global variable should not be called 'verbose'. It can

  this proposed patch for drivers/scsi/cpqfcTSinit.c scsi driver for
  Linux removes two calls to check_region using request_region instead

  This is patch number 28 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
  part of the kernel janitors project.

  VT support requires drivers/char/keyboard.c which makes function
  calls implemented in drivers/input/, so that attempting to set
  CONFIG_INPUT=m or just not setting CONFIG_INPUT will result in a
  compile error if CONFIG_VT is on.

  this patch for drivers/ide/legacy/umc8672.c ide 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 31 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
   part of the kernel janitors project.

  The pas2 driver has a global variable named 'lock', which
  pollutes the global namespace. This patch adds a pas_
  prefix. The same is done for 'translate_code'.

  The i8k driver has global variables named 'force' and 'power_status'

  Kill duplicate extern char _stext (already declared globally 14 lines before)

From:  Chris Wilson <chris@qwirx.com>

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

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

  - added a static spinlock to protect bpq_devices
  - changed cli/sti and {save,restore}_flags to taking the spinlock and
    disabling interrupts with spin_lock_irqsave
  - included my previous patch for proc_net_create, but as a separate hunk,
    so if you've already applied then just ignore the rejected hunk.

  I have verified that the patched driver compiles without warnings, but
  since I don't have the hardware I can't test it. Please treat with
  caution.

The below does two things:
(i) do not try to spin up a CF reader without media
(ii) be careful when asking for the cache parameters mode page

[do not ask for this page when no media are present:
it is meaningless, and some devices react badly if we do;
check the reply so that we do not read past the end of the reply;
first give a small transport length - some USB devices are unhappy
if we ask for more than they provide]

This cleans up the delay code by moving the timer-specific
implementations into the timer_ops struct.  Thus, rather then doing:

	if(x86_delay_tsc)
		__rdtsc_delay(loops);
	else if(x86_delay_cyclone)
		__cyclone_delay(loops);
	else if(whatever....

we just simply do:

	timer->delay(loops);

Making it much easier to accommodate alternate time sources.

This creates an empty timer_opt structure (timer_none) which is then
used as a default initializer to the timer pointer.  This lets us avoid
having to check before dereferencing the timer in future code.

This patch moves BUG() and PAGE_BUG() from asm/page.h into asm/bug.h.

We also fix up linux/dcache.h, which included asm/page.h for the sole
purpose of getting the BUG() definition.

Since linux/kernel.h and linux/smp.h make use of BUG(), asm/bug.h is
included there as well.

In addition, linux/jbd.h did not contain a clear path with which to
obtain the archtecture BUG() definition, but did contain its own
definition.

The following patch adds an explicit no list of arches who do not want
to have the "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" RTC driver asked.  This
adds PPC32 (who for a long time had their own 'generic' RTC driver, and
then have adopted the genrtc driver) and PARISC (who have always used
the genrtc driver).  Per request of Peter Chubb, IA64 is on this list as
well.

The problem is that on some archs there is no hope of this driver
working, and having it compiled into the kernel can cause many different
problems.  On the other hand, there are some arches for whom that driver
does work, on some platforms.  So having an explicit yes list would
result in some rather ugly statements.
