- fix copy_{to,from}_user error handling (thanks to Rusty for pointing this out)

Not a big change, but make provides the current directory,
so why not use it ;-)

Don't print the actual command to call make in a subdir, make will
print 'Entering directory <foo>' anyway, so we don't lose that
information.

This Makefile would add irlan/irlan.o to $(obj-m) when selected as
modular, which is wrong. The module will get compiled just fine after
descending into that subdirectory anyway (whereas in the current
directory we have no idea how to build it).

Make CFLAGS_foo.o work also when generating preprocessed (.i) and
assembler (.s) files.
  
Same for AFLAGS_foo.o.

.<object>.flags are gone, but we have .<object>.cmd instead now and
surely don't want to add the to the repository.

This patch makes nfsd_open use init_private_file to initilize
the file pointer the caller had allocated on stack.  In addition
a number of small cleanups:

 - format comments to be readable on 80char ANSI terminal
 - don't fop_get (and fop_put in nfsd_close), out file already
   is a reference to the inode so they can't go away.
 - don't decrement f_count on failure - it won't be checked anyway
 - don't check for filp->f_op n nfsd_close, it can't be NULL

Separate checks for !FS_REQUIRES_DEV and missing fsid option
and missing export operations, second check for missing export
operations and a small cleanup as side effect.

With this patch raid5 works.  There is still some more
work to though.

- uses bio instead of buffer_head
- stripe cache is now a fixed size.
   If read requests are smaller, we read the whole block anyway
   If write reqeusts are smaller, we pre-read.
- stripe_head is now variable sized with an array of structures at
  the end.  We allocate extra space depending on how many devices
  are in the array.
  stripe_head has it's very own slab cache.
- store and use bdev for each device in array

by-passing the cache for reads is currently disabled.  I need to
think through the implications (and implementation) of allowing
large bion that are larger than the stripe cache to go directly
to the device (if it isn't failed of-course).

- remove md_ prefix from some calls that used to be
  defined in md_compatability.h

- remove "raid5_" prefix from some static functions,
  in line with recent changes to raid1.c

?? should cpu_has_mmx be moved to in processor.h ?

The current code hits the page cache for the block device
which requires memory allocation which can sometimes cause
a deadlock (if it blocks the raid5d thread).

This code takes the page that holds the superblock, and
passes it to submit_bh in a suitable bio wrapper.

I under-allocated the space that RPC needs for transmit on a UDP
socket.   We need lots of space to be allowed (though we may not use
much) so that a lack of un-commited transmit space will not cause new
requests to be blocked.

This fixes reiserfs compile warnings for a few bitops calls.

This patch5 changes reiserfs_new_inode to end the transaction on errors
(like -ENOSPC), so that it can call iput without deadlocking against the
journal.

Currently sys_read/sys_pread and sys_write/sys_pwrite basically contain
lots of duplication of the same checks/code.

This moves all that into vfs_read/vfs_write helpers that have the same
prototypes as the read/write file operations.  In addition I have
choosen to export these interfaces to module so people doing inkernel
file reading/writing can use these instead of duplicating the checks
(which is very likely to be done wrong).

A long time ago there was thread group code that at exit time tried to
reparent a task to another task in the thread group.  I discovered a major
race condition in this code, and submitted a patch that removed it.  This
patch was accepted in, I think, 2.4.12.  The code reappeared in 2.4.18 and
sometime in the 2.5 tree before 2.5.15, breaking applications that use
thread groups.

As part of chasing this down, I figured out a way to remove the race
condition while still preserving this behavior.  I've attached a patch
against 2.5.15 that fixes it.

This patch fixes the deliberate BUG_ON() on failed sgtable allocations.
I left that in because I was too lazy to fix it at the time...

Basically make scsi_init_io() return 0 on failure (like before) but this
time allow us to recover. scsi_init_io() will end_request on a fatal
condition. So now just mark the device/host as starved if needed, and
leave the request at the front of the queue for next service.

This patch fixes the behavior of vfatfs when the file name contains 0x05.

New driver for Micro Memory NVRAM module

This driver handles up to 16 PCI based NVRAM cards
from MicroMemory.
Each card appears like a block device, and can be partitioned
using any standard partitioning tool.  Upto 15 partitions are
supported.

This driver needs its own major device number and so allocates
one using register_blkdev.
