      [PATCH] PnP Rewrite V0.9 - 2.5.43 · f72e5c5c
      Adam Belay authored
      The included patch is essentially a Linux Plug and Play Support rewrite.  It
      contains many significant improvements, including the following:
      
      
      1.)  A Global Plug and Play Layer
          - Now drivers do not have to worry about which plug and play
            protocol they are using.  Calls are made directly to the Linux
            Plug and Play Layer and then forwarded to the appropriate
            protocol.
          - This will make it very easy to integrate ACPI PnP support when
            it's ready
      
      
      2.)  A complete Plug and Play BIOS driver
          - The Plug and Play BIOS now supports reading and writing of
            resource configurations.
          - It is now possible to enable disabled PNPBIOS devices.  Therefore
            the user can safely enable PnP OS support in their BIOS.
      
      
      3.)  Driver Model Integration
          - The entire plug and play layer is integrated into the driver model
          - The user interface is housed here
          - PnP protocols are listed under the bus "pnp"
      
      
      4.)  A powerful global resource configuration interface
          - The user can use this to activate PnP devices for legacy and
            user-level drivers
          - See the documentation for how to configure devices.
      
      5.)  Automatic resource allocation for needed devices
      
      
      6.)  A PnP device name database
      
      And many more improvements.
      
      This patch also adds me to the maintainers list, considering the current
      PnP maintainer has been inactive for over 2 years now.

      [ARM] Acorn serial port driver update · 5425c22f
      Russell King authored
      This cset combines the Atomwide and The Serial Port 16550 driver
      modules into one "8250_acorn.c" driver.  This new module takes full
      advantage of the LDM-based expansion card facilities.

      [PATCH] Serial driver stuff · 33c0d1b0
      Russell King authored
      The serial layer is restructured to allow less code duplication (and
      hence bug duplication) across various serial drivers.  Since ARM adds
      six extra serial drivers, maintaining six copies of serial.c was not
      my idea of fun.
      
      Therefore, we've ended up with a core serial driver, which knows about
      the interactions with the tty layer, and low-level hardware drivers,
      which know all about the hardware.  The interface between the two is
      described in "Documentation/serial/driver".
      
      This patch completely removes the old serial.c driver and its associated
      configuration options, as you requested at KS2002.  We keep a certain
      amount of configuration compatibility with the per-architecture serial.h
      file for the moment; this *will* be killed in the next round of patches.
      The biggest user of this is x86, and since I don't have an x86 box to
      test this stuff on, I think the changes are best kept separate.
