The preempt_count debug check that went into 2.5.8-pre1 already caught a
simple case in kjournald.  Specifically, kjournald does not drop the BKL
when it exits as it knows schedule will do so for it.

For the sake of clarity and exiting with a preempt_count of zero, the
attached patch explicitly calls unlock_kernel when kjournald is exiting.

This simple check was first suggested by Andrew Morton.  Pretty basic -
whines if a task exits with a nonzero preempt_count value.

I put an identical check in the 2.4 preempt-kernel patch and - sure
enough - it was found that XFS essentially disables preemption as it
destroys data structures containing locks without first unlocking.  The
SGI folks are working on that.

Anyhow, its a quick and clean solution to debugging potential problems.
Patch is against 2.5.7, please apply.

Hopefully this is all of them..

dev->rmem_{start,end} in skfp and smctr drivers.

Updated the CREDITS, Config.help, Config.in, and Makefile to be up to date
with the last round of USB changes.

  
   - An oopsable bug affecting unlink of interrupt
     transfers. Fix mirrors one done ages ago for ISO.
     (Original patch by Matt Hughes)
   - Better cleanup on init failure (Matthew Frederickson)
   - fixes the problem Stuart reported, where interrupt urbs
     couldn't be unlinked from their completion handlers, and it
     also makes OHCI return the correct status code for async
     unlink requests (-EINPROGRESS not zero).

added safe_serial driver
tweaks to the driver done by greg@kroah.com to get things to work on 2.5

added tiusb driver
some tweaks to the driver done by greg@kroah.com

The patch ensures that uhci.c doesn't use urb->status after the
completion callback if it doesn't need to.

fix the "small packet" problem and debug messages cleanup

removed CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV #ifdefs in the driver.

one more step closer to killing off ether=

once eth0 was found) - it is long since anyone shipped or built kernels
with all the ISA drivers compiled in.

This change will eliminate the need for adding "ether=...." at the boot 
prompt for a lot of users who build their own kernels and have multiple
ISA ethercards at standard (i.e. probed) I/O addresses.

Also got sick of counting zeros, so did a struct init cleanup,
i.e. {1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,9}  -> {one:1, nine:9}

based net cards and hence these should be moved into the dev->priv
for these cards.

This patch adds rmem_start and rmem_end to dev->priv in 8390.h, and does:

        s/dev->rmem_/ei_local.rmem_/g   on all 8390 shared mem drivers.

the rmem_end field to store an I/O port address in.  As rmem_end is going
away, this does a s/rmem_end/mem_start/g since mem_start is otherwise 
unused in sb1000.

(probably as a result of copying skeleton or similar).  Removed this as 
a step in the goal to remove rmem_start/end from netdev struct entirely.

Whitespace cleanup

Update a few stale comments

Bump version to 4.2.8-k1, use EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS, minor changes
to ensure that reported link information is always correct, 
remove magic numbers in calls to memset.

ProcFS code updates, check for page boundaries.

change_mtu cleanup.  Allows frame sizes up to 2k on the 82542
instead of limiting the MTU to 1500, so that the 82542 can be 
used with software 802.1q VLANs.

Minor receive cleanup, queue empty buffers to the hardware in 
groups of 16 to reduce unneeded fetches and improve PCI 
efficiency.

Adaptive Inter-Frame Spacing to reduce collisions and improve 
half duplex transmit performance.

Replace LIST_LEN macro use with the standard ARRAY_SIZE.
