Here is another version of the scsi_mid_low_api.txt
document. It adds descriptions of functions supplied
by the mid level for a LLD (lower level driver) to call.
It is also tries to describe the two, alternate
registration scenarios. How do the terms:
"hotplug initialization model" and "passive
initialization model" sound?

After the gendisk changes, the disk name disappeared from the
initialisation methods (sd_spinup et al) because the disk name
is set after the init routines are called.  This moves init to be
after the name is set

it's clearly error-handling specific and allows to mark scsi_new_reset
static

This patch updates udf to the CVS version:
  - removes UDF_RW
  - fixes a extraneous read after write which killed CDRW performance
  - fixes setting the session
  - fix a array index bug in udf_prealloc_extents
  - fix symlinks to correspond to the UDF spec

This introduces the sys_set_thread_address() syscall.  It sets the tid
address (which gets cleared at VM release time) and returns the PID so
that the newly initialized 'initial thread' does not have to do an
additional sys_gettid() call.

It is used to bootstrap a thread group where the original thread user
hasn't had a tid address assigned to it by any parent.

Trivial patch.  We keep a dummy use count for old code which wants to
know its own usecount using GET_USE_COUNT.  It needs to be exported.

Thanks to Doug Ledford for the bug report.

This is the logical counterpoint to the code which marks modules
"[unsafe]" when obsolete (racy) interfaces are used.  Allows "just
remove the damn thing" rmmod -f, and taints the kernel.

Mark it dangerous and experimental in the config file to make this
doubly clear.

This patch implements a generic strcspn.

Sparc64 (and probably others) need all the kernel symbols within
32-bits, which includes the manufactured "__this_module" which refers
to the struct module *.

This changes the interface back to its old style: the arch-specific code
manipulates the init and core sizes, and we call module_alloc() ourselves.

Separates the module loading function prototypes (and elf.h) into
moduleloader.h.  AT_GID in elf.h clashes with xfs.h, but this also
makes module.h less cluttered.

<linux/fs.h> cleanups

memory space it was associated with.

Change from PCI name to generic device name.

The timer code is attempting to replicate the softirq characteristics at
the tasklet level, which is a little pointless.  This patch converts
timers to be a first-class softirq citizen.

fs.h is pulling so much crap in..  No need to include net.h in fs.h if
we move struct sock_alloc to net.h (which already includes fs.h through
skbuf.h and mm.h..).  Fixup the few files in net/ that relied on this,
and the readv/writev implementations that got uio.h through net.h.
