- Rewritten Artop host chip driver by Vojtech Pavlik. His log entries are:

   Cleanup whitespace.

   Remove superfluous chip entries in chip table.  Remove global variables to
   allow more than one controller.  Remove other forgotten stuff.

   This is a new driver for the Artop (Acard) controllers. It's completely
   untested, as I have never seen the hardware. However, I suspect it is much
   less broken than the previous one ...

   UDMA33 controller cannot detect 80-wire cable.

 - Separate ioctl handling out from ide.c. It's big enough.

 - Move atapi_read and atapi_write to the new atapi module.  Fix the declaration
   of those functions. The data buffer did have the void * type!

 - Separate module handling code out from actual transfer handling code in to a
   new module called main.c. Slowly we are at the stage where the code indeed
   has to be organized logically and not just "sporadically" as was the case
   before.

 - Apply patch by Adam Richter for the ide-scsi.c attach method implementation.
   This particular driver is still broken due to generic SCSI layer issues.

 - Apply true modularization patch for qd65xx.c by Samuel Thibault. Here
   are his notes about it:

   Then, patch-modularize-2.[45] is a proposal for modularizing qd65xx.o. As a
   single module, one can choose to insmod it before being able to do some
   hdparm -p /dev/hd[a-d]. But one can't remove it while tuned, since selectproc
   may be needed.

   I am sorry I wasn't able to test it under 2.5 series, lacking a functionning
   kernel for my test computer, but it seemed to work perfectly under 2.4
   series, and patches are almost the same.

 - Move PCI device id's to where they belong. Patch by Vojtech Pavlik.

 - Don't use BH_Lock in ide-tape.c - somehow this driver scares me sometimes.

o Add 'tag' to request.txt doc
o Add bio design etc discussions

They're always the same, so no point in using function pointers.

We rather keep it simple, everything we need is in struct
capi_ctr.

The hardware driver needs to alloc mem anyway, and now can
fill in fields before registering with the CAPI layer.

Basically the same way struct net_device is handled.

In case a driver really wants to put some useful info into
/proc/capi/driver, it could create the proc entry directly.

o Move /proc handling to a file of its own 
o Use <linux/seq_file.h>

	- Remove SCO compatibility trick in rio_fw_ioctl, i.e., riocontrol was returning non
          negative errors, now it is, so no need to turn it negative in rio_fw_ioctl. Thanks
          to Rogier Wolff for pointing this out.

So I missed at least one file which still relied on implicitly exporting
symbols. Now fixed.

The following allows the ramdisk to work on 2.5.18; maybe we need a
comment in do_open() ?

If d_splice_alias() doesn't find the alias dentry, it returns NULL.
Then, msdos_lookup() dereference the NULL, and Oopses. Fixed here.

The vfat_lookup() part is cleanup only.

FORCE is the de-facto standard name for a prequisite to force
recompilation, so instead of using a mix of 'dummy','FORCE' and
'FORCE_RECOMPILE' use 'FORCE' everywhere.

Also, move figuring out the path relative to the top level dir
into Rules.make, instead of calling an external script. 

It's possible to say "make <subdir>", to descend into that subdir
and recursively build things there. This patch provides this
facility generally without the arch Makefiles needing to duplicate
it for arch/$(ARCH)/somedir.

We now have the information which objects are being built
modular / built-in in Rules.make, so use this information instead
of passing flags to the sub makes.

ia64_switch_mode().

Didn't get the net/ conversion quite right, and apparently overlooked
one subdir in sound/. Now fixed.

Use the new

	obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo/

syntax to descend into a subdir and link in the result, if
CONFIG_FOO=y.

Build the headers only when we need them during the build, not always
at 'make dep' time.

We use O_TARGET everywhere else, so let's just convert the remaining
users (They get the implicit built-in.o O_TARGET now)

(plus a bit of rearranging in the ISDN Makefiles) 

If a Makefile defines neither O_TARGET nor L_TARGET, let's assume a
default of 'built-in.o'. The goal of this is, of course, to eventually
get rid of O_TARGET completely.

 - move the contents of bdev_get_queue() into do_open() and
   check_partitions() and cache the result in new field of struct
   block_device

 - clean it at the same places that reset ->bd_op, etc.

 - make bdev_get_queue() return cached pointer.

 - kill the last caller of get_hardsect_size() (switching it to
   bdev_hardsect_size()).

 - kill blk_get_queue() and switching to bdev_get_queue()
