Based upon information from VIA, this also adds a bunch of placeholder
entries that will get filled in over time when they have been proven
to work with the code with no extra modification.

  
The AGP3 spec allows for >1 AGP bus. This is the first of several patches
from Jeff Hartmann towards a context-using agp_bridge, by replacing
agp_bridge.foo accesses with agp_bridge->foo accesses. For now, there
should be no functional differences, as there is still only a single
agp_bridge_data struct defined.

from certain states.

This simplifies "default_wake_function()", and makes it possible for
signal handling to wake up only the processes it _should_ wake up
without races.

  OK, here is a new patch, I edited the old patch and took out the .ko's
  so now the extension is trimmed instead.

  On 64-bit platforms, issuing write(2) with buffer larger than
  2GB will return -1 and broken errno (such as 2147483640)
  Requested data itself is written correctly.

  That is because generic_file_write() and other relating functions
  store 'ssize_t written' into 'int err'. Written byte is trimmed to
  int and then sign-extended to a negative ssize_t value, which
  wrongly indicates an error.

  (On 64bit platform, current glibc defines SSIZE_MAX as 'LONG_MAX')

  Summary: Wildcards in RTC alarm settings failed to work

  Description:
   The RTC has provision for wildcards when setting the alarm; to
   use them you have to write a value higher than 0xc0 to the
   appropriate hr/min/sec entry.  The driver used 0xff, which is
   fine, but it mistakenly fed the 0xff through BIN_TO_BCD before
   writing them (which is < 0xc0) and so wildcards didn't work.
   (Thanks to Gerhard Kurz for reporting the bug.)

  parport_pc_pnp_driver is const if !CONFIG_PNP, while pnp_register_driver()
  takes a non-const pointer as parameter.

  An alternative fix is to change the prototype of the dummy
  pnp_register_driver(), but this may affect other drivers.

  this patch for drivers/net/irda/irport.c IRDA driver removes one call
  to check_region using request_region instead.  The patch also moves
  the call to request_region to before the allocation of the driver
  instance.
