On failure register_blkdev doesn't necessarly return -ENODEV .. it can return -ENOMEM too.
This patch add a little better audit of register_blkdev.

Patch from Julie DeWandel.

This patch has solved the crashes observed during TPC-C runs on the
16-way box.  (I'm confident it will fix the other reported cases as
well.)

The race is the setting of timer->base to NULL, by del_timer() or
__run_timers().  If new_base == old_base in __mod_timer() then we do not
re-check timer->base after getting the lock.  (the only case where we do
not have to re-check the base is in the !old_base case, but the else
branch also includes the old_base==new_base case.)

The __run_timers() case made the lock_timer() patch not work fully - we
cannot use lock_timer() in __run_timers() due to lock ordering.

This patch adds a SELINUX entry to the MAINTAINERS file.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

This patch reworks the SELinux module code that handles inodes initialized
before the policy is initially loaded to also cover the case where a pseudo
filesystem such as selinuxfs or nfsd directly populate themselves.

The list of inode security structures is split into per-superblock lists
associated with each superblock security structure, and the initialization
is performed by superblock_doinit.

This patch takes into account requests from various LKML members for the
mandocs output to be more terse.  Information about the copyright, and
formatting of the man page is moved into a comment at the start of the
groff output.

verify maximum number of bits before using set_bit

Touching a page via follow_page() counts as a reference so we should be
either setting the referenced bit in the pte or running mark_page_accessed().

Altering the pte is tricky because we haven't implemented an atomic
pte_mkyoung().  And mark_page_accessed() is better anyway because it has more
aging state: it can move the page onto the active list.

If POKETEXT modifies the page it needs to tell the VM about it.

While initializing the adm1021 device, the driver is performing a conversion
from fixed point to Celcius on values that were declaired as Celcius.  On my
Dell Precision 220 this results in a shutdown after a couple of minutes
running.

The latch simply removes the conversion.
