The accounting works now, but I still think this last bit should be
added as well.  This makes absolutely sure we only account fs requests,
at both ends. Better safe than sorry.

The recent change from Andi breaks here: tmp.name is user pointer, not
array in __sysctl_args, and so it is better to access it through
copy_from_user instead of directly.

Didn't turn up anything particularly nasty, but it does clean up
usage of a few types that are passed around.
- Do the casts in the ioctl handler instead.
- Remove unused variables.
- __user annotations.

Again, untested in AGP3.x mode.

into tetrachloride.(none):/mnt/raid/src/kernel/2.5/agpgart

This (and a few other SiS chipsets) are AGP 3 compliant. AFAIK, none of
these have been tested in AGP3 mode, but they should work just fine in
AGP2.x mode at least.

From David Mosberger

This GART isn't actually a PCI device, which the AGP core/DRI expects it to be.
This patch gets the relevant info out of ACPI tables, and fakes the rest.

from 2.4-ac - it seems to cause hangs for people.

This tunes the volume control of maestro sound boards: The log
conversion seems not good for PCM and CD.  The volume buttons
incrementing / decrementing the main volume by 10 on 100 is too much,
much better set it to 5.

Memory leak fix: the allocated areas weren't referenced any more once the
original error path returned.

It used to depend on us having a signed type (which in turn is
incorrect for the later division).

alpha, ia64, PA, sparc already export the existing "utimes()" system
call (using 'timeval[2]' instead of 'utimebuf' like the old "utime()").

Make it available on x86 too..

Some minimum critical fixes for x86-64:

- Make it compile for uni processor again
- Tell BIOS about long mode
- Fix 32bit IPC (broken by earlier patch)

Deprecate the numerical sysctl name space. People can use /proc/sys
instead.

The numeric name space was never well maintained and especially
in distribution kernels is not very consistent (everybody has their
own extensions, conflicting with others). It's also a great
source of rejects when merging patches.  The name-based /proc/sys
is a much better interface for this, which people should use instead.

Discussion of this on l-k found no advocate for it, so it seems to not
be very popular anyways.

This patch deprecates numerical name space accesses to make it possible
to remove them in the future. The only exception is kernel.version,
which is used by glibc (this one has to be maintained forever)
