In particular, load the host early in order to do proper
locking without having to access the command structure later.

This patch arranges for the exception tables to be sorted on most
architectures.  It sorts the main kernel exception table on startup
and the module exception tables when they get loaded.  The main table
is sorted reasonably early - just after kmem_cache_init - but that
could be moved even earlier if necessary.

There is now a lib/extable.c which includes the sort_extable()
function from arch/ppc/mm/extable.c and the search_extable() function
from arch/i386/mm/extable.c, which had been copied to many
architectures.  On many architectures, arch/$(ARCH)/mm/extable.c
became empty and so I have removed it.

There are four architectures which do things differently from i386:
alpha, ia64, sparc and sparc64.  Alpha and ia64 store the offset from
the offset from the exception table entry to the instruction, and
sparc and sparc64 have range entries in the table.  For those
architectures I have added empty sort_extable functions.  The
maintainers for those architectures can implement something better if
they care to.  As it is they are no worse off than before.

Although it is a moderately sizable patch, it ends up with a net
reduction of 377 lines in the size of the kernel source. :)

I have tested this on x86 and ppc with a module that uses __get_user
in an init function, deliberately laid out to get the exception table
out of order, and it works (whereas it oopsed without this patch).

This went missing somewhere.  Here's a patch which puts it back.

Sanitize 66MHz clock use: "enable" 66MHz clock before starting UDMA3/4/5
read/write transfer and "disable" it after finishing transfer.

- fixes timings for non-UDMA3/4/5 operations (correct 33MHz timings are used)

- allows using UDMA3/4/5 modes on a capable drive even if non-UDMA3/4/5 drive
  is present on the same channel

- fixes corner case when one drive on the channel was using UDMA66/100 + LBA48
  (so clock was enabled/disabled for each read/write) and other one was using
  UDMA66/100 + LBA28, it could happen that request on LBA48 drive disabled
  66MHz clock and it was not enabled for the next transfer on LBA28 drive

drive->id is now always present even if no device is attached,
therefore check for drive->present instead.

This fixes bugzilla bug #1431.

Always tune controller PIO timings.  This fixes lockup during PIO access
(ie. 'cat /proc/ide/hda/identify') when Promise BIOS is disabled.

When binding to a link-local address, inet6_bind() and raw6_bind() only
check that an interface is specified and that the address exists, but
they don't check if it actually exists on the specified interface.

Similarly, in datagram_sent_ctl() we don't check for the possibility of a
link-local address when we receive the source address from userspace.

The v3 reiserfs_file_write func doesn't do any write throttling, which
leads to a variety of problems.  Here's a patch that makes
reiserfs_file_write call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited, and exports that
func for module usage.

Remove now-unused 2.4 back-compat code.

gcc miscompiles this. Scary.
