Convert X.25 async driver to have dynamic net_device's.
This driver is a lot like SLIP so the code changes were similar.  
        - Added similar locking to SLIP
        - replaced code that snooped for MTU changes with the
          net_device change mtu callback.
        - cleaned up the statistics by using the net_device_stats structure.

Patch is against 2.6.0-test2.

Not sure if anyone ever uses this.  I tested by bringing up an x.25 async
line using a modified version of slattach.

The conversion from cli/sti to locking in X.25 must not have been tested
on a real SMP with memory debugging enabled.  It OOPS right away if
I do:
        modprobe x25; ifconfig -a

The problem is that it dereferences the socket after it has already been
freed.  The fix for this is to make the call to sock_put, later in
x25_destroy_socket do the free.  Also, need a go to avoid references
in x25_release.

This patch is against 2.6.0-test2.  The problem is that the ax25_destroy_socket
function frees the socket buffer, but then ax25_release dereferences this causing
an OOPS.  To reproduce:
        modprobe ax25; ifconfig -a

Replaced sk_free with sock_put which will free if this is the last reference.

The existing ROSE /proc interface has no module owner, and doesn't check for
bounds overflow.  Easier to just convert it to the seq_file wrapper functions.

This patch is against 2.6.0-test2 (offsets assume earlier patch).

This patch changes the ROSE protocol to allocate an array of pointers and each network device
separately.  This sets up later change where network_device object's are released on last use
which may be after the module is unloaded.

The patch is against 2.6.0-test2 (though this code hasn't changed in a long time).


Allocation is done via alloc_netdev so the dev->priv area is already reserved and
doesn't need to be allocated separately.

ARXESCSI does not have the interrupt routed to the host
machine, so we need to babysit the host interface.  We
do this via a variant of the normal command function in
fas216.c

Fix a bug in the procfs file handling in the EESOX SCSI
driver.

Use the ioremapped region for accesses to SA1111 IRQ
controller registers.

From: Galen Michael Elias <gme@citi.umich.edu>

  This patch fixes two places where the handling of page boundaries was
incorrect and caused to IO_ERR's when it shouldn't have.

1.  In decode_write it was just a small typo.
2.  In decode_compound we avoid using READ_BUF, but don't provide all of
it's functionality, specifically crosses a page boundary.

Though the nfsd module can create this, having it always
there makes auto-loading-on-mount work better.

Note: it was previously recommended that the nfsd filesystem be mounted
on /proc/fs/nfs, which I was never comfortable with.
Henceforth the recommended location will be /proc/fs/nfsd.
nfs-utils 1.0.6 and later will support both.

Such a request would cause the nul terminator to be written
to some other page, and cause havoc.

Also rearrange two tests to avoid the possibility of testing the byte
just past the end of a buffer - doing so can causes an oops with appropriate
kernel-debug config options

The 'acl' folks would like an export flag, so this patch
reserves one and also discards some that aren't used and never
will be (for the named purpose).

NFSEXP_CROSSMNT used to mean something different, so
using a different name reduces the chance of confusion.
Also there is currently a surplus of vowels, so there is
no need to be frugal

When a sunrpc/cache channel is not open for reading, the
cache doesn't bother making and waiting for up-calls.

However it doesn't currently distingish between open-for-read/write
and open-for-write, so an op-for-write will look like a reader
and will cause inappropriate waiting.

This patch checks if a file is open-for-read and will only register
a file as a reader if it really is one.

Resided in arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c and was not used by any of the 
blacklist functions. If it turns out to required, we can add it back later.

So make sure to include it in <asm-i386/hardirq.h> when needed
(ie for the CONFIG_PREEMPT case).

Fix up a few places where we marked __initdata as being const.

This causes a section conflict (init section vs .rodata)

constant values should not end up in the BSS.

We're better off having the compiler put it in the .rodata
section (which it will, thanks to the initializer and the
"const"), since that will result in it being nicely cacheable
in shared SMP caches.

use module_param, removed __setup code,
general cleanup (mostly of comments and trailing spaces, also removed include of config.h),
made the watchdog's timeout a module_param.
