      The patch moves:
      
      	* joystick drivers from drivers/char/joystick to drivers/input/joystick
      	* gameport drivers from drivers/char/joystick to drivers/input/gameport
      	* serio drivers from drivers/char/joystick to drivers/input/serio
      
      I don't think the joystick drivers should stay in char, because they're
      NOT character device drivers (check for register_chrdev, none to be found).
      
      It also fixes build problems with sound driver gameport support.

      [PATCH] 2.5.3 ISDN work around buggy hw · 88d3c6a5
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      the appended patch works around a bug in the PLX9050 chip. This chip is
      used in various PCI ISDN adapters (it's an PCI interface chip) and has
      an erratum when the BAR 0/1 has bit 7 set (the size of the region is
      0x80, so aligning it to 0x80 is legal and really happens for people).
      
      This workaround has been tested by a user who hit this problem with a
      Gazel card. Basically the same fix has been done for Elsa cards, but it's
      untested.

        I've found that multiple level initcalls went into kernel

      which converted lib.a => lib.o, and apply this one.

      Petr Vandrovec authored
      Linus, this reverts limit for request size from 10KB to unlimited.
      Although no released nbd version supports it, it is certainly better to
      add support to servers than cripple clients if incompatibility does
      not matter.

      [PATCH] Drop reliance on file->f_dentry in NFS reads/writes · bcfb332a
      Trond Myklebust authored
      Following a request by David Chow on linux fsdevel, this patch causes
      NFS read and write requests to take the inode from page->mapping->host
      rather than relying on file->f_dentry->d_inode. Apparently this will
      simplify some work he is doing on another filesystem.
      
      In any case, it cleans up the current mix of sometimes doing one
      thing, sometimes the other (historical cruft), and puts NFS client
      behaviour on par with what is done in other filesystems...

      [PATCH] Fix spurious ETXTBSY errors due to late release of struct file · b67b3c16
      Trond Myklebust authored
        The following patch should fix a problem of ETXTBSY sometimes
      occurring if one tries to run a file straight after compilation.
      
      The problem is that both NFS read and write requests can currently
      hold a count on the struct file. This is done partly so as to be able
      to pass along the RPC credential (which is cached in the struct file),
      and partly so that asynchronous writes can report any errors via the
      file->f_error mechanism.
      
      The problem is that both the read and write requests may persist even
      after file close() occurs. For O_RDONLY files, this is not a problem,
      but for O_WRONLY, and O_RDWR files, the fact that the struct file is
      not released until the last call to nfs_release_request() means that
      inode->i_writecount does not necessarily get cleared upon file
      close().
      
      The following patch fixes both these issues.
      
        - NFS read requests no longer hold the struct file. They take a
          count on the the RPC credential itself.
      
        - NFS write requests still hold the struct file, since they want to
          report errors to sys_close() using the file->f_error mechanism.
          However they are made to release the page, credential, and file
          structures as soon as the write is completed instead of following
          the current practice of waiting for the last nfs_page request
          release.

      [PATCH] NFS lookup code rewrite w/o open(".") fix... · 0d86f2ec
      Trond Myklebust authored
        This is a resend of the NFS lookup code rewrite, but with the open(".")
      VFS fix removed. (I'll resend the 'uses d_revalidate()' version
      separately after a suitable delay to allow for comments.)
      
        Issues fixed by this patch:
      
       - Use the directory mtime in order to give us a hint when we should
         check for namespace changes.
      
       - Add support for the 'nocto' flag, in order to turn off the strict
         attribute cache revalidation on file open().
      
       - Simplify inode lookup. Don't check the 'fsid' field (which appears
         to be buggy in too many servers in order to be reliable). Instead
         we only rely on the inode number (a.k.a. 'fileid') and the
         (supposedly unique) filehandle.
