It's not good to dereference pointers before checking
them for null.  Seen once on a faulty device init,
which I don't think I'd ever seen before "in the wild".
(Caused by some other 2.5.68 strangeness.)

The preceding patch to fix this was incomplete, since
it didn't work for the pure debug messages.  And that
was because the DEBUG-vs-CONFIG_USB_DEBUG stuff changed
somewhere.

- nail a couple of warnings

- usbnet is not compilable with gcc-2.95.3.  Fix.

With suggestions from Chritoph Hellwig

- Remove MODULE_USE_COUNT macros
- Add owner member to struct tty_ldisc
- Init tty_ldisc at compile time
- make some functions static

- Remove MODULE_USE_COUNT macros
- Add owner member
- Add tiocmget/tiocmset tty callbacks

- Remove MODULE_USE_COUNT macros
- Add owner member
- Add tiocmget/tiocmset tty callbacks

- New irq handler prototypes.
- Lots of un-enumurated locking fixes/cleanups (thanks in large part to
  spinlock debug compile options in the kernel).
- Other various trivial fixes.

This converts the Alpha architecture to the new IRQ API.  Tested on
Jensen.

into home.transmeta.com:/home/torvalds/v2.5/linux

Update hotplug and pcmcia drivers to the new IRQ API.

Update the input and joystick drivers to the new IRQ API.

Update ISDN for the new IRQ API.

Update the IRDA drivers to the new IRQ API.

spin_lock() does not take a spinlock_t**

parport_serial is calling a couple of 8250 driver functions with no prototypes
in scope.

Turns out it was calling them with too many args, too.

Update 1394 to the new IRQ API

Update video drivers to the new IRQ API.

Almost none of them compile, so it was done on-spec.

Update a couple of media drivers to the new IRQ API.

Some stuff in there doesn't link btw:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `rds_waitread':
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x6c152): undefined reference to `aci_port'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `rds_rawwrite':
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x6c1a3): undefined reference to `aci_port'

Fix up a bunch of char drivers for the new IRQ API.

Update the watchdog drivers to the new IRQ API.

Also, give a couple of irq handlers static scope.

Update the ipmi driver to the new IRQ API

Updates all sound drivers to the new IRQ API.

The patch also fixes

- a return-with-lock-held

- a bunch of warnings and 64-bit bugs (CPU flags must be held in an
  unsigned long)

- jiffies must use unsigned longs

- two functions returning uninitialised values

update rtc driver to new IRQ API

update sym2 for new IRQ API

update drivers/block for new IRQ API.
