This patch updates the matching code to ensure that all requested
devices are present on the card, even if they are in use.  It is
necessary for some ALSA drivers to work properly because early vendors
would have different sets of devices on the same card ids.  It is from
Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

This patch updates file2alias.c to support pnp ids.  It is from
Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

This patch moves the PnP ID declarations to mod_devicetable.h like
most of the other buses.  It is from Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>.

Recently many PnPBIOS bugs have been triggered by static resource
information requests.  This patch makes an effort to further avoid
making them.

Some PnPBIOSes do not follow the specifications with regard to
disabling devices.  This patch preserves the tag bits, while zeroing
the resource settings.  Previously we would zero the entire buffer.
It has been tested and appears to correct the issue while remaining
compatible with unbroken PnPBIOSes.

This patch reorganizes resource flags to ensure that manual resource
settings are properly recognized.  This fix is necessary for many ALSA
drivers.  It also prevents comparisons between unset resource
structures.  The bug was discovered by Rene Herman
<rene.herman@keyaccess.nl>, who also wrote an initial version of this
patch.  I made further improvements to ensure that the pnp subsystem 
was compatible with this initial change.

The serial driver currently fails to unregister its pnp driver upon
module unload.  This patch corrects the problem by calling
pnp_unregister_driver and implementing a proper remove function.

We're actually much better off resetting system call restart at signal
return.

This makes all other resets unnecessary.

Here's the ppc version of it.

This patch ensures that the PPC kernel cancels any pending restarted
system call when it delivers a signal.  This is the PPC counterpart of
the change that has recently gone into i386 and other architectures.

This patch fixes a bug on PPC where the kernel will oops if a process
does a system call and the system call number is out of range.

While fixing that, I noticed that if the process is being ptraced, an
out-of-range system call will not get traced on the way in but will on
the way out.  This patch fixes that too, by making it get traced on
the way in as well as the way out.  It turned out to be less change,
and fewer instructions overall, to do that than to make the
out-of-range system call not be traced at all.

Early ACPI table parse for HPET tables has a bug, where in it
does not do proper set_fixmap for ACPI-HPET table.

This bug was lost in oversight, and was not noticed during
my testing too, as the ACPI-HPET table on all my test
systems happened to be in 1st Gig of memory (where __va()
will do the job).

The 2.4 megaraid driver recognizes the Intel PCI vendor id whereas the
2.6 driver does not.  The attached patch against 2.6.0-test9 adds the
missing two lines from the 2.4 driver to enable this.

The #ifdef CONFIG_SMP around the call to schedule_tail was removed a
long time ago for native ia64, but ia32 emulation continues to have a
#ifdef.  We saw a bunch of weird behavior with respect to getpid() on
multithreaded programs (they behave ok on SMP, but break on UP).

This leaves just the minimal oops protection in place, and
maintains the logic that "if we have a non-ALI northbridge,
we shouldn't touch any of the GPIOs because we don't know
what they might be connected to".

I/O errors on "ls" of certain fragmented files found by at least two

- Mucking with the original skb pointers with push/pull around
  the packet quoting was wrong, muching with these pointers could
  cause problems with others using the SKB.

  It was also buggy, it only handled the case where skb->nh.raw was
  ahead of or equal to skb->data

- The fix is to record skb->nh.raw - skb->data and use this as
  a base offset in calls to skb_copy_and_csum_bits().  This is
  what the pre-IPSEC code did.

This fixes IPV6 oopses and packet corruption on 64-bit platforms

It would oops on any machines that had an ALI northbridge but
didn't have the exact ISA bridge we expected.

The problem with clock_nanosleep() restarting was that the address of
the users return timespec was being saved at the wrong place.  In needs
to be saved in the sys call interface code rather than the
do_clock_nanosleep().  My original tests were a bit weak as they only
did one signal rather than two or more which were required to break it. 

The attached patch fixes the problem.

I also added a few comments about how restart works, and added my name
to the MAINTAINERS list.
