* Added Interrupt Throttle Rate tuning support

* Added method to flush Tx FIFO after link disconnect; the hardware
  hangs on to Tx skb's that were in flight prior to link loss

* Miscellaneous whitespace changes

* Changed "Compaq" branding to "HP"

* Optimized E1000_*_REG macros

* Completely clean Tx descriptor to avoid potential dirty descriptor
  fetching (rare, but possible)

* ISR cleanup; performing single PCI read

* Removed modulus math; decreases CPU utilization, especially on PPC64
  [anton@samba.org]

* Added MII support

* Added support for 82541 and 82547 gigabit ethernet adapters

* Fixed IRQ registration bug; IRQ now registered after resources are
  acquired

* Setting speed/duplex is now it's own routine
* Update ETHTOOL_GEEPROM routine to use new eeprom size variable

* Version, copyright, changelog and MAINTAINERS updates

* Documentation/networking/e1000.txt updates

Patch from Bob Miller <rem@osdl.org>

The get_disk() function should check the return value from kobject_get()
before passing it to to_disk().  This patch fixes this error.

(Acked by Pat)

Patch from Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>

In both 2.5 and 2.4, the fs/nfsd/vfs.c:nfsd_symlink() function calls down to
notify_change().  If notify_change fails for some reason, the error code is
not converted to an nfs no-the-wire error code as is should.  The attached
patches fix that (one for 2.4, the other for 2.5).

Patch from Martin J. Bligh and Dave Hansen

People with ordinary PCs are accidentally turning on NUMA support, and people
with NUMA machines are finding the NUMA option mysteriously disappearing.
This patch sets the defaults to sane things for everyone, and only allows you
to turn on NUMA with both SMP and 64Gb support on (it's useful for the
distros on non-Summit boxes, but not on their UP kernels ;-)).

I've also moved it below the highmem options, as it logically depends on
them, so this makes more sense.  For those searching for NUMA support on
*real* NUMA machine, Dave has provided some guiding comments to show them
what they messed up (it's totally non-obvious).  Hopefully this will stop
people's recent unfortunate foot-wounds (I think UP machines were defaulting
to NUMA on ...  oops).

This makes sysrq facilities available to remote users.

Writing a 'C' to /proc/sysrq-trigger receives the same treatment as typing
sysrq-C on the local keyboard.

Patch from Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>

Adds some commentary to these newly-introduced macros.

Patch from John Levon <levon@movementarian.org>

wli got an oops from this. The callbacks call mod_timer so the timer had
better be setup by then

Patch from "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>

This removes the DO_ACTION stuff.  The downside is that we add some boring
and repetive code.  The upside is that it's simple, and mere mortals can read
it without screwing their brains into a small piece of silly putty and
bouncing it off the wall.  I think that's more important than pure source
code size.

Patch from "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

Adds an oops counter to the oops messages, such as:

	Oops: 0002 [#2]

So we can tell whether oops reports refer to the first oops, or to some
less-interesting followon oops.

Patch from george anzinger <george@mvista.com>

Fix the "large sleep returns EINVAL" problem, and clean a few things up.

Patch from Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>

    There is trivial memleak on error exit path in
    fs/ufs/util.c::_ubh_bread_()

Patch from Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>

   There is trivial memleak on error exit path in nfs get_sb function.

Patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

It extends the maximum amount of memory which may be kmalloced on nommu
machines.  This is needed because these machines cannot perform vmalloc().

We couldn't really find a way of doing this which avoided the ifdef tangle.

Patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

This is from the uClinux patches - there are a few more stubs needed
in nommu.c to get the mmuless plattforms working.

Patch from "Randy.Dunlap" <randy.dunlap@verizon.net>

This patch (to 2.5.64) reduces the stack usage in vt_ioctl()
from 0x334 bytes to 0xec bytes (P4, UP, gcc 2.96).

- optimise file_kill() to not take the global lock if the file is not on a
  list.

- Use optimised file_kill() in a few places rather than open-coding the
  list removal.

- Remove the private freelist.  There's no point in special-casing file
  structure allocations in this way.

- Hence the freeing of files can be moved outside file_list_lock()

- Replace euid test with capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

- Tidy various other things up.

Replace the odd handling of f_list.next = NULL with list_emptiness.

release_mem() is altering the file->f_list lists without taking the
appropriate spinlock.

Patch from Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>

Fixes the lock contention over file_list_lock by simply removing the unneeded
anon_list.  So filp allocation does not need to take a global lock any more.

The use of a spinlock to protect files_stat.nr_files is a bit awkward, but
the alternative is a custom sysctl handler, and isn't much more efficient
anyway.

Patch from Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>

copy_thread could leak memory if you had a io bitmap and passed wrong
arguments to the new clone flags.

Patch from Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>

There are a couple uses of 'p->state=foo' in mm/ which are open coded.
This patch converts them to the proper [__]set_current_state() function.

Patch from Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>

This patch is by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez.

There are a couple uses of 'p->state=foo' in fs/ which are open coded.
This patch converts them to the proper [__]set_current_state() function.

This is a forward-port of Andrea's fix in 2.4.

If a timer handler re-adds a timer to go off right now, __run_timers() will
never terminate.  (I wrote a test.  It happens.)

Fix that up by teaching internal_add_timer() to detect when it is being
called from within the context of __run_timers() and to park newly-added
timers onto a temp list instead.  These timers are then added for real by
__run_timers(), after it has finished processing all pending timers.

- Use list_head functions rather than open-coding them

- Use time comparison macros rather than open-coding them

- Hide some ifdefs

- uninline internal_add_timer().  Saves half a kilobyte of text.

Patch from: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

Removes a ton of dead code from ll_rw_blk.c.  I don't expect we'll be using
this now.

Patch from Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

With ppc64 64bit dynamic executables we have to relocate the contents of the
function descriptor.  Passing in the load address to ELF_PLAT_INIT allows us
to do this.

The patch allows ppc64 to run 64-bit executables and is a no-op for other
architectures.
