9029bd7a42 DocBook/drm: The word `so-called'; I do not think it connotes what you think it connotes
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

    So-called \So"-called`\, a.
       So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with
       doubtful propriety).

  From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

    so-called
         adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help"
               [syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}]

My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant'
or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of
'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings).

In English, it would be better to use:

  what is called

or a better translation of 'so gennant':

  so named

dc880abef7 drm: use noop_llseek
The drm device drivers currently allow seeking on the
character device but never care about the actual
file position.

When we change the default llseek operation to be
no_llseek, calling llseek on a drm device would
return an error condition, which is an API change.

Explicitly setting noop_llseek lets us keep the
current API.
