0fd56f6789 [PATCH] drivers/net/hamradio/baycom_epp.c: cleanups
The times when tricky goto's produced better codes are long gone.

This patch should express the same in a better way.

(Also fixes the final gcc-4.0 x86 compile error)

c4eb2a9331 [PATCH] ppc64: remove decr_overclock
Now that we have HZ=1000 there is much less of a need for decr_overclock.
Remove it.

Leave spread_lpevents but move it into iSeries_setup.c.  We should look at
making event spreading the default some day.

6dc2f0c7df [PATCH] ppc64: cleanup iseries runlight support
The iseries has a bar graph on the front panel that shows how busy it is.
The operating system sets and clears a bit in the CTRL register to control
it.

Instead of going to the complexity of using a thread info bit, just set and
clear it in the idle loop.

Also create two helper functions, ppc64_runlatch_on and ppc64_runlatch_off.

Finally don't use the short form of the SPR defines.

7e3b11a9be [PATCH] ext3: fix list scanning in __cleanup_transaction
Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the
checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather
unfavorable conditions).

The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test

	} while (jh!=last_jh);

Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on
the list).  As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we
are safe to just remove the assignment in the end.  It can happen that 'jh'
will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter
as we never *dereference* the pointer.

00ea81459c [PATCH] ext3: fix log_do_checkpoint() assertion failure
Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint().  We might fail
to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint
lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk.  The patch was
confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users.

When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list.
Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

5f64f73957 [PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree
This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:

 - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
   exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
   simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
   /proc with random result...

 - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
   address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
   buggy and didn't always work anyway.

 - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
   node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
   the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
   dentry and inode cache bloat.

This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

44e4665cc9 [PATCH] ppc64: Fix a device-tree bug on Apple's
Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes
where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up
appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and
confuses /proc/device-tree badly.

This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when
reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not
modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0
tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem.

An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly

Here is a change of policy for the ondemand governor. The modification

frequency when the CPU usage is under 20%, this new policy automatically
scales to the optimal frequency. The optimal frequency being the lowest
frequency which provides enough power to not trigger the upscaling policy.

b9170836d1 [CPUFREQ] Conservative cpufreq governer
A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted.  This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.

N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.
