48544cc267 ps3: tx descriptor handling cleanup
gelic: TX descriptor handling cleanup

        - Emitted return value of NETDEV_TX_LOCKED when DMA map or kick
          failure.
          Now it would free the skb, update drop packet statistics
          and return OK. Requested from Jeff Garzik.
        - Enable tx queue if number of free descriptors are more than 2
        - Fixed descriptor leak if dma map for second descriptor failed
        - Stopped calling xmit handler from interrupt handler in order
          to recheck tx queue.  Instead, call appropriate helper functions.

ceded32f09 netxen: Load firmware during probe, dma watchdog fix.
The firmware should be loaded after resetting hardware during PCI probe,
besides module unload. This fixes issue with 2nd port of multiport adapter
on powerpc blades. This patch also fixes a bug that PCI resources are not
freed if dma watchdog shutdown failed. The dma watchdog poll messages
during module unload are also suppressed.

b053c204ed 9p: Don't use binary sysctl numbers.
The recent 9p commit: bd238fb431 that
supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface
that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers.

And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast
path in any case.  So this patch just remove the binary numbers.

See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details.

While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as
well so there is less to read.

f25f64ed5b x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions.
Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line
like this fails (and does nothing):

	setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);

With inlined functions this line will work as expected.

Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the
"suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this
wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but
this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction.
Kernel output something like this:
	Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns)

This is the 3rd version of this patch.

 - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c
	Thanks to Andres Salomon
 - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file

19d36ccdc3 x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text
Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
protected by DEBUG_RODATA

Add a general utility function to change write protected text.  The new
function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
synchronization.  It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.

There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
comment.

This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.

Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
Desnoyers.

f51c94528a x86_64: Use read and write crX in .c files
This patch uses the read and write functions provided at system.h
for control registers instead of writting raw assembly over and
over again in .c files. Functions to manipulate cr2 and cr8 were
provided, as they were lacking.

Also, removed some extra space after closing brackets

abd4f7505b x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3
This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a
segfault happens.  A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools
that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between
debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 >
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace)

Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to
deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the
following:

main()
{
       while (1)
               if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0;
}

This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of
new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this.
Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old
'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

AK: Enabling by default for i386 will be likely controversal, but let's see what happens
AK: Really folks, before complaining just fix your segfaults
AK: I bet this will find a lot of silent issues

06cfa55694 [ARM] 4524/1: S3C: Move register out of include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410
Move register and other definitions out of the
include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410 into the the arch
directories of include/asm-arm/plat-s3c24xx and
include/asm-arm/plat-s3c.

This move is in preperation of the merging of
s3c2400 and s3c6400.

this patch can be applied:
