4a9949d7ac [PATCH] raw1394: fix locking in the presence of SMP and interrupts
Changes all spinlocks that can be held during an irq handler to disable
interrupts while the lock is held.  Changes spin_[un]lock_irq to use the
irqsave/irqrestore variants for robustness and readability.

In raw1394.c:handle_iso_listen(), don't grab host_info_lock at all -- we're
not accessing host_info_list or host_count, and holding this lock while
trying to tasklet_kill the iso tasklet this can cause an ABBA deadlock if
ohci:dma_rcv_tasklet is running and tries to grab host_info_lock in
raw1394.c:receive_iso.  Test program attached reliably deadlocks all SMP
machines I have been able to test without this patch.

dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

f31c9cf3bd [PATCH] ieee1394: delete legacy module aliases
amdtp, dv1394, raw1394, video1394:

Delete legacy module aliases.  The macros did not work and the aliases are not
needed nowadays.

1934b8b656 [PATCH] Sync up ieee-1394
Lots of this patch is trivial code cleanups (static vars were being
intialized to 0, etc).

There's also some fixes for ISO transmits (max buffer handling).
Aswell, we have a few fixes to disable IRM capabilites correctly.  We've
also disabled, by default some generally unused EXPORT symbols for the
sake of cleanliness in the kernel.  However, instead of removing them
completely, we felt it necessary to have a config option that allowed
them to be enabled for the many projects outside of the main kernel tree
that use our API for driver development.

The primary reason for this patch is to revert a MODE6->MODE10 RBC
conversion patch from the SCSI maintainers.  The new conversions handled
directly in the scsi layer do not seem to work for SBP2.  This patch
reverts to our old working code so that users can enjoy using Firewire
disks and dvd drives again.

We are working with the SCSI maintainers to resolve this issue outside
of the main kernel tree.  We'll merge the patch once the SCSI layer's
handling of the MODE10 conversion is working for us.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
