132fab1363 [S390] modular 3270 driver.
The initial i/o to a 3270 device is done using the static module variables
raw3270_init_data and raw3270_init_request. If the 3270 device driver is
built as a module and gets loaded above 2GB, the initial i/o will fail
because these variables will get addresses > 2GB. To make it work the
two variables are moved to struct raw3270 and the data structure is
allocated with GFP_DMA.

06fa46a2fc [S390] console_unblank woes.
The software watchdog calls machine_restart from a timer function.
The s390 machine_restart calls console_unblank to flush the console
output. This is needed for panic to get the panic message printed.
If console_unblank is called in interrupt a BUG is triggered in
acquire_console_sem. That makes the software watchdog panic instead
of restarting the machine. To get around this problem the call to
console_unblank is made conditionally on !in_interrupt() ||
oops_in_progress.

40154b8243 [S390] cio async subchannel reprobe.
Changes in the DASD driver require an asynchronous implementation of the
subchannel reprobe loop. This loop was so far only used by the blacklisting
mechanism but is now available to all CCW device drivers.

887ab59929 [S390] ccwgroup device unregister.
Work around the problem that a device cannot be unregistered from
driver_for_each_device() because of klist node refcounting: Get device
after device owned by the driver to be unregistered with driver_find_device()
and then unregister it. This works because driver_get_device() gets us out of
the region of the elevated klist node refcount. driver_find_device() will
always get the next device in the list after the found one has been
unregistered.

da039bd1e8 [S390] cio long busy in read configuration data.
Trying to set a DASD root device online can fail under some circumstances
with the message "Read configuration data returned error -5". The cause
is that read configuration data incorrectly aborts with -EIO when it
encounters a temporary busy condition at a storage server.
Perform retry when encountering temporary busy conditions.

7380534314 [S390] incomplete stack traces.
show_stack() passes a pointer to the current stack frame to show_trace().
Because of tail call optimization the pointer doesn't point to the original
stack frame anymory and therefore traces are wrong. Don't pass the pointer
of the current stack frame to show_trace(). Instead let show_trace()
calculate the pointer on its own.

0a6047eef1 Fix vsnprintf off-by-one bug
The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now
possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte.

The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we
have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]".

[ This is just an alternate and simpler patch to one proposed by Andrew
  and Jeremy, who actually noticed the problem ]

980a01c9bf [PATCH] SPI: infrastructure to initialize spi_device.mode early
This patch adds earlier initialization of spi_device.mode, as needed
on boards using nondefault chipselect polarity.  An example would be
ones using the RS5C348 RTC without an external signal inverter between
the RTC chipselect and the SPI controller.

Without this mechanism, the first setup() call for that chip would
wrongly enable chips, corrupting transfers to/from other chips sharing
that SPI bus.

94374e7cc3 [PATCH] v9fs: return the correct error when interrupted by signal
If a signal interrupts the user process, v9fs sends a flush request to the
file server and waits for its response.  It error code is incorrectly set
to the error code of the flush message instead of ERESTARTSYS.  The patch
sets the error code to the correct value.

33b37a33c2 [PATCH] remove active field from tty buffer structure
Remove 'active' field from tty buffer structure.  This was added in 2.6.16
as part of a patch to make the new tty buffering SMP safe.  This field is
unnecessary with the more intelligently written flush_to_ldisc that adds
receive_room handling.

Removing this field reverts to simpler logic where the tail buffer is
always the 'active' buffer, which should not be freed by flush_to_ldisc.
(active == buffer being filled with new data)

The result is simpler, smaller, and faster tty buffer code.

2c3bb20f46 [PATCH] add receive_room flow control to flush_to_ldisc
Flush data serially to line discipline in blocks no larger than
tty->receive_room to avoid losing data if line discipline is busy (such as
N_TTY operating at high speed on heavily loaded system) or does not accept
data in large blocks (such as N_MOUSE).
