CCISS was producing warnings about shifts being greater than the size of
the type and pointers being of incompatible type. Turns out this is
because it's calling do_div on a 32-bit quantity. Upon further
investigation, the sector_t total_size is being assigned to an int, and
then we're calling do_div on that int. Obviously, sector_div is called for
here, and I took the chance to refactor the code a little.

Mistyped an ifdef CONFIG_CPUSETS - fixed.
I doubt that anyone ever noticed. The impact of this typo was
that if someone:
1) was using MPOL_BIND to force off node allocations
2) while using cpusets to constrain memory placement
3) when that cpuset was migrating that jobs memory
4) while the tasks in that job were actively forking
then there was a rare chance that future allocations using
that MPOL_BIND policy would be node local, not off node.

The zonelist may contain zones of nodes that have not been bootstrapped and
we will oops if we try to allocate from those zones. So check if the node
information for the slab and the node have been setup before attempting an
allocation. If it has not been setup then skip that zone.
Usually we will not encounter this situation since the slab bootstrap code
avoids falling back before we have setup the respective nodes but we seem
to have a special needs for pppc.

The recent commit 751ae21c6c introduced a bug
in the producer/consumer index calculation in the ibmveth driver -
incautious use of the post-increment ++ operator resulted in an increment
being immediately reverted. This patch corrects the logic.
Without this patch, the driver oopses almost immediately after activation
on at least some machines.

The change from __setup() to module_param_named() requires users to prefix
the option with "generic.".
This patch re-adds the __setup() additionally to the module_param_named().
Usually it would make sense getting rid of such an obsolete __setup() at
some time, but considering that drivers/ide/ is slowly approaching a RIP
status it's already implicitely scheduled for removal.

Commits 881a8c120a and
efe1ec2783 corrects pci device matching in
only one way; it no longer oopses/crashes, despite hotplug is not solved
in these changes.
Whenever pci_find_device -> pci_get_device change is performed, also
pci_dev_get and pci_dev_put should be in most cases called to properly
handle hotplug. This patch does exactly this thing -- increase refcount
to let kernel know, that we are using this piece of HW just now.
It affects moxa and rio char drivers.

Since the ++ is used as post-increment, the increment is not included

changes due to qe_lib changes include:

o removed following defines:
QE_SIZEOF_BD, BD_BUFFER_ARG, BD_BUFFER_CLEAR, BD_BUFFER,
BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH_SET, BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH, and BD_BUFFER_SET
because they hid sizeof/in_be32/out_be32 operations from the reader.
o removed irrelevant comments, added others to resemble removed BD_ defines
o const'd and uncasted all get_property() assignments
bugfixes, courtesy of Scott Wood, include:
- Read phy_address as a u32, not u8.
- Match on type == "network" as well as compatible == "ucc_geth", as
device_is_compatible() will only compare up to the length of the
test string, allowing "ucc_geth_phy" to match as well.
- fixes the MAC setting code in ucc_geth.c. The old code was overwriting and dereferencing random stack contents.

The reason sky2 driver was locking up on transmit on the Yukon-FE chipset
is that it was misconfiguring the internal RAM buffer so the transmitter
and receiver were sharing the same space.
The code assumed there was 16K of RAM on Yukon-FE (taken from vendor driver
sk98lin which is even more f*cked up on this). Then it assigned based on that.
The giveaway was that the registers would only hold 9bits so both RX/TX
had 0..1ff for space. It is a wonder it worked at all!
This patch addresses this, and fixes an easily reproducible hang on Transmit.
Only the Yukon-FE chip is Marvell 88E803X (10/100 only) are affected.

[PATCH] Remove SUID when splicing into an inode

[PATCH] Introduce generic_file_splice_write_nolock()
[PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()
By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable
it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts.
This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't
seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one
VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled
8259.
For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think
for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested
in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same
as i386.

that mostly init data sections are placed. To avoid physical overlap
among phdrs, there are three possible solutions.
- Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user
- move vsyscal sections after init data in bss.
- create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections
after vsyscall into this new phdr.

TARGET_CPUS is the default irq routing poicy. It specifies which cpus the
kernel should aim an irq at. In physflat delivery mode we can route an irq to
a single cpu. But that doesn't mean our default policy should only be a
single cpu is allowed.
By allowing the irq routing code to select from multiple cpus this enables
systems with more irqs then we can service on a single processor to actually
work.
I just audited and tested the code and irqbalance doesn't care, and the
io_apic.c doesn't care if we have extra cpus in the mask. Everything will use
or assume we are using the lowest numbered cpu in the mask if we can't use
them all.
So this should result in no behavior changes except on systems that need it.

Thanks to YH Lu for spotting this. It appears I missed this function when I

all retriggered irqs would go to cpu 0 even if we were not prepared to receive
them there.
While reviewing YH's patch I also noticed that this function was missing
locking, and since I am now reading two values from two diffrent arrays that
looks like a race we might be able to hit in the real world.

This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs
instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not
able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates
one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue
using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls).
The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once
a fixed linker becomes available.

This avoids some problems with gcc 4.x and earlier generating
invalid unwind information. In 4.1 the option is default
when unwind information is enabled.
And it seems to generate smaller code too, so it's probably
a good thing on its own. With gcc 4.0:
i386:
4683198 902112 480868 6066178 5c9002 vmlinux (before)
4449895 902112 480868 5832875 5900ab vmlinux (after)

4854193 1449584 648216 6951993 6a1439 vmlinux (after)
On 4.1 it shouldn't make much difference because it is
default when unwind is enabled anyways.

Currently some code pieces assume that address returned by find_e820_area()
are page aligned. But looks like find_e820_area() had no such intention
and hence one might end up stomping over some of the data. One such case
is bootmem allocator initialization code stomped over bss.
This patch modified find_e820_area() to return page aligned address. This
might be little wasteful of memory but at the same time probably it is
easier to handle page aligned memory.

The arch/x86_64/pci directory was giving problems in a wierd cross-compile
environment. The exact cause is unknown, but the Makefile used CFLAGS
instead of EXTRA_CFLAGS. From what I can tell from
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, CFLAGS should not be used for this, it
should be EXTRA_CFLAGS. And it solves the cross-compile problem.
