Summary of changes from v2.5.28 to v2.5.29
============================================


	Do not call ncp_lookup_validate on mountpoint.


	Remove unneeded server_file_handle and open_create_action property from ncpfs info structures.


	Return total/free space on ncpfs mounted volume.


	Allow access to all 256 volumes from Netware server.


	Use search for fileset instead of search for one item in ncpfs. It is much faster
	as you usually read whole directory in one request when using TCP transport, instead
	of using one request for each directory entry.


	Check for s_maxbytes and generate SIGXFSZ correctly in ncpfs's read and write. Only
	page cache generic_file_read/generic_file_write check for these conditions, and
	because of ncpfs does not use page cache, it must do that itself.


	Update and fix inode attributes handling in ncpfs.


	Utilize NFS extended attributes for storing file mode and rdev. Make sure that you
	use nodev,nosuid together with nfsextras if you do not trust server...


	Decide whether to build fs/ncpfs/symlinks.c or not in Makefile and not through 
	ifdefing whole file out. It should make Al happier.


	[PATCH] LSM to designated initializers
	
	Over the last few days there has been discussion on the
	LKML list about converting struct initializers from the
	    field:    val,
	format into
	    .field =  val,
	
	I have included a patch that will do this for both the
	dummy and capabilities files.


	LSM: fixed up all of the other archs (non i386) to include the security config menu.


	[PATCH] LSM: CREDITS entries
	
	Here are CREDITS entries for myself and my two colleagues who also
	contributed to LSM.


	updated my CREDITS entry.


	added ptrace hook for ia64


	[PATCH] LSM: CREDITS entry
	


	[PATCH] LSM: file related LSM hooks
	
	The below patch adds the filesystem-related LSM hooks, specifically the
	super_block, inode, and file hooks, to the 2.5.27 kernel.


	LSM: convert initializers to C99 style.


	LSM: fixed typo that happened in merge


	[PATCH] credits update
	
	Added LSM credit entry


	Kernel command line [__setup()] parsing fixes in all the input
	drivers that use it, except i8042.


	Update of the X-Box USB pad driver and documentation to version 0.0.5.


	This patch by Brad Hards replaces the four id* fields of the input
	struct by a single struct to simplify passing it around and to
	userspace.


	Add an i8042_restore_ctr command line option. This allows not
	restoring the CTR value after an AUX write by default, which
	breaks Transmeta Crusoe i8042 chip emulation. The option might
	be needed on some ancient hardware, though.
	Move registration of the KBD interface after the AUX probe. This
	makes sure we don't kill the keyboard by probing for the AUX port.
	Fix a bug in i8042.c which only enables the interfaces after the
	probe routine for mice/keyboards was executed.
	Add some paranoia flush/sync calls to make sure the chip doesn't get
	stuck.
	Don't check_region, we already request_region where applicable.
	Do i8042_reset on all non-PC architectures.
	Cleanup comments.

	Fox a typo in input documentation. Patch by Pavel Machek.


	Remove duplicately defined keys in input.h that got there as a part
	of a PVR support patch.


	Osamu Tomita :
	  2.5.26-27 Logitech Busmouse driver doesn't work.
	  This patch fix it.


	Fix the PS/2 mouse wheel in Explorer PS/2 mode.


	Enable the Q40 keyboard only on the Q40 platform.


	After some grepping and talking to maintainers, I did the appended cleanup
	patch. This should be it from me until char/keyboard.c becomes a real input
	layer client, but this final patch will be _very_ small now :-)).
	-- Franz Sirl


	The following fixes compilation errors in the Acorn
	related input drivers.
	  -- Russell King 


	The following patch adds the "resend" capability to the keyboard driver;
	when the host driver detects a parity or framing error, we can ask the
	keyboard to resend the data, instead of treating random garbage as
	valid data.
	We also export serio_interrupt() - serio modules are using it, yet you
	can't use them as modules without this symbol exported.
	  -- Russell King


	This patch adds two new serio input drivers.  Both are "UART" type
	drivers for PS/2 ports on both StrongARM and ARM Integrator hardware.
	  -- Russell King


	[PATCH] Fix the BusLogic driver in 2.5.x
	


	[PATCH] Fix cpqfcTS driver in 2.5.x
	
	cpqfcTSinit.c:
	  Fix usage of Scsi_Cmnd->request so it will compile.


	Don't compile with "-g" by default, that was a left-over from
	the global irq-lock debugging


	Apply Rusty's C99 initializer patch to input drivers.
	Fix cli() breakage in input (gameport) drivers.


	[PATCH] CMIPCI compile fix
	
	Here it is my first LK patch.
	tested even. :)


	[PATCH] PATCH: remove sti() from calibrate_xor_block()
	
	Inexplicably, xor.c enabled interrupts...
	 thanks to akmp


	Add a GrIP MultiPort gamepad hub by Brian Bonnlander and Bill Soudan.


	[SERIAL] Remove drivers/char/serial_{21285,amba}.c
	These drivers are now part of drivers/serial


	[SERIAL] Fix documentation bug for expected stop_tx interrupt state.


	By popular request, and explicit method of telling which events
	from a device belong together was implemented - input_sync() and
	EV_SYN. Touches every input driver. The first to make use of it
	is mousedev.c to properly merge events into PS/2 packets.


	Small cleanup in evdev.c, which copies the data directly from
	input struct to userspace.


	Add support for AT keyboards connected over a PS/2 to Serial
	converter to atkbd.c - trivial. Remove ps2serkbd, because it's
	not needed anymore.


	Because the Linux Input core follows the USB HID standard where it
	comes to directions of movement and rotation, a mouse wheel should
	be positive where it "rotates forward, away from the user". We had
	the opposite in psmouse.c. Fixed this.


	Add EVIOCSABS() ioctl to change the abs* informative
	values on input devices. This is something the X peoople
	really wanted.
	Rename input_devinfo to input_id, it's shorter and more 
	to the point.
	Remove superfluous printks in uinput.c
	Clean up return values in evdev.c ioctl. 


	[PATCH] I2O does not need init in genhd now
	


	[PATCH] backpack driver only needs module license in one file


	[PATCH] fix umem compile
	
	Whoever updated it was coding without due care and attention 8)


	[PATCH] epca and specialix warning fixes
	
	Event is just used for internal flags and with set_bit for atomicity. This
	kills the warning the obvious way


	[PATCH] Q40 keyboard
	
	The Q40 keyboard is only found on a Q40..


	[PATCH] miropcm20 fails to build
	


	[PATCH] Update i2o core functionality to 2.5
	


	[PATCH] ad1848_lib does not build
	


	[PATCH] CS4281 is missing in sound/pci/Config.in
	


	[PATCH] fix ALSA PCI compile problems
	


	[PATCH] Fix other peoples ALSA PCI fixe
	
	irq can be -1 if the card errors during config. synchronize_irq(-1) looks
	bad


	[PATCH] Fix multiple driver build failures due to missing include


	[PATCH] Update tlan driver to new pci api
	


	[PATCH] Make the tulip compile again


	[PATCH] Fix cisco aironet tristate check
	


	[PATCH] atp870u scsi update
	
	Rediffed with the 2.5.28 biosparm change included


	[PATCH] SuS/LSB compliance in readv/writev from 2.4
	


	[PATCH] Handle dunord pci decode problem
	


	[PATCH] Remove dead i2c bits from media/video


	[PATCH] i810_audio.c cli/sti fix
	
	Update for removed global irq lock


	[PATCH] cli-sti-removal.txt fixup
	
	Things look rather like this..


	[PATCH] cpu_online() has odd semantics
	
	Make sure the cpu argument to cpu_online() is evaluated for
	side effects on UP too.


	Remove BKL from driverfs
	- in mkdir: we already hold parent directory's semaphore (c.f. driverfs_create_dir)
	- in create: ditto (c.f. driverfs_create_file)
	- in unlink: ditto (c.f. driverfs_remove_file) and file's i_sem is taken in vfs_unlink
	- un lseek: take inode's i_sem (though I think we can replace this with a common lseek function...later)


	[PATCH] read-write semaphore downgrade and trylock
	
	Here's a patch from Christoph Hellwig and myself to supply write->read
	semaphore downgrade, and also from Brian Watson to supply trylock for rwsems.


	Use C99 initializers in driverfs


	[PATCH] Missing memory barrier in pte_chain_unlock
	
	On a ppc64 machine running 2.5.28 we were hitting this BUG in
	__free_pages_ok:
	
	BUG_ON(page->pte.chain != NULL);
	
	In pte_chain_lock we use test_and_set_bit which implies a memory
	barrier. In pte_chain_unlock we use clear_bit which has no memory
	barriers so we need to add one.


	[PATCH] New LDM Driver (Windows Dynamic Disks)
	
	This is a complete rewrite of the LDM driver (support for Windows
	Dynamic Disks).  It incorporates Al Viro's recent partition handling
	tidy ups.
	
	Details:
	  LDM Driver rewritten.  More efficient.  Much smaller memory footprint.
	
	  The old driver was little more than a stopgap.
	  The new driver is a complete rewrite
	  based on a much better understanding of the database
	  based on much more reverse engineering
	  more able to spot errors and inconsistancies
	  it has a much smaller memory footprint
	  no longer considered experimental
	  accompanied by brief info: Documentation/ldm.txt


	[PATCH] Ensure xtime_lock and timerlist_lock are on difft cachelines
	
	I've noticed that xtime_lock and timerlist_lock ends up on the same
	cacheline  all the time (atleaset on x86).  Not a good thing for
	loads with high xxx_timer and do_gettimeofday counts I guess (networking etc).
	
	Here's a trivial fix.


	[PATCH] shrink check_nmi_watchdog stack frame
	
	This patch for 2.5.28 reduces the stack frame size of
	arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c:check_nmi_watchdog() from 4096 bytes
	in the worst case to 128 bytes.
	
	The problem with the current code is that it copies the entire
	irq_stat[] array, when only a single field (__nmi_count) is of
	interest. The irq_stat_t element type is only 28 bytes, but it
	is also ____cacheline_aligned, and that blows the array up to
	4096 bytes on SMP P4 Xeons, 2048 bytes on SMP K7s, and 1024 bytes
	on SMP P5/P6s. The patch reduces this to NR_CPUS*4==128 bytes.


	[PATCH] fix two unwrapped uses of thread_info->cpu
	
	This patch for 2.5.28 fixes two explicit accesses to thread_info->cpu
	in generic code to use the new UP-optimised macros instead.


	[PATCH] ipx use of cli/sti
	
	This removes cli/sti from SPX registration code in IPX.  I decided to
	use normal rw_semaphore instead of net_family_{write,read}_{lock,unlock}
	used in net/socket.c.
	
	I left SPX code itself alone: I do not use it and last time I checked it
	it was very unreliable reliable transport.


	[PATCH] Made 'make sgmldocs' work again after serial merge [1/9]
	
	 o Changed targets in documentation/DocBook/Makefile
	 o New filenames in DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl


	[PATCH] kernel-doc: Improved support for man-page generation [2/9]
	
	Forward port from 2.4, originally by Christoph Hellwig


	[PATCH] kernel-doc: Generate valid DocBook syntax [3/9]
	
	Forward port from 2.4, originally by Alan Cox
	 o Do not generate empty RefEntry's
	 o Improved error reporting


	[PATCH] kernel-doc: Fix warnings [4/9]
	
	During processing of skbuff.h three warnings were issued,
	because members of an enum within a struct were nor documented.
	This patch fixes kernel-doc not to spit out these non-valid warnings.
	Originally by Thunder.


	[PATCH] docbook: scripts/docproc improved [5/9]
	
	This is the first patch in a serie to clean-up the DocBook
	Makefile.
	
	docproc is extented to include the functionality previously provided by
	gen-all-syms and docgen.  Furthermore the necessity to specify which
	files to search for EXPORT_SYMBOL are removed, the information is now
	read in the .tmpl files.
	
	docproc is furthermore extended to generate dependency information.
	gen-all-syms and docgen are deleted.


	[PATCH] docbook: Makefile cleanup [6/9]
	
	Massive cleanup of makefile.
	Comments added as well.
	Enabled by the new functionality provided by docproc
	When generating HTML locate a new file in DocBook dir that points to
	the book in question.


	[PATCH] docbook: Update documentation to reflect new docproc [7/9]
	
	kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt updated to reflect new functionality
	provided by docproc.
	gen-all-syms and docgen description removed.
	kernel-api.tmpl and parportbook.tmpl updated to specify files to search
	for EXPORT-SYMBOL* to enable documentation of all relevant functions.


	[PATCH] docbook: Move script target in top-level file [8/9]
	
	To support the new DocBook makefile the script target needs to be located
	the block that is checked for precense of a .config file.


	[PATCH] docbook: Call docbook makefile with -f [9/9]
	
	The rewritten makefile for DocBook requires that working directory
	is $(TOPDIR) therefore use -f Documentation/DocBook/Makefile to
	invoke the docbook makefile.


	driverfs: stop using vfs layer for file creation
	This is the first of a series of patches to driverfs to _not_ use the vfs layer for file creation
	and deletion. 
	The VFS layer is allowing files and directories to be removed from userspace, which we don't want 
	at all. 
	
	Per Al Viro's suggesting, I am pushing the necessary checks from the vfs_* functions into the 
	driverfs functions, and calling them directly from the kernel interface to driverfs.
	
	This is the first, for file creation


	driverfs: don't use VFS for directory creation
	Call driverfs_mkdir directly, instead of going through vfs.


	driverfs: don't use vfs for creating symlinks
	Add check for existence of dentry in driverfs_symlink and driverfs_mknod  (which the other creation
	functions use).


	driverfs: Don't use VFS for file or directory deletion
	These are tied together a bit, so they're included in the same patch
	
	Mainly, they move the taking of the inode's i_sem into the unlink and rmdir. 
	
	driverfs_rmdir doesn't call driverfs_unlink anymore, as it checks if the directory is empty
	and conditionally does d_delete on it.
	
	fs/namei.c implements d_unhash, which is called in vfs_rmdir. This isn't exported (yet), 
	so reimplement it here (at least until it's known that it's not needed or it's exported).


	fix memory leak when driverfs symlink fails.


	[PATCH] trivial USB Config.help cleanups
	


	[PATCH] ehci-hcd more polite on cardbus
	
	This patch makes the EHCI driver behave reasonably well in the
	cardbus configurations I can test ... basically, it now sees
	when a card is gone, and cleans up accordingly.  There are also
	some related cleanups:  hardware handshakes will time out (not
	that I've ever seen them fail), and some state management puts
	a bit more effort into being strictly to-spec.


	[PATCH] ohci unlink cleanups
	
	Attached is a patch that cleans up a few more issues in the OHCI unlink
	code.
	
	There may still be an ISO-IN data problem, I'll look at that separately
	since it seems unrelated to unlink issues.
	
	- Simplify/correct ED lifecycle
		* UNLINK is now for real: descheduled and waiting for SOF
		* finish_unlinks() expects descheduled EDs (may reschedule)
		* only ed_deschedule() turns off hardware schedule processing
		* no more NEW state
		* no more ED_URB_DEL flag (it added extra states)
		* new IDLE state, "not scheduled" (replaces previous UNLINKing)
	- Bugfixes
		* ed_get(), potential memleak is now gone
		* urb_enqueue(), won't submit to dead/sleeping hc
		* free_config(), rescans after SOF when needed
		* ed_schedule(), use wmb()
		* ed_schedule() and finish_unlinks(), more thorough about
		  restarting control or bulk processing
		* finish_unlinks(), more cautious about reentering
	- General:
		* ed->ed_rm_list renamed ed_next; to be used more later
		* slightly shrink object code
		* rename some functions
	
	This leaves one notable issue in the unlink paths:  the driver never waits
	for SOF after descheduling (empty) EDs.  That's racey in most cases, though
	there are a few light-traffic cases where that's correct (in part because
	the ED is empty).  Easy to fix once the rest of this is known to behave.


	[PATCH] new USB scanner IDs
	
	just a couple of extra IDs for Canon USB Scanners


	[PATCH] resolve ACPI lockup
	
	A much needed (and widely tested) ACPI bugfix for kernel 2.5.28:
	An u8 was casted into an u32, then all 32 bits were zeroed. This can cause
	other values, e.g. "unsigned long flags" to be corrupted. When these
	flags==0 are "restored", the system locks hard.


	Interpreter update


	Use C99 initializers (Rusty Russell)


	Last little bit of C99 init fixes
	Fix panic in EC driver (Dom B)
	Add a some more sanity checking (Richard Schaal)


	[PATCH] Remove docgen + gen-all-syms targets
	
	Removed unused targets to CHMOD_FILES in scripts
	
	This allow a fresh kernel to start the build process without
	bailing about docgen.


	[PATCH] USB: fixed the interface names to have the proper bus id.
	
	Thanks to David Brownell for pointing out where my previous patch was wrong.


	[PATCH] Thread-Local Storage (TLS) support
	
	the following patch implements proper x86 TLS support in the Linux kernel,
	via a new system-call, sys_set_thread_area():
	
	   http://redhat.com/~mingo/tls-patches/tls-2.5.28-C6
	
	a TLS test utility can be downloaded from:
	
	    http://redhat.com/~mingo/tls-patches/tls_test.c
	
	what is TLS? Thread Local Storage is a concept used by threading
	abstractions - fast an efficient way to store per-thread local (but not
	on-stack local) data. The __thread extension is already supported by gcc.
	
	proper TLS support in compilers (and glibc/pthreads) is a bit problematic
	on the x86 platform. There's only 8 general purpose registers available,
	so on x86 we have to use segments to access the TLS. The approach used by
	glibc so far was to set up a per-thread LDT entry to describe the TLS.
	Besides the generic unrobustness of LDTs, this also introduced a limit:
	the maximum number of LDT entries is 8192, so the maximum number of
	threads per application is 8192.
	
	this patch does it differently - the kernel keeps a specific per-thread
	GDT entry that can be set up and modified by each thread:
	
	     asmlinkage int sys_set_thread_area(unsigned int base,
	               unsigned int limit, unsigned int flags)
	
	the kernel, upon context-switch, modifies this GDT entry to match that of
	the thread's TLS setting. This way user-space threaded code can access
	per-thread data via this descriptor - by using the same, constant %gs (or
	%gs) selector. The number of TLS areas is unlimited, and there is no
	additional allocation overhead associated with TLS support.
	
	
	the biggest problem preventing the introduction of this concept was
	Linux's global shared GDT on SMP systems. The patch fixes this by
	implementing a per-CPU GDT, which is also a nice context-switch speedup,
	2-task lat_ctx context-switching got faster by about 5% on a dual Celeron
	testbox. [ Could it be that a shared GDT is fundamentally suboptimal on
	SMP? perhaps updating the 'accessed' bit in the DS/CS descriptors causes
	some sort locked memory cycle overhead? ]
	
	the GDT layout got simplified:
	
	 *   0 - null
	 *   1 - Thread-Local Storage (TLS) segment
	 *   2 - kernel code segment
	 *   3 - kernel data segment
	 *   4 - user code segment              <==== new cacheline
	 *   5 - user data segment
	 *   6 - TSS
	 *   7 - LDT
	 *   8 - APM BIOS support               <==== new cacheline
	 *   9 - APM BIOS support
	 *  10 - APM BIOS support
	 *  11 - APM BIOS support
	 *  12 - PNPBIOS support                <==== new cacheline
	 *  13 - PNPBIOS support
	 *  14 - PNPBIOS support
	 *  15 - PNPBIOS support
	 *  16 - PNPBIOS support                <==== new cacheline
	 *  17 - not used
	 *  18 - not used
	 *  19 - not used
	
	set_thread_area() currently recognizes the following flags:
	
	  #define TLS_FLAG_LIMIT_IN_PAGES         0x00000001
	  #define TLS_FLAG_WRITABLE               0x00000002
	  #define TLS_FLAG_CLEAR                  0x00000004
	
	- in theory we could avoid the 'limit in pages' bit, but i wanted to
	  preserve the flexibility to potentially enable the setting of
	  byte-granularity stack segments for example. And unlimited segments
	  (granularity = pages, limit = 0xfffff) might have a performance
	  advantage on some CPUs. We could also automatically figure out the best
	  possible granularity for a given limit - but i wanted to avoid this kind
	  of guesswork. Some CPUs might have a plus for page-limit segments - who
	  knows.
	
	- The 'writable' flag is straightforward and could be useful to some
	  applications.
	
	- The 'clear' flag clears the TLS. [note that a base 0 limit 0 TLS is in
	  fact legal, it's a single-byte segment at address 0.]
	
	(the system-call does not expose any other segment options to user-space,
	priviledge level is 3, the segment is 32-bit, etc. - it's using safe and
	sane defaults.)
	
	NOTE: the interface does not allow the changing of the TLS of another
	thread on purpose - that would just complicate the interface (and
	implementation) unnecesserily. Is there any good reason to allow the
	setting of another thread's TLS?
	
	NOTE2: non-pthreads glibc applications can call set_thread_area() to set
	up a GDT entry just below the end of stack. We could use some sort of
	default TLS area as well, but that would hard-code a given segment.


	[SERIAL] Fix buglet causing (eg) ttyS-14
	Allocate positive instead of negative line numbers when 8250.c
	registers a new port with the core.  This bug could cause
	registrations to erroneously fail, or oopsen when the pcmcia
	serial device is ejected.


	cmd640 IDE driver internal spinlocks for config etc accesses.
	
	This is no better or worse than the cli/sti the cmd640 driver
	used to have, but at least it compiles and works in the new
	scheme of things.
	
	Perfection can wait. Especially since that probably involves
	removing the PCI-related code, and just trusting the native
	Linux direct PCI accesses.


	Remove unnecessary (and now nonworking) "sti()" in parport
	interrupt probing


	Remove (broken) parport locking, add comment on fixing it.
	
	At least it compiles now.


	[PATCH] irqlock fixes
	
	Add irq_enter/exit to smp_call_function_interrupt():
	arch/i386/kernel/microcode.c:do_microcode_update() calls
	smp_call_function(do_update_one).  do_update_one() does
	spin_lock/unlock.
	
	Remove unneeded GET_THREAD_INFO(%ebx) in device_not_available() trap in
	entry.S


	[SERIAL] Stop open() looping while opening a non-present port
	Trying to open a non-present port (for configuration) causes us to
	to endlessly loop (by returning -ERESTARTSYS).  We should be returning
	success.  This cset fixes this.


	[SERIAL] Turn on 8250 framing/parity error reporting on INPCK not IGNPAR


	i385 mm cleanup:
	  + cleanup init.c and split into pgtable.c
	  + split declaration of _text, _etext outside into sections.h


	USB: fix compiler warning in drivers/usb/serial/digi_acceleport.c


	[PATCH] Merged hid-lgff.c and hid-lg3d.c
	
	Here is a patch wich moves hid-lg3d.c into hid-lgff.c. This allows to
	share the init code.
	A side-effect of this merge is that rumble pads are now handled the same
	way joysticks are. Instead of having one timer per effect, executing
	only when needed, we have one timer executing at regular intervals going
	over each effect.


	[PATCH] Fixes needed to get Logitech WingMan 3D running
	
	Some fixes from Johann Deneux:
	  Fixes needed to get WingMan Force 3D running. (Fix in fixp_cos
	  and hid_init_reports).


	[PATCH] designated initializer patch for drivers_usb_misc_emi26.c

	  CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR09, CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR55, and
	  CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_JUMPSHOT depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but

	[PATCH] ohci-hcd cardbus unplug, remove interrupt length limit,
	
	* handle another cardbus unplug misbehavior
	     - root hub kept polling, never stopped
	     - starts to update hcd->state to match internal state
	* code to count/queue TDs for interrupt/bulk is now shared
	     - removes (low level) interrupt transfer size limitation
	     - both types already handled urb queueing
	     - re-indents some TD queuing code (most of patch, by volume)
	* cleanup
	     - use new container_of() macro, not list_entry()
	     - report a previously unreported error (control data >4K)
	     - simplify intr/bulk toggle reset
	     - tweak TD debug dump
	     - more object code shrinkage (often fits in 3 pages)
	
	Note that the control data size error is just a long-standing
	limitation of this driver, not a USB limitation!  It could be
	fixed, if anyone starts to run into it.


	USB: deleted hid-lg3dff.c as it's no longer needed.


	USB: usb-serial.c update the version number, and document the previous changes.


	USB: added driver to support the I/O Networks TI based usb-serial devices.


	Clean up more x86 MM init details after splitup


	[PATCH] ACPI compile fix
	
	This fixes the ACPI_DEBUG compile issue that turned up.


	[PATCH] designated initalizers for serial/
	
	The old form of designated initializers are obsolete: we need to
	replace them with the ISO C forms before 2.6.  Gcc has always
	supported both forms anyway.
	
	From Rusty's Trivial Patch - thanks.


	[PATCH] f00f workaround update, TLS, 2.5.28
	
	This updates the F00F bug workaround code to the IDT changes in the TLS
	patch.
	
	Tested it on a non-Pentium box on which i triggered the workaround
	artificially.


	[PATCH] clean up RPC write_space() code
	
	Make the RPC write_space() algoritm use the standard socket flags
	SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE and SOCK_NOSPACE instead of its own custom flag.


	[PATCH] increase socket buffer for RPC over UDP
	
	Make RPC over UDP use a socket buffer size that is large enough to fit
	all the messages. Congestion control is in any case handled by the Van
	Jacobson algoritm, and we need to work around a bug in
	ip_build_xmit_slow() w.r.t. fragmentation when there is insufficient
	buffer memory to fit the entire message.


	[PATCH] Reduce the number of getattr/lookup calls in nfs_lookup_revalidate()
	
	Reduce the number of getattr/lookup calls in nfs_lookup_revalidate()
	by making the latter rely on the ordinary attribute cache, and moving
	the close-to-open data consistency checking into nfs_open().
	
	This does mean that we can end up calling GETATTR twice: once in
	nfs_lookup_revalidate() then immediately after in nfs_open(), however
	it also means that sys_stat() and friends now use cached attributes.


	[PATCH] add proper NFSv3 permissions checking.
	
	Add full support for the NFSv3 permissions checking. Ensures that we
	work properly with NFSv3 servers that do uid/gid mapping and/or have
	support for ACLs.
	
	Permissions are cached in the struct nfs_inode in order to reduce the
	number of RPC calls. The cache timeout period is given by the ordinary
	attribute timeout.


	[PATCH] fix unresolved syms for serial drivers
	
	The following two patches seem to be needed to export the requisite
	symbols needed for fully modular builds of the new serial drivers in
	2.5.28.


	[PATCH] 2.5.28 small REQ_SPECIAL abstraction
	
	The attached patch does the following:
	
	1. Remove blkdev_release_request(Request); it was an unnecessary wrapper
	    around blk_put_request(Request). Likely some leftover from pre-BIO
	    time...
	
	2. Abstract out the fine __scsi_insert_special() function out from
	    the SCSI code.
	
	    Now that I have finally managed to kill all those IDE 'specific'
	    REQ_BLAH request types, we can do this final step, and it will be
	    used soon at least by ATA code as well. The goal is that
	    scsi_request_fn and do_ide_request should start to look similar
	    like silblings.
	
	    Its called blk_insert_request() now and even documented in code.
	
	3. Change some stuff over from extern inline to static inline in
	    blkdev.h. (trivia...)
	
	This patch doesn't change *any* functionality, so its not exposing
	SCSI to any danger :-).


	[PATCH] 2.5.28 IDE 102
	
	Just getting trivia out of the way, so the interresting parts
	don't get burried by them:
	
	- Sanitize the menu configuration system.
	
	- Allow to compile atapi.c as a "foundation module" for the
	   consuming device type drivers.


	[PATCH] 2.5.28 IDE 103
	
	 - Remove pseudo headers for nonexisting support of not existing
	   hardware from Big Black Boxen code.


	[PATCH] IDE 104
	
	 - Make the bit-sliced data types in hdreg.h use the bit-slice data types
	   instead of the generic ones. This makes clear that those are supposed
	   to be register masks.


	[PATCH] IDE 105
	
	 - Rename ata-timings.h to timings.h. Same arguments as for agp.
	
	 - Always include hdparm.h just before ide.h. Include them last where
	   used. This is preparing to split out the IDE register declarations
	   out of this file, since many other files in the kernel include it,
	   which don't have anything to do with IDE.
	
	 - Don't use the "IDE special" data type "byte". Just use the u8 data
	   type for consistency with the rest of the kernel where applicable.


	[PATCH] IDE 106
	
	Small missing notch.


	[PATCH] IDE 107
	
	 - Fix "temporal anomaly" in do_ide_request pointed out by Petr
	   Vandrovec. Thanks Petr!


	[PATCH] Hot-plug CPU Boot Changes
	
	This patch alters the boot sequence to "plug in" each CPU, one at a
	time.  You need the patch for each architecture, as well.  The
	interface used to be "smp_boot_cpus()", "smp_commence()", and each
	arch implemented the "maxcpus" boot arg itself.  With this patch,
	it is:
	  smp_prepare_cpus(maxcpus): probe for cpus and set up cpu_possible(cpu).
	  __cpu_up(cpu): called *after* initcalls, for each cpu where
	     cpu_possible(cpu) is true.
	  smp_cpus_done(maxcpus): called after every cpu has been brought up


	[PATCH] Hot-plug CPU Boot Rewrite for i386
	
	This modifies the i386 boot sequence to "plug in" CPUs one at a
	time.  This is the minimal change to make it work (the CPUs are
	brought up as normal during the "smp_prepare_cpus()" probe phase).


	[PATCH] Hot-plug CPU Boot Rewrite for PPC
	
	This modifies the PPC boot sequence to "plug in" CPUs one at a
	time.


	[PATCH] comment fix, 2.5.28
	
	the attached patch fixes a comment that got incorrect via the
	set_thread_area() changes.


	[PATCH] WoL support to the 8139cp ethernet driver
	
	This patch add Wake-on-LAN support to the 8139cp ethernet driver.
	
	It also converts the gccism "foo: bar" to the C99 ".foo = bar" syntax.


	[SERIAL] Fix initialiser warnings for HUB6 ports
	We were missing an element in the old_serial_port structure.
