From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com>
fixed kernel panic caused by qeth driver:
Using a bonding device qeth driver will realloc
headroom for every skb coming from the bond device.
Once this happens qeth frees the original skb and
set the skb pointer to the new realloced skb.
Under heavy transmit workload (e.g.UDP streams) through bond
network device the qdio output queue might get full.
In this case we return with EBUSY from qeth_send_packet.
Returning to qeth_hard_start_xmit routine
the skb address on the stack still points to the old address,
which has been freed before.
Returning from qeth_hard_start_xmit with EBUSY results in
requeuing the skb. In this case it corrupts the qdisc queue
and results in kernel panic.

[POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviour
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.
To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.
Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock. If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.
This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX. 32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.

This is required to generate proper core files using kdump on ppc64.
Create a backup region of 64K size irrespective of the PAGE SIZE.
At present 32K was used as backup size. In the case of 64K page size,
second PT_LOAD segments starts at 32K and the first one is not page
aligned. __ioremap() (crash_dump.c) fails if pfn = 0 which is the
case for the second PT_LOAD segment. This is not an issue for 4K page
size because the the first page (32K backup) is copied to second
kernel memory and thus referencing with the second kernel pfn.

The sys_[gs]et_robust_list() syscalls were wired up on PowerPC but
didn't work correctly because futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() wasn't
implemented. Implement it, based on __cmpxchg_u32().

[PATCH] e1000: fix TX timout hang regression for 82542rev3
Commit 581d708eb47cccb5f41bc0817e50c9b004011ba8 (oct. 5 2005) introduced
partial Multiqueue support for e1000 which broke macro smartness in setting
up head/tail registers for 82542 rev3 chipsets, making these adapters
completely non-working since 2.6.15.
This commit sets the proper head and tail registers for read and write
descriptor rings. Ths fix was tested on an 82542 rev3 NIC and newer NICs.

USB: Fix unload oops and memory leak in yealink driver
This patch fixes a memory leak and a kernel oops when trying to unload

[PATCH] sparc64 audit syscall classes hookup
... that should do it for all targets; the only remaining issues are
mips (currently treated as non-biarch) and handling of other OS
emulations (OSF/SunOS/Solaris/???). The latter would need to be
assigned new AUDIT_ARCH_... ABI numbers anyway...

sh64: Trivial build fixes.
While we've been sorting out the toolchain fiasco, some of
the code has suffered a bit of bitrot. Building with GCC4
also brings up some more build warnings. Trivial fixes for
both issues.

sh64: Drop deprecated ISA tuning for legacy toolchains.
The original sh64 toolchains required that we tune the ISA
level accordingly to not have head.S/entry.S blow up. With
current toolchains, this is no longer the case, and the
syntax magically changed as well, causing all current
toolchains to die a horrible death.
Incidentally, code generation in other parts of the kernel
is now significantly complex enough that none of the older
toolchains make it very far these days, so there's not
even any point in preserving legacy compatability via
as-option.
This fixes a long-standing issue, as noted here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/5/223
Though at the time the current toolchains were too broken
to make adjusting the tuning worthwhile.

There are two changes here. The first reverses the broken PCI_DEVICE
conversion back to the old format. The second adds a missing PCI ID so
you can actually boot 2.6.18 on 2 month old VIA motherboards (right now
only 2.6.18-mm works).
CC'd to Jeff to check the PCI ident but its a) in several distro kernels
and b) in 2.6.18-mm [twice ??]
