[PATCH] mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work
The address based work estimate for unmapping (for lockbreak) is and always
was horribly inefficient for sparse mappings. The problem is most simply
explained with an example:
If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range
PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in
order to progress the working address to the next pgd.
The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end
address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.

[PATCH] reorder struct files_struct
The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'
In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS. So other threads doing
read()/write()/... calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.
Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.

o Use netdev_priv() instead of the previous broken mechanism to allocate
the private data structure.
o Try to make sure we don't leak resources on exit.
o No more need to call SET_MODULE_OWNER in 2.6.
o Use pci_free_consistent instead of homegrown architecture-specific
allocation.

This patch contains support for different modes of interrupt mitigation

[PATCH] s390: fix recovery failure of non-guestLAN devices
[patch 5/7] s390: fix recovery failure of non-guestLAN devices
From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com>
- Recovery of non-guestLAN Layer 2 device failed due to
trying to register the real MAC address we got from
