This new driver replaces the old PCEngines Alix 2/3 LED driver with a new
driver that controls the LEDs through the leds-gpio driver. The old
driver accessed GPIOs directly, which created a conflict and prevented
also loading the cs5535-gpio driver to read other GPIOs on the Alix board.
With this new driver, we hook into leds-gpio which in turn uses GPIO to
control the LEDs and therefore it's possible to control both the LEDs and
access onboard GPIOs
Driver is moved to platform/geode and any other geode initialisation
modules should move here also.
This driver is inspired by leds-net5501.c by Alessandro Zummo.
Ideally, leds-net5501.c should also be moved to platform/geode.
Additionally the driver relies on parts of the patch: 7f131cf3ed ("leds:
leds-alix2c - take port address from MSR) by Daniel Mack to perform
detection of the Alix board.

On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to long may
result in a negative value. On x86_32 the range of mmap_rnd() therefore
was -255 to 255. The 32bit mode on x86_64 used 0 to 255 as intended.
The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c") in January
2008.

There was one code block that I commented to be able to test the patch dnd
then forgot to uncomment again, and then you removed it but it should
actually have been uncommented rather than removed. So here is the patch
tat corrects the code, to be applied on top of your own patch.

Linux supports some optional features, but it should notify the BIOS about
them via the _OSI method. Currently Linux doesn't notify any, which might
make such features not work because the BIOS doesn't know about them.
Jarosz has a system which needs this to make ACPI processor aggregator
device work.

THERMAL_HWMON is implemented inside the thermal_sys driver and has no
effect on drivers implementing thermal zones, so they shouldn't see
anything related to it in <linux/thermal.h>. Making the THERMAL_HWMON
implementation fully internal has two advantages beyond the cleaner
design:
* This avoids rebuilding all thermal drivers if the THERMAL_HWMON
implementation changes, or if CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON gets enabled or
disabled.
* This avoids breaking the thermal kABI in these cases too, which should
make distributions happy.
The only drawback I can see is slightly higher memory fragmentation, as
the number of kzalloc() calls will increase by one per thermal zone. But
I doubt it will be a problem in practice, as I've never seen a system with
more than two thermal zones.

It's about time to revert 16d752397301b9 ("thermal: Create
CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n"). Anybody running a kernel >= 2.6.40 would also
be running a recent enough version of lm-sensors.
Actually having CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON is pretty convenient so instead of
dropping it, we keep it but hide it.

The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it to a
sign-extended u64 type. Change the type to unsigned long so we get the

My load tests on PowerPC freeze within minutes in __slab_free(). I
happened to try PPC first, didn't try without this fix on x86.
It looks as if the author was interrupted while devising the new
cmpxchg_double_slab() version of __slab_free(): its decision to
spin_lock_irqsave() depends on several uninitialized fields, and fixing
that (by copying page to new) mostly fixes it.
But I didn't think about it very much, and this may well not be what the
author intends; and I have seen a couple of much rarer freezes in
__slab_free() on PPC (not yet on x86) even after applying this.

Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
For further information and examples of how to use this, please read

Block's flush-merge changes from 2.6.39 have proven to be more costly

DM's underlying devices do not advertise that they have a write cache.
Fix the performance regressions by configuring a DM device's flushing
