The padto does not work because the driver code evaluates `len' later on and
there are cases where skb->len is not updated accordingly.
This was observed with ARP frames (skb->len = 42 bytes, !skb_cloned(),
skb_tailroom = 84 bytes). Then in skb_pad(), the first condition is true, where
skb->len is not updated. As a consequence, the driver uses 42 bytes instead of
the 60 bytes, and the ARP frame never makes it onto the wire.

tcp: TCP connection times out if ICMP frag needed is delayed
We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed
message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits.
The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes
and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if
it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update
MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message
until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits.
I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel.
In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds
tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset.
At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the
dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets
dst_cache entry remains NULL.
So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag
needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the
cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with
a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after
the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu.
Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment
so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down.

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore
in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.
This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.
To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.
Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

ext3/4: fix uninitialized bs in ext3/4_xattr_set_handle()
This fix the uninitialized bs when we try to replace a xattr entry in
ibody with the new value which require more than free space.
This situation only happens we format ext3/4 with inode size more than 128 and
we have put xattr entries both in ibody and block. The consequences about
this bug is we will lost the xattr block which pointed by i_file_acl with all
xattr entires in it. We will alloc a new xattr block and put that large value
entry in it. The old xattr block will become orphan block.

asm-{alpha,h8300,um,v850,xtensa}/param.h: unbreak HZ for userspace
I noticed this because alpha was broken due to the recent commit commit bdc807871d58285737d50dc6163d0feb72cb0dc2 ("avoid overflows in
kernel/time.c"). Most arches do something like this in their
asm/param.h:
A few arches though (namely alpha/h8300/um/v850/xtensa) either do no set
HZ at all for !__KERNEL__, or they set it wrongly. This should bring all
arches in line by setting up HZ for userspace.
Without this currently perl 5.10 doesn't build on alpha:

__add_zone calls memmap_init_zone twice if memory gets attached to an empty

Looks like this is currently not a bug, however the call is superfluous and
might lead to subtle bugs if memmap_init_zone gets changed. So make sure it
is called only once.

This is a little rework of the "Don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer"

It also cuts the use of internal SRAM for at91sam9rl : it is a bit small

pnp: add ISAPnP MPU option quirks
The AD181x and AZT230 chips don't support an IRQ-less MPU401 option but
work fine without one. This adds (priority functional) IRQ-less options
for each port option to help systems with few available IRQs.
The AD1815 quirk can't use pnp_register_irq_resource() due to doubly
penalizing the IRQ. Also, while not a practical issue due to no IRQ
option being present for the dependents, this needs to add in front, not
back.
Doesn't use pnp_register_port_resource() for symetry with above.
This does not delete the AD1815 independent option even though it should
be empty after the IRQ transfer due to AD1816 coming with an empty but
still present independent option by default.
Was tested on AD1815, AD1816 and AZT2320. The ALSA snd-ad1818a driver
also support the AZT2002 ID for MPU401 but this doesn't as I was unable to
test it.

Extends the PLL frequency table of the AMD Geode-LX frame buffer driver to
make use of the DIV4 bit, thus adding support for dotclocks between 6 and 25
MHz. These are needed for small LCDs (e.g. 320x240). Also inserts some
intermediate steps between pre-existing frequencies.
The problem was the insertion of intermediate steps into the frequency
table; they would cause the wrong frequency to be matched. This patch
drops those intermediate frequencies while keeping the sub-25MHz
frequencies.
