[PATCH] fbdev: Fix return code of fb_read and fb_write
Make fb_read() and fb_write() return 0 (EOF) instead of -ENOSPC if reading at
or past the end of the framebuffer. This fixes user space apps hanging if
info->fix.smem_len == 0.

[PATCH] fbcon: disable ywrap if not supported by fbcon scrolling code
updatescrollmode() must not select ywrap scrolling if
divides(vc->vc_font.height, yres) is not true as this is not supported by
the actual ywrap scrolling code.
The bug is triggered with e.g. mode 800x600, vxres 1024, vyres 8192, bpp
8, font dimensions 8x16, 8Mb video ram and FBINFO_HWACCEL_YWRAP set. If
those conditions are met, scrolling is broken and garbage is permanently
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
No regression, no possible side effects.
Definitely needed by cyblafb and probably needed by amifb.

[PATCH] atyfb: LT/LG cleanup
Clean up LT and LG chip descriptions.
"Mach64 LG" is called 3D Rage LT in the specs and ATI press releases.
"Mach64 LT" is unclear. XFree86 driver doesn't know this chip at all.
Windows display.inf calls it just "mach64 LT" and it uses the same driver as
VT-A/GT-A and older chips. VT-B/GT-B and better use another driver and all of
those chips have a more descriptive name in the display.inf file. That makes
me think this chip is not a 3D Rage chip.

[PATCH] savagefb: One more I2C-enabled device in savagefb
The I2C bus of the S3 Savage2000 is supposed to work the same way the Savage4

way.
I do not have the hardware to test this, so testers are welcome.

"After resuming from S3 (suspended while in X), the LCD panel stays black .
However, the laptop is up again, and I can SSH into it from another
machine.
I can get the panel working again, when I first direct video output to the
CRT output of the laptop, and then back to LCD (done by repeatedly hitting
Fn+F5 buttons on the Toshiba, which directs output to either LCD, CRT or
TV) None of this ever happened with older kernels."
This bug is due to the recently added vesafb_blank() method in vesafb. It
works with CRT displays, but has a high incidence of problems in laptop
users. Since CRT users don't really get that much benefit from hardware
blanking, drop support for this.

Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.
After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch. The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore. Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.
While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
only used by touch_atime.

Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can
build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft. We need a
special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done.
This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures. Also remove some
superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c
Tested on ppc64.
[1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct
for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd
kick in for all netdevice users. We can introduce a proper handler
in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to
struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't
compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this
