This patch adds support for the Olitec ISDN PCI card in the hisax gazel
driver. The gazel driver supports this card, but wasn't aware of its PCI
ids. Users used to modify the PCI ids of a supported card in
include/linux/pci_ids.h and recompile their kernel to get this card
running, as said in most Howtos. This patch makes the hisax gazel driver
recognize the PCI ids of the Olitec ISDN PCI card.

This resolves entry #4863 in the OSDL bugzilla. Although in that bug
report the failure occurred because of a confusion over scanning vs.
rescanning, in general add_sdev can fail for a number of reasons (the
simplest being insufficient memory) and the caller should cope properly.

reiserfs_new_inode() can call iput() with the xattr lock held. This will
cause a deadlock to occur when reiserfs_delete_xattrs() is called to clean

The following patch releases the lock and reacquires it after the iput.
This is safe because interaction with xattrs is complete, and the relock is
just to balance out the release in the caller.
The locking needs some reworking to be more sane, but that's more intrusive

RLIMIT_RTPRIO is supposed to grant non privileged users the right to use
SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR scheduling policies with priorites bounded by the
RLIMIT_RTPRIO value via sched_setscheduler(). This is usually used by
audio users.
Unfortunately this is broken in 2.6.13rc3 as you can see in the excerpt
from sched_setscheduler below:
/*
* Allow unprivileged RT tasks to decrease priority:
*/
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_NICE)) {
/* can't change policy */
if (policy != p->policy)
return -EPERM;
After the above unconditional test which causes sched_setscheduler to
fail with no regard to the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value the following check is made:
Thus I do believe that the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value must be taken into
account for the policy check, especially as the RLIMIT_RTPRIO limit is
of no use without this change.
[PATCH] acpi: Don't call acpi_sleep_prepare from acpi_power_off
Now that all of the code paths that call acpi_power_off
have been modified to call either call kernel_power_off
(which calls apci_sleep_prepare by way of acpi_shutdown)
or to call acpi_sleep_prepare directly it is redundant to call
acpi_sleep_prepare from acpi_power_off.
So simplify the code and simply don't call acpi_sleep_prepare.
In addition there is a little error handling done so if we
can't register the acpi class we don't hook pm_power_off.
I think I have done the right thing with the CONFIG_PM define
but I'm not certain. Can this code even be compiled if
CONFIG_PM is false?

machine_power_off on i386 and x86_64 now switch to the

is a good idea on reboot, so for those architectures it is a noop.
I can't see anything in the acpi spec that requires you to be on

for ia64. In addition ia64 has the altix a massive multi-node

i386 machine_power_off was disabling the local apic

the power management code.

ia64 doesn't have a special path in power_off

we really need to call the efi power off path
the efi driver can set pm_power_off like everyone
else.
