A simplification:
- fw_cdev_allocate_iso_resource.channels is now ordered like

firewire: prevent creation of multiple IR DMA contexts for the same channel
OHCI-1394 1.1 clause 10.4.3 says: "If more than one IR DMA context
specifies receives for packets from the same isochronous channel, the
context destination for that channel's packets is undefined."
Any userspace client and in the future also kernelspace clients can
allocate IR DMA contexts for any channel. We don't want them to
interfere with each other, hence it is preferable to return -EBUSY if
allocation of a second context for a channel is attempted.
Notes:
- This limitation is OHCI-1394 specific, therefore its proper place of
implementation is down in the low-level driver.
- Since the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI simply maps one userspace iso
client context to one hardware iso context, this OHCI-1394
limitation alas requires userspace to implement its own multiplexing
of iso reception from the same channel and card to multiple clients
when needed.
- The limitation is independent of channel allocation at the IRM; the
latter is really only important for the initiation of iso
transmission but not of iso reception.
- We don't need to do the same for IT DMA because OHCI-1394 does not
have any ties between IT contexts and channels. Only the voluntary
channel allocation protocol via the IRM, globally to the FireWire
bus, can ensure proper isochronous transmit behaviour anyway.

Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host
This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()
Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page
dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping
private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure
that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without
the dirty bits set when the page is dirty.
I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue
Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve
a real race, which we should close."

sparc64: Fix crash with /proc/iomem
When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type
"cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct
resource are uninitialized.
Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.
After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.

smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on open
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as
it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees
a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values
every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module
is loaded.
Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.
The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.
Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if
packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll
interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib,
but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.
This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.
Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net
For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.
This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.
If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.
The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date. This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

bnx2: Fix problem of using wrong IRQ handler.
The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix().
If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
INTA mode. This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because
INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler.
Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns
successfully. Also update version to 1.9.3.

upgrade of a 64 bit process from 3 to 4 levels of page table needs
to use the arch_mmap_check hook to catch large mmap lengths. The

Make page table walking on s390 more robust. The current code requires
that the pgd/pud/pmd/pte loop is only done for address ranges that are
below the end address of the last vma of the address space. But this
is not always true, e.g. the generic page table walker does not guarantee
this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the
address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it
breaks the upgrade of a 3 level page table to a 4 level page table.
To make the upgrade work again another fix is required.

[S390] Dont check for pfn_valid() in uaccess_pt.c
pfn_valid() actually checks for a valid struct page and not for a
valid pfn. Using xip mappings w/o struct pages, this will result in
-EFAULT returned by the (page table walk) user copy functions,
even though there is valid memory. Those user copy functions don't
need a struct page, so this patch just removes the pfn_valid() check.

in __div64_31 are correct, only the code does not do what the comments
say. The part "If the remainder has overflown subtract base and increase
the quotient" is only partially realized, the base is subtracted correctly
but the quotient is only increased if the dividend had the last bit set.
Using the correct instruction fixes the problem.
