This patch contains two fixes. The first fix is to the tx and rx descriptor rings clean up process. The second fix is to jumbo frames, which cleans up the code logic and removes most of the fifo related limitations on jumbo frames. This is because the driver code now supports splitting a packet across multiple descriptors.

[PATCH] mv643xx_eth: Hold spinlocks only where needed
This driver has historically held a spin_lock during the entire open
and stop functions and while receiving multiple packets. This is
unecessarily long and holds locks during calls that may sleep.
This patch reduces the size of windows where locks are held.
The Marvell mv643xx ethernet hardware requires that DMA buffers be
aligned to 8-byte boundaries. This patch satisfies this requirement.
Buffers allocated by dev_alloc_skb() only have 4-byte alignment when
slab debugging is enabled.
Also, document that the 2-byte offset to align the IP packets on
receive is a hardware feature and is not tied to NET_IP_ALIGN.
Patch fixes a build problem with CONFIG_X86_VSMP. The vSMP bits probably
gathered some fuzz on its way to mainline, and safe_halt() which was outside
the #endif (CONFIG_X86_VSMP) somehow got inside the !CONFIG_X86_VSMP condition,
hence being undefined and breaking CONFIG_X86_VSMP builds. Patch takes
safe_halt() and halt() macros out of the #endif

Another try at this.
For 32bit follow the 32bit implementation from Ingo -

Randomized mappings for 64bit just vary the normal mmap break

... as they are no longer needed. Since there were hard-coded numbers in the

[PATCH] fuse: fix bitfield race
Fix race in setting bitfields of fuse_conn. Spotted by Andrew Morton.
The two fields ->connected and ->mounted were always changed with the
fuse_lock held. But other bitfields in the same structure were changed
without the lock. In theory this could lead to losing the assignment of
even the ones under lock. The chosen solution is to change these two
fields to be a full unsigned type. The other bitfields aren't "important"
enough to warrant the extra complexity of full locking or changing them to
bitops.
For all bitfields document why they are safe wrt. concurrent
assignments.
Also make the initialization of the 'num_waiting' atomic counter explicit.

[PATCH] fuse: add connection aborting
Add ability to abort a filesystem connection.
With the introduction of asynchronous reads, the ability to interrupt any
request is not enough to dissolve deadlocks, since now waiting for the request
completion (page unlocked) is independent of the actual request, so in a
deadlock all threads will be uninterruptible.
The solution is to make it possible to abort all requests, even those
currently undergoing I/O to/from userspace. The natural interface for this is
'mount -f mountpoint', but that only works as long as the filesystem is
attached. So also add an 'abort' attribute to the sysfs view of the
connection.
