Changelog
Hmm.. All over the map. IDE patches as usual, USB updates, tons of C99
named initializers work, ACPI update, fixes from Alan, driverfs race fixes
and cleanups, SCSI driver fixes from Doug and tons of input layer updates.
Oh, and a new LDM driver, Rusty's CPU hotplug infrastructure, and Ingo's
new cleaned-up GDT code with a per-process gdt segment on x86 for
thread-local storage. And the serial and parallel port drivers seems to
work again on SMP after the big irq lock upheaval.

Patrick Mochel <mochel@osdl.org>:
o Remove BKL from driverfs
o Use C99 initializers in driverfs
o driverfs: stop using vfs layer for file creation This is the first
of a series of patches to driverfs to _not_ use the vfs layer for
file creation and deletion.
o driverfs: don't use VFS for directory creation Call driverfs_mkdir
directly, instead of going through vfs.
o driverfs: don't use vfs for creating symlinks Add check for
existence of dentry in driverfs_symlink and driverfs_mknod (which
the other creation functions use).
o driverfs: Don't use VFS for file or directory deletion These are
tied together a bit, so they're included in the same patch
o fix memory leak when driverfs symlink fails
Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>:
o Do not call ncp_lookup_validate on mountpoint
o Remove unneeded server_file_handle and open_create_action property
from ncpfs info structures
o Return total/free space on ncpfs mounted volume
o Allow access to all 256 volumes from Netware server
o Use search for fileset instead of search for one item in ncpfs. It
is much faster as you usually read whole directory in one request
when using TCP transport, instead
o Check for s_maxbytes and generate SIGXFSZ correctly in ncpfs's read
and write. Only page cache generic_file_read/generic_file_write
check for these conditions, and because of ncpfs does not use page
cache, it must do that itself.
o Update and fix inode attributes handling in ncpfs
o Utilize NFS extended attributes for storing file mode and rdev.
Make sure that you use nodev,nosuid together with nfsextras if you
do not trust server...
o Decide whether to build fs/ncpfs/symlinks.c or not in Makefile and
not through ifdefing whole file out. It should make Al happier.
o ipx use of cli/sti
Russell King <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>:
o [SERIAL] Remove drivers/char/serial_{21285,amba}.c These drivers
are now part of drivers/serial
o [SERIAL] Fix documentation bug for expected stop_tx interrupt state
o [SERIAL] Fix buglet causing (eg) ttyS-14 Allocate positive instead
of negative line numbers when 8250.c registers a new port with the
core. This bug could cause registrations to erroneously fail, or
oopsen when the pcmcia serial device is ejected.
o [SERIAL] Stop open() looping while opening a non-present port
Trying to open a non-present port (for configuration) causes us to
to endlessly loop (by returning -ERESTARTSYS). We should be
returning success. This cset fixes this.
o [SERIAL] Turn on 8250 framing/parity error reporting on INPCK not
IGNPAR
o designated initalizers for serial/
o [SERIAL] Fix initialiser warnings for HUB6 ports We were missing an
element in the old_serial_port structure.
Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>:
o cpu_online() has odd semantics
o Hot-plug CPU Boot Changes
o Hot-plug CPU Boot Rewrite for i386
o Hot-plug CPU Boot Rewrite for PPC
Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>:
o clean up RPC write_space() code
o increase socket buffer for RPC over UDP
o Reduce the number of getattr/lookup calls in
nfs_lookup_revalidate()
o add proper NFSv3 permissions checking
Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>:
o Fixes needed to get Logitech WingMan 3D running
o Kernel command line [__setup()] parsing fixes in all the input
drivers that use it, except i8042.
o Update of the X-Box USB pad driver and documentation to version
0.0.5
o This patch by Brad Hards replaces the four id* fields of the input
struct by a single struct to simplify passing it around and to
userspace.
o Add an i8042_restore_ctr command line option. This allows not
restoring the CTR value after an AUX write by default, which breaks
Transmeta Crusoe i8042 chip emulation. The option might be needed
on some ancient hardware, though.
o Fox a typo in input documentation. Patch by Pavel Machek
o Remove duplicately defined keys in input.h that got there as a part
o Osamu Tomita <tomita@cinet.co.jp>
o Fix the PS/2 mouse wheel in Explorer PS/2 mode
o Enable the Q40 keyboard only on the Q40 platform
o After some grepping and talking to maintainers, I did the appended
cleanup patch. This should be it from me until char/keyboard.c
becomes a real input layer client, but this final patch will be
_very_ small now :-)).
o The following fixes compilation errors in the Acorn related input
drivers.
o The following patch adds the "resend" capability to the keyboard
driver; when the host driver detects a parity or framing error, we
can ask the keyboard to resend the data, instead of treating random
garbage as valid data.
o This patch adds two new serio input drivers. Both are "UART" type
drivers for PS/2 ports on both StrongARM and ARM Integrator
hardware.
o Apply Rusty's C99 initializer patch to input drivers
o Add a GrIP MultiPort gamepad hub by Brian Bonnlander and Bill
Soudan
o By popular request, and explicit method of telling which events
from a device belong together was implemented - input_sync() and
EV_SYN. Touches every input driver. The first to make use of it is
mousedev.c to properly merge events into PS/2 packets.
o Small cleanup in evdev.c, which copies the data directly from input
struct to userspace.
o Add support for AT keyboards connected over a PS/2 to Serial
converter to atkbd.c - trivial. Remove ps2serkbd, because it's not
needed anymore.
o Because the Linux Input core follows the USB HID standard where it
comes to directions of movement and rotation, a mouse wheel should
be positive where it "rotates forward, away from the user". We had
the opposite in psmouse.c. Fixed this.
o Add EVIOCSABS() ioctl to change the abs* informative values on
input devices. This is something the X peoople really wanted.
