Summary of changes from v2.4.21-pre4 to v2.4.21-pre5
============================================

<ajoshi@kernel.crashing.org>:
  o rivafb 0.9.4 update

<alex_williamson@hp.com[helgaas]>:
  o ia64: fix typo in ia32_support.c

<andrew.wood@ivarch.com>:
  o USB: USB-MIDI support for Roland SC8820

<arun.sharma@intel.com[helgaas]>:
  o ia64: ia32 emulation layer bug fix

  o [netdrvr ns83820] big endian fixes

<benh@zion.wanadoo.fr>:
  o Fix a bug in the workaround for closed P2P bridge IO windows which could actually break bridges that didn't need fixing
  o Export atomic_{clear,set}_mask for modules
  o Request Open Firmware to open all "display" devices instead limiting us to the first one. This helps getting all cards properly POSTed
  o Prevent the stack from growing on reads. This works around a problem with the mount syscall calling copy_mount_options() which can trigger a fault via copy_from_user() between the last core VMA and the stack.
  o Properly fixup the Winbond W83C553 IDE on Longtrail and BriQ's so the controller is switched to fully native mode and interrupts are configured properly
  o Fix serial table for BriQ hardware (different base clock) and make sure it works with CONFIG_VT
  o Fix a warning
  o Make sure xmon doesn't try to tap a hash table when none exist
