[PATCH] ppc32: Fix warning on CONFIG_PPC32 && CONFIG_6xx
In the *ppos cleanups, proc_dol2crvec was updated, but the prototype
found at the top of kernel/sysctl.h was not, generating warning. This
corrects the prototype to match the code.
(I'm gonna take a stab at moving these into arch/ppc shortly)

[ARM PATCH] 2002/1: lh7a40x Timer fixup
Patch from Marc Singer
The work already done to rectify the timer code initialization missed
a necessary change. This patch adds a timer initialization function
to the LPD7A400 machine type. It also makes a small correction to the
kernel configuration that is out of step with the machine specific
Kconfig.

Patch from Marc Singer

in order to get the lh7a40x port to build.

Be a bit more anal about allowing SCSI commands to be sent.
Normal users shouldn't have access to the raw device anyway
unless they are in the trusted "disk" group, but let's require
RAWIO capabilities. That's what the original SCSI interfaces
did anyhoo.
We probably _should_ just require write access, but that will
need more of a code change to pass down the file descriptor.

[PATCH] setup queue before elevator_init()
We must setup the queue before calling elevator_init(), otherwise the
elevator cannot use the queue members. This really hurts cfq since it
checks ->nr_requests, which is zero at that time.

[PATCH] wrong mac address with netgear FA311 ethernet card
From: Mathieu LESNIAK <maverick@eskuel.net>
This patch corrects a problem with Netgear FA311
ethernet card (a cheap one). Without it, the MAC address is byte swapped
ie :
HWaddr 02:00:07:E3:E9:F5
instead of :
HWaddr 00:02:E3:07:F5:E9
(the correct MAC address vendor code for Netgear/LiteOn is 00:02:E3)

[PATCH] prism54 Fix memory leaks
* Change the "version" OID to what it should be.
* Fix memory leaks - mgt_get_request always returns
* allocated memory for non-int OIDS (with an exception -
* keep reading). If the caller checks the return and itself
* returns, then it must free memory.
* However, it is possible to return from mgt_get_request
* early (!priv->mib). In this case, weird things can happen
* in isl_ioctl. Quick fix, at least to force an oops, is
* to set the union value to NULL. The real fix is to
* recode all mgt_get_request calls in isl_ioctl.

[PATCH] 4kstacks: fix compile with gcc 2.95
Investigation of why the build is failing due to bogus detection of
undefined symbols: We're getting this warning:
arch/i386/kernel/irq.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:3565: Warning: setting incorrect section type for
.bss.page_aligned
Which comes from this code in the 4k stacks code:
static char softirq_stack[NR_CPUS * THREAD_SIZE] __attribute__((__aligned__(THREAD_SIZE), __section__(".bss.page_aligned")));
static char hardirq_stack[NR_CPUS * THREAD_SIZE] __attribute__((__aligned__(THREAD_SIZE), __section__(".bss.page_aligned")));
Removing the __section__() fixes it, as does moving to gcc 3.2 or 3.3,
but gcc 2.95 and 3.0 still exhibit the problem. It seems the 4k stack
developers like newer compilers than I do :)
The gcc 2.95 section declaration looks like this:
.section .bss.page_aligned,"aw",@progbits
while the 3.1 section looks like this:
.section .bss.page_aligned,"aw",@nobits
It's definitely a bug that's been fixed:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-10/msg00507.html
I've been told that I can fix it with a carefully crafted assembly file and
maybe a change to the linker script, but all that it buys us is a little
space in the uncompressed kernel image. Plus, the warning will still be
there at compile-time.
I say, put them back in plain old BSS.

[PATCH] via-rhine: Really call rhine_power_init()
Without this patch, mainline via-rhine cannot wake the chip if some other
driver puts it to D3. The problem has hit quite a few people already.
This is a fix for the heisenbug with via-rhine refusing to work
sometimes. Patch "[9/9] Restructure reset code" contained a change made
necessary by patch [8/9]. Mainline merged [8/9] for 2.6.8 and is still
missing the fix, while -mm got it with [9/9].
Jesper Juhl provided crucial test data when no one else was able to
reproduce the symptoms.
