This is one of those workarounds sucked over from sk98lin driver.
The skge driver needs to detect the Yukon-Lite A0 chip properly,

dbdb904500 [PATCH] revert oversized kmalloc check
As davem points out, this wasn't such a great idea.  There may be some code
which does:

	size = 1024*1024;
	while (kmalloc(size, ...) == 0)
		size /= 2;

which will now explode.

67b108131d [PATCH] ppc64: Fix huge pages MMU mapping bug
Current kernel has a couple of sneaky bugs in the ppc64 hugetlb code that
cause huge pages to be potentially left stale in the hash table and TLBs
(improperly invalidated), with all the nasty consequences that can have.

One is that we forgot to set the "secondary" bit in the hash PTEs when
hashing a huge page in the secondary bucket (fortunately very rare).

The other one is on non-LPAR machines (like Apple G5s), flush_hash_range()
which is used to flush a batch of PTEs simply did not work for huge pages.
Historically, our huge page code didn't batch, but this was changed without
fixing this routine.  This patch fixes both.

188a1eafa0 Make sure SIGKILL gets proper respect
Bhavesh P. Davda <bhavesh@avaya.com> noticed that SIGKILL wouldn't
properly kill a process under just the right cicumstances: a stopped
task that already had another signal queued would get the SIGKILL
queued onto the shared queue, and there it would remain until SIGCONT.

This simplifies the signal acceptance logic, and fixes the bug in the
process.

Losely based on an earlier patch by Bhavesh.

278c995c8a [PATCH] RPC,NFS: new rpc_pipefs patch
Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's
 a little unfortunate.  They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and
 thus need to perform a full lookup.  If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
 always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
 a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
 above functions.

 And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
 this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.

 Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and
 AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment.  Could someone give
 it a spin?  It's the last bit needed before we can rework the
 lookup_hash API

3167e12c0c [PATCH] RPC: make sure to get the same local port number when reconnecting
Implement a best practice: if the remote end drops our connection, try to
 reconnect using the same port number.  This is important because the NFS
 server's Duplicate Reply Cache often hashes on the source port number.
 If the client reuses the port number when it reconnects, the server's DRC
 will be more effective.

12a804698b [PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transports
The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to
 choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether
 the transport itself provides it.

 The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the
 RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling
 together.  This method provides proper request serialization and the
 opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the
 transport is congested.

 The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control
 itself.  Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after
 years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control
 is much better than doing it in the RPC client.  Thus TCP, and probably
 every future transport implementation, will use the default method,
 xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind
 of congestion control.  UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided
 Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation.

 Test-plan:
 Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.  Look for significant
 regression in performance or client stability.

 Tens of runs of the Connectathon locking suite with TCP and UDP
 against several other NFS server implementations using NFSv3,
 not NFSv4 (which doesn't require rpcbind).

eab5c084b8 [PATCH] NFS: use a constant value for TCP retransmit timeouts
Implement a best practice: don't use exponential backoff when computing
 retransmit timeout values on TCP connections, but simply retransmit
 at regular intervals.

 This also fixes a bug introduced when xprt_reset_majortimeo() was added.

 Test-plan:
 Enable RPC debugging and watch timeout behavior on a NFS/TCP mount.

da35187801 [PATCH] RPC: proper soft timeout behavior for rpcbind
Implement a best practice:  for soft mounts, an rpcbind timeout should
 cause an RPC request to fail.

 This also provides an FSM hook for retrying an rpcbind with a different
 rpcbind protocol version.  We'll use this later to try multiple rpcbind
 protocol versions when binding.  To enable this, expose the RPC error
 code returned during a portmap request to the FSM so it can make some
 decision about how to report, retry, or fail the request.

 Test-plan:
 Hundreds of passes with connectathon NFSv3 locking suite, on the client
 and server.

23475d66bd [PATCH] RPC: Report connection errors properly when mounting with "soft"
Fix up xprt_connect_status: the soft timeout logic was clobbering tk_status,
 so TCP connect errors were not properly reported on soft mounts.

 Test-plan:
 Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).  Connectathon
 with UDP and TCP.
