* check that length is large enough to cover the non-variable part of message or
rcom resp. (after checking that it's large enough to cover the header, of
course).

a) don't cast the pointer to dlm_header *, we use it as dlm_message *
anyway.
b) we copy the message into a queue element, then pass the pointer to
copy to dlm_receive_message_saved(); declare it properly to make sure
that we have the right alignment.

fcntl(F_GETLK,..) can return pid of process for not current pid namespace
(if process is belonged to the several namespaces). It is true also for
pids in /proc/locks. So correct behavior is saving pointer to the struct
pid of the process lock owner.

interruptible_sleep_on_locked() is just an open-coded
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), with the one difference that
interruptible_sleep_on_locked() doesn't bother to check the condition on
which it is waiting, depending instead on the BKL to avoid the case
where it blocks after the wakeup has already been called.
locks_block_on_timeout() is only used in one place, so it's actually
simpler to inline it into its caller.

For such a short function (with such a long comment),
posix_locks_deadlock() seems to cause a lot of confusion. Attempt to
make it a bit clearer:
- Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never
pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and
caller_fl conflict)
- Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto.
- Rewrite the comment, attempting a clearer explanation, and
removing some uninteresting historical detail.

Use existing dmi_get_system_info(),
Delete duplicate dmi_get_slot()

dmi_check_system() does sub-string matching using strstr(),
rather than exact string compares with !strcmp().
So delete the longer of the Acer blacklist entries, as its
function is just a redundant console message.

Building the aic7xxx driver includes the copy
of an .h file from a _shipped file.
In a highly parallel build Ingo saw that the
build sometimes failed (included distcc usage).
It was tracked down to a missing dependency from the .c
source file to the generated .h file.
We started to build the .c file before the
copy (cat) operation of the .h file completed
and we then only got half of the definitions
from the copied .h file.
Add an explicit dependency from the .c files to the
generated .h files so make knows all dependencies and
finsih the build of the .h files before it starts
building the .o files.
Ingo tested this fix and reported:
good news: hundreds of successful kernel builds and no failures
overnight.

I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs
This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).
This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.
