7dd1d9b85c [AGPGART] VIA PT880 Ultra support.
This patch enables agpgart on a Via "PT880 Ultra" based motherboard
(Asus P4V800D-X). The PCI ID of the PT880 Ultra is 0x0308 instead of
0x0258 of the PT880.

The patched via-agp passes testgart.

e984bb43f7 [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary
Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER.  An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned.  Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints.  page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone).  Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.

SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured.  ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently.  This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

Fix some outstanding issues with the pxa2xx_spi driver when running on a

- Wrong timeout calculation in the setup function due to different
  peripheral clock rates in the PXAxxx family.

- Bad handling of SSSR_TFS interrupts in interrupt_transfer function.

- Added locking to interface between the pump_messages workqueue and the
  pump_transfers tasklet.

f8bbfc247e [PATCH] SCSI: make scsi_implement_eh() generic API for SCSI transports
libata implemented a feature to schedule EH without an associated EH
by manipulating shost->host_eh_scheduled in ata_scsi_schedule_eh()
directly.  Move this function to scsi_error.c and rename it to
scsi_schedule_eh().  It is now an exported API for SCSI transports and
exported via new header file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_api.h

This patch also de-export scsi_eh_wakeup() which was exported
specifically for ata_scsi_schedule_eh().

dd2d1c6f29 [SCTP]: Respect the real chunk length when walking parameters.
When performing bound checks during the parameter processing, we
want to use the real chunk and paramter lengths for bounds instead
of the rounded ones.  This prevents us from potentially walking of
the end if the chunk length was miscalculated.  We still use rounded
lengths when advancing the pointer. This was found during a
conformance test that changed the chunk length without modifying
parameters.

2babf5c2ec [PATCH] powerpc: Unify mem= handling
We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.

Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.

This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

Tested on P5 LPAR, iSeries, F50, 44p. Tested moving device tree on P5 and
44p and F50.

aef9ab4784 [JFFS2] Support new device nodes
Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single
data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it.

We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo).
This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as
possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and
then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first
two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it,
it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we
can expect.

those parameters to struct spi_transfer.  They are to be used when they are
nonzero; otherwise the defaults from spi_device are to be used.

The patch also adds a setup_transfer callback to spi_bitbang, uses it for
messages that use those overrides, and implements it so that the pure
bitbanging code can help resolve any questions about how it should work.

5e37661389 [PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernel
Even since a previous patch:

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe

The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.

symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock.  This deadlocks the kernel of course.

This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly.  Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address().  The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

986733e01d [PATCH] RCU: introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface
With "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com>

Introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface.  This can be used to tell if there
will be a new rcu batch on a cpu soon by looking at the curlist pointer.
This can be used to avoid to enter a tickless idle state where the cpu
would miss that a new batch is ready when rcu_start_batch would be called
on a different cpu.
