This new color expansion acceleration for radeonfb appears to trigger
problems with X on VT switch and suspend/resume on some machines. It
might be a problem in the VT layer or in X, but I haven't quite found
it yet, so in the meantime, this disables the acceleration by default,

Since applying the fix suggested by the errata (disabling MSI), we've had
issues with interrupts being stuck on despite IIR being 0 on GM965 hardware.
Most reporters of the issue have confirmed that turning MSI back on fixes
things, and given the difficulties experienced in getting reliable MSI working
on Linux, it's believable that the errata was about software issues and not
actual hardware issues.

Revert "ide: respect current DMA setting during resume"
While 440037287c "[PATCH] switch all filesystems over to
d_obtain_alias" removed some cases where fh_to_dentry() and
fh_to_parent() could return NULL, there are still a few NULL returns
left in individual filesystems. Thus it was a mistake for that commit
to remove the handling of NULL returns in the callers.
Revert those parts of 440037287c which removed the NULL handling.
(We could, alternatively, modify all implementations to return -ESTALE
instead of NULL, but that proves to require fixing a number of
filesystems, and in some cases it's arguably more natural to return
NULL.)
Thanks to David for original patch and Linus, Christoph, and Hugh for

On ARMv6 and later CPUs, it is possible for userspace processes to
get stuck on a misaligned load or store due to the "ignore fault"
setting; unlike previous CPUs, retrying the instruction without
the 'A' bit set does not always cause the load to succeed.
We have no real option but to default to fixing up alignment faults
on these CPUs, and having the CPU fix up those misaligned accesses
which it can.

Commit 8ec53663d2 ("[ARM] Improve
non-executable support") added support for detecting non-executable
stack binaries. One of the things it does is to make READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
be set in ->personality if we are running on a CPU that doesn't support
the XN ("Execute Never") page table bit or if we are running a binary
that needs an executable stack.
This exposed a latent bug in ARM's asm/processor.h due to which we'll
end up placing the stack at a very low address, where it will bump into
the heap on any application that uses significant amount of stack or
heap or both, causing many interesting crashes.
Fix this by testing the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT bit in ->personality instead
of testing for equality against PER_LINUX_32BIT.

There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the
command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence
that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed
out.
As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make
sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself.
Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.

This reverts commit 558073dd56, along with
the failed try to fix the regression it caused ("ACPI: Fix ACPI battery

Commit aaad077638 (that failed "Fix ACPI

problem with Rafael's battery monitor apparently just by mistake.
So revert them both, getting us back to the 2.6.27 state in this, and
let's revisit it when people understand what's going on.

The 440x5 core in the Virtex5 uses the 440A type machine check
(ie, they have MCSRR0/MCSRR1). They thus need to call the
appropriate fixup function to hook the right variant of the
exception.
Without this, all machine checks become fatal due to loss
of context when entering the exception handler.

Under my 2.6.28-rc6 sparc64, when associating to an AP through my
zd1211rw device, I was seeing kernel log messages like (not exact output):
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[10129b68] zd_mac_rx+0x144/0x32c [zd1211rw]
For the zd1211rw module, on RX, the 80211 packet will be located after
the PLCP header in the skb data buffer. The PLCP header being 5 bytes
long, the 80211 header will start unaligned from an aligned skb
buffer.
As per Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt, we must replace the
not unaligned() safe compare_ether_addr() with memcmp() to protect
architectures that require alignment.

After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of
compare_ether_addr(), I started to see kernel log messages detailing
unaligned access:
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100f7f44] sta_info_get+0x24/0x68 [mac80211]
As with the aforementioned patch, the unaligned access was eminating
from a compare_ether_addr() call. Concerned that whilst it was safe to
assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take
preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the
easy fix of changing the call to memcmp().
My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are
a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing
mac address comparisons throughout the module.

In "ipw2200: Call netif_*_queue() interfaces properly", netif_stop_queue()
and netif_wake_queue() were removed with the reason
"netif_carrier_{on,off}() handles starting and stopping packet flow into
the driver". The patch also removes a valid condition check that
ipw_tx_skb() cannot be called if device is not in STATUS_ASSOCIATED state.
But netif_carrier_off() doesn't guarantee netdev->hard_start_xmit won't
be called because linkwatch event is handled in a delayed workqueue. This
caused a kernel oops reported by Frank Seidel:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397390
This patch fixes the problem by moving the STATUS_ASSOCIATED check back
to ipw_tx_skb(). It also adds a missing netif_carrier_off() call to
ipw_disassociate().
