[PATCH] genetlink: don't touch module ref count
Increasing the module ref count at registration will block the module from
ever being unloaded. In fact, genetlink should not care about the owner at
all. This patch removes the owner field from the struct registered with
genetlink.

[NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.
o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers
Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

[PATCH] Revert ide softirq handling
There's a problem with the REQ_BLOCK_PC handling as well (bad ->data_len
handling) where it could actually complete a request ahead of time. I
suggest we just back this out for now, I will resubmit it later when I'm
fully confident in it.
With the "power/state" sysfs interface being deprecated, make another
one available which is compatible to what was discussed on the linux
PM mailinglist.

[ARM] Allow r2 to be passed through the decompressor to the kernel
This is part of a patch from Marc Singer to allow r2 to be
passed to the kernel. Marc's original comments follow:
This revised R2 (atags pointer) patch incorporates comments from Nico
Pitre and Ben Dooks. It modifies the head.S files such that the R2
value set by the bootloader is conveyed to the kernel startup code.
The kernel head.S heuristically validates the pointer. It will set R2
to zero if it believes the pointer is invalid. Presently, it requires
that the ATAGS list reside in the first 16KiB of physical RAM.
Relaxing this contraint may be both desirable as well as tricky.

[PATCH] m68k: fix PIO case in esp
we always set ->SCp.ptr to physical address of buffer; for DMA that's
just what we need, but we end up using it as virtual address in PIO
case of esp_do_data(), with obvious breakage as soon as memory mapping
becomes non-trivial. The fix is obvious.

Too permissive constraint on mulu.l - the first argument should not be

[PATCH] m68k: oktagon makefile fix
oktagon_esp is described as modular. However, drivers/scsi/Makefile doesn't
handle it right - it's multi-object module, with one of the parts being built
from .S. Current makefile tries to declare each part a module of its own;
that not only wouldn't work (oktagon_io.o doesn't have the right parts for
that), it actually doesn't even build since kbuild doesn't believe in
single-object modules built from .S. Turned into proper multi-object
module...
