[IA64] disable preemption in udelay()
The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC. If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled
and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates
to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may
be too short or very, very long.
This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall
desired udelay time. This minimizes preemption-holdoffs.
udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.

[PATCH] Au1550 AC'97 OSS driver spinlock fixes
We have found some issues with Au1550 AC'97 OSS driver in 2.6
(sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c), though it also should concern 2.4 driver
(drivers/sound/au1550_psc.c).
start_dac() grabs a spinlock already held by its caller, au1550_write().
This doesn't show up with the standard UP spinlock impelmentation but when
the different one (mutex based) is in use, a lockup happens.
And the interrupt handlers also didn't grab the spinlock -- that's OK in
the usual kernel but not when the IRQ handlers are threaded. So, they're
grabbing the spinlock now (as every correct interrupt handler should do).

While doing some testing I discovered that if the BIOS on a board does not

The panic is due to dereferencing a pointer which is not initialized. The
pointer is initialized in port_setup() and/or mem_setup() and used in
init_one_smi() and cleanup_one_si(), however if either port_setup() or
mem_setup() return ENODEV the pointer does not get initialized.

[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.
