USB: power-management documenation update
This patch (as1014) was partly written by Tilman Schmidt. It
clarifies the USB power-management documentation by explaining that
when a disconnect occurs, a suspend method call might not be followed
by either a resume or a reset_resume call.

USB: Fix signr comment in usbdevice_fs.h

usbserial: fix inconsistent lock state
In commit acd2a847e7fee7df11817f67dba75a2802793e5d usb_serial_generic_write()
disables interrupts when taking &port->lock which is also taken in
usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback() resulting in an inconsistent lock state
due to the latter not disabling interrupts on the local cpu. Fix that by
disabling interrupts in the latter call site also.
This patch (as1000) sets the SCSI allow_restart flag for USB disk
devices. In theory this should never hurt, and there definitely are
devices out there (such as the Seagate 250-GB external drive) which
need the flag to be set.

ocfs2: Remove bug statement in ocfs2_dentry_iput()
The existing bug statement didn't take into account unhashed dentries which
might not have a cluster lock on them. This could happen if a node exporting
the file system via NFS is rebooted, re-exported to nfs clients and then
unmounted. It's fine in this case to not have a dentry cluster lock.
Just remove the bug statement and replace it with an error print, which
does the proper checks. Though we want to know if something has happened
which might have prevented a cluster lock from being created, it's
definitely not necessary to panic the machine for this.

ide: skip ide_wait_not_busy() on noprobe-disks
There is a problem in some hardware where the kernel will stall for
35 seconds waiting for disks that don't exist. This patch will skip
waiting for the BSY-bit on IDE drives to go away if you set "hdx=noprobe"
as a kernel option and the disk is not marked as 'present' (like when
you set the geometry by hand).
If no noprobe-option is set the code will work (more or less) as the
original but if set the code will skip the ide_wait_not_busy() for
that drive. Even if there would be a drive there and it is still busy
afterwards it should not matter since it isn't probed for later.
The code also honors the MAX_DRIVES variable instead of assuming that
there will be two harddrives on the bus.

This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit

This seems to be caused by use of an uninitialised structure due to NULL
options being passed to nfs_validate_mount_data(). Ensure that the
parsed mount data is always initialised.

SUNRPC: remove NFS/RDMA client's binary sysctls
Support for binary sysctls is being deprecated in 2.6.24. Since there
are no applications using the NFS/RDMA client's binary sysctls, it
makes sense to remove them. The patch below does this while leaving
the /proc/sys interface unchanged.
Please consider this for 2.6.24.
