[PATCH] I2C: fix sx200_acb build on other arches
scx200_acb is only useful on a few Geode-based systems, and won't
compile on non-x86 systems due to the lack of asm/msr.h, as reported
by Andrew Morton. Thus, we should make that driver depend on X86.
Convert the f71805f driver to use arrays of attributes. This shrinks the
compiled module from 12.0 kB to 9.6 kB. We certainly should do the same
for as many hardware monitoring drivers as possible.
This, together with a nice chip design by Fintek, makes this driver
very small, both in terms of number of lines of code and memory
consumption.

The biovec default mempool limit of 256 entries results in over 3MB of RAM

We can let non possible cpus percpu data point to this 'redzone' instead of

NULL was not a good choice because part of [0..32768] memory may be

If CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is not defined, each non possible cpu points to

[PATCH] Shrinks sizeof(files_struct) and better layout
1) Reduce the size of (struct fdtable) to exactly 64 bytes on 32bits
platforms, lowering kmalloc() allocated space by 50%.
2) Reduce the size of (files_struct), using a special 32 bits (or
64bits) embedded_fd_set, instead of a 1024 bits fd_set for the
close_on_exec_init and open_fds_init fields. This save some ram (248
bytes per task) as most tasks dont open more than 32 files. D-Cache
footprint for such tasks is also reduced to the minimum.
3) Reduce size of allocated fdset. Currently two full pages are
allocated, that is 32768 bits on x86 for example, and way too much. The
minimum is now L1_CACHE_BYTES.
UP and SMP should benefit from this patch, because most tasks will touch
only one cache line when open()/close() stdin/stdout/stderr (0/1/2),
(next_fd, close_on_exec_init, open_fds_init, fd_array[0 .. 2] being in the

[PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readahead
Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when

So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead(). This means
that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop.
Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state,
but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's
address_space. Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this.

This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.
The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.
The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.
The interface documentation is included in the patch.
The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
