Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally
unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there. So we simply
pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer. This fixes a real bug
and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the
forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read
as a number by UML, when calling read_output(). I verified the obtained
number corresponded to "BUG:").
The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is
already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be
better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not
be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of
this gradually).

[PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking
Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends
something different from "unsigned long flags;". Suprisingly large amount
of these was caught by recent commit c53421b18f205c5f97c604ae55c6a921f034b0f6 and others.
Idea is largely from FRV typechecking. Suggestions from Andrew Morton.
All stupid typos in first version fixed.
Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config.
Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save
and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive.
Note #2: techically, we should break only if
sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long),
however, the more pain for getting suspicious code into kernel,
the better.

GFP_DMA32 allocations to make sure graphics pages get allocated in the

AGP sub-drivers that really care, and can do better, could just choose
to implement their own allocator (or we could add another "64-bit safe"

to care in practice.
So for now, this trivial change means that we won't be allocating pages

I moved to a different town and my old snail-mail address is invalid
now. Also, there's no need at all to have any address like that in
the sources, so remove it completely.

Fix generic fb_ddc i2c edid probe msg
Benh points out that the msgs[0].flags entry never got initialized, and
since it's an automatic stack allocation, it could have any random
value, which is bad.
Rewrite the initializer to explicitly initialize all fields of the small
i2c_msg structure array we generate. Just to keep it all obvious, let's
handle msgs[1].buf in the same initializer while we're at it, instead of
initializing that one separately later.
When radeonfb was changed to use the new "generic" ddc, a bit of
code initializing the GPIO lines was lost, causing it to not work
if the firmware didn't configure them properly, which seems to
happen on some cards.

usb-storage: Remove duplicated unusual_devs.h entries for Sony Ericsson P990i
For some reason the unusual_devs.h entry for Sony Ericsson P990i had
three identical copies in a wrong place in the file in addition to the
correct entry.

USB: correct keymapping on Powerbook built-in USB ISO keyboards
similar to the version in adbhid_input_register(): The '<>' key and the
'^°' key on a german keyboard is swapped. Provide correct keys to
userland, external USB keyboards will not work correctly when the
'badmap'/'goodmap' workarounds from xkeyboard-config are used.
It is expected that distributions drop the badmap/goodmap part from
keycodes/macintosh in the xkeyboard-config package.
This is probably 2.6.18.x material, if major distros settle on 2.6.18.

USB: OHCI: fix root-hub resume bug
When a suspended OHCI controller sees a port's status change, it sets
both the Root-Hub-Status-Change and the Resume-Detect bits in the
Interrupt Status register. Processing both these bits, the driver
tries to resume the root hub twice!
This patch (as807) fixes the bug by ignoring RD if RHSC is set. It
also prints a slightly more informative log message when a
remote-wakeup event occurs.

USB: Fix UCR-61S2B unusual_dev entry
Recently this entry's bcd scope was narrowed so as not to falsly apply
to bcd's other than 0x0110. But while it breaks those of a larger bcd,
it is still needed for those of a smaller bcd - so this changes the
lower bcd limit to 0x0000.
