A compiled in driver can't use a module, so in this case the mt2131 or s5h1409

V4L/DVB (5975): cx88: Wrong values used for HD-3000 radio mode
After some tedious work with a logic probe and a magnifying glass, I've
determined that GPIO 7 is used to switch between the DTT7612's Sound 4.5 MHz
IF output on pin 12 and the FM 10.7MHz If output on pin 11. GPIO 2 is used to
switch the card's analog sound output from from the analog input connector to
the CX23883's audio DACs.
So, in radio mode GPIO2 = 1 and GPIO7 = 0.
Add some comments about how the HD-3000's GPIOs are connected.
Delete the vmux setting for the radio, as vmux doesn't apply to radio mode.
Also delete the lines setting unused gpio words to zero; it's not necessary as
0 is the default value for uninitialized fields.

V4L/DVB (5973): ivtv: attach yuv field order to each frame
In the current driver, the field order is global. As soon as it's changed it
takes immediate effect. This is a problem when the video changes order mid
stream. Although it mostly works okay, the video may judder / flicker.
This patch attaches the field order to the frame, so that any buffered frames
will not be displayed until the correct field. In the event that the field
order is changed mid stream, the driver will ensure that the previous frame
is displayed for a minimum of 3 fields. These are the two original fields the
frame should have occupied, plus the one extra since the new frame still has
to wait for the correct field.

} else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {

link-local.\n");

This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.
The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()

field. I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux

for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the
switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences
in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

Remove unnecessary cast in prefetch()
It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).
prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.
Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
__builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.

Fix sys_remap_file_pages BUG at highmem.c:15!
Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below
sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB
RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has
wrapped.
That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its
two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault
unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg
down.
Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting
that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages
nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed
filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs.
[ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to
trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably
migrated to x86-64..
